I just bought a Lance and converted him to Trancilot. After wiping out my gold reserves ive got nearly enough to get either an Orkan or Zues:
Current Bots: Trancilot: Bot 8 (upgrading to 9 atm) Ancile 7 Tarans 9/9 DB Griffin 7/8 PDB Rhino 8/9 Thunder Carn 9/9 Thunder Pinata Leo 6/5 (never play this unless last bot)
I want to ditch the Leo obviously. I really want a second DB set up so part of me wants the Orkans, but I don't have a mid range bot and Ive heard that Zeus is really effective against the Dash bots, so part of me thinks I should get the Zeus' and make a Zues Carnage. Thoughts?

Zeus Fury definitely one of the best mid range currently, but do you have Fury? Zeus need a lot of Ag and time to upgrade as well. Orkans very good too (for what bot?). If I am you, I will upgrade your 4 other bots and the weapons to 9/10 first, gather more resources in the meantime then make decisions.

It depends on how many dash bots you encounter.If you are facing a lot of dash bots, go for a pair of Zeus.But the Orkan is a good close combat weapon and dash bots are vulnerable when they are out of charge.

Punisher griffin or RDB for your midrange is cheap and effective.
Then you can get you 2nd set of orkans

Don't have a Fury, if I get Zues' they will go on a Carnage. If I get Orkans they will prolly go on a DB Rhino setup.... dash bots aren't on the horizon for me unfortunately. I could switch the Leo for a RDB for the time being.

One zeus does very little. Two zeus does ok. Three Zeus and you cooking with gas. The issue with zeus is they are the most expensive weapon in the game to upgrade (ancile ties with it). Worth it? Yes. Resource draining-extremely. I maxed a meta hanger before I did a zeus fury. An RDB is a much better option. Against dash RDB is a serious threat (I run 3 and I hate me some rdb-think rdb vs carnage to get an idea) You can never have enough orkans.

Yeah I think Ill save for another pair of Orkans before saving for Zues. Ive got a low level RDB Griffin setup and a low level molot Griffin, with some punishers laying around. The RDB just doesn't seem effective against anciles, is punisher Griff more effective than Molots?

Got any gekkos ? If you have 3 of em you can use zues with 3x gekko in leo..pretty decent for long maps not for short though..if you can buy just 1 Orkan then I’ll say max out a golem I.e mk2 golem lvl 12..requires around 9 days to upgrade em from lvl 1mk1...and use it with thunder,piñata ..believe me that beast can take out dB grif and Lancelot too..but I still prefer dB grif coz of its jump ..however as long as you don’t get sec Orkan that setup might work nicely...bet if you got 2x gekkos I’ll say save for 2x zues and use it with natty...it does almost same damage as fury little less..I don’t own a fury however with my lvl 10 zues and 11 gekko it is deadly and peep underestimate natty compared to fury sometime ..also can point out gekko to some snipers when they are annoying you which fury can’t

Zues carn and zues fury are both currently effective builds, but Orkans are always good. I would go Orkan, but I would not say someone suggesting Zues was wrong.

Double Zues set-ups are more effective. Zues/Gekko Natty for example.

The RDB just doesn't seem effective against anciles, is punisher Griff more effective than Molots? Agree with everything said above & have all the bots mentioned. I built Trident Carnage / Fury (back in the day), then rdb Griffin, then Zeus Carnage / Fury. I would agree on using rdb & gettin 2nd set of Orkans. It is a big resource drain to build up 2x or 3x Zeus. They do lay down serious damage in the end and start becoming real effective around L10 in pairs+. I liked running the Zeus Carnage while I built the 3rd Zeus, it can still do good damage and with the mobility can fire in range & get back out very effectively. I am just now finishing last 2 Zeus to L12 (I think 31M Ag each). Then I need to figure what I am going to do? SoCal

Double Zues set-ups are more effective. Zues/Gekko Natty for example. I have tried zues carnage and zues gekko natty ..as long as there are not many snipers I find my natty to do more damage even if it don’t have shield like carnage..and 2x gekko does the damage..I didn’t thought they did too till I changed my lvl 11 to both lvl 9 which I have extra and used those lvl 11 with grif scrouge ,however I tried it for many matches and yup my damage lowered..not by a lot but usually I do 550-650k damage and it lowered to 500-550k...also before I had two zues I was using zues with 3x gekkos and coz of that beast I got my max damage 1.27 mil in canyon although ik zues are one of the best weap there..but gekko does some damage too just have to look out for snipers

Guys, it's "Zeus." Really. And "tarancilot." Although that one is neither official nor the name of a Greek God, so you get some leeway.
In b4 "orkin."
