Getting close to 450 Platinum.
Thought about an Arthur, to spawn in contested beacons. The blast wave looks like an effective way of capping/removing red cappers. Then guard duty.
Or wait for something down the line?

I kinda want all 3 of them, then keep the two I like best.....one in each hangar

Yup, hit 450 yesterday, but I’m still playing wait and see. It is fun killing Leeches w base level, stock Kid but the glacial speed is agonizing. I want a Titan ROG! I bet BB could go for one too.

I had initially decided to hold out for the Ao Ming, but after I received Arthur I'm contemplating leveling it. I like Arthur. It's pretty durable and I end up taking out a lot of bots and Titans with it. Even while still level 3 its pretty good. If I start getting taken out too easily I might decide to go ahead and level it. I'll keep holding out until either I have enough Pt for Ao Ming or the new offers or I can no longer survive more than 1-2 minutes in Arthur and I am sufficiently fond of lumbering about at 26? Kph.

Arthur is my favorite of the current three Titans. My plan is to get an Arthur on my Smurf account while I equip Kid on my main account with rockets. Or maybe vice versa.
I am very interested in comparing the Kid stove ability to Arthur's blastwave.

Ao Ming gives you a clear view of the battlefield and lets you get over some enemy cover by hitting enemies from the sky with infinite flight time (using 4 guns), fly over your cover instead of moving left and right, fly over obstacles instead of walking around them, self-heal, land for extra defence, hit an Arthur from high enough that your guns entirely bypass it's shield and directly hit it's head, and more...
It's not a slouch when it's flying, it's the only bot with infinite flight, and it lets you fly over the waters on Carrier too.
Also, the damage output from it's 4x machine guns: 2x Alpha Vengeances (with 75%+ Defence Mitigation) and 2x Beta Retaliators (with 50%+ Defence Mitigation) is very high.

For me...I would. No other Titan will have a shield that big.
The fact that the stomp knocks away those pesky Loki and Phantoms makes it worth it. So worth it.
But do expect a Healing Titan, spider Titan, jumping Titan, etc....so if none of those tickle your fancy.

I would go for the Ao Ming personally, but also I won't be for now. I'm convinced that these first gens are just a taste of whats to come next year, and I'll regret being an early adopter.

I'm getting one soon enough. I intend to put it in my long range hangar for more melee (tarancilot and cryork haeachi are the only melee bots in that hangar).
It's the slowest Titan but the shield should be powerful against lock Shottys.

He will have the ground speed of 34kph!....and possess the slowest slow motion jump in robotics history....and he shall be named....FRANCIS Just to stay true to my preference for maxing basic bots, I am actually spending my Pt on Kid, got him to lev 10 with his big gun to 10 also. It may turn out to be foolish or it may not, not really concerned tbh. I just like that I can hit a button and drop a stink bomb on everyone every 20 secs. or so

So I had an encounter with an Arthur. He was perched with weapons hanging over the trench (moon). Just kept pushing me back. Real pain in the ?bum-bum?. EventualIy I jumped my Thunder Falcon in and chopped him up.

I like the high position of the gun mounts on Arthur. Kid has his beta weapons blocked by walls half the time.

515 platinum and counting. I'll wait for the 2nd generation and if none of them are good enough, then Gen3. Two things you can count on from Pixonic is that they'll flood the game with new bots and that one of them will be an unholy OP s.o.b. When that day comes, I'll be ready.
Also, Kid seems more fun than the other titans now offered and it works fine so far unleveled. Toggling the resistance, trying to creep close enough to use Stove, being able to cornershoot - it's more dynamic gameplay. Just had a match where I tore up an Arthur and a couple of regular bots with it on Carrier with careful maneuvering. Which is the other thing, it's the fastest of the 3. The Arthur moved too slow to do anything but rely on it's shield. Might as well have been stuck in Bastion mode.

Nothing worse than spawning on Carrier or Springfield with all the mindless obstacles you have to sidestep in a 30kph bot.

I just did.
It's so fun.
I haven't had fun in this game in so long. Drop kicking bots is the best. I spent my.ulgrades on the stomp so unsure if they increased his strength but a level 29 Arthur is fun AF.

If you play BR 90% of your time then go for it. You won't regret. I bought them as my son want him badly.
remember, he only can push other lights bot flying (phantom, loki, etc) But medium to heavy bots, it just push them an inch.

I won an Arthur in the Forums Giveaway (my first prize ever in any War Robots related giveaway, wahoo!). So I’m sitting on 500+ Pt and was planning on saving until something faster comes along. But it might be a good idea to upgrade the Beta weapons, thinking that if there is a faster or jumping Titan in the future, it might not have an Alpha slot. Took it out once so far and that thing is crazy tanky but, sweet mother of all that is good and pure, it is slow AF.

Thinking I'm going to follow the same tried and true advice many share on this forum: Upgrade weapons before bots. Can always move the weapons to another Titan (another forum giveaway...please). Right now I see more value in the Vengeance so I dropped a little Pt on it, but will be conservative so I can still have a Pt horde should something else catch my eye in the future.

Yeah, I’m going to mix between 1 Ret and the Vengeance. Considering Pix overall MO of recycling ideas, maybe there is indeed a Gary Sr in our future, 1 Alpha, 1 Beta and at least 50% more speed than Arthur.

I am holding out and saving up. Just a matter of time before they release more Titans and you can guarantee they will have some that are OP compared to anything available now.

I love it when a good bot casts it's magic or other bots hide behind a wall when in that 100mtr range. Not today reds, feel the burn.

OMG. I just played a couple matches with my new Christmas Arthur (thank you Forum) and it did great on Carrier in dom. Yeah its Real Slow, but when it gets to a position behind or near cover it just owns that area of the battlefield. I got a couple kills and 3rd in damage on Carrier using my second string hangar bots with Arthur. It did more than half the damage I would estimate. That was in TDM though. It is so good, at least for now. It even capped our home beacon from a sneaky red that stole it. Its only been three matches but still I have no hesitation in recommending you get it.
Side note: I was holding out for Ao Ming, but now Im thinking of putting some pt into Arthur. Weapons first I guess, I like that the Vengeance is Always On.

If you still desire that Ao Ming, I'd advise not upgrading yet and saving up that 700 Platinum so you can get it (and Arthur already kicks *** at Level 3). Then see if you want to spend your upgrades on Arthur or Ao Ming. I play my Ao Ming as a brawler and it is currently my favourite bot in War Robots. As well as being a flying tank, it's a great skill bot which offers a lot of strategical advantage should players wish to leverage it's many abilities.
It can also tank / own the field when in walking mode too. I did a lot of that lately, and could last entire matches with a walking Ao Ming (all the Ao Juns are still a PITA).
That said, some seasoned players still prefer the Arthur, but at least after they have tried both. You can level weapons and swap them between them.
You can wait until Test Server to try Ao Ming and compare them to your Arthur.
