WHY IS THIS SO HARD. Every league point is a friggin battle. I have to claw it out of Pix's hands with Pinatas, Thunder and Tulumbas. I hit 4500 the 1st time around easily and then they threw 7000 cup hangars at me before I quit. It is extra hard this time around. Maybe I just got worse at this. It is hard because you are getting to the upper Masters leagues. The matchmaker will now fully expose your hanger to the best highest-leveled hangers with modules and boosts running and many times with all their clanmates on chat. If you just play as a random, you may discover that you will have very little impact on the overall outcome of many matches. I've heard the term "Chumpion" describe those who get from where you are now to the low 5000s as you feel like you got to the top only to realize you are now vastly outclassed. This is why many return to the upper Expert leagues since that point shields you from being matched with top wallet warriors. Nothing wrong with being up there fighting it out but I also do not blame those who are just looking for a fair fight drop a bit in the rankings. I'd love to see another league level where people with level 11-12 hangers can play without facing MK2 level 12 with all the boosters. Doubt that is going to happen though. Anyways, I'm rambling. Good luck on your experiment and get all your Ag stuff to MK2 level 12 to have a chance up there!

That's why you do not let them take you up to fast if you have to lose a few so be it there the ones pushing us up . and no it's not tanking when the MM is so one sided it's all about pixs getting that cash from us

I genuinely think the best league for silver bots is diamond. I seldom faced any tankers and my bits were effective. Since i came to expert my only effective bot is 1 mid range nat, else everything-else gets fried up really fast.

Any reason you haven't leveled some of the more challenging bots in the hangar to level 12? Or into mk2 domain? I didn't see anywhere in the thread where you limited yourself on level.
And it seems to me that the kang natasha is kind of wasting those molots. You have to come in and out of cover quite a bit with the kang dae playstyle. Maybe spirals, pins or noricums would be more useful. I feel your pain, the options are very limited, esp with the long range heavies combined with long range light and mediums in the silver category.
I like the doc in there. Nice that it's silver now. Another relatively good bot you're not using in the silver family is a fujin. Maybe a molot or punish fujin would be more useful than something you've got now.

I capped it level 10 to avoid dumping too much silver into the hangar. I may have to rethink that. I did it initially so I could use the silver for other builds but I have no interest in other builds now. I would like to run Noricums in the hangar. I put a Noricum Patton in for a while. I enjoy raining down the Noricum pain on little low HP 「dookie」s hiding behind walls waiting on a cooldown or the Fury poking its weapons over a wall thinking it is immune to damage. It is very satisfying but I struggle to hit anything with Noricums and the reload is too long for my poor aiming ability so I just don't do enough damage with them. I respect guys that can hit moving targets with Noricum. The Kange Dae Molot Natasha works well so far. Tempest Molot Natasha's and Tempest Furies have all but disappeared from the battlefield. The Dragoon and Trident builds I see now have a bad habit of standing around away from cover thinking they are safe and this allows me to stand around out in the open like an idiot as well and outrange them and do a decent amount of damage. If I don't destroy them then I can drive them into cover to leave my blues alone. My only concern is Trebs and Tempest which are a rare sight. It's actually a pretty decent build since the Kang Dae reload and range tweaks.

Here is the hanger currently. You need an Averger on the second Leo, and go energy build on the Boa. EDIT: You seem to be forgetting about the Gust, Go Gust on the first Leo...Pinata is under powered as compared. I would go further and say avenger on both leos. even if you don't think they'll work with pinatas it is better in every way than a thunder and reasonably cheap to upgrade.

Here is the hanger currently. How about if you pair up a Kang Dae and a Molot T on the Boa if you're going to give it some range? And if the soon-to-be released Avalanche turns out to he a silver weapon, why not pair it up with the Tulumbas?

There just isn't any silver builds for it that I liked. I run a Doc now as a speedy 1st drop to cap beacons and harass red beacon capers. It would be awesome if the Avalanche was a silver weapon but I highly doubt it. Even if it was I would feel bad running it in this hangar. I feel bad enough as it is running a Doc now that it is silver. That used to be a gold bot before it was the weird IP currency bot.

Then you can use the thunder on the Boa, it can close range faster than a Leo and increase damage at closer range.

Thunder + PunisherT is a reasonable silver loadout for a Boa, in my opinion. I had some fun using it in Gold Leagues. (I preferred the Orkan or Taran in the medium hardpoint, but they don’t fit your criteria.) I’m just not sure that the Tulumbas and Thunder fit together, due to the different damage types, and the Thunder needing to be up close to cause serious damage.

I use to run a Thunder Punisher Boa in Gold too. This was back when it was a little toaster that ran faster than it should. It was a tanky and speedy little knife fighter. The change in the model and reduction in speed was a huge nerf to the bot. I swear the hitbox was enlarged. I was hoping they would buff the speed but pix removed the bot from the game instead. I run a Leo a Griffin two Natashas and a Doc now that it is silver. The Gareth and Fujin are also silver bots now. I've thought about running a Punisher Fujin because I have never ran the Fujin and I have one with the gold skin. I never liked the clumsy crab walk and stationary sentry mode of the bot. With the horde of Ares out there you need a bot that can burst fire to get your damage in and return to cover quickly before getting locked down and retributed to death. I can't imagine the Fujin does well but maybe it can adapt.
