Guys I need your help.I got 15k WSP and 2500 gold,and i dont know which way to go. Do I buy a Gallahad for gold and Taran and two magnums for WSP,or do I buy a Rhino for WSP and two orkans for gold. I need a shielded bot to capture/defend beacons and to deal with long rangers when necessary
My Hangar: Pdb Griff lvl 7/7 Rdb Griff lvl 7/7 Db Griff lvl 7/7 Leo Thunder 7/3xPinatas lvl7
I dont have a 5th slot,and I will not buy that now,I will buy that for RM in a few days.
I climbed up into gold I,and now its a different game,its very hard to get some gold out of the match,facing lvl 10 hangars and experert players,the difference is just too big,my skills cant compensate anymore,so any advice will be welcomed...
Thank you

Convert one Griff to PDB. Simple as that.
Better yet, stay with 4 slots and convert 1 Griff to Taran Ancilot. Because your lack of gold is caused by MM giving you superior blue teammates. And having 1 more slot will not help with that. But having a tank (or as much of a tank as this game currently has, ie. Ancilot) may help you wreck reds on games where MM makes you the most powerful blue (and in those games, 4 slots is typically enough).

That's actually a pretty solid gold Hangar. With fifth slot it you will be doing pretty well. The lifts and knocks of this game mean periods of getting your butt kicked is inevitable but it's not always bad. Check out the bots that are kicking your butt and the tactics they use to do it. You can learn a lot about what direction to take in this game by playing hard matches.
In gold you've only just started to scratch the surface of the tactics used, but your bots will all perform pretty well if you focus on being patient and playing in support of your team. I think you should ditch the knifer leo for something with some range (but not a camping, douchebag sniper) and create another PDB to round out your 5 slot hangar. Then start the push to 9/9 (weapons first) and you will start feeling a lot more comfortable.
Of you do want a new shiny bot get the Rhino. Galahad sadly has had his day. RIP. Rhino is a decent beacon runner but does have a learning curve to use well because it steers like a truck.
Just my 2c.

My personal choice in your situation would be to get a Rhino and 2xOrkans. Then for the light slots on the Rhino, use either Magnums or Pinatas, depending on your preferences.
The Rhino does have a steep learning curve, as mentioned above. But it’s more viable than a Galahad at the moment.

One more thing,when using rhinos shield,u can't strafe left and right,can't backpedal,but can you at least turn around while standing and shooting? How important is that gallahads better agility?
I'm gonna get that 5th slot and a lancelot next month for RM,so that's not the issue here.
Dash bots not for now,I have to see what will happen to this game first,200$ means to me,so I m not gonna give out that amount of money just like that.
Thanks guys
Oh and one more thing,I won 5000 components on the black market for that new Storm weapon,is it worth of pursuing?

Personally I'd go Carnage over Rhino for WSP, Gold I'd get Orkans and probably go double db Griff over the rdb griff until you get a Lancelot for thunder/ork Lancelot

I got Carnage first and fitted two Zeus over a fairly long period of time. The Zarnage is now 10 with 2 x Zeus and it can really dominate as a mid range hassle bot. Timing the Zeus well gives significant damage to jumping Griffs and dash bots. Just don't let any one get close - that's when you need rush ability.
Started using the Rhino later - hated it at first. Now I love it with 2 x level 10 orks and magnums. It's great as an initial beacon capper, ties up lots of enemies and the orks pack a huge punch to any non-ancile bot. Just don't expect to last the battle as it's a big fat close up weapon-magnet that everyone loves to kill.
Carny or Rhino are both good choices - just be willing to adapt and learn the bots positive and negatives.
You will love racing a red to a beacon to find it's your Rhino vs a red Gareth. Drop your shield and mutter "say hello to my leetle friends" as you fire your orkans!

I would say Rhino first. It is quite difficult to pilot, but a unique experience. Eventually you will buy Carnage anyway.

My advice leans towards the Zeus Carnage suggested above, but it doesn’t quite fit your stated need for a physical shield.
I love my Rhino and if you have the patience to learn it can serve your need well. Galahad is not the stud it used to be but it can still serve. However, if you plan on getting a Lance in a month that may be the best choice for a shield bot - and you might even bench the rhino/Gala once you get it, making it an unnecessary purchase. A Carnage gives you a little more flexibility and if you get 2 Zeus you’d have a MR energy bot to go along with the MR splash RDB. IMO having 2 solid Mid Rangers is very valuable in the middle leagues as you start to face opponents with much higher level gear than you. And Zeus is effective against Haechi - which you are likely to start seeing more of.

You can turn with shield up but it’s really slow - often better to drop, turn then raise again. Gala is more nimble and you can angle the shield, great for when running in an open space against Treb/Zeus/Scourge snipers (does not block shocktrain but Rhino shield does). Also Galas are good vs Taran Haechi as you can keep the shield between you and them. But your toast vs any splash. Rhino can usually absorb one RDB salvo if equally leveled, but falls to Orks quickly.

+1 on the Orkan Rhino. Gives you a good beacon capper that is also a decent brawler.

Thank you "its very hard to get some gold out of the match" Have you ever considered building a capping hanger? There is an event coming, and assuming that pix does not change anything from previous events (task based), then a stalker (or two) would go miles in helping you reap the rewards of free event items. Stalkers need to be fairly high level (level 8-9) and have decent weapons (level 8-9 pintas will work) to be effective. If you have to complete capping tasks then these are bots that will serve you to get through them more quickly. What are the advantages of running a more cap centric hanger? - Change your odds of getting gold.
- Halt or slow your league advancement.
- Faster matches (mech out on a loss or make it to the end for a win) -- and more bronze chests (and more gold and goodies to boot).
- Your going to want a capping hanger for capping tasks for the event.

Light beacon cappers simply have no longer a place in the game. You can/should carry one fast bot to grab 2 beacons at the start of the match, but this should be a Rhino or Rog because those can also defend/conquer a beacon.

I can state that as a fact because I do it every day I play War Robots. They work in BR as well as they do in Domination... you just have to be more aware in BR --

I couldnt finish Halloween event,because I didnt have a fast bot for beacons although my phone MB burned out too,so rhino could kill two flies at the same time,beacon capping and sniper hunting.Stalker,Carnage and Gareth are appealing to me too...

If you're ok with slow bots, then I would wait and get the Lancelot and start building an Ancilot. In your case, you're probably closer to getting a Tarancilot instead of the Orkcilot.

... This is not terrible advice. You need to understand that Stalkers aren't any good above diamond level.... but for the short term and events..... Definitely worth considering!

OP has a 7/7 Hangar and has only just hit gold, A stalker or two would serve him very well especially with the event around the corner! And Rhinos are woeful beacon attackers in BR, Just big sitting ducks waiting for someone to drop a DB the moment he gets within range of a red beacon. Both the Stalker and Rog have a defense against that, the Rhino doesn't. He's still an awesome choice for the start of BR matches though and what I was using for SZ, Yama, SF and Canyon as my first bot until I got a Kumi.

Open maps I agree are trickier, but on the medium and close then the Rog shines. And I have a fresh smile every time I take her out for a spin. Superb for flanking and causing havoc in the red back line, allowing fellow blues to control centre.
