I run it with a Natasha and an Ancile. Works pretty well until a DB shows up.  |

Leo has health to brawl and that setup will be a nightmare up close. I'm on my way to the third Gust and can't wait to test it.

Don't just hit the red button. Quickly fire two Gusts seperately and then hit the red button. With the right timing you get a serious firing rate...the ultimate intimidating factor. Taking down an Ancile like this at 500m is an impressive sight for everyone.
...just in case you really want to show off with your Leo...

Taking down an Ancile like this at 500m is an impressive sight for everyone. ...just in case you really want to show off with your Leo... I may confirm that. Though I'm running Golem with Thunder Storm Gust which is easier to equip but a half Thunder less powerful than Thunder Gust Leo, taking down Anciles is marvelous. As Thunder has 1 rps, Storm 1.4 rps and Gust 2 rps, I don't even have to set the timing of weps to have the cascade effect. Had a marvelous battle in Springfield with Golem. Moving around the bridge in the town area, I was either ambushing reds coming for their beacon or crushing Ancilots, Carnys and even Fujins down in the valley or at shielded beacon. Easy job for my teammates then. |

Generally. Any all shotgun build is gonna hurt in a knife fight. And do note
The gust and storm are slated to receive a 10% damage buff.
Jist kicked off with a thunder-storm-punisher golem and its an AMAZING in your face flanker. Anything with ancile? Have the thundet and storm chip it down for team mates to waste it. Badly maimed team of reds around a corner? Corner shoot with either the thunder and storm (ended up killing 3 reds this way while they were falling back from a failed beacon capture attempt) or chip em down with the punisher from afar. Particularly.once its starting to run low on ammo. And from experience with an all punisher griffin.... punishers to the face hurt. A LOT

Kind of late to the party with this response, but I slapped together my Thunder/Gust Leo just a few days ago. Gotta say, it's hella fun to use! One strategy I learned very quickly is used during TDM play. Use a damaged bot to lure multiple opponents close to your spawning location. If done right, they will walk through and past your spawn location just a bit. Go down swinging with your damaged bot, then respawn with Thunder/Gust Leo within 100 meters or less. The massive destruction you do in the next 10-20 seconds is hilarious.

I seriously want to try this but I only have 1 gust. I don't know if I was just lucky or what, but Gust components seem to be one of the most common components to get from the Black Market spins. I got two that way and the third was won from a chest. |

Proceed to use the golem and waste most if not all the enemy party that just rushed my crippled bot |

The Thunder/Gust Leo seems like it would be brilliant for ambushes. Especially with Beacon Rush, or TDM spawnpoints. I hadn’t really considered it before, but it seems like it could be an utter nightmare to walk around a corner and come face to face with one.
I haven’t even got a single Gust yet though, so it’s a long way off for me.

O can conform this as ai and 2 fellow blues were on the receiving end of a thuder gust leo AND thunder-storm-gust golem dropping on us as we tried to cap 1 beacon... our 3 maimed bots did NOT last long |

Great for ambushing in br mod specially in lower leaugues. Now if by any chance those gust are mk2 I wouldn’t like to face it up close even with my ork haeichi.

On paper the shotgun Leo looks good, but in BR it does worse than dropping in with a PDB or DB setup - unless we are talking about Diamond and under league. This is simply a matter of DPS, as the drop in engagement distances in BR vary greatly and the red has the initial shot in you when you drop in (only in the lower ranks will pilots be completely by a drop in in BR). Heck, I'm fully loaded and waiting for a red drop in when I assualt a beacon in BR --- if I see a Shotgun Leo drop in, that's a free kill for me since all my assault bot have higher DPS. Mk2 is the least effective on the bullet/pellet weapons, because the knifer Splash/Energy weapons at Mk2 have dropped their kills times to 2-5 seconds (while bullets/pellet weapons are in the 8-10 second zone - even at Mk2). So if you don't have those 8 seconds to unload without counterfire, there's little chance you'll survive an encounter with a tri or quad Mk2 DB/PDB setup. |

gust/thunder leo is amazing, mine took out a bulgasari with full health while getting shot by 2 other people. Great for taking out energy shields so that teammates with explosive weapons can go straight for hp of an opponents.

If leo got a small buff by upgrading one light weapon to medium, if would be insane. Golem on crack

Gust Avenger Leo would be more amazing...
...unless this preported Thunder Buff actually does materialize.
Thunder is one of the under-balanced weapons compared to it's peers in the whole game. Gust is a monster in light, Storm is a very respectible performer in medium, Thunder is simply not as good as Avenger. in DPS or ranged attacks... and it is outclassed by Glory too... but you get root with Glory.
