Hi guys, I saved up and got 5 slots, then foolishly bought the Lancelot. I find the bot almost unplayable as it seems to be a slow rocket magnet. I have around 3000 Gold, and 5000 WSP. Can the good folks here advise on what the best hangar loadout would be so I can improve my win ratio? What would be the best use of the gold that I have? Should I buy Zeus or buy Lancelot or buy more Orkans or buy a Rogatka? Choices choices.. My hangar is as below:  Your help will be appreciated.. |

Welcome to the forums. You have some good builds there. I would save your gold for now. Buy an ancile for your Lance and level it all to 9 or so. That will solve the rocket magnet issues... Pair it with orkans or preferably tarans.
Remove the cossak from the lineup. It's not helping you.
The Griff's are good for now, but focus on making a DB build with dual pinatas, or an aphid orkan Griff with two aphids. They play differently, so pick one and stay with it. I prefer pinatas to aphids personally.
Enjoy the climb!

I have kept the Cossack for beacon capturing. Would you recommend replacing the Cossack with any other beacon capturing bot?

You could do with a beacon capper now that event is coming up.
Cossack just can't hold its own in a shootout. Get a Rogatka with that gold.
But first what other bots and weapons u currently own?

Fast, fragile beacon cappers are useless when you progress through leagues because beacons have to be conquered and then defended. A Cossack can't do that. If you need a fast bot you may consider a Rogatka or a Rhino, but first I would buy an Ancile for your Lance and equip Tarans on it. Level it at least at L9 and learn how to play it, and you'll be pleased. |

Replace that Cossack with a rog or a rhino(rhino need the skill to maneuver), and you need an ancile for your lance you can earn one Ancile from Xmas event.Put two taran on your lance and your lance would be a star. |

Ok I just bought the ancile for the Lancelot and it has improved things A LOT!! Now Im saving up for a Rogatka or a Rhino so I can have a beacon capper.
I have a couple of Leos, and a couple of Natashas. I also have two Tridents, one Trebuchet, one Aphid, one Gekko, and one Storm weapon.

Get a Rog, save those WSPs for a pair of Tarans You don't really need a Rhino as any excess WSP can go towards components |

Wouldn't he be wiser to wait and see what the event rewards are? There might be a Gareth or better still a Rogatka as a reward.....
He could use his Cossack until we see what the rewards are.....
If there's nothing "free" THEN buy a Rogatka.
p.s. - is there a list of the event prizes yet?

Super advice. Probably better to save my points and Au until the event and then take a call. I already got 4 tarans, and put two on the Lance. Hes now a mean killer. Loving it!!

Hey crazyfrog, welcome! Maybe get an Orkan for that Cossack then and start leveling it up. Cossack with a Orkans isn't bad at all in Gold and you'll definitely use them later, either on a Rog or a Gareth. |

crazyfrog hello there. At this point in time do not worry about advancing in leagues. You have no obligations to do so. The most important thing right now is having fun when playing the game. No need in rushing it as the game's matchmaker might be frustrating laster on. Hoard the silver and gold and upgrade your bots and weapons. Keep in mind that bots' max speed is achieved at lvl 9. Most weapons start getting to be worth their while from lvl 9 onwards. Find the time to get another pin for your lvl 7 griffen or else, try to get another aphid for it. Always remember that the fun factor in any game is the most important. It should not be a chore. It should be relaxing a release valve for our pent up frustration and homocidal tendancies (but that could be just me)

The game definitely releases your homicidal tendencies!! |

If you're decent with a Cossack, then you will rock with the Rog. It's pricey though, and you might win one. I almost won a 4th Rog yesterday on the BM. Learn to pilot the Rog well, and it will be you most fun bot for a long time. For me, Orkan Rog works the best. Tarans are good, but I'm not overly fond of Tarans. I've almost got a second Storm, so I'll be giving a Storm Rog a try in about a week or so.

Consider a Hover to replace your Cossack. My level 9 Hover has 414k hp with two level 9 Ecu. It's a highly mobile flying tank and a very capable and fast beacon capper.
Vityaz should be equipped with a Thunder as others have pointed out already. That works a lot better with the Magnums. Thunder/2x Punisher can do a good amount of damage, too.
The Aphid from your Griffin could be put on the Hover in case you want to get one.

I started using my one Storm on a Gareth, just to see how it runs. It's at level 6, on it's way to level 7, and I'll stop upgrading it at 8. So far, I've noticed a few things. It does have a slightly faster firing rate than the Thunder, and the spread seems to be a lot closer, so theoretically, more lead will land on the target. To be honest, at this point, I don't really have very high hopes for this weapon, but I'll keep at it just for variety sakes. I'm currently running 2 Orkan Rogs and a Taran Rog, so I'm thinking of changing one of the Orkan Rogs to a Storm Rog. I'm working on a Hover via components. When I get it, I'll likely run DB Hover until I can get a pair of Shocktrains. |

Welcome! I'll just echo what Piginapoke said earlier. Think about having fun trying different builds. Moving up isnt all that its cracked up to be. Specially since it'll take you deep into P2W territory. I'll echo Koalabear that Rog is a good place to start for fun, as are Kumi and Jesse. Also. There's nothing more fun on moon map than making "boing-whoosh" sounds while playing a vortex rog.  |
