Hi Pilots,
I need some advince. I'm currently playing Beacon Rushes (my preferred mode but would like to try out others soon) around Diamond III rank.
I feel like my Taran Bulg is underperforming although I spot a fair amount of them in hangars at far higher ranks. Maybe I play it too aggressively? It seems too vulnerable for me and I don't feel like I can get the amount of damage in that I want before I get killed.
I'd also like a bit of advice on where to prioritize my upgrades. I'm a bit lost in that field.
This is my current hangar - general advice and other reflections are very much appreciated:
Pursuer 5 - 8/7/7 Gusts
Fury 7 - 8/8/8 Zeus
Raijin 7 - 8/8 Avenger
Leo 7 - 8 Thunder, 7/7 Magnum, 5 Shredder
Bulgasari 5 - 7/7/7 Taran
Spare robots include:
7 Carnage, 6 Leo, 1 Raijin, 1 Fujin, 1 Patton, 1 Doc, 7/7 Griffin, 6/6 Natasha, 1 Gareth, 1 Stalker..
Spare weapons include:
4/4 Avenger, 5/5 Trident + silver heavy weapons, 6/6/6/6/5 Orkan, 1 Storm + silver medium weapons, 5/5/5/5 Gekko, 5/5/5 Aphid, 3/4 Magnum + silver light weapons..
Currently I am contemplating leveling my 2 spare Avengers and put them on Carnage to replace Taran Bulg. Not sure this is wise though, and that's what I need advice for. Also I have around 20mil AG and 3k AU, so limited funds. Consider grinding for Spectre as next bot for my Orkans. But could also use suggestions here. I have around 3k Spectre parts and 2k Bulwark parts. Other than those I'm not close to any new bots.
Thanks to all of you that contribute, and happy holidays when you get around to them!

Fury is practically useless in BR, yank it, replace with dual Avenger/Carnage, this will also increase your overall hanger speed. Bulgasari is a beast bot, but it is also slow, that is why close range isn't too good on them. With your current weapons count I would Tulumba or Punisher it. You will have to make a decision on weather to keep the Raijin or place the Terrans on the Fujin, either way these two bots are basically beacon "savers", not "rushers" dropped directly on the beacon while contested. This is just personal, but I prefer the Griffon over the Leo in BR unless you have an Ancile on the Leo, due to the fact mobility is better on Griffon when trying to capture beacons.

Some great analysis. Thanks a lot! I see your point with Fury. Which modes do it fit in? Domination? Should I then consider the Zeus on Carnage or still do Avengers? If I move Avengers from Raijin, which I must admit I like, onto Carnage then I can move Tarans to Fujin and then put Tulumbas on Bulg. I see how this is perhaps desirable in order to out some distance between myself and the enemy. I'm not sure I'm convinced on Fujin, but this is a great excuse for me to level it a bit and at least give it a shot. Thanks again! |

The Raijin & Fujin serve the same purpose, they "hold" contested beacons in BR. The preference is yours to choose which does it better with your play style. I only suggested it because you bothered to level the Terrans. If it can drop more damage than the Leo, swap em out. Just do some testing, then continue with what works best for you. Things will change as you acquire more bots/weapons, constant testing of setups for different bot & weapon combos for different game modes will maximize your play.
Zues Carnage is more a TDM sniper, the Avengers do better as you close in on beacons. Also, you do have 4, so there is no loss. Just beware energy builds with the Carnage and you will do fine. Good Luck!
Edit: Sorry, just noticed the Fury question. Fury does well in TDM, and support-fire/cover-fire well on Dom. If used in BR, it's best to not spawn in on a contested beacon. Spawn on a side beacon to snipe "said" beacon, but speed is more preferable over the Fury in BR.

Spawn on a side beacon to snipe "said" beacon, but speed is more preferable over the Fury in BR. Basically the way I played my Fury. But I realise that's it's probably a "win more" build in BR since you can only really use it when your team is ahead. I suspect Raijin Avenger will suit me better than Fujin Taran, but I also would like to play something else than machine guns. With respects to Carnage Avenger and Bulg with Punishers should I decide for that build over Tulumbas. So I will upgrade my Fujin and take it for a crab walk. But I will miss the beefiness of Raijin I think. It just swallows damage compared to Fujin. I get your point with Carnage Zeus vs. Avenger. In regards to the TDM/Dom. explanation you gave me about Fury. Thumbs up! I like to try out new builds but are always a bit reluctant to level stuff too much. It costs valuable resources when it doesn't work out. And seeing that I know have to level bots to 7 and weapons to 8/9 in order to test them eats away at my silver. Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm looking forward to taking the new builds for a spin - especially trying out leadhose Bulg which I didn't even realised could be a build to consider. |
