They are pretty similar to them.
No they most definitely are not.
Do they require pilots? Do they require regular maintenance or they will breakdown?
Saying they are similar is like drawing an equivalence between a horse buggy and an aircraft carrier.
Endbringers are Nowhereverse behemoths.
He was holding back whenever we see him fight.
He doesn't repeat any of this stuff later on, despite how much it would have helped him in his fights.
Some weapons are not suitable for close-in work.
You do not use a daiklave for longrange combat, or a sniper rifle for a gunfight, or a nuke as a grenade.
It is important when you are dealing with chip damage, not so much otherwise.
I don't think you've done the math.
Someone just blasted fully armored Prayer with a Very Large Essence cannon equivalent(45B, Piercing).
She applies full bashing soak, 49-39 = 10 dice of damage. Roll damage by Exalted rules will give ~5 HLs of damage; almost a third of Prayer's health.
At 2B/tick, BRW just healed the entire thing in 3 seconds.
Or we could try a Heavy Implosion Bow in Lethal mode(50L)
Apply lethal soak, 50-29 = 21 dice of damage. Roll damage to get ~11 HLs of damage; that's two thirds of Prayer's health.
BRW takes 11 seconds to fix that at 1L/tick.
Those are not abstractions; those are canon Exalted stats for their big weapons.
Like I said, there is a reason why the tactical genius PC told her to keep it on and leave it on in combat situations.
Whether or not they are able to hit her depends upon their attack dice pools. Is it dex + martial arts? Or is do they have something like the "Brutal attack" merit and thus get str + martial arts?
Given that they aren't actually getting their physical feats from their strength, but because of Entitytech powers?
I fail to see how this is applicable.
Ziz isn't a great dodger because her Dex is that good, but because she can predict your attacks
Behemoth doesn't hit so hard because he's strong, but because his powers manipulate energy at the impact point.
Leviathan is the only one I remember with actual physical feats, as we know he can throw cars physically.
Leviathan (and probably Behemoth) should have a dice damage pool of at least 114 (assuming they are at least as strong as alexandria, given that they could grapple with her).
NO.
1) Alexandria is not that strong, has never been that strong.The whole 1.75 million pounds/tons is based on a misapprehension of how pressure works.
The entire base might have weighed that much, but the area that Alexandria was supporting weighed much less.
Furthermore, she wasn't lifting it; she was using her body and powers as a makeshift support beam. Important difference.
2)We do not see anything like this in canon.
Not even when they were fighting Scion. Ergo, there is no evidence for that claim.
Vision of Vengeance is female?!
Not in canon, but for this quest?
Remember when Iris is very particular about being a HE?
I am pretty sure Taylor had a charm that protects her from enviromental affects even back then.
Protects from environmental damage. Not from deliberate attack.
You need an E4 submod(Attack Assimilation, which Taylor now has) to block non-magical attacks.
Taylor did not have that in the Behemoth fight.
They don't always use all of their firepower, it isn't just changed tactics.
Leviathan was much faster and much stronger than a human. In canon Skitter drove him off from a shelter with armsmaster's halberd.
The halberd which couldn't kill him.
Scion vs MechaLeviathan in Gold Morning.
No firepower upgrade.
Skitter did NOT drive off Leviathan.
She poked him in the ass with the halberd, and then ran away, with Leviathan chasing her.
He still broke her back for it, then Bitch came to her rescue, then Eidolon, then Scion.
Extermination 8.5
It makes it a lot less likely for them to create stuff aspected to creation elements.
Creating CMAs is not easy in the first place.
I fail to see why this is supposed to be some sort of obstacle to the guys who created CMAs for medium artillery and lightsabers.
Especially since they have been in Autoland for several thousand years.
There is also the whole thing about elemental aspect affinity.
Alchemicals are not automatically aspected to Lightning, but can still use Live Wire style without surcharge.
Besides, that's sorta why the PLM submod
Lotus Filament Conduction exists.
Leviathan was messing with armsmaster. Legend can move very fast.
Still not seeing your point.
MechaColin found melee combat against Endbringers a viable strategy, according to Skitter/Weaver, and it's not like cyborgification made him superdextrous.
I suspect you're mistaking travel speed with actual combat speed.
WoG disagrees with you-
