Got my Bots/Sonic themed MM to 50, time to start thinking about his build!

[blargsnarf]

My MM is a prolific astrophysicist turned gangster rapper. Therefore, he uses Bots and Sonic.

I've managed to wing it to 50 so far, but I think it's time to actually try a Real Build, since I'm pretty sure I've picked a billion bad choices.

 

The only Bot/Sonic build I found was on cohtitan from 2017. I'm gonna link the topic, and paste the build - can someone lemme know if it's still.. viable? I know it won't be the strongest, or best, but I wanna give myself a fighting chance, at least.

You might want to consider the Sudden Acceleration KB to KD procs in the Exp Blast and Energy Torrent depending on how much you enjoy the KB. You might want to think about putting one in each of the robot Summons as well, mainly because the Assbot lays down a Burn patch and the KB from the bots will knock the bad guys out of it. I did this with my Time/Bot MM and it was a game-changer. 

 

Good luck.

Thank you! I'm still super new, so just to check, that's an enhancement that changes knockback to knockdown? Because yeah that seems really overpowered, I'll definitely look into it!

I've been using this build for a Bots/Sonic MM, and it seems pretty solid thus far!

There are two:

Sudden Acceleration knockback to knockdown. This can be slotted in multiple powers.

 

Overwhelming Force damage/knockdown unique. It can turn knockback powers into knockdown, and other attacks gain a 20%  to knockdown as well. 

 

I'd put a Sudden Acceleration into Assault Bot, and then the Overwhelming Force into the Drones so they have triple the attacks to proceed a KD.

 

I've found the Protector Bots don't KB enough to warrant slotting for KD. Save that slot for something else.
