Have just reached 5000 gold through opening one of the superchests, and I can't decide what to spend it on... am torn between a Galahad, a Lancelot, or 5th hangar spot.
Currently in Gold 1 League and in my hangar I have a Lvl 7 Plasma Gareth, Lvl 6 RDB Griffin, Lvl 6 DB Griffin, and a Lvl 6 Leo with Ancile and Magnums.
I think i'd like to get a new bot as it's a bit more fun than just spending the gold on a hangar spot, but just not sure which to go with. Am keen to hear people's opinions.

I bought a Lancelot before the fifth slot. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone for that fifth slot. Otherwise, go for a Lance and let that hold you over until you save up another 5k for that fifth slot.

If you're not meching most matches go for the lance or maybe a rog and either level him up with the extra gold or a couple more orkans to 「fake pee place」 him. The rog will be more serviceable than the Gareth higher up.
I would say of you are meching out early then go for the slot.
My two copper pennies!

Pix can't nerf a slot. You won't regret it.

Only gold bot options are the lance and the frog. Forget the rest. Rog needs tarans or orks while the dress up party for the lance will be expensive and will need an ancile. Lets not even talk about the upgrade times required. But think about this….. which bot will you ditch if you get a new one and how much ahead will you be as a result. Secondly, why invest precious resources into gear that’s no longer optimal?
Get the 5th slot first and start saving towards that RM bot. Stay low in the leagues as long as possible and chase beacons for gold as a priority above damage. The value of the brit bots have significantly changed. Especially of the gareth and galahad.

If you don't already have at least 2 orkans than go for the 5th slot. pixonic can nerf any bot or weapon, but they can't nerf a slot

Always slots first and then bots. Go get that 5th slot, it will serve you better. Also, you are pretty late into the game to get a Galahad. They used to be incredible! My squad and I would easily overrun enemy base with a Galahad rush and they couldn't do anything about it, but it's the age of rockets now and a Galahad these days would be lucky if it can last more than 10 second upon encountering an enemy because everyone is carrying rockets these days. So, 5th slot first, and then get the lance. |

Well, the classic advice is weapons before bots, slots before bots.
Things have sort of changed though recently. It might be best to use that gold for haechi components.

I rather get a lancelot than a fury. I'm a brawler type and I rather be pushing for beacons and have teammates be able to rally next to this tank rather than sitting in one spot camping. That being said, one zeus/treb/tempest fury on the team would be enough to keep the enemy team in check and make them less aggressive by forcing them into cover, but all in all, I rather see more lancelots than furies. Sitting back ain't getting beacons captured, but one fury is enough to slow down enemy movement. |

You know 5k is only going to get him like 1500 components right? If he doesn't spend money on this game, it would take him a long time to save that amount again. It would suit him better to buy the 5th slot and be able to fight with 5 bots instead of 4. |

As most know I would always vote for a Rog but in your case I would get the 5th slot. 5 bot means you don’t mech out as fast, you do more damage( more silver). Longer games and more damage = greater opportunity to get gold faster for your next purchase.
Ps: secretly I want you to buy a Rog cuz it’s the most fun !!

I'm tempted to agree on the Haechi part, it would certainly improve his damage output, but I'm old school and believe you first need to learn how to drive the vintage bots before getting the "Best of the Best". |

Sitting back ain't getting beacons captured, but one fury is enough to slow down enemy movement. I like brawling too but run one tempest fury. Generally run 3 brawlers, one beacon guy and the fury. When I get my bulgie from the event the lance will be gone in preference to the bulgie. The fury will stay because armed with tempests its extremely valuable on several maps and I personally place more value on him than a lance considering my situation. Besides that its fun to snipe sometimes. Sort of enriches the gaming experience for me. But in essence, IMO if someone invests in a fury that’s a stayer in the hanger (but it has to be well equipped and probably wouldn’t be the first bot I’d concentrate on). A lance isn’t a stayer. Thus I don’t see a point for people investing into a lance. Personally, I would collect components for a dashie. While collecting components I would run a hanger to maximise gold income and level the weapons for the dashie. By the time the OP levels his lance he would be in possession of a bulgie or a haechi. And during that time if he saved currency (not spending it on the lance) he could probably near max it and its weapons (rushed upgrade). The way I see it is how much value the OP places on an interim solution while considering at the end of the cycle he could choose between a levelled haechi or a levelled lance. Personally I would take the haechi and its corresponding path. |

Unless someone has lots of gold stashed or willing to buy gold with RM s/he is better to concentrate on the WSP components. The marginal benefit of using gold to convert to WSPs diminishes after 188 gold per day. |

The haechi and bulg are like brute force bots. Don't need to rely much on skills to get high damage outputs on these bots. As for me, I used to be able to play competitively in champion league with a 4 slot hangar by making use of walls, kiting, and strife shooting to preserve my bots as much as faster while getting as much damage as I can in. Of course that changed with the arrival of the dash bots. Now 4 slot in champion is nothing lol but Pix gave me a welcome back bonus for me to buy my 5th slot so I'm all good now  |

I thought we were discussing the finer detail. 5th first and collect for dashi would be my approach without buying a lance or a fury. |

Have just reached 5000 gold through opening one of the superchests, and I can't decide what to spend it on... am torn between a Galahad, a Lancelot, or 5th hangar spot. Currently in Gold 1 League and in my hangar I have a Lvl 7 Plasma Gareth, Lvl 6 RDB Griffin, Lvl 6 DB Griffin, and a Lvl 6 Leo with Ancile and Magnums. I think i'd like to get a new bot as it's a bit more fun than just spending the gold on a hangar spot, but just not sure which to go with. Am keen to hear people's opinions. Its a no brainer, 5th slot. You'll be glad you did. |

Buy the 5th slot and farm until your finger bleed for a Bulgasari from coming Christmas event for your 5th bot. Problem solved. You can even get a Shocktrain, new bot (don’t know if it is good) + others on the way. Join a clan that mostly similar to your league and start squading for the win task.

I know it seems boring but if you have 5000 au right now get the 5th slot now.
You won't regret it in the long run.
