Metal Heart
I'll be rating the following skills based on it's effectivity and usefulness in PVE and PVP from trash to Metal as fck
Once you've finished wasting 30 minutes of your life getting to our most hated class,you'll be introduced with
and

Air Mecha : Gale Force a.k.a BUDDY COP
PVP: Metal as hell
PVE: Meh
This move is like a b*tch, annoying as hell but at the same time,a man's best friend.It'll start off by summoning 40 homing missiles which is really useful,both in PVP and PVE. It absorbs damage if you're hit from behind and sometimes in the front . I recommend taking this and use it constantly even if you already summoned it.
Recommended Enhancement:Resource consumption decreased 80%

KS-83 The Grenade that's not a grenade
PVP: Pretty good
PVE:Trash
You throw an electric bomb that snatches on an enemy and damages them 10 times until it blows ,enemies can shake it off by pressing left and right (but honestly,they're either too lazy for that or too dumb to know how so don't worry) . This move is a good starter in PVP for enemies who like to rush a direct battle,especially if you took the super armor enhancement,you can cancel them and do a counter attack
Recommended Enhancement: Super Armor added to the skill Cooldown increased to 120%

Mechanic Mastery
PVP: eh
PVE: also eh
Your summons are stronger and when you're knocked down,you summon a Land Runner . Honestly,this passive is a bit unnoticable to me,i'm not saying that it's completely useless, but it's not exactly great either .

Robot Detonation Lock'n'Loaded
PVP: Completely Trash
PVE: Slightly less trashy
You go sniping mode and lock on a spot for your robots to explode at the spot you chose.
If you're a beginning Metal Heart,this move is okay regarding damages,but if you're optimus,this move is garbage.
Recommended Enhancement : Cooldown decreased to 80%

Ez-8 Count Down STAY WITH ME SENPAI
PVP: Not bad
PVE: Kinda Useful
You summon a robot that pulls enemies in for 3 seconds then blows up, the pull will also damage the enemy.
Like Robot Detonation,this move is only effective in PVE if you're a Metal Heart,it's effective for any crowdy areas and deal damage to them all at once,but if you reach Optimus,this move is as useful as a trash bag. In PVP however,this is not a bad choice,say you knocked down your enemy,you summon this and they'll be pulled towards the robot,giving you chance to initiate on them before they can run away and counter .
Recommended Enhancement : Skill size increased to 120%

Ex-S Viper The Equivalent of Fallout 4's Crappy Pipe Gun
PVP: Worse than Trash
PVE : Slightly less worse than Trash
You summon a cannon that shoots bullets for 7.5 seconds until it self-destructs.
In my opinion,this is THE worse move both Optimus and Metal Heart can have,it's useless and weak,just don't even bother looking at it
Recommended Enhancement:None cuz it's complete crap

Mecha Drop
The better Artillery Strike
PVP:Useless in 1v1,eh in 2v2,not bad in 3v3
PVE:Super frickin Metal
The bomber passes through the sky over a wide area, dropping Land Runner bombs at a fast rate, inflicting great damage on multiple enemies.
This move is super frickin useful in dungeons,the range is huge and the damage is not so bad either, this is the move you need to start with at the beginning of the dungeon.
Recommended Enhancement:Ressource Consumption decreased to 80%


Sparrow Factory The Pain in the enemy's ass
PVP : Really useful in 1v1
PVE : Effective against bosses
Summon a machine that ejects small sparrows that tracks and damages enemies for 15 seconds.
This move is the equivalent annoyance of Magic Missile,only a lot better and stronger . Use this against bosses and 1v1s , it will bite them and bite them hard . This move will go great with Gale Force if you use both at the same time
Recommended Enhancement: Ressource Consumption decreased to 80%

Limit Over Upgrade!
PVP : Essential
PVE : Also Essential
Activates the G-Core and enhances all skills for 20 seconds.Dramatically increases your proficiency with the G System.Increases the damage of all skills by 15% and grants G skills special effects.
This buff is a must in every beginning, either it's PVP or PVE,you need to activate it,it'll boost your skills efficiently.The downside of this buff however is that you need to constantly use it,which is hard when Optimus resorts on Overdrive.
Recommended Enhancement : Skill effect's duration increased to 130%
Optimus
Now that you've finished wasting another 30 minutes of your life getting to Optimus,you'll be introduced with skills that are finally cool. Starting with
and

Magnetic Guard
Shield's Up!
PVP: Must have
PVE: Not necessary
You're buffed with a magnetic guard that will reduce your damage by 20% , increase your Defense and Magical Attack Power.
This buff is a great way to follow up with Limit Over,the damage reduced is visible and it's really effective in PVP since Optimus is a squishy class that focuses more on offensive than defensive.
Recommended Enhancement : Skill effect's duration increased to 120%

G-0 Battleroid
BRING OUT THE BIG GUNS
PVP:Metal as hell
PVE:More Metal than SlipKnot
Summon a robot that annihilate enemies by shooting guided missiles,bullets and lasers.
Use this at the beginning of a dungeon like Mecha Drop or bosses.The Battleroid autolocks on enemies,so use it in PVP as well if you want.In my opinion,follow it up after the enemy was knocked down so they can't run away and continue your combo immediately.
Recommended Enhancement : MP Usage decreased to 80% Cooldown increased to 120%

G-Extension
XXXXX
PVP:Super effective!
PVE:Do i need to repeat myself?
This buff is THE buff,turning you into a real optimus that everyone has and will hate.It increases all your speed and upgrades your machine guns significantly.(Try to ignore the salt)

G-1 Corona
Why aren't you mana breaking? :3
PVP:MUST.HAVE.
PVE:Not really effective
This move is just brutal in PVP,you shoot magical bullets towards the enemy in front but also works if the enemy is right behind you.Take this to PVP and your enemy will hate you so badly they blame the spam.
Recommended Enhancement : Target cannon Mana Break (duh)

G-4 Frisbee
You spin me right round baby right round~
PVP: Not really effective
PVE: Really powerful
You surround yourself with a round of frisbee that damages enemies that gets in your range.This move is essential in PVE especially against bosses,while the damage may look small,it packs a serious punch.
Recommended Enhancement : Max Hits increased Damage decreased to 80%

G-3 Raptor
The smaller shooting chaser
PVP: Pretty good
PVE: Weak
You throw a string of raptor that attacks a single target.This move cancels any movement or attack(except for super armor) on enemies in pvp,so use it at the beginning of your combo to catch your opponent.But beware,the MP this bad boy give to them is insane,don't overuse it.
Recommended Enhancement: Cooldown decreased to 80%

G-2 Rolling Thunder
THUNDABOLTA !
PVP: Weak
PVE: Slightly less Weaker than that
You summon five droids that shoots thunder in front of you three times.Honesly,this move is kind of weak compared to any other move both Optimus and Metal Heart has regarding PVP and PVE,but the burst is not bad,so take it if you want .
Recommended Enhancement : MP Usage increased to 130% Skill will ignore defense and guard

Magnetism Field
Not a force field.
PVP: Useless.
PVE:Even more Useless
You summon a droid that reflects any magical projectiles where it's installed.
This move is just weak,not as weak as S-Viper but still weak.Don't take it.
Recommended Enhancement : Doesn't matter

Mecha Generator
WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THIS MANA
PVP: Useful
PVE: SUPER useful
You gain mana for every robot you summoned and increases your maximum mana .
This passive is the top notch of awesomeness,the mana it gives you is insane in PVE and with the maximum mana you get,you can combine Mecha Drop with Battleroid to clear a wave instantly .

G-Mastery
Bigger disappointment than No Man's Sky
PVP: Uselss
PVE: Also useless
When your G-core extension buff is stacked fully,your G-Core machines will have their cooldown and mana reduced. Honestly,when i unlocked this passive,it was so disappointing.Just,don't bother with it.

Last but not Least
High-mobile Mech Volt MX
IT'S JUDGEMENT DAY BABY
PVP:Brutal.
PVE: Even More Brutal
You summon a high mobile robot by your side that will attack enemies.
This HA,in my opinion,is a bit weaker than Apocalypse,but a lot stronger than Thunderbolt for sure.There's nothing much to say about it but hope the best for your enemy once this bad boy is summoned.

There you go,my guide for you nerds on how to play Optimus,have fun screwing over your enemies and don't forget to say GG.Signing out.
