5th slot makes you a lot more competitive than a Lancelot. 5th slot all day long.

The fifth slot enables you to play longer and acquire more battle points and possibly cap more beacons. More beacons could mean victory, which could mean bonus Au. Believe me, the fifth slot pays for itself. You won't regret your decision.

"Slots before bots" This is an old saying but stands true. With the 5th slot, you'll be able to last longer in battles and have a more diverse hanger. For instance, you could get a Stalker for beacons, etc. You will not regret getting the 5th slot.

Get the 5th slot. It gives you more options for every battle on any map and it will never lose value or become obsolete. And it's a one time purchase, after you have it, you never have to save for it again.

After the 5th slot, get a Fury the next time you get 5000 gold.

Level 9 onwards, Taran Ancilot starts to be a powerhouse, still. Upgrading it will take time, and despite it's durability mastering piloting it so you really can make most of it will also take time. You will rise slower in leagues if you get one instead of 5th slot. So you have to ask yourself, do you want to face enemy Ancilots (or whatever awaits a few league levels higher) in your current bots, or do you want to face your current level of opponents with a Lancelot/Ancilot?
So, assuming you are ok with slow heavy bots like Leo and Natasha at the moment, I recommend you get Lance first, Anicle next, and upgrade them (to level 9 minimum) while grinding for 5th slot.

The 5th slot will always be good, requires no additional investment, and can't be nerfed. You don't get that guarantee with the Fury or the Lancelot. With a bot, you'll still need to make additional Au investments. The Lancelot is best with a 1,500 Ancile while the Fury is only usable with about 7,500 Au of Zeus or Tempest. Also, there is no guarantee that the meta will be the same by the time you have it all leveled up and ready. Remember, it wasn't so long ago that both the Fury and Lancelot were facing extinction right before the dash bots hit live server.
My advice? Get that 5th slot and fill it with a Griffin.

I'll join in and echo the 5th slot chorus. Much better to have another whole bot to throw in the mix rather than an incremental increase over an existing bot (which is what the Lance would represent). You could outfit the Leo as a brawler or the Nat as a long-range specialist (there are equivalent Nat builds that virtually equal the popular Fury builds, so you would be way ahead getting the slot over a Fury).

1. I never owned a Lancelot so I didnt vote.
2. slot cannot be nerfed, for sure.
3. Pix buffed the effectiveness of rockets, machine guns and Thunder against Brit bots. The result is that Ancilelots become the only surviving Brit bot in TT. Will it stay competitive? Will there be a medium Ember upcoming? I'm not so sure.

I would get the 5th slot, simply because the Lancelot really needs an Ancile (another 1500 Au) to be really effective. As is, Lancelots get taken out by Orkans fairly quickly.

Oh yeh of little imagination. Respond to player requests for having extra bots to choose from per battle by reducing number of dropped bots 4. Reduce battle duration to 8 minutes. Start using hangar based MM, counting total power of hangar (more slots is more power). All of these would drastically reduce value of 5th slot. Unlikely to happen, but not impossible.

Sound like a new forum post game: apply a pixo nerf to the post above you... At the very least, it’s technically easier to nerf a bot or weapon than to nerf a slot - the difference between tweeking a number vs. changing architecture.

They can nerf whatever they want if they're determined. Problem is, this won't be generating profit. Adding a 6th slot that requires a monthly charge is more the Pix way.

5th should come now. I don't know that either the Lance or the Fury should be after though, check back with us after you get 5k Au again and see.

I agree, do get the 5th slot before anything else. Then work toward getting more orkans and an ancile if you want to get a lance. I still run 2 tarancilots (I have none of the new stuff) but I hardly run the Fury. In fact I've been running the tri-orkan fujin more as I've found them good for eliminating orkan Haechis. Plus, getting a fury is going to be a bigger investment.
But, really, after the 5th slot, who knows, Pix is releasing so much 「dookie」 recently that it's hard to keep up.

No reasons needed, it's common sense to have 5 bots to last longer in the field. But hey, it's your Au! If you wanna splurge your first 5k on a Lancelot by all means go ahead!

Also, lol, I just won a fury from a bronze chest by watching an ad - you can search my threads and find if I've gotten a lot more mileage from my Fury than my Lancelot. I've only dusted off my Lancelot for now because I needed a platform to use my brand spanking new Ember. I'll be upgrading a Golem to Mk2 to replace the Lancelot. Should take a couple of weeks.

5th slot all the way. IDK bout you, but i'd rather have another bot that helps me last longer than a more op bot that lasts as long as any other bot.

Fifth slot, it is THE upgrade that counts. You cannot win a slot from a chest spin.
