[Info] Useless bot core compendium

We have a thread about bots that need more love. How about a thread for bots that don't deserve to be shown love?

Honestly I'm really hard-pressed to think of a core that's outclassed in every circumstance that also isn't a "joke" core (like Cannonballer, Blocky, Damtree, etc), so I'm not really sure if I can even start this thread off myself. Pitch out some ideas, I'm expecting the full list to remain relatively small though.

Secret agenda: Waiting for people to suggest bots they didn't know were good as useless to get them to try something new.

Current List of Useless Bots:
Jaguar Arm
Crabberoid
Mach Knight One
Shine Battler

Jaguar Arm is the first thing that popped into my head.

I was initially going to reply to this with "As much shit as I give this bot, I honestly probably could come up with a use for it."

Then I tried and couldn't make make a build with it that wouldn't be better on another land core entirely. Those carts, stats, and capacity are all just garbage.

Sturbanger

Honestly, there's a reason you don't see Sturbanger getting much love. Generally speaking it takes a lot more effort than it's worth to make him truly effective. That doesn't mean you can't, he's just...not usually worth the effort unless you're a big Sturbanger fan.

i wonder if this makes sturbanger get a place in the list

I can think of several things I could do with a sturbanger that would give it merit.

Mach Knight :<

His parts are decent, but I really cant do much with him build wise a Izuna wouldnt do better even.


Crabberoid?

I dont know anything special about him other than he lacks BS slot :<

Mach Knight can be used as a low-cost bomber if you keep him low level and just use him to spam his internal above a crowd.

Crabberoid...is a land with carts and a default bit suggesting that it should be a bit-centric land. I guess I can't really think of a situation that would be useful considering you can just use generic support #14352 for the same purpose.

I'll add both to the list, though I don't know much about either. Feel free to correct that if I'm wrong to add them.

Damn tree. Prove me wrong.

Jaguar arm isn't so bad
I broke a ps in seconds with it in a newbie room

Spoiler:

mach knight one?

ehm...TurtleBacker......Even Frog Lander is more usefull.

elisalotte

Build Arm, seriously, what to do with it when you have Victory 1 and Misside's BDs?

JOHN MADDEN DOESN'T LIE.

Elisa, while not the best melee bot when compared to other high tiers, has good potential, and the ability to hop prior to lv. 5. Sorry, I'm not a land lover, but through circumstance (MELFI!!!?? WHY MUST YOU TEST MY LOVE TT__TT) I ended up with one. And I've liked her. There's no way she's as useless as the bots currently listed -_-

Keep in mind, just because an individual dosn't commonly use the bot, dosn't mean that it's completely useless.

Elisalotte HURHURHURHURHURH

Elisalotte has no potential. period.

her melee strike pushes enemies back, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

Mamino!

It's Manimo, not Mamino and it's a NPC in CB.

Daruma Star, even though the default bit is mini burstfire, I still don't think it's worth using. It won't even last long enough to fully activate it's WB, even in a level 5 room.

Elisa's shoulder/shield thingies negate homing v.v

Mechled

Look, I know you can break a PS fast with one, but really, are you going to survive the trip there to begin with?

some people put sport car skinned HD, a scouter rifle and sometime mecha jetter leg
