Coming up to (still) another big gold purchase.

For the current meta > Fury Trident
For the upcoming meta > Carnage/Fury Zeus
We dont know how long it will take for the new stuff to come, so take your risks.
A Fury is not a bad buy at all, since you just need to adapt his weapons if the meta change, the bot itself is the best support in the game, followed (Or tied) with Carnage in some other pilot's opinions.

Well what do you like about the Carnage? The Damage or the mobility?

If damage then go a Fury
If mobility then a pair of Zeus

Mobility I think.  

I am definitely leaning towards Zeus.  Which isn't to say that a fury won't appear at a future date.

Yea I know.

I mentioned when asking my clan-mates about it that the fury was the quicker easier option - even including saving 2000 more gold for it. 

Going to take weeks to get zeus up to the level of my current hanger.  

Opinion of single zeus / single trident being used while saving for second zeus? 

Honestly just by looking at your current hangar. I think you'd get bord in a fury or Zeus carney. I know I did.

You should buy aphids for your Griffs and possibly another set of orkans for a future thunder orkan Lance to complement your ancilot.

Most top hangars run 2 lances.

Your hangar for most fun would be :

Taran ancilot
Aphid db Griff
Aphid db griff
Plasmahad
Run your Gary for now but. By gold one hes too sqishy. So long term goal: buy 2 more orkans and level up a orkan thunder lance. Once Lance is leven 10/10 it'll be a brit bot ancil buster.

That's my take on it that's my advice. You do what ever the f#$k ya wanna do!

Peace

I have aphids on one griff and they work well (I just said DB for ease of posting).  I have 1 aphid for second griff - but waiting on rocket buff or not before I go ahead and level it or get second one.  Half the time I don't run it and put the orkans on the ancilot.

I'm in gold II android which is pretty close to gold 1 and the garath is currently my most fun bot to play.   I will be leveling to 10 though for a little less squishyness.

I will take your advice on board and think about it - but I don't think I will be doing either at this point.  The future may be different.

You are more or less the same as me, in hangar except I'm a little higher in some stuff and in Gold 1. I am just going to wait until I have everything I plan to use at Level 10 or slightly better because I want the (more) instant gratification of going up leagues and the substantial Au bonus for every league denomination past gold 3.

No one knows what is going on with the future so some might say spend it if you got it. My weakest bot is my midranger, he was so sad I removed it because with all the tankers I don't really care if I mech out, besides I know how to use cover and there usually seems to be 2 too many sniper bros when I'm around anyway. While I enjoy Tridents, and they certainly have their place I prefer every other style to the game more than sniper.

Right now though, Ancilots smash Gold League and so strangely enough do plasmahads as there are still plenty of Griffins, Stalkers, and some Rajins, Gepards, and occaisional Leos. People don't seem to be skilled enough to run Rhinos correctly so you dodge that bullet too, and to be honest you just need to flank a non-orkan rhino and you're all good there. What I have seen is that the top tier meta has finally come in a strange way to gold as the number of Tridents is MUCH less, so almost all the long range stuff can be blocked by a sturdy physical shield. So I guess a question is, do you want to maximize the short term or play for the long term...?

The other consideration is if you really want to go up as high as you can go or have fun. If you want to go all the way up you'll need to continue building your top hangar which probably doesn't include Gary (ever...sorry Gary Bros...he is amazing but look at the Legends league). IMO, Galahad will always have a spot as long as mid range splash is not gone completely insane. If TTs ever come back with a vengeance then maybe it's time to rethink things. Lancelot, well they already nerfed lancelot and they buffed at 1500Au defensive item to not suck, but honestly I can't reasonably see either of them getting nerfed in the near future. Well yeah there are alot in top tier but should 6500Au get you something??? With only 2 Tarans they also give you a pretty good amount of time to find an answer and/or run away. Griffins are awesome and cheap. Someone smart mentioned that the Dash bot might supplant them but only at very high levels because the Dash bot will almost certainly cost event currency. Fury is probably always going to be good...I mean 3 heavy hard points... Then there is Rhino, I love my Rhino I drive him around like a large boat making wide turns and charge into energy weapon fire like a honey badger, and then a DB hops over a wall and blows me up (quickly). I would love to see such a skill intensive bot provide more reward for excellent pilots, especially since it only costs WSP but with the continued focus on damage (and the rockets to get it done quickly) and the succeptability to pip squeaks running circles around you and picking you to pieces he just isn't for soloing much past gold league (my opinion). Now if you can run him with a team mate or two where they have splash, an ancile, thunders, or at least not suck and have situational awareness then a plasma rhino is way better since it can stand in front and tank for a little while, while your team mates dispatch the worst offender. SO after doing all that thinking "out loud" if I bought something now it would be another Lancelot and run him thunder/orkan, otherwise I would definitely wait.

Wohoo moody!  
Take the plunge!  I did & not looking back with my Fury!
Just signed the papaerwork yesterday & slapped on 8-9-10 level tridents.  I have 13 hrs before its level 7.  It walks (kinda) like its in sloww-modddde.  But it lays down the damage, & its squishy at L6.

We still have almost same hangers with extras!
*Same as you with excepts below
- My Gareth is only L7
- I own Rhino L9
- Carnage is L8

*My Lance & Galahad are L10
*2x Griffins are db & Stuka are L9
*Have 7 L10 weapons, rest are L9
 
After going back & forth & side-to-side,  when I hit $5k Au I dropped it on the Fury with out a 2nd thought.

What should not change anytime soon:
* Only bot with 3 heavy slots
* Tallest bot, has it uses
* Tridents are the 「dookie」 - they do the work at 600 paces!

I have 1 Zeus, will get a 2nd & try on my Carnage (maybe next Au purchase?).  If I like it maybe get 3rd to swap on Fury.

Cool cool just remember furys r just expensive Natasha lol I'm on android too almost to diamond and it's orkan n aphids everywhereally and every pilot knows how to nutralize fury whatevers. It's to he point my clan leader won't let us use furys cuz it's a wasterrible of a hangar slot. I'll leave you alone now.
