Got lots of gold now and looking for some advice on what to spend it on,the only two gold bots I don't have in my hanger are Gepard and Gareth,are these two viable in expert league or will I be wasting my gold,I know my Galahad suffers with rockets so I hardly play him now.I am also considering converting gold into influence points and getting a Doc but again how will he perform at my level as the IP/gold conversion seems rather high.Looking for advice from people who have these bots in their hangers before I spend.Thanks.

I would suppose it all depends on many things. Myself I quickly figured out that Tarans and Orkans along with shocktrain and scourge are the only weapons worth upgrading. Make sure to have 500 gold for each weapon saved to convert it to mk2. The only bots worth upgrading would be the ones that carry three medium weapons. Save 500 gold per to upgrade them also. I advise against buying the slot for 5 robots until you have 4 dash bots. Try to keep each bot alive for 2 1/2 mins will help you become more skilled. Also that 5th robot makes the repair costs higher. I also think a triple zues fury is still a worthwhile expenditure of gold.
Gold is currently best used buying workshop points to acquire componets with of the above mentioned bots/weapons.
I advise against upgrade of any light weapon past lv 9 as well as light bots or free to obtain bots.
Others may have better advise, but that is mine.

Doc is fun, I still run mine in champion league because I like it but it's certainly outclassed these days.
If you don't have a lancelot/ancile, thats the best route via gold for something viable higher up. (or using your gold to buy component deals)
If you don't have at least 6 orkans that's where I'd put my gold first. (assuming you have 5 slots)
Honestly I have no use for gold anymore since I have like 8 orkans, all the gold weapons I want, a lancelot (that I hate playing anyway...) so all of my gold stays sitting there in reserve for MK2 upgrades, or if I see a really killer gold -> component deal.
I refuse to use gold for speeding upgrades, I'm in no rush because I've fallen into that trap only to run out of silver. If I was in a hurry I'd just use ads for -20 mins.

I have more than enough gold weapons and all the bots except the ones listed above.Again looking at the conversion rate of component parts to gold it seems poor,500 gold for 480 tempest parts hardly fills me with excitement,will have spend all my gold long before i have enough to purchase a component weapon.No real answer so far so will just keep hoarding gold,maybe something new may arrive I can spend it on.

Still, it's the only way to get components, unless you shell out lots of RM. Buy WSP for gold every day (up to the 250 WSP for 45 gold offer) and the rate gets a lot better, even though it's limited to 118 gold a day, yielding 850 WSP. Gepard and Gary are not viable in any but very low leagues. Gary a bit longer than Gepard. Do you have all the Orkans and Zeus you need? |

Yes I have more than enough Orkans and Zeus which is why I was wondering what else gold was viable for now.Your comments are interesting about buying WSP though,think I will use gold for this to speed up component parts,anyone know whether it is better to spend it this way rather than forking out 500 gold a time for components ? |

It is more cost effective to convert your gold to WSP and buy those offers than to use it on gold offers. |

Here are some numbers so you can see why it's better to use your gold to buy WSP and use that to buy components. I buy the first 6 offers, it comes out to 118 gold for 850 WSP. So, the exchange rate is 1 gold for 7.2 WSP. Using Haechi components as an example: The gold deals range from 400-500 gold for 120 Haechi components plus something else. These same bundles usually run from 1300-1800 WSP. Converting these back to gold with the exchange rate from above, the deals range from 181-250 gold. Obviously, a much better deal. But don't go buying up all the gold offers, as the more WSP you buy, the lower your exchange rate gets. You want to stay above an exchange rate of 4, the deals actually become worse if you go lower. |

If you want Doc, wait to see if Royale comes back. It was significantly cheaper. I think I paid around 4000 Au. I like Doc. I have 2 Scourge and 2 Tulumbas. He is pretty squishy though. Gareth is still fun. I occasionally use it for tasks in Expert. It dies from rockets but so does almost everything. I never really got into Gepard. Maybe if you want a fast Gekko bot or something for the new Arbalast. No interest in components? |

If the gold is burning a hole in your pocket, get a Doc. I play him in Expert II and with leveled Orkans, he is plenty effective. You have to be very sneaky and allow the enemy to be distracted before you expose yourself. Corner peeking helps a lot.
Others like Tulus on him. You can almost fire Molots continuously if you like.
Make sure you level him up to the same as your other bots before you pass judgment. I thought he was kinda lame until he upgraded that last 2 or 3 levels.

Thanks RONIN1 these are the figures I was wanting to see posted,a clear run down of value for the gold,i think I will buy the first six offers every day like you do and see how well I get on with saving for components. |
