I like it boa! Nice hangar. For the future, maybe a Gareth and a Thunder Magnum Leo in place of the Carnage and the Fujin. Put the Tarans from the Fujin on the Punisher Griff. Pun Griff runs out of steam after Gold... |

Its actually a nice hangar, the only thing for me is the balance. Do you struggle on Canyon on SF a little bit?
Level your weapons as high as you can go and aim for level 9 bots to start with as this max's out their speed and is achievable without serious investments... Unfortunately the Rhino in the current meta, while currently usable will become not as useful in diamond so be aware of that. I would add a mid to long ranger for balance going forward. A tulu fujin could fill that role as personally find the plasma Fujin to fragile as a knife fighter.

Yeah my carnage hates SF and yamantau I already have a long range setup in my inventory(Natasha nashorn2x and gekko2x) it's not really that high level too |

Level up a Leo, it really has legs through diamond: Knife fighter: Thunder Magnum, Mid-range: Pins Zeus and Long-range: Gekko Treb/Nashorn/Kang Dae (Gekko & Treb aren't ideal 'cos you don't want to fire off your Treb too soon, it needs time to power up). If you really wanna get trendy you can stick an Ancile on him and he's tougher than an Ancilot. But a levelled up Leo is strong, when he comes out, somebody's gonna get hurt.

Out of curiosity how many leo's do you see in expert +?
In android you see a couple but not many, I wouldnt waste precious Ag upgrading personally, I would be aiming for my end hangar and conserving resources. However some people like to play around with different set ups, just if you do go in with your eyes wide open. Dont be fooled, gold isnt the premium currency, silver is and it shouldnt be wasted if your aim is to get a competitive hangar and move up though the tiers.

Tara Fuji has a low survival . You don't have the hp for short range combat . Might I recommend tulumbus or Molot Fuji . Stick them tarans on griffin.

Yes, agree with Thunderkiss about the Griff... in fact... the two bots that were recommended being replaced... the Griff Punisher and the Thunder Carn, are two of my best performers. Thun Carn is pretty good on SF and Yam too... just have to break it out at the right time and use it in more covered areas. It is not a Roam and Own bot. More of an Ambush and Push bot. On the city part of SF is where I have had some of my most memorable Thunder Carn battles... but I do know what works for me might not for someone else. I would rather see that Rhino or the Fujin be replaced than either of those two I mentioned above... personally. |

If you want to maximize your damage output, replace the Punisher Griffin with a Pin Tulumbas Griffin, replace the Aphids on the Griffin with Pinatas an the rest should be good. Save your gold for 2x Orkans for another Griffin and possibly the Dash.

Any suggested modifications for my current hangar? I'm pretty content with the Griffin. Natasha is less often used. Both the Leos, however, seem a bit off. I'm inclined on having a mid ranger and a close rage Leo. I have around 18k wp and 3.5mn silver, 60 gold.  |

All of this with the caveat that if you're going to run a carnage, be ready to die a lot until you figure it out. I don't run one so I don't offer it in suggestions. They ruin me from time to time, so they don't suck, you just really have to be better at piloting them than I am ? |

just bought my 5 slot I need guide please! For the OP, I would also say that you have a good group of bots, and have kept the ranges the same so great job! Lots of good advice on here already and I'll highlight the benefits of having at least 1 mid-range bot, thought I'll give my own take.
Stuka Griffen can be a beast. Keep it and learn to all the nuances of it and it can be a spectacular for you. Remember to soften up your final target with the aphids to the point you know your orkans will be able to finish him off. Use cover as much as possible. Also, it does suffer against ancilots because the aphids don't pack the punch of a set of piñatas to break through the ancile. Just things I've noted from my own experiences of running one.
The Carnage is in my current hanger and is one of my favorite bots. I love watching HUGE chunks of damage drop off of enemy as I rush them. Advice, upgrade the bot quickly, maybe even ahead of the thunders because you need every bit of his rush speed you can get to run it effectively. Additionally, Thunderkiss 's advice about dying a lot is true, but it will teach you to use cover.
I've run a Fujin before and with Tarans as well. It is too slow and too susceptible to energy to hold up well once you get into range to use the tarans. I would recommend making that your mid-range bot with either tulumbas or molots, whatever you preference would be. If pushed to pick between the two, I like the tulus right because of splash hitting hidden enemies. Making it midrange would also mean you don't have to upgrade it as fast to make it last longer in a close fight. Lastly, watch out for all those gekkos/trebs/zeuses.
Regarding your plasma rhino and punisher griffen, both should serve you well. The only suggestion I would make there would be to try switching the weapons between the platforms (Pun/rhino and PDB griff). When I run a PDB griff, my most useful tactic is to sidestep in and out of cover when my opponent isn't looking at me. That is more difficult with the slower rhino and if you are facing orkans, you will want the quick escape of the griffen more I think. Just a thought.
Good luck and great name! X METAL HORN X. It makes me think you have typecast yourself into always using a rhino though. lol

just bought my 5 slot I need guide please! I have to say I am biased for Griffins!! I run 3 in Main Hangar. When I am disecting hangars that have a good base (yours does!) I ask how do you want to play? Or what do you want each bot to do? (Function) If you dont like a proposed hangar, you probably won't make the change or play it very long... My experience, the Rhino, I never got the hang of piloting. My performance was very erratic and usually less than my other bots, along with being frustrating to pilot (I benched mine at L9). There are very few expert Rhino pilots, everyone else is is just faking it. If it is not a TOP performing bot for you, SWAP IT OUT! It will only become harder to pilot effectively. Carnage = W Thunders (I run it for fun!!). Performance is erratic. Carnage = W Tridents (mobile mid-range). Good support with high level Tridents. I think best use is with 2x Zeus, I plan on getting my 2nd Zeus in near future. Fujin, no experience. I could see it as good mid range w Tulumbas! With Tarans I feel you will get to close then destroyed in higher levels after you shield is gone. To many mid-range as you move up will take out your shield before you are able to engage. I think best use is mid-range, but do not see them often in upper tiers. Punisher Griffin, no experience. I do run rdb as my mid-range now and it works great! With coming update though the Punishers should only perform better so if you like it and it works - keep it! Leo - I used one in Gold going to Diamond as placholder for my Lancelot. I occasionally see some in Master + tiers, but they are rare. If you are wanting to rise through the tiers would not invest much upgrading, spend the Ag on other upgrades. As Vindictive999 pointed out, the real game currency is Ag! Anything above L9, the cost is very steep in time & currency. Dont waste it short term investments. SoCal |

SoCal Hi my first my play style is both hit and run and charge and I can adapt to almost every situation first experience with my rhino is I suck at using it but now I feel so comfortable with my rhino I think if I got to rank the whole robots I think my rhino will be on the top five. My carnage skills has been working I notice that Im always on a kill streak in close range cover map.now fujin I did swap out the tarans and switch tulumbas.punisher griffin has been working out I noticed that my enemies are getting melt if my punisher griff super close(300-1).I have two Leo(s) I don't use them very much since i don't really like the speed however I do like its durability hope this helps. |

What are your weapon levels mate? Not really that high mostly level 7 and 6 here If you have two tempests, swap the fujin out when you can pick up another Carnage and run tempests on it. Don't treat it as a ranged only bot. Sweet spot is from 375-700 meters depending on opposition. Stewpendous has some awesome tempest videos he posted yesterday that really show it's potential. If you don't, I'd swap the fujin out for a tulumbas/pin griffin. That's immediately a 6 bot with lvl 5 weapons so you aren't going to see a big drop off in effectiveness. The punisher Griff is pretty good, but I would personally tap the brakes a little on upgrading the light slot punishers - they're less future-proof than the medium slot variety. Not that they're bad - it's just that they won't have anywhere to go if rogotka, Dash bots, Inquisitor, or even a Lancelot are reasonably near in the future for you. I would level them up, but stop around 1-2 levels behind the medium hard point ones. This likely isn't an issue since you have the skeleton of a good hangar, just something to think about as you build muscle on it (weapon/bot levels.) |

just boght my 5 slot I need guide please! That's a pretty good and fun hangar. IMHO just level bots and weapons to a maximum of Level 8 for now and have fun trying different setups while you build silver and gold reserves. To go above Level 8 bots/weaps becomes a lot more expensive (you run out of hundreds of millions of silver pretty fast above Level 8) and you may find you need more gold weapons (Orks/Zeus) and bots (Lance/Dash) in order to thrive. Among the setups, I would concur with other posters here, try the Russian Griffin (Tulu/Pin), its a beast and a fun bot to play. |
