My Silver III Steam account seems to win a lot of Boa's for some reason. I think I won my 5th yesterday and have sold them all except this one. Started wondering if anyone had any good combos out there. He seems like he's a Golem minus the light hardpoint. Thought about building a counter camper bot but I have a Gekko/Noricum Patton for that already (collecting dust). Thanks for any info!

1) Leadhose: Avenger/Punisher T
2) PDB: Redeemer/Taran
3) Shotgun: Thunder/Storm
For Silver III, 1 & 3 are easily achievable.
Boa has a large health pool so good for brawling so IMO high burst weapon is kinda waste on him.
When I was in Silver I ran shotgun. Can easily kill 2 to 3 if able to get close

I haven't tried it myself, but it seems like Exodus/Orkan would work well.
I did try Redeemer/Taran, and it wasn't too bad actually. I'm in Masters II.

I wrecked with Ember/Taran Boa to Diamond with my smurfaccount.

Thanks! I thought about the Avenger but not the Redeemer/Taran. That might be a real wrecking machine there. Exodus /Orkan sounds good too other than needing to be in orkan range to use it.

Boa! Fond memories!! I haven't used him since I was in low silver. He was my first bot that didn't have to run from a fight.

Thunder/Orkin does well most people ignore the toaster until it opens fire. By then its too late.

With the buff to Storm, Thunder/Storm is great. Storm is reasonably cheap to produce and upgrade. I ran a 7/7 in Silver into Gold. I replaced it with a Storm/Gust Gareth because I wanted a faster bot to close with.

Yeah, I used to wreck a lot of face with thunder/orkan. Do a search for brickfighting if you want to see a great way of using it effectively. Even with all the changes, it still packs a punch and is pretty easy on the pocketbook.

Redeemer Taran and dragoon shocktrain are probably the two best loadouts

I can confrim that Thunder / Scourge does indeed kick booty.
. . . given the chance I would try a Redeemer / Taran . . . sounds pretty nasty.

I can confirm both Thunder/Punisher T and Avenger/Punisher T work well.
Redeemer/Taran... hmmmm. I want to try it!

I don't know if it is good or not, but if I had a Corona I would load it up on the Medium slot and then throw the Exodus in the Heavy spot. Or maybe Ember... IDK... both do pretty well solo but are hard to use against faster bots.
Root, shoot, then scoot... it may be a pretty cool load-out.
IMO, YMMV

Go for the golem. BOA takes longer to upgrade and slightly more silver and the health pools are similar. AT MAX MKII level BOA has 40k more health...
The extra light weapon on the golem makes a huge difference. BOAs health pool doesnt make it nearly tanky enough to make up for the potential firepower of a light weapon.
Bot robots also are same speed at level 9

Bot robots also are same speed at level 9 Keep in mind the Boa has a much smaller hit box so against machine gun and shotgun fire it eats a lot less damage. Its smaller size also allows it to use cover that is usually only reserved for light bots. |

I wrecked with Ember/Taran Boa to Diamond with my smurfaccount. The George Foreman. Grill those reds nice and toasty. |
