I think the most threat is Thunder Carnage. I need to stop messing with them. Because plasma goes through its shield, I'm oftentimes coerced into closing in on them and they will wreck my shield. And a lot of the splinters goes through the shield when running sideways against them so it's hard to pull away. I'm going to take a page out of your playbook on this one. Just don't mess with them unless the environment is in your favor. Thunder Carnage's aren't a problem at range, but you need to stay back and use cover (map permitting). Some maps are better for hunting Carnage's than others, but I never shy away from taking on a Carnage unless I'm at less than 200 meters from one and there is no cover.

Garett definitely works on Diamond. I'm currently using it in Expert at level 9. In fact it worked wonderfully at level 8. I wonder about Master and up as I don't see Garett on their hangars. I guess I will find that out later when I get there. Nice guide. I particularly like the Fury match up. I take an opportunist approach to them, generally avoiding a confrontation. I use a Gareth on my secondary account. My main account doesn't have one, and it has the usual suspects (Galahads, Griffins, Fury, etc.) A long time ago, before I bought my Galahad on my 2nd account, the Gareth was a workhouse and much better than running a Griffin. I don't play on my spare account as much, so I have a much harder time using these exotic bots. My first match today was absolutely brutal even though I had a Plasma Galahad, DB Griffin, plus the Plasma Gareth. Since I've been playing a few months now, most of my competition are 2 levels above me in gear so even trying to take down a Griffin feels like I'm taking down a Leo. After the beatdown, I noticed the matchmaking Gods drop me down a notch, which was what the old gods used to do (after losing, the reds would be weaker). Next match, I get the same map, Dead City, and do much better (600K damage). Sometimes it's the competition and a little bit of luck that makes the difference. (My Galahad got triple teamed as I was waiting for a rocket bot to make a move on the left side, and my DB Griffin jumped in to flank and help a teammate but ending up engaging a Carnage Thunder) "Sometimes it's the competition and a little bit of luck that makes the difference." Amen to that. The Garreth does get lucky a lot -- too many times actually. A lot of times you are scrambling from an ensuing attack and you see a Zeus out of nowhere hitting your sideshield and you are not purposely trying to block anything. All sorts of stuff is hitting it, I think I've even seen a kitchen sink ?

ipwng0dz It is impressive hearing of an all Gary hanger in Diamond. Can you share some info on their levels and how you set them up? A hanger pic would be fantastic!

Yeah for sure: I'm currently battling to diamond 2 @ 2.6k cups.. so close.. It's the usually plasma setup on 3 of them and the other 2 are aphid orkans. I sure wish this thread existed when I first started though, there's tons of great info from the OP, kudos to him for potentially growing the Gareth tribe.

Sorry if this is already mentioned in the thread, I read only the opening post, but isn't Gareth's shield made of three pieces?
Could each piece break independently? Should be considered as a disadvantage when comparing it with Galahad?

Well done!

I know that it is generally known to be a characteristic of the Lance. But if you take a closer at Gareth in 3d view, his shield is also made of 3 pieces. It's easy to see..

Yes, but regardless of the 3D wireframe, the shield acts as one and is destroyed as one, not as parts. It's possible they planned then scrapped the idea with the Gareth, but during current game play the result is the same: one total damage value.

If played right, corona/halo Gareth is an Ares Killer. ;-)

Typically the pilots that run Gary in mid league and up know what their doing so I target them first given the opportunity.

It's a Necropost but Gareth/Galahad became somewhat viable with new weapons (and buffs) and definitely viable again with the pilots. Slap on some resistance, shield and speed boosts and you can reduce your chances of dying on the first dual or even triple orkan salvo that catches you and still hit back.
Quad orkan spectres though are another story...
