How do support mechs heal?

I got Winberrel Vesca, is there a specific weapon, or is it only the repair bit?

Unfortunatly, to my knowledge, repair bit is all you get, as to why most winberrls/vescas/ellens/shinebusters, don't engage in actual combat that often, they tend to run around and kill ghost trees//mushrooms//snowmen//etc. to get wonderdrug power ups, that can refill their wonder bits instantly, or sometimes other players will have one to give you if you ask, since you can make much better use of it than them generally. Far as weapons go, shields are always nice, since repair doesn't repair you ;P

I was going to be a support because I thought they would be all spec'd for healing..Healing weapons, Health drains..
But noo only limited wonder bits. :c

Healers still get the game in easy mode xD, guy on DOS team was being a healer the whole match, he died onne, got like 4th-5th place EVERY match, got supporter all the time, (Once with over 8000 support score)... and all he did was fly around and shoot ghost trees and use repair bit on our forces. xD

If you think about it lots can get easy mode...
Artillery with homing missiles and stealth upgrades for example.
Spam right click from a corner...
Or a lazy air unit with explosives.

Doesn't the A.Maid AM heal? It's an arm with a little gun that shoots pink lasers and when it hits someone it turns into hearts.

imo vesca with a good shield/barrier can make a pretty good offensive support.
personally i wouldn't know what kind of bit to use in that scenerio other than atk range. which really isn't all that helpful since others would do anything to get that and cluster near you. which could also put you at risk being offensive support.

Vescas one good attribute i learned was that her am2 pulls opponents towards you. with the help of others in your team you can single target focus on opponents that get to close and pull others in then root them with your second ability.
bad part to vesca is that the range of your weapons is ..... less than expected. your aoe root is more of a cone shaped root which affects anyone that is infront of you. where as ellens root is anywhere around her.

no it hurts, i created a land S bot with 2 a maid arms i found it can destroy bases in notime

Once you run outta of the good heal bits, can you get anymore? The mini ones you can get in the shop are very very bad.

Any heals a good heal, minis are still not bad, and you get more repair bits from just completing matches and stuff, random drop. Also, why would anyone use atk rage bits? Atleast use burst shot,.. for the sake of temporary hyper shot. xD

not to mention the mini repair bits also come at a x10 per 400 uc. so it really isn't that bad of a deal.
where as getting lucky and getting the actual repair bits are tougher since you really never know when they will drop. and sometimes you're forced to use those bits sparingly.

i just bought x20 mini repair bits for 800uc.
i think it's better than nothing and it can tide you over most of the battles.

one thing that sucks about being a supporter is that some people are just ungreatful after you've healed them.

supports are probably the other class i wouldn't mind as playing.
art/air are my least favorites.

for a good reason.

I also think it depends on how you build the Vescas. I have 2x M bazooka's and i just go front line and shoot w/e i see that's within my range. but not go too far out where i'm a sitting duck. i just need the barrier in order to let me live a little longer =p
but yeah i've only gotten best supporter and most frags in a game once. i think it was the first ever i manage to kill so many ppl and heal/root ppl at the same time.

Arg... I hate seeing a heal-move-fight-at-front-lines.... which I mean... fight and heal at the same time, not fight to get WB up then withdraw to set up heal.... But yeah... people are ungrateful....

*Edit* I also have 15 repair bits.... currently.

no at the front lines i do like any normal person would just attack. but when my bit is up i back up to heal. i don't stand in the front to heal ppl. that would be silly and your bit would get destroyed in the chaos.

i have 20 repair bits stocked up from drops and 5 mini repair bits left. =(
all because the ungreatfulness of some ppl that keep pushing me and using me as a shield while i'm healing.

Actually , yes you could heal people without the annoying and fragile (Let it be VERY) Bits . There is a robot called Koko Gaap also known as Chibis (Yay!)

~Able to heal other mechs like in Exteel (.....ah....i miss that game.....) ,but has a few restrictions . As you know She can blow kisses that home allies and gives them a solid 3 hp per shot. Well , i don't know if upgrading it's core will indeed increase the healing capabilites .

~Able to use Magicircle , which will give Long range status And Bullet restore.

Mush Mush :3 You can get it at Uc garapon (pretty rare).... You should already know this

For those who have trouble getting Repair bits (the good ones), just roll the UC Gara 2.

You'll get tons of them in no time.

i'm often using my medi aide(Almudena), and never get to the front line...cause the enemy cames for me x3

For those that have trouble reading dates,
