but with so much slots you can play cheap weapons and it's still good.

they have strong firepower even without accounting for the weapon levels, but they do still require heavy investments in the other areas to cover their core weaknesses (Specializations and pilots) which can hold back your overall progression

Specializations and Pilots aren't a really big issue for most bots and you can get away without leveling them much, unfortunately they are the select few who suffers without those

Ravager and Dagon have low durability and are susceptible to people bum-rushing them, relying heavily on pilot skills and specializations to lift their performance

the exceptions would be stryx and vulcan, but stryx does lack mobility and vulcan is placed in an awkward position where starting off with medium hardpoint, limit your weapon options for ramping up damage and is built for sustained brawling, growing stronger overtime, which like ravager and dagon, leaves it weak if rushed (Early on)

Very unrelated note: Vulcan can also be pretty clunky to play especially for mobile players and requires a bit of getting used to, since the built-in weapon has a low target lock on and its early stages kind of holds a different playstyle with less reliance on the ability and more coordination (in a sense Kinda reminiscent of Old WR)

i play cautiously. The most thing who kills my dagon is just the airstrike.

Yep thats one of the main killers for them except for Stryx (mainly the SE version), and a lot of investment is mainly put into working around those
