Hazard vs Menace

My Menace is S100 and I only recently started collecting Hazard cards considering he's mentioned to be the best so often.

I have enough Unicards to get Menace to SS but I'm wondering if I should just completely skip Menace now and focus on Hazard.

Besides Menace I have S100 Scarab and A80 Kraken. Legatus isn't unlocked yet.

Please advice. Thanks in advance.

You won't regret focusing your efforts on Hazard. It is a must have today.

But, who knows when devs will nerf it to the ground (as they did to Scarab) ?

Menace is a good starting speedbot but it will become useless later on . Focus on hazard kraken and cetus . And of course if you unlock legatus it is best for story clearing

The current (1.14) META BroBot combos are:
Hazard SSS200 / Nicola XXS SSS200 (Planes with life restoration ie. Gambit)
Hazard SSS200 / Kraken SSS200 (Planes without life restoration ie. Buzzsaw)

You can substitute a SSS200 LEGATUS for Hazard in the Kraken Combo if you want.
Hope this helps. Bugglesworth

Hazard is a must due to its damage bonus perk to Aces. Without it you will barely scratch any high stage boss (stage 180 or higher).

Hazard Legatus pair is for normal stages.

You need 2 speedbots, especially on fast stages including legendary otherwise you won’t be able to keep up.

Hazard Cetus for boss (180 or higher).

You should also focus on Kraken.

Nico is ok as the fifth bot but if you have the mighty Four at sss200 you may as well skip it.

So which Brobot do you recommend me using my Unicards on at the moment? I'm currently using A80 Kraken and S100 Menace. Upgrade my Kraken to S, get Hazard to S to replace Menace or save them until I unlock Legatus?

Kraken cards are easily available in the broshop. I wouldn't use unicards on this one.

Hazard is hard to get. Use unicards to get it to S.

The advantage of focusing hazard is that hazard cards are less common, compared to menace, which spawn more frequently, so saving the cards for the rare brobots is wiser. So you will probably getting the remaining cards for menace easier than hazard ones

Both, depending on which plane you are flying. Its not uncommon for me to use both at the same time. Menace has a fast reload time and a longer duration OD than most which really helps alot in hard times. Its not an immediate screen clearing machine like Legatis but after using it for a while you develope a sense of when to hit the Oh Shit button. LoL
