As the title asks, I would lovvveeee some tips. Currently, I have a level 4 Patton with three Gekkos and an Ecu, Griffin with two Pins and 2 Punisher Mk2, and Leo with three lvl 3 Magnums and a Thunder. What kind of tactics should I use with these fellas?

You should sell them and buy better bots. Are you looking for hangar advice?

Hello Zarin Hammerfall , and welcome to the forum. You might find a little resistance to your current hangar on the forum, as those are pretty atypical builds. Gekkos are not really loved here, as their damage output is lesser than most other options, but they are fun. Here would be the basics for your builds: With the Patton, don't just hang out at spawn. Move a bit, cap some beacons, and harass the enemy midrangers with your laser beams. The Griffin is a bit of a mixed bag, as the pins are best from 450m or so, while the punishers shine under 300m. If you want to use as is, I suppose you would stay under cover at 425m or so from the enemy, engage your jump straight up, and unload the pins at an enemy target. You really might want to look at Tulumbas though in lieu of the punishers, as they pair much better in this role. The Leo is a brawler, and you would be getting up close to enemies to optimize your thunder damage. If you are open to hangar advice, most here would advise you get a 4th slot pronto, and then start grinding to slot 5. Having more than 3 slots is pretty important as you start brawling with enemies. These are generally viewed as better options than buying gold weapons like the gekkos. Also, short range damage and grabbing the beacons are the keys to winning games, so you may want to gravitate towards bots/weapons that excel in those areas as you progress. Cheers. |

Tactics--find a blue and follow/support them. With your Leo, this means find another (non-fast) brawler and follow them closely. Shoot at what they shoot at. Sometimes hide a little behind them, then move out. If you both share the damage, you will both last longer, if you both focus on the same target, the red will not last long at all.
With your Griffin this can mean finding a blue brawler and covering them from a bit of a distance. You want to be close enough that you can target the same bots they are targeting.
Patton/Gekko: as HP said, cap some beacons and harass the enemy midrangers.
Hangar advice: Tulumbas would be great on the Griffin (matches range with Pins) Molot MkIIs would be a decent alternative, but Tulus would be better.
4 Pins or 4 Pinatas would also work well on the Patton, if you find you want to trade some range for firepower.
Stay alert and keep your laser handy!
edit: more tactics stuff. Check out the sticky thread above for various tips and tactics. Try one until you get the hang of it, then move on to the next. Also look into some videos by Lloyd Le Mar and Stew Pendous.

Step 1 Play Yamantau with Patton Gekko.
Step 2 Fire Gekkos and twirl around in a circle
Step 3 Every drops out of the game due to a sudden onset of siezures
Tip: for maximum effect make sure Gekkos are all on different levels |

Thank you all. Prior to posting here anyways, I was using my Patton Gekkos in a rather, let's say, obnoxious way, because all too frequently I will wait for others to bring an enemy bot to really low health before firing a blast of green light to get the kill for myself. In the Griffin I usually die within two minutes after spawning with it because, eh, Natashas with dual Thunders...
Now, just to implement what you all said...
Especially the seizure one...

The single most important thing you can do is get in the habit of looking around. Know where the reds are, how far away, where they're going and how fast. Everything else is hand eye coordination and muscle memory.  |

What kind of tactics should I use with these fellas? I had a Patton with 4 lvl 12 Gekkos and I used that to excellent advantage on long range maps... Got a lot of silver. I've just recently swapped to a Leo 9 3X 12 Gekko and now a Treb 11. Leo has much more health. The Patton was easier to Pilot than the Leo Stick with the Patton for a while!!! Its a great long distance weapons platform. Stay out of the way, stay at long range and burn metal. My advice would be to max those weapons to fund your silver campaign. Also on Canyon map, if you look at the bridges they have a metal post, stand behind that and you can fire all four weapons and you cannot be hit!!! only works on a Patton. You're welcome! That is the only strong advice I have... |
