I'm quickly accumulating gold, and I'm About half way to 5,000 Au. What should I buy, a 5th loadout slot or a Lancelot? Or should I invest it into something else?

Slots before bots. A Leo would serve you well in that 5th slot until you can get better bots.

Definitely get a 5th slot, that's the best thing you can get with your gold. It should be the number one priority for every new player.
After that, I would recommend buying some Orkans for 1200 gold.

slot 5, you don't need to spend gold on lancelots anymore.

Get the 5th slot and try harder with your chest. I have my Lance from chest pre-econ but it's collecting dust ATM.

slot 5, you don't need to spend gold on lancelots anymore. Absolutely. With a lucky (or unlucky depending on how you look at it) spin on the chests you will pick one up. Otherwise get it through WS 2.0 if you really want one. |

You can get it from wsp 2.0 and gold chests...
In fact they drop like pellets from a hamsters rear in gold chests

Unless you're in a hurry to go questing for Grails or slaying dragons, get the 5th slot. You'll be able to play less conservatively and get better returns in Ag,Au and Honor Points. Lancelot is a fun bot in lower leagues, but as many have already noted, you are pretty likely to win one from a chest. I bought one, after getting my fifth slot and a month later, I won one. I could've used the Au for Orkans or the Keg (Ancile) to put on his head.
Personally, I would rather spend Au on a bot or weapon than wait a week or more trying to build components. In my case it takes less time to farm Au by winning matches than waiting for the WS to complete components, which kind of negates the purpose of WS for most items.

It rhymes lol.
But, the 5th slot is very important.
I don't have it because I'm too lazy to save that much gold up. But I plan on getting it.

OK who voted Lancelot? It's NOT April 1. I got 4 Lance's sitting around. While more usable now there are still better options.

Slot number five is so much more valuable that any Bot.  |

The upgrade costs are so crazy these days, I'd recommend less slots and better bots.
It is less effective, yet more fun (higher level bots). When you are getting clubbed, it'll be over sooner.
Though, if you (for some unfathomable reason) want to rise in leagues, then definitely get the 5th slot. Just know that while it make you more powerful, it will not make the game more fun.

5th slot, you get to have more bots on the battlefield, which means more gold. And like others said, it is relatively common to get a Lancelot from the Gold chest, so just save up your keys for a lucky spin!

The “fifth” slot is irrelevant in many ways unless you have the right bots/weapons at the right levels. Whatever advantage you gain from having an extra bot will be wiped out by the MM-er. All of it! Say for instance you have 4 leos, you will level out say in gold 3. With 5 leos you will level out in Gold 1. You probably will earn similar amounts of silver but definitely wont earn more gold or keys or HPs….. After you have levelled out your upward drift will be almost fully dictated by the rate of equipment levelling and your win/loss will hover around 50% anyway (irrespective if you have 3,4 or 5 slots).
The next question is which is better, 2 leos or 1 pursuer. I’d take the pursuer hands down. Owning levelled metabots will take you further much faster and when you are nearing leagues filled with meta bots than the 5th slot is important if you want to progress up the leagues.. But it should be remembered that the lance is not a meta bot.
For now I would not spend my gold until 4.4 drops. Hold onto it because there could be changes and gold may have more value under 4.4 than it has now. This sort of stuff goes in cycles to some extent.
I think a lot of old timers would agree with the statement that patience is needed with this game. When it comes to gold my gut feeling is telling me that I need to be patient with its use ATM.

When i was in bronze, I quit, came back got 10k gold. The db grif and ancileot I got were such an amazing help, much better than another Leo or Patton etc. I say go for it, until you have a good bot to go in the fifth slot

Spank your Au on paintjobs... there is nothing in the game that gives you a better return
Woooo... time to put the lid back on the glue

I am using two lancelots in Master 1 at the moment, since the buff they are quite usable up top. However - they are easy to get without using gold. 5th slot always and forever!!
