It seems like everyone has one slot in their Hanger dedicated to a Support Bot. TT Fury, RBD Griff, Zeus Carnage, Trebuchet Gekko Natasha, etc. etc... What setup is your favorite, and why?

Zeus Carnage is my favorite but KwK or Trident Fury is the most practical.

I actually run two: a TT Fury and a RDB Griff. The Fury generally only sees duty on Yam, Canyon, & SF, as the other maps require too much movement to find valid firing solutions. The RDB has less splash, range, and longer reload times but is more mobile on the tighter maps, thus sees duty in almost every battle.

I run two of 'em also: RDB Griff, and one that tends to shift with my mood. There are many choices I'll cycle through, but the most common is something with Tridents or Zeuses: Carnage, 'Tasha or Raijin.

TT fury, with a Zeus carny sitting around as an alternate bot when I run two mid-range. Got a second TT fury and a hydra Fujin leveling in the background.

All of my bots are support bots, beacon cappers, meatshields, etc. I play all of my bots the same way... I will even use my stalker as a meatshield for other beacon cappers on my team.  |

Quad trebuchet Booootch is my daily driver support. Got a Carnage with zeuseses and a gekko Patton, plus a couple other range builds floating in my back-hangar. Also. KwK 488mm is the pre-change name for the current Nashorn weapon. I prefer KwK myself, but I understand the mix-up. copilotjesus |

Vityaz: Zeus/Spiral
Mobile, long range heavy damage. Can wear down multiple targets rapidly, allowing teammates to close and finish the fight.

RDB Griff 8's by far but I'm upgrading a hydra fujin just for fun to see how that works out.

Didn't even like it at first (still meh on Pins), but it grew on me. Now every setup I try, I find myself asking "Is this better than RBD?" The answer is usually no, but I also don't have the most developed hangar. Something tells me Spiral + Hydra/Tulum Rhino might be decent. My gut says I'm wrong, but I got to try it with at least a level 8 setup before I decide for sure how I feel. |

Best support/MRS for me is trident/zeus fury. I like the RDB but the higher you get up the tiers the more they lose effectiveness. Prior to this setup I used carnage trident/zeus.

I can't seem to bring myself to use spirals, something about only having 3 shots just makes me avoid them. And although I have a rhino, it just seems to get fragged way easier than it should...... Not to mention being a pain in the arse to pilot. I like my RDB Griff and until I find something else that can consistently give me 150-200 damage by itself, I will keep it in my main hangar |

The Trident Pin Natasha does 6 more DPS than a TT Fury. I prefer a Tempest Zeus Butch

I can't settle on a support bot. I have too many options and more often than not I don't use any.
Carnage zues is probably the most frequently used.
RDB griff is 8/8, carnage is 9 with either trident (9) treb (7) nash (6) or zues (8)
I also have Hydra spiral (lev 7's) for the griff. And 4 gekkos that I can put on a patton.
or mix the trebs and gekkos up on a Natasha.....
But recently I got three chests. so I also have a Doc, a Fury and a Butch to work with....
The one I'm really concentrating on right now is 4 tullumba Doc. But I also have a third trident, zues and treb for the fury.
Butch with trebs and zues is nice.
Arrgghhh....

I have an awful mind but for some reason your last one made me super uncomfortable What was it? I need to know so I can change it back to make you super uncomfortable again.  I am sooo ready for Wonder Woman to come out so I can use gifs of Gal Gadot or Robin Wright (I loooooooooove Robin Wright). Actually, there's a gif of Cate Blanchett that I want to use from that upcoming Thor movie. |

TT fury is effective especially if there are two of them or a thunder bot that can negate Ancelots, but having recently acquired a Zeus carnage, I can see why some people play trident carnage over fury, it's really fun and mobile. You can hop around and attack unsuspecting targets before changing locations. Just need to watch out for trebs, geckos or Zeus furies. The only blight is how Zeus damage seemed bugged and doesn't register at times even though it's a direct hit within 600m in wide and even open space.
I'm currently using both in an attempt to soft tank into diamonds, hope two supports is enough to keep me there, otherwise molot or hydra griffin incoming.
Ancelots or fujins can be great supports too, I had games where an Ancelot or Fujin stuck with my trident fury with their shield and we went around taking out red tridents.

When you have your shields up, it just seems too slow to turn. But with Spirals you don't have to turn to aim, so that doesn't really matter. But yeah, Spirals might be so awful that it's not worth the silver you invest to level them. It was the first weapon I was happy to remove from my line-up. We will see how they perform at level 8 before I completely give up on em. |
