Want thought & opinions on upgrade path. Currently fluctuating at Expert I & Master III. Below are 3 Primary hangars: Base Hangar:  Assault Hangar:  Med Task / Ground Assault Hangar:  Current Assets: 140 Million Ag - just finished prem pack, will get another 4100 Au 30000 WS Points Right now: - Upgrade 2nd Thunder to L11 Then...... *I have 2 L7 Trebuchets, will have 3rd by tomorrow (on that task now). Wondering how good it 3 Trebuchet Fury is Now & Future?? What are opinions: - Weapons to L12... all? * wondering about rdb Griffin, current - 2.92 update & future??? - Get rest of bots to L10 (Griffin, Carnage, & Fury) before weapons??? Any thoughts please. SoCal |

We have very similar hangars and league standing except mine are are 11 to max; I also prefer to run 2 lances--one taran/ancille and the other thunder/orkans. The latter is a beast on tight maps, on open maps I'll save it for the last push. I do realize that the dash bots will make the lances obsolete--tried them out on the test server and it's ridiculously easy to kill lances especially when you run that self-firing-zeus-like weapon (I forget the name).
I'd recommend parking the tridents on the fury and replacing with zeuses. I'm currently upgrading mine in preparation for the dash bots. Since they fixed the bug they've been great.
As for bots vs wep upgrades, I'd go weapons first to bump your average damage; or if your very aggressive, then maybe it's best to move your 9 bots up to 10 at least.
Other than my zeus, I'm holding off and hording silver and gold waiting for the new bots to come out. I suspect many of my bots will also wind up on the endangered species list so I'm very selective on what to upgrade. If the new bots go the way of american bots then I doubt I'll be able to get them--I have more gold and silver than time or patience unfortunately.
Can't really comment on trebs since snipping bores me; and looking at your hangars you may also not care for it all that much--so why waste precious silver upgrading them?

push your bots to lvl 11 and all weaps to lvl 12.
you fluctuate because your performance is good/bad/good/bad.
only way to stay and climb up is to always finish on top.
win or lose you always need to be top 2 player.

Thanks for the replies and insight. @blythe, I was originally planning on 2nd Lance - 1 Ancilot / 1 Orkan /Thunder. Now with Dash bots, 5k Au is to much to drop on something that might be collecting dust next to my L9 Rhino in a couple months. Zeus - Have one L7, was hoping to win 1 or 2 like so many other weapons, but no such luck. Definitely planning Zeus/Carnage build, could drop 1.5k on that to start leveling up...... Trebs - just seeing them eliminate bots on the battlefield ya know.... could not wait on them before, probably still wont! I will pass... Heishiro, I will get everything up there, just curious if anyone has a 'BEST' path. Looking at close to month on weapons + the bots. My performance has also fluctuated because of event tasks, both mine and others. Also I had a 65% War Robots and took a beat down to 30%, climbing back up. Thunderkiss, As above I really did plan on 2nd Lance, but the Dash bots have me really concerned. 5k Au takes such a long time to horde, not sure if its worth the gamble?!? on a 2nd Lancelot. What do you guys think on the rdb - worth maxing weps to L12?? Right now planning: - Finish Thunder to L11 - Aphids to L12 - Lance L11 - Carnage L10 or L11 - Ancile L11 - Taran / Mags L12 *Depending on Carange use, maybe 2nd Zeus. Then 2x Zues to L10/L11 before Taran / Mags L12. |

I think we both know that you know what you are doing  That said I also get these moments of indecision where I ask everyone what to do when I really know what I'm doing. I think the best thing is to plug the gaps that you absolutely know will not be a waste first. In my opinion based on your hangar I think that would be: 3rd griffin to 10. Carnage or fury (choose 1) to 10. Thunder or ancille (choose 1) to 12 |

My performance has also fluctuated because of event tasks, both mine and others. Also I had a 65% War Robots and took a beat down to 30%, climbing back up. i don't know if there is a "best" path right now, PX did a lot of buff and also has a lot of future buff plans. the hangar below is my personal best line up so far..  |

For me, been running basically solo 97% of time, no rush for me at this time.. FlashAhAhh has joined clan and waiting for direction from him to proceed. I am really looking at not wasting resources on equipment that will gather dust in a few months. There are a couple threads that have very good discussions on weapons that are L11 for me - 4 days for L12 each - dont want to waste the Ag or the time. Big concerns: - Tulus / Pins - proximity / lag / reload - Tridents - proximity (should I really consider dropping 3k Au for 2x Zeus and then level up!!) [- 2nd Lance - 5k decision that was solid till (Dash + 2.92 combo) I will take any and all advice on that one!!!] moody, always appreciate your feedback! |

Not really a fan of the rdbs any more. I mean, they still work, and they are "fine", but it doesn't feel like they are worth the inclusion anymore. They used to be able to take on ancilots, a prime advantage. Now they need help.
*shrug*, there are worse things you could run.

I gather that the current RDB issues are actually a bug and will be fixed next update. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Want thought & opinions on upgrade path. Currently fluctuating at Expert I & Master III. Below are 3 Primary hangars: Base Hangar: Assault Hangar: Med Task / Ground Assault Hangar: If I were in your shoes, I would probably prioritize upgrading the Ancile and Lance to level 12. Your assault hangar setups, as they stand, should be quite competitive already for Masters League and above. Maybe by the time you've upgraded the Ancile and Lance to level 12, you've experienced enough gameplay with update 2.92 to make a better decision on the next steps. Its so hard to decide on a hangar nowadays with all the nerfs and buffs going on. Good luck! |

Hanger looks good to me, I'm running 2 Ancilots (one with Orks, one with Tarans), a DB griff, a RDB griff and the fifth slot was a TT Fury, that I switched Zeus. But I switch that bot out for an Ork/Thunder Lance, a Thunder Carnage, or a Orc Rog. Just depends on the mood.
I'm working on switching out the RDB griff with Pun's, but other than that level up your weapons to 12 and then wait and see what happens with the new bots coming out, you should be good all the way to Champ.

If you're worried about Lancelots being able to handle fighting dashes, they'll do just fine. |

Team Alpha Strike , With you comments on rdb, I would really like you feedback etc... on my current path options!! Primary concern on upgrades to (rdb) & (Tridents) in the wake of 2.92 and coming Dash bots. Thanks, SoCal Unfortunately, if the rocket fix on Andriod is permanent, then rockets will be very hard to use and might be seen as a liability. Personally, I think the rockets requiring great per accuracy benefits the Korean bots greatly AND makes the tri-Scourge Bulgasari the new meta overnight (cause only rockets can kill that beast in any reasonable amount of time and with 3 Scourges, you won't have that time if your rockets are even a third less effective than they are now). That being said, I'd not recommend upgrading any weapon you have right now to Level 12 - especially none of the mid-range rocket weapons (Trident, PIN, Tulu). Your store of 140M silver has to be preserved right now, as upgrading your RDB or TT setups to L12 will deplete that silver and you won't be ready to upgrade much after that (i.e., if you buy/win a Korean bot or several Scourge weapons). My gut feeling is that Pix has decided to nerf the entire rocket class to ensure that Korean bots and/or Scourge weapons will be "must haves", so I'm thinking TT Furies, RDB Griffs, any Carnage setup will become very iffy setups after this summer. Since you have almost all L11 weapons aside from the Thunders, I think your weapon levels are good for now (the Ancile is good now at L10). As far as your bots, I'd only get them to Level 11 on the Lancelot, Griffin, and Galahad, as these bots will still be viable until for quite a while since the expense if the new bots/weapons will keep their numbers low until in-game currency can buy them. The Fury and Carnage - upgrade those to Level 10 and stay there. By the time you get the bots to 11/10, I believe the Koreans will be here and you'll not have busted the bank of silver. What to do about the Korean bots?  Well, unless you can buy lots of Scourge weapons, you'll need to start building up the weapons you plan to fight them with. My plan is to build up 4 Hydras to L12 and put them on a Doc. At 60K Orr salvo on the Quad Hydras, I figure it can stop Mk1/Mk2 setups (assuming someone can beat down the Mk2's energy shield first) in 2-3 salvos or at least make them take cover. My other weapons I'll be switching too are Punishers and Molots - but I already have those weapons leveled up. |

Reviewing what to upgrade: - I do have 2nd Galahad (unleveled), worth it to start?? - Gareth @ L7, continue to L9 - L10?? With its speed, will it be viable in Master/Champion tiers? Weapons: Plasma - currently: Taran - 2x L12, [1x L11 & 4th is L7 (plan on leveling this 2nd pair to L12)]? Mags - will have 1 pair @ L12, should I have 2nd? Molots & Punishers? I have a full set (light & med) of each at level 7. Which would you suggest to level first - I would think Punishers to L10 or L11? What are your thoughts on Zeus for a Carnage? Have one at L7. Reviewing overall plan: Bots: * 4-5 bots to take to L11 * 2 bots to L10 (Carnage & Fury) * ? on 2nd Galahad & Gareth with new meta. Weapons: * ? concerning Plasma * ? on Punishers & Molots * ? on Zeus Thanks for your thoughts and advice! SoCal |

I'm not a big fan of Molots, but I'm still gonna level them. My Treb Fury consistently does better, much better. Molots can be used against shield bots and hit their arms and legs sticking out. I think Molots will outperform for heavy bots. |

Are you leveling any Punishers? Did you get a Tempest? The more I think about increase in speed & damage I will pass on Aphid upgrades as well. Get 3 Primary bots to L11 (Lance, Galahad, db Griffin) Get set of Plasma = (2x Tarans & Mags) to L12 Then set of Punishers = level until something happens Keep saving Au, I can wait. Only might spend on 2nd Zeus for Carnage. Just cant seem to win one. |

My Punishers will be at 9 soon, in less than an hour and I will try them out. I upgraded my Molots based on advice on this forum, but I can't seem to make them work. They're at 9. Then I realized my 3x Treb was way better, even when it was 3x level 8 (currently at level 10). No, no Tempest. But I haven't spent any tokens yet. Around 900 tokens. It took me forever to make Aphids work. Even then, I consider it a fun toy for the most part. You know, fun to fling poo poo at your enemies. |
