I have enough wsp saved up to buy a new bot but I am not sure which would be better for me. I'm stuck between a Rhino, Fujin or Raj. From what I have read I don't think I would much care for the Carnage. Thanks much for any help, I just do not want to make a mistake with how long it takes to get wsp. Edit - I also have a thunder/pinata Leo but I do not much care for it. I replaced it with the thunder/pin nat, I fire then pins at range to soften and then rely on the thunders. Attachment Deleted

You don't have to buy, anything. But if you feel you must, why does it have to be a Mecha, why not a weapon?
I've planned my Hangar and load outs so, I will only use certain Mecha, unless a new one comes out that interests me but I don't see a need for owning all of them or multiple(s) of the same type.
.. just me

I'm not big on spending cash so the gold will just have to build up. If you think a wsp weapon set up might benefit me more I am fine with that, I just thought a new bot would be fun. I know I do not have anything long range but with all the hate I have read I have tried to stay away from them.

If you don't already have 4 mags and 3-4 tarans, those will be your best value.

I regularly engage Fujin, Rajin as well as Rhinos and my Mecha are 4/2/2 <--- only a three car garage, right now.
It's not the Mecha, they're fairly balanced, it's the Pilot. You just haven't found a Mecha that suits you, yet.

You just haven't found a Mecha that suits you, yet. I love my Griffs, the ability to jump away after unloading or jumping straight up and unloading behind cover is great. Unless I decide to go kamakaze for the hell of it I rarely get a chance to play more than two bots before the match ends. I am just looking to try something new I guess. I like to play quite strategic, using cover, flanking etc. Despite the Nat I am using I'm not a huge fan of knife fighting, standing there and holding the fire button with no additional mechanic is not that fun to me.

I feel the same way. I choose Mecha based upon the role they'll play: Patton - Grunt/Suppression; Rogotka - Fast attack; Vityaz - "Heavy" destroyer (equipped with a Zeus cannon); Golem - Mobile missile platform. So, I guess yeah .. try a new Mecha. You may find that you have a new favourite. The Rhino is becoming more prolific lately.

No, buy 2x more Tarans and Magnums and 2x Tridents for that Natasha before thinking about WSP bots.

Going purely the WSP route you have a few of options.
1)If you want to keep the Natasha get tridents for it and it is a great midranger second only to the TT Fury. Now you may not like this option as you already have the RDB. I find having 2 midrangers is a little too much.
2)You hangar needs a capper so I would also suggest a Stalker with magnums or piñatas
3)Carnage with stock thunders is the third option. I recommend trying it out in the test server as it needs some practice to get good at it.
4)Another PDB. The PDB is effective and those Tarans and magnums can be mounted on something else later down the road (Galahad, Gareth and Lance to name a few).

Of the three bots you mentioned I suspect the Rhino is the most versatile, but it takes some getting used to (I got one about a week ago, and I'm still working on using the shield to best effect).
I've recently been enjoying playing a Leo/Thunder/Magnum set-up as a knife fighter. Magnums seem to be a step up from Pinatas for my style of play (easier to hit with, harder to dodge, no reload time, ignore energy shields, and slightly better range at the expense of burst damage & splash). You might experiment first by swapping out your magnums onto your Leo and playing a few games. If you like it you have plenty of wsp to outfit a Leo with 3 new Magnums, and they will always come in handy if you need to outfit a Rhino/Griff/Galahad later on.

2 Taran and 2 Magnum already cost ~18800 WSP which need at least 2-3months for beginners to accumulate. I am only using 3 Tarans and 4 Magnums for my PDB Griffin and Plasmahad in Expert, I don't know why should beginners need to buy 4 Taran and 4 Magnums before everything in WSP, they don't even have a Gareth or Galahad.

Nah, due to workshop upgrade bonuses, WSP comes fast until it's maxed out. I'd go for 2 Taran, 2 Mags, Carnage myselfas first WSP purchases. Matter of opinion.

If I remember correctly, you get less than 85WSP every 4 hours when your WSP level low. But my main point is why we have to get 4 Taran and 4 Magnum first when you may not need all of them now or even the near future.

Not reallu sure how've you been Knifefighting but it takes te most strategy and skill. Flank, Cover, retreat, ambush, strafe, you need to know and do all to be a good KF. Often, MR and KF would merge, especially if you use rocket builds. I switch between smashing reds from MR to doing some improvised KF when it is needed in my RDB. Switching roles seamlessly is a lot fun and saves you and your allies' 「multiple dookie delivery chute」!

Follow the recipe given by those you deem successful, and be successful yourself. Anyway, two PDB Griffins are a fine thing to have in a hangar, so getting 4 of those each isn't a bad move. But it's a boring move. I'd have at most 3 Tarans (Griffin+Gareth/Galahad) until really needing 4 (for Ancilot probably, which is a long long way off if you don't spend RM).

Playing from the beginning of February, don't remember the date. Bought two Magnums only. The point is - beginner players usually can jump start money accumulation in game, to be able to catch up to average userbase.

Having PDB Griffin is pretty good, but 2 is a bit too much. I would rather have some other options like Thunder Carnage, RBD Griffin, DB Griffins, Thunder/Piñata Leo, Gareth or Galahad ect. Deploy PDB Griffin is kinda useless when you see many red Galahad in the battlefield, having different type of bot to choose from is my preference. Especially, when you move up, some people probably only using Plasmahad and Lancelot for 3 Tarans and 2 Magnums. Buy 4 Taran and 4 Magnum before everything doesn't make sense.

Totally agree with you on that. I think top tier play is pretty boring, with all the same bots and same weapons, same upgrade levels. Using only DB\PDB setup on your Griffins is a first step to a toptier with boring gameplay. Next step will be Lancelot, and the another one...
