3 fully maxed ghost lances with various ember/igniter/storm combos in android Champions League. Absolute monsters. Adrian recently did a video on these beasts in which he exclaimed: "Man this chubby is strong...HOLY CRAP!" I'll just say "That's what she said" before someone else does. I'll also point out that Adrian gets it right. These maxed ghost lances are powerful as all hell. They are the best kept secret in War Robots right now. There is hardly anyone running splash anymore which makes it even more monstrous. I run a lance with storm ancile and phase shift, fortifier modules, and ghost speed physical shield and armor skills. Best kept secret as a beacon runner bot. Catches a lot of people unaware with its speed and ability to get in your face. Then fight toe to toe with shottys and the speed demon who raced me to the beacon is left with nothing but regret. It’s Beastly Damn Skippy. That's exactly what I experience. My only concern is that these ghost lances will "catch on". Pixonic would not like that. I want them to stay under the radar to avoid the nerf hammer. I chased an mk2 Ares around cover on power plant for 3 rotations burning him the whole time with my right igniter. He finally turned and put up his shield. Big mistake. It felt really really good...not gonna lie.

Every now and again I will fill all five slots with my old Mk1 L12 legacy bots. Natty, Leo, Patton, Golum and Raijin. It's fun for awhile, but after an hour or so I replace one with a newer Bot every few games. I do like stomping around in the Natty with an Avenger / Punisher load out.

Then fight toe to toe with shottys and the speed demon who raced me to the beacon is left with nothing but regret. It’s Beastly Running similar but with freedom igniters. I ran the Ghost lance glory/storm for a while until recently when I got a T-Falc setup. Playing the T-falc was a bit novel at first, but becomes boring. Useful for team play I suppose. Back goes the lance, this time with Ancile and the igniters. At L10 Lance and 10/9 igniters (9-10 costs 32m! Ugh) , 10 ancile, L1 Fortifiers and PS it's a very fun and interesting way to play. It's not quite as tanky as the T-Falc, but that depends on what's hitting me. Sometimes the thing lasts for a surprisingly long time. Also just realized I had a skin for it that gives another 5% health buff. didn't know I had that, found out it was the premium Operations award at L13

I have a soft spot for my Raven. Currently running plasma. The recent buff really helps me pump out the damage.
Sometimes I fail miserably, other times I can get multiple kills. Lots of fun and reminds me of my all Griffin hangar.

This guy is a lot of fun. It is so small compared to the other bots and has no HP. It's like it is from a different video game.

Hmmm I like to run a halo/gust stalker. I can't afford a pursuer, but it is fun to harass Ares and AoJuns. I once almost managed to kill a max health Bulwark with vipers who was lvl 10, while i am lvl 4 lol. Brought him to 10% health in our 1v1, then he shot me.

I'm all non meta except for my Ao Jun, 1. My bully has had embers for a while, I can corner shoot and with the new Fortifier modules rebuild shield easily. My base health is 184k and aegis is nearly 170k. 2. Viper/Corona on the Fenrir has been an anti Leech and Ares build, focused on freezing and corroding. I switched between punishers and Coronas but decided I brawl too much not to have some burst DPS from Coronas. The viper at mk 1 11 is strong, it needs a buff. 3. DB Inquisitor is my new fave, the Exodus is only 10 and the nerfed orkans at 11 do ok, but the key is to play it like an OG Griffin. Peak and boom. Kyle Rogers regens the health and I can get 2 kills in low level Champions League. 4. DB Raven is my practice build before leech drops. I have Wonderworker and Road hog, which make it a fast DB build that can cover ground like woah. I started this tonight after 5.4 came out, will practice before iOS gets it... I usually play a scourge Spectre or AG too; occasionally a shotgun Spectre.

I run a Taser Hover in Champions League, and it is the only bot that has never left my hangar since is was released.
I whip it out to start the game on moon. And on other maps it is often my bot of last resort. I absolutely love wreaking havoc in this bot, which not too rarely turns into a wrampage- and godlike machine.
This bot is so much fun, I actually would need a Hover emoji to include into my rave posts.
?+?=? ?+?=?
Would I replace my Hover with a princess bot? Only in your dreams mate ?

I just got around to building my corona bulg. Bulg was my first component bot, and I just love the play style... It's so engaging. A monster when played correctly, and a free bag of silver when played poorly.
But damn, this corona bulg with shot grouping, road hog, and mechanic is a beast.
Since the Ares nerf, as soon as princess pops the shield, I show him mine right back then dash safely behind cover with little to no damage taken. As soon as the shield drops I dash back in and Ares is down in like 3 or 4 shots unless it's mk2. Mechanic heals up most of the damage I take.
I took out my spark scourge Ares and have not noticed any significant drop in damage if that tells you anything. Coronas are only @ 8 too.
My other all time favorite from back in my 6 pack days is the kang dae Fury. I have 3 leveled at 9 that I need to max out. Throw that thing in the range hangar for 「dookie」s and giggles. It does surprisingly well I'm champs, and that sound is heavenly.
Kang Bae all day ?

How about a Mercury with over 3k health? two ecu shields and a calamity. It is hilarious. It looks hilarious, and its really funny when people get confused (vortex, spiral, or hydra users) when they can't damage my mercury. Or, a Fenrir with two orkans and an avenger? BURST DAMAAAGGGEEE! orrr, a strider with Punishers and a Thunder? thats all I have to say here. Ok, my invader is going to be lockdown shotguns so that doesn't count XD

I run a lot of things... but right now here is the most non-meta build in my closest to Meta hangar:
And here is the Hangar I have been playing most, lately, which is mostly non-meta:
Other bots rotate in and out as the mood hits.

Lots of fun and reminds me of my all Griffin hangar. I'm still running an RDB Griffin with Road Hog and durability skills in Champs. Decent mobility & L12 weapons...it tends to be my first drop & some games I'm still playing it after half the clock elapses. I've also got a RDB Raven with Road Hog & Wonderworker that is a great high mobility bot; I'm leveling up a second one that will eventually get the weapons and pilot from the Griffin, at which point ol' Griff gets to retire.

I pull out the ole' shotty Mender at times. Kitted up with a maxed AC, Last Stand and HA module and a well levelled pilot it is still a beast. I can't make myself repurpose the pilot for a new bot, the Mender is just so fun to run at times. People seriously underestimate its tankiness.

Completely different bot especially with exos on the back because then you get a 1v1 specialist who can also tank 2/3 of what a T falc can. Just gotta learn the jump and fangs out, make sure you jump at an odd angle over everyones heads so they have trouble hitting you while you pelt them with the exos. I run viper on the front of mine but you could run glory, avenger, redeemer or even an ember!

Let's see...
Dragoon Carnage. Not currently in my Hangar as I tagged in a Tyr for Healing, but has always been one of my best Bots.
Ember/Scourge Inquisitor. Deadly if used carefully. Phase Shift gives it the ability to survive if caught off-guard by Ares or Ao Jun.
Exodus/Gust Strider. Is that Meta? Near-Meta?
Redeemer Bulwark. If it's not Meta it should be. Don't see Redeemers on Bully all that often, but it kicks serious 「bum-bum」 even at MkI with unlevelled Modules.
Pulsar/Marquess Hover. Non-Meta Bot with Meta weapons. Fantastic Raider and Capper. Couple times I pulled off over 1 Mill damage with ONLY Hover (typical good full-match damage for me).

I'm really starting to question what the current meta actually is. It can't be just two bots Ares and Ao Jun. I'd say it's Ao Jun, Ares, Phantom, Loki, Fenrir, and T-Falc for sure. Those seem like the deathclan hangar du jour, usually with multiples of Ao Jun or Ares. Double T-Falcs and Fenrirs also seems like a bit of a thing. There some bots that seem like they'd be the 2nd tier meta: Invader, Mercury, Blitz, Nemesis, Hellburner and Strider. Others I'm not sure about, might be more 3rd tier near-meta, but are popular and effective and are Mender, Bulwark, Spectre and Pursuer. I feel like Ao Guang and Hades are not even 3rd tier despite being dragon/god bots. Just my opinion of course. It seems like the beacon runner slot isn't really nailed down to any particular bot though Loki and Phantom are the latest toys. And mainly it does seem like the main meta is to double/triple up on AJs and Ares.

It seems like the beacon runner slot isn't really nailed down to any particular bot though Loki and Phantom are the latest toys. And mainly it does seem like the main meta is to double/triple up on AJs and Ares. On ios, it's still very very heavy ares hanger. Some games, its wall to wall purple shields. I think it's 4 metas at once now. You got the Ares meta. Then the Ao Jun meta. Then the Tank meta which includes the top3 plus many other ones now (Lancelot). Then what i dub the Trickster meta bots. These are Loki and Phantom. They like to cause chaos. They're fun, but very effective. They can win by beacons, or sneak up on ares and take them out, etc. I think the traditional roles still dictate the bots. So everyone has a beacon runner, and i see more and more now. I still see Kumihos, Bolts, Raven, the list goes on and on. The change in HP system means smart players are using one of the healing bots. Could be an old Mender, or lots of Tyr coming online. Even if they not effective, getting a free 400 HP every match is too good to pass up. I keep my Weyland for this reason, but it's not a great meta bot. So I think in champs, you don't see the mono hangers as much. Even second tier or third tier bots are good enough to use if they suit your playstyle or more fun to use. So a Pursuer, mercury, spectre, strider. They all see enough play. I think a better HP system will influence hangers more. Give points for assists, and for assisting beacon caps. Also, give points for Tanking and helping. Maybe a Support role too, so locking down or suppressing reds. Reducing firepower, etc. Only Support that is valued rn is the healer.

Probably would put that at the 2nd tier. I haven't been seeing many 4 Ares hangars in Android myself but maybe that's just me. It does feel like the one bot any Champ hangar these days is most likely to have is Ao Jun. Pilots and modules have definitely kept a lot of bots going strong in Champs, including all the ones I'm using. I just won an Ao Jun though, and gods help me will probably level and play it. Not terribly excited about it, but I could use one metamonster to anchor my hangar...

At least it's fun even when you get destroyed. Nothing beats punching above your weight. May I suggest Halo/Blaze. I'm going to be a bit sad when I drop it for next months hangar.
