Help me use these new bots and weapons!...

That is a lot of gold chests. Seriously. Did you spend RL cash or just roll with it as you won?

I can only speak for the Rogatka and the Zeus.

The Rogatka is quick and its "Jump" is high and long with a small (2 sec.) Cooldown after landing. However, it is less durable than the other "medium" Mecha. To compensate it is fitted with two "medium" hardpoints that make it especially dangerous with the right Pilot. Outfitted with two Orkans it can take down a Garath and do considerable damage to the enemy.

The Rogatka, as mentioned, possesses less armour than its counterparts. This makes it less capable in protracted fire-fights and better suited to flanking assaults in a supporting role. A pilot who wishes to get their hands dirty, should consider longer range weaponry, such as the Molots and Punishers, to help ensure survivability.


The Zeus cannon is a devastating weapon. It is able to penetrate the Ancile Shield system and do massive damage to its target. It is an essential weapon on the battlefield and can turn the tide of a battle and force the enemy to retreat.

It requires a Pilot to "Lock on" and the tango to be in direct view. Any obstruction; building, elevation change, natural formation, etc..., between you and your target will impede its effectiveness and cause it to do no damage to the target. But where the Zeus cannon really shines is its ability to track the target. For example, if a Pilot unloads on a "Jumping" Cossack it will track the tango both vertically and laterally while delivering its payload.

It has a short Cooldown, 5 seconds, until next charge. However, it will not be at full charge and deliver only half of its potential. It takes approximately 7 seconds to full charge.

Objection!

As to removing the Thunder Carn... man lately, I am dealing with and enjoying playing that beast more and more... especially on the Moon Base... A pack of 2 or more can wreck on that base! They have always been a terror on PP and DC... but lately both myself and clan mates have been doing well on SF and Canyon and Yam. I am slowly feeling my preference for Midrange slide back to the RDB and my Thunder bot preference back to the Carny. The main reason I have been running a Thundorkan Lance up until now is because I have only leveled 1 Thunder up to par with the rest of my hangar... with 2 close behind... but have felt like I needed as many 9s in my hangar as I can get.

As soon as my Ancile gets to 9... 2nd Thunder to 9 will commence... and the Thundorkan will become an Ancilot and the Thunder bot will be a Carny. It is just sooooo deadly if you can be selective. I have contained 2-3 reds at a time in the city area across from the farm in SF, just using the built in Ancile and buildings for cover and picking those dudes off as they came at me. Each went through at least 1 bot, but they never could root me out of the area! I had both weapons and 600 HP at the end of that fight! LOL! The Rush allows you to get to different cover quickly if they try and group up... just angle so that you are always isolating one from the others and take him out. From 100m... that is not hard and lasts mere seconds.

Nay, I say... Stay your hand... all hail the Thunder Carn! Long live Carnage! May its Thunder shake the ground under your enemies' feet!



JMO, YMMV

I would put both of those things in your reserves because those are just fun bots and fun weapons. They are no good for competitive play.
As for your Gold, buy 2 more Orkans if you don't have 4 in total and then save for a Lancelot. 

Nightmare in leveling decisions after 10. It's a white elephant

I want to know your favorite playstyle. Giving advice, without knowing what you like to play, might backfire...

I don't want to be rude, or offend you, but I think, you would be either the perfect, or the worst, Gareth player.
Do me a favor and try it for beacon capping. Just two, or three matches. Tell me, how you performed, please.

You say you overextend yourself?

What about a thunder trident butch?

Start with tridents and when you have overextended yourself pull out the thunders.

"It has a short Cooldown, 5 seconds, until next charge. However, it will not be at full charge and deliver only half of its potential. It takes approximately 7 seconds to full charge."

Is this true about the zeus? I've never heard it before.

So I played several battles last night with Gareth in my lineup and wow! You were right - I loved playing that bot first. I always capped a few beacons and could usually knock out a few reds along the way with him. He's fast and sturdy. What's not to like?

I was really shooting for a lance during this event but I ended up getting everything but a lance lol. I think it made me a better player. I am exploring different areas of play that I were previously unfamiliar. Plus - not scoring a lance this time gives me something to shoot for in the future! 

Thanks for suggesting the Gareth! 

Now the next question. What else should I try? haha - You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. : )

Thief! Objection! Cheater!

JK.....Congrats. So many toys ain't gonna know what to do with yourself. Have fun!

It's funny. I could have bought a Ancilot outright. I had the gold. But was is the fun in that? Not only did my 8,500 Au go much further. I am figuring out how to use things I didn't know I wanted lol 

It's pretty obvious right?

The perfect long/mid range hangar

Put zeus on carnage and don't sell butch, if you have 3 tridents then put on fury (replace your leo), if you have 2 tridents put it on butch with 2x kang daes or 2x thunders.
