What are the best cheap midrange options. By cheap I mean upgrade times.
e.g Bulwark avenger I consider it relatively cheap. Only Bulwark is expensive. Avengers are cheap.
tulu Bulg is cheap. Tulus are 12 days each and no need to level Bulg too high. Simply take advantage of weekly free premium from test server.
bulwark dragoon is expensive. All 3 are expensive.
I didn’t put Zeus as IMHO tulumbas and avengers are better options.
Tulumbas can be used at close range in emergency situations and avengers are great at close range as well.
Dragoons are obviously best midrange especially on Bulwark/falcon.
pls comment other builds and thoughts.

I am running triple Avenger Fury. To me that is the best budget midrange which can also grind alot of Silvers for me.

Avenger really isn't midrange. More like midrangeish.
Said that, Avenger Bulwark is quite ok.

Molot T
4.3 Damage increased by 10%
4.0 Economy Changes (July 5):
Total Upgrade Cost: 48,005,000 Ag?31,970,000 Ag
Total Upgrade Time: 12 days 21 hours 23 minutes?8 days 13 hours 35 minutes
That's the real BUDGET midrange you are looking for.
Hello from reddit, remember I disagree with your "Redeemer Taran is the best for Inq" ?

If you have old economy Tulumbas and a Spectre, go for it. Works great for me. I never leveled the Spectre above level 5, so I pilot him very carefully. The 4*MK1/12 Tulumbas are doing a great job and I'm having lots of success with it. It's the best combo for surprise attacks and if you're as good at aiming as I am, you'll get outstanding results.
About the Spectre: New economy Spectre is fine as you don't have to level him much in order to use it. Just pilot it very carefully and know every good spot on every map.

Hello from reddit, remember I disagree with your "Redeemer Taran is the best for Inq" ? I don’t really play midrange, but I find that my hangar isn’t really great for keeping a beacon advantage on yama and big maps. my brawlers were really only good for taking beacons. Nothing to do except hide underneath the enemy ramp. Molot/tempests are obviously better at midrange than avengers, but I like brawling and don’t want to sacrifice the firepower and close quarters. Whoah! They are cheap! Platforms? the moment I start being active on the reddit War Robots the redditors move to the forums lol. mercury only also came from reddit recently. |

Tried it. Mine is MK1/12. It's slow and I prefer the surprise jump attacks with my level 5 Spectre. Bulg works with Tulus, but results with Spectre are better, for me. |

Another vote for Avenger Fury. Reasonable build and upgrade prices, plus BRRRRRRRT!

You should qualify what you consider "cheap". Spectre, Falcon and Bulwark are not "cheap". Bulg is "cheap'ish" but will still take a while. Depends on your play style too. Do you want to be relatively safe or do you want to close the range at some point? Tridents are still ultra effective if used with patience and careful aim and will keep you out of most other weapon ranges. Dragoons are damned effective but I don't consider them cheap. Tulus are the best legacy silver weapon that will last you forever and a day. If you have any OE Tulus lying around, they are worth their weight in virtual gold.

I just recently got a tulu spec, and it is probably my favorite bot behind mercury.
I ran scourges on it with lockdown first and I like the tulus better. It's a legit rocket sniper. The splash on those things is ridiculous.

Spec is deffo the answer...
But since I hate using it... I chose Bulga Tulu. Protection from Energy MR but enough firepower to do the job. And, if played conservatively, staying power. Even post-nerf. Although, not as much as I would like.
Raven RDB isn't bad either once you get the hang of the jump characteristics... and the firepower is about the same as Bulga or Haechi Tulus. Hover might do OK, as well... better avoidance options but not as much damage output.
But yeah, the Sphincter Tulu is prolly tops out of your choices.
A Tempest Fury, Falcon, Bully, or Temp/Molot Natty may not be bad, either. If you are wanting MR performance, Temps still do better than Avengers.
Personally, I like the Avengers too much to take them out of my hangar, atm. If there was ever a mini gun fetish... I haz it.
IMO, YMMV

Dragoons are obviously best midrange especially on Bulwark/falcon. pls comment other builds and thoughts. Upgrade times are going to be a constant with upgrade costs. It depends on what old economy gear you have to work with. Anything old economy is affordable compared to most new economy. Do you have old econ scourges? A scourgasari is still really powerful as a mid ranger. The same can almost be said for a scourge haechi also. I sometimes run a punisher avenger inquiz; it's fairly strong, but I wouldn't start with a new economy inquisitor. I'd only look at that build if you've already got an old econ one. Another idea that I've had a lot of luck with is a dragoon carny. That thing can last an entire match with it's good ancile and rush ability to retreat. |

If you’re looking for midrange builds that are actually cheap, then consider:
- RDB Griffin
- Trident+Pin Natasha/Leo/Boa/Vityaz
- Trident+Tulumbas+Pin Golem
- Tulumbas Fujin
- Spydra Griffin
- Hydra Fujin
If you’ve been playing for a while, you probably have all these bots/weapons lying around. (All items were either silver or old WSP purchases.)
Zeus-based builds are good at midrange, but a bit more expensive.
Punishers are reasonable at mid-range, although they are obviously better up close. Punisher Griffin is a cheap close/midrange bot, and Punisher Galahad isn’t too expensive.
Golems are (or at least were) comparatively cheap to upgrade, making them a not-unreasonable platform (especially combined with corner-shooting capabilities).

Tulumbas/Pin Griff is dirt cheap.

I would count scourge in with feasible midrange and not as expensive as some other things to level up.

I dont understand the highlighted parts... 500 meters is the absolute maximum that avenger can fire and it's more effective closer up - where something like a tulu is just as good at 500m as at close range |

Cheap for me = only the bot is expensive. my stuff isn’t that high level and leveling anything to the same as other bot/weapons is fine. Ok, thanks for the clarification. In that case, out of the bots you listed, I'd go Tulu Spectre. I still prefer Orkan Spectre personally, cause I love that 1 salvo kill rush. But, if you want to run a Spectre as mid range and keep leveling up the Tulus diligently, you can get a similar feeling but at 500m. Another bot you should consider though, is the Raven. I run my Raven as a RDB because it cannot survive in the stealth meta as an ambush bot. But, as an RDB with the ability to drastically change battlezones in a blink of an eye, it's fantastic. For this role, it is better than both the Griffin and the Hover. More mobility than one and more firepower than the other. Stay at 500m and don't worry about rooting stealth bots. |

Dont have the upgrade times for the hover. But I'm using a tulu/pin hover now and reds find it very annoying. The buffed footspeed really lets you pop out of cover, squirt your load and run back in before most bots can react. Its got decen HP and can get to whatever angle you need to let your rockets hit. I've squared off with a few tulu specs as well and both speed and hp have helped me cheat death many times.
