I am planning to get a rhino soon.I am in gold 3. So i see everyone having at least 1 workshop point robot and i have one. I just cant wait long enought to get the 2 tarans. So here is the question should I strip my Plasma Griffin and give the plasma to rhino or farm until i have enough tarans and buy rhino then?

Why get a Rhino for 15k, when you can get a Dash for under 100k?
Anyway, Rhino is a nice bot, but if you are planning to get Dashes or Inquisitors like ever, I would only spend WSP on Tarans (and maybe 2 Magnums). Rest would go towards whatever Dash bot I decided to get.
If you do want a Rhino, I'd go with Punishers, they work well with it, and having 1 set (put it on Rhino or Griffin, or the Ts on Rog or Lance) is nice diversity.

So here is the question should I strip my Plasma Griffin and give the plasma to rhino or farm until i have enough tarans and buy rhino then? I guess you are new to the game..so here is some advise griffin is best silver bot available atm which can go 1vs 1 against dashes too with skilled hands ( plasma grif- haiechi ,dB grif- bulg,rdb grif- kumiho)although it is too hard but if it’s 1vs 1 I believe griffin are best choice for knife fights specially plasma grif... Rhino is good but it requires a lot of skills to play properly..you can’t move side ways when sheild is up and when sheild is down your speed would be too slow..so I believe it won’t be much useful to you once you reach diamond however griffin is useful even in champ leaugue so for wsp save them for 2x tarans and 2x mags..once you have it then keep on saving wsp coz atm wsp bots aren’t much useful except carnage..later when you reach diamond 1 you can either spend wsp for buying any dash bots or good weap or buy any other stuff which you like ..although I’ll say save wp and buy haiechi offers  |

No endorsement for the rhino. Too squishy for the orkan filled meta. No evasion destroys the benefit of it's speed.
Get a griffin.

Griffin for sure maybe carnage but honestly ATM it seems like carnage is the only WSP robot that makes sense

Carnage's problem is 2 Thunders, and upgrade time and cost of the whole package. Just not worth it. Only sensible direct use for WSP is Tarans, and minimum number of Mags to go with them (probably 2 for a PDB Griffin/Rhino). A sniper person might justify getting Trebuchets, and a camper person might justify getting Hydras, but I wouldn't get either. All other WSP should go towards components (smartly!). |

"Squishy" Actually Squishy pops up in a lot of games to describe characters with small health pools or insufficient defenses to maintain reliable up time. And you're probably right hyderier was just saying if you're going to get a WSP bot Carnage is the best option imo. |

Rhino is not a must have, but isn't a bad bot neither, imho. Mine, dies ignominiously if launched like a ram against red hordes, but sometimes changes the tide if used as beacon capper in second half of the battles, happily running in the grasslands, far away from those bad poachers armed with rockets. Even better if, seeing it so far away, they think it won't become a menace. I suggest you to watch some tutorials to understand how it works, 'cause is quite different from other bots. Then decide. If you'll find still unsure, don't get it. Griffin shares the same weapon platform with a much better cost/benefits ratio.  Players more expert than me like Rhino in many setups, I personally hardly consider something different from Orkans as medium weapon. For plasma setup I'll pick Griffin. O O (2 cents!) |

Griffin and Tarans with Magnums = Plasma Death Button, will take down most (not all) with 1 full salvo then the Tarans have to reload takes 5 seconds. High level Mags often take the rest of the HP from the target while the Tarans are reloading.
Rhino has a steep learning curve, I have one but it's still low level and I haven't the time or patience to learn how to pilot it well because it just dies too easy. When I get my weapons to level 12 and my primary bots to at least level 9 maybe I'll dust it off and learn it.

Well i got a Rhino and i'm loving it, I also have a Carnage and yes they are really good too, at the same time I have a griffin too which i don't really use as it is way squishier than the Rhino plus i don't have its weapons leveled enough for my league.
Difference between the three is how you use them.
Try and capture the reds home beacon with a griffin or Carnage, unless the reds are simply not awake it ain't going to happen!
But with a Rhino ill take it 8 out of 10 times and with back up from a team mate it's yours for a awhile and can be a game changer.
The Rhino is a learning curve that will take several games to master plus the Rhino must be level 9 or above to be of any use as it is way to squishy and too slow.
if you need a good beacon capture Bot then the Rhino is your Bot.

Rhino vs Griffin = Jump vs Shield. Don’t know about lower league, but in Champions Leagues.... jump definitely a life saver more often than shield where many people using max or near max level Orkans. This is just my personal preference, I have seen some people doing great with Rhino, just not me.

Stalkers are perfectly serviceable all the way into diamond - chasing caps will help to keep league score suppressed |

You wanna know the amount of rhinos I've killed with my weakest Griff? Just say 350+ M away and rain tulus and pins on them. They just run in a straight line at you and are not fast enough to get close on almost every map. If they do get me then my DB Griff finishes them easily. |

Funny stuff Do you know how many Griffins i have killed with my Rhino? Just say 350+ Cool to know But not entirely sure how this helps to answer the posts question. Guess you just wanted to let us know you can kill a few Rhinos. Guess what so can I. Do you have a point? |

You were quoting your experience with rhinos, I was quoting mine.

i had my plasma griffin for nearly a month i have 8k workshop points.I saw rhino gameplay i know that it can turn very little in it's shielded state and that it cant use the medim point weapons.So i am not that new to the game.I guess stalker is a good bot but just not my style.AND DONT SAY EVEN ANYHTING ABOUT TREBUSCHETS.That weapon is just cheap and unfun to play against.So should i just stay with plasma griffin or give all the plasma to rhino.I still didnt buy the rhino

If this question gets even MORE controversial. I will just buy a rajiin for bacon defence with thunders or a carnage with the META Tempest Raijin in Bastion mode on open map it a good spot where it's hard to flank is pretty mean. Lots of HP against RDBs plus superior range, while physical shields protect against energy as well as ever (lot of snipers won't even try to destroy them, they rather shoot at targets which give them immediate damage). And the closer you get, the more those Tempest are an going to hurt. It just requires you to like that kind of playstyle. And it isn't cheap or easy to acquire. |
