I finally decided to get myself a 3rd hangar, but i'm not quite sure what to put in it, so i'm looking for TDM builds of many kinds, long range, close range, whatever, what'cha got?
The picture of my hangars is slightly outdated, the only difference is that one of the Gekkos is a Spark now.
EDIT:
I updated my equipment log down in my signature with everything i currently have available, so that might be a good place to build from.

Well, to be honest, TDM in Champion is campfest. That's why Weyland is good bot for this mode.
Don't invest in long range, on big maps there are more obstacles and it's harder to hit + no one has any motivation to leave cover.
Shocktrain Spectre is good setup. Dragoon Bulwark may be another one. You may also use Spiral/Hydra/Chimera.

MR splash and weapons that can hit behind cover do well in TDM. My big map/TDM hangar isn't fully suited for either, but it does well in most cases.
I have:
Scourge Haechi
Tulu Bulg
DB Inky
Dragoon Fury
Chydra Falcon
Other builds that worked for me are:
Trident/Tulu Lancelot/Inky
Spydra
Aphex Hover (VERY situational)
Builds that I've seen other use to great effect are:
Tulu Spectre
Trident Fury
Dragoon Bulwark
Dragoon/Trident Carnage
Nori and Zenit builds
See the theme? You need burst weapons with good range, splash weapons and/or weapons that have a chance of hitting people behind cover. It's sad. We started putting these builds to use because of people hiding behind cover, and now, we literally HAVE to hug cover because if we move, we get zapped.

Spec Tulumbas is my favorite TDM bot. The splash damage is really nice with all the campers.

4 shock specs for damage and 1 ork spec or pursuer in case you get spawn raided
jk no but seriously. This is the hangar I would run.
Any hydra/spiral missile bot: Take it out when you see shocktrains about to wipe your team out.
A Flux Bot - Fury/Natasha prefer: flux does insane damage enough said. Bulwark would be impossible to kill with flux but you're so far away shielding rarely matter. Fury firepower wins.
Bulwark Dragoon - Bulwark is virtually unkillable at MR, making it more suitable to tank spirals while using dragoons. which makes it useful for TDM but for any other game mode, I'd rather run a fury for that firepower. TDM isn't about firepower it's unfortnately a chip away fest.
2 splash bots - preferably one MR and one brawler for example, ork spec (in case you get spawn raided) and RDB Raven/spec for those wall hugging shocktrains
One thing I would do is also run a scourge bot because it would act as a MR bot and a brawler. Scourgasari for example.
In smaller TDM maps like moon or dead city, having 4 MR/snipers wont cut it. But if one of those MR users was scourge it could double as a brawler plus an orkan bot for example. The versatility of the scourge is what makes it top tier In fact, I would run two scourge bots if I had more than 3 lol

I hear that healing restrictions were removed in a test server, did that ever reach live? |

no it's back to the normal cap at 80% of lost health can be healed back Dang, well i'm sure being a mobile ambulance behind brawlers would be useful. I'm thinking Ancile/Avenger. Tip: spawn Weyland first and shoot your teammates. Many people are unaware that there is healing bot in their team. |

I have 1 hangar and I'm not getting a second hangar until my first hangar is filled with Mk1 lvl12 bots and Mk2 lvl12 weapons... I'm not getting bogged down trying to upgrade two okay specialty hangars when I can have one great multipurpose hangar.
That's my opinion.

Homing missile builds such as Hydra Fujin or Spydra Griffin ect. Splash builds like RDB Griffin or Trident Fury/Natasha are good as well. Scourge or Punishers to stay outside of brawler range are useful too. It is not all about range. A good disposable spawn ambush bot is a good idea to use to drop on reds hanging out around blue spawn points.
I run an all AG bot/weapons 10/10 hangar in E3 Android and it performs much better in TDM than any other mode. Maybe it is the slow pace of the game play or the tanky nature of the high HP pool silver bots but it seems to work. HP, homing missiles, splash and range seem to be the ticket in TDM.

Don't waste your time with hydra/chimera builds in TDM
In BR spirals win games.

Small maps, I love Vortex Spectre Mine are max Mk2. That’s how fun and effective they’ve been, enough to invest. Best advice I could give is to stagger fire most of the time. Obviously there’s certain things like doing the full salvo to catch a Spectre before it jumps again or if target is going to get out of range soon. Otherwise, I find the stagger to be the most effective for landing most or all of the salvos, even when the target is a Kamiho |

One more vortex and I get to start this beloved annoyance of a build (*¬*) Mine are max Mk2. That’s how fun and effective they’ve been, enough to invest.

Ever since the aphid gepard meta, mobile aphid platformers have been my favorite setups because fun factor
I don't see myself waste money maxing anything else out, even for clan play. |
