5 Tarans, 4 magnums, 2 hydras, 2 Tridents, 1 stalker, 1 Carnage later and I am now able to afford a Rhino. Should I buy one?

I would say no, unfortunately. With the orkan and missile buff, plus dash bots of some sort on the horizon, the poor guy is going to be largely extinct in the wild, just like his namesake!  |

Yes. If you have nearly all the good stuff, then why not?

The caveat to that might be - how is your collection of britbots? Rhino as a temporary, situational Galahad or Ancilot crusher might be worth it.

That depends... I have found more uses for 2 Carnages than for 1 Rhino... Can roll out a Thunder Carn and have a highly mobile MR bot, both with an Ancile, in the same hangar. I have 2 Rhinos that never made it past level 6, from the days of the old MM and 6/8 heavy hangars. I am considering upping 1 to 9, just to see if the slight resurgence that may or may not be happening, can be seen in my play. But I didn't have to think about getting and leveling 2 Carnages. Since the MR meta has slipped, I don't run MR every game now... but when I do, it is either an RDB Griff or a Zeus or Trident Carny. As much as I am falling in love with the Thunder Carnage lately, I can't see taking it out... so I am pleased I have 2 to choose from. I hate that I wasted WSP and Ag on the Rhinos. Maybe that feeling will change... but I am not expecting it to.
IMO, YMMV

I made a commitment awhile ago, in another Thread, to get a Rhino when I had enough WSP. I've seen Rhino's put to good use and had to develop strategies to counter them.
With the possible new 'Buffs, the Rhino may face stiff competition but, Hey .. Who doesn't like and underdog?

OH geez... well, I can't say I didn't try it  That brings up a good point though, are you saying you don't have a Fuji yet? I have used the Fujin with Orks, Tarans, and Tulus way more often than the Rhino... if you don't have that bot yet, and are not in TT, you can get some very good results from it if you play it right. Both short range setups are super deadly if you can catch the proper target with them. If/when the Tulu mechanic changes to reload while firing, the Tulu Fuji may be a bit better than before. The worst part of that build was the wait... if you could stop shooting when that target walks back behind the wall or Jumps back... it may make it more palatable. Things to ponder.... |

Rhino is good until Diamond 1 on iOS.

It's the best WSP bot. |

Having two in my line-up helped do some medium bot dailies and get some of the Event tasks done. |

I'm going to add to the overall tune of this thread and +1 on the second carnage. I haven't regretted getting two.
Have weaponry lying around for 4 (2 thunder, 2 zeus, 2 trident, 2 treb).
I am putting my rhino up to 8 at the moment, but I'm a bit crazy in what I upgrade and use.

With the possible new 'Buffs, the Rhino may face stiff competition but, Hey .. Who doesn't like and underdog? Same here, I loved it in a video and saved to buy one. It's hard to get control of it tho. If you are like me and want to try everything, I say yes. Maybe this post helps you a bit: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/6608/rhino-danger-extinction |

When I first started playing, all I wanted was the Rhino. When I finally got one, disappointed is an understatement. The controls are horrendous. ....you're constantly raising and lowering the shield. The on thing I personally would use it for is guarding home beacon. And I don't do that because I love hunting and killing. Also, I too have just gotten my first fujin and am leveling it up with hydras, curious to see how much fun that is. But on the other hand, I have 2 carneys that I run with thunders and zues....to tell you the truth, my staple hangar doesn't have any of those. I run triplets of griffs with the RDB being the favorite son, a Plasmahad and a plasma gary
