Bulgasari builds

I had seen a Shocktrain bulg during the event and he was killing everyone. A full health fujin was worth 2 shots only from the bulg. Don't know the level of bulg/shktrain cause I was on the cap task so got killed before the results.

The bulgasari imo is better than the haechi since it can dodge rockets and has a shield for plasma and bullets its not as fast tho. From what I seen a Taran build is the best one since so many ancile shields are around, but I want to see a storm build, probably can do some great damage in a short period of time.

Punisher build might be a good build to try since there are a lot of bullet weapons out there now and they're ok to me but judging from other forum members it might not be a bad to at least try it.

When I get my Bulgasari, I will put 2 shocktrains on it and not sure about the 3rd weapon yet.

I have three Tulus on my budget Bulgasari. Works great.

My Bulg is running level 8 Orkans and it does quite well. It was feeling the pinch in D2 at the start of the event, but now that I've fallen down to D3 and only my way to Gold, it's doing better. I have 2 Storms and on my way to a third. once I have 3 level 8 Storms, I'll slap them on the Bulg and see how it goes.

I actually disagree.
Scourge is much better, and with the buff, I'm using 2 because that's all i got. I'd ideally want three, so you can pivot the body against the enemy.
Tri tarans make you expose your front while firing, and timing is difficult to make sure you are taking hits, and then pivoting and firing with your three tarans.

I got the same doubts here. I hope to get the event's Bulgasari, along with the two wintrains, and to endure the mindless grinding I keep fantasizing about how to adequately dress it.

My initial thoughts were to get a third taran and convert my PDB into a full taran bulgasari, and leave the wintrains to gather dust as I hate that weapon (as I did with the scourges). I was really disappointed by Pix handing out shocktrains in the event. Not only because I never had any interest on those, but also because the only good thing about them for me was their rarity.

But then, I got substantial wintrain components in a gold chest last weekend. So know I think I could focus my purchases of offers in wintrain components and eventually, if I finish the event, replace my zeus carnage by the Bulgasari full wintrain… the dark side is calling…

Decisions, decisions, decisions…

Scourge is an ineffective weapon in general.  It requires too long to take down a target and does far to little damage against anything shielded.  
Using Bulgasari as a range bot is a total waste of a tank, much like a range build for a lance.  
At least in iOS champ league, scourge bulgasari is very easy to avoid and while you sit out somewhere hoping to do something, your team loses.  

I've run a Bulgasari, since they were first available. They're solid brawlers. While I like them with Tarans they lose their ability to hunt Ancilots with them. Orkans are my current go to choice. Scourges are great on Bulgasari due to being able to use the shield while firing, but I still prefer the speed of the DB build. With this in mind my next build will be a Storm Bulgasari. I like to get close and they sit high enough to fire over shields at PB range.

Don't know why this opinion is so prevalent - with Tarans you can *easily* kill ancilots. In extreme-close range an ancilot lasts all of 6 seconds and do half damage vs a Taran bulga since the bulga shield blocks one ancile taran and ancile shield blocks nothing in that range.

It was budget for me: I got it through one of Dredd’s MechSpectrum giveaways. You’re right, though. It’s not a gold or silver mech.

I’m not going for Shocktrain as a matter of principle. I had Tulus reasonably well leveled. I tried Punishers but didn’t like the time on target. Tulus seem like a good way to go.

Really man, is that why I murder tons of robots with Scourge or the Tempest Molot Lance? Triple Scourge is deadly when you select the appropriate targets and close range. It’s great for the range, but even more stunning when used carefully at brawling ranges, especially after the recent buff. But, I do agree that Tarans is the best build I’ve found so far.

I literally can't visualize this. So at 350m your Bulg can tear into a Ancillot and take damage from only one of their Tarans? How?

I tried it with my bulg..although unless you get inside the bubble it is not possible..I tried it from outside too but most of the times the ancilot hit me..so if I had to go inside a bubble to kill it with tarans I’ll prefer orks instead coz it’s like one shot kill ..although I did tried tarans on it and works damn nicely..I couldn’t take out a ancilot with my Plasma Griffin with 10/10 weap and lvl7 grif unless the lance was lvl 8 or below lvl8 but with same weap and lvl 5 bulg I can take out a tarancilot while taking very less damage and extra 50 range helps out a lot to take out a haiechi which a ork bulg mostly can’t
