This where I am  Spare kit 2 spare Tarans 1 Orkan 1 hydra 2 Tridents Several magnums 2 geckkos 2 gepards 2 stalkers Rhino Many pins/pinatas/Tulumbas/Boas/Natasha What to do? Blow it all on a Lancelot? 2 Gareth's & another Galahad? (Like the Galahad I currently have) 2 zues for the carnage ? I think I would hate a fury Recently had a task kill 2 bots with a light bot in a single game... So I threw on the 2 gepards & 2 stalkers (even though they were not levelled)... It was actually fun ... I worry about the lance being a bit of a plodder... Have a Natasha that is so slow  .it has 2 tridents & 2 geckkos but sits on the bench The spydra is fun for trolling /picking off weak reds... Like the homing stuff as the lag is so bad I stand a chance of hitting something! I welcome your thoughts! |

I would :
1. Add a Gareth, that would add a huge amount of speed and toughness to your line-up especially if you liked Stalker/Gepard which are not even close to compare to the Gareth.
2. You would have 3'750 gold, you collect gold for a month, and then add a Lancelot.
Then you have the three britbots which are the three best robots in the game (regardless of order) => Happy wildboar.

You are better experienced player than me but I would like to say that If I were you, I would buy lance and replace spydra. Then you think about either zues carnage or another galahad.
Btw, another bots are on horizon so you can wait to get shielded dash bot assuming it will cost gold.

At your level the gareth is wasted. You will need lances to replace your griffins.

I go with the poster above saying get a gareth and get a lance. Even if the gareth doesn't get into expert / masters, it is a fun bot and cheap. |

Hold off on buying a Lancelot and get a fourth Orkan and a Rogatka instead.
The Lancelot, while effective, is exceptionally boring to play and slow enough to make your eyes bleed. If you don't like the plodding playstyle of the Natasha, imagine trying to crawl one into close combat. Buy a Rogatka if you prefer nimble close quarter combat. That being said, you will eventually want the Lancelot if you plan on squading in the future--the Lancelot shines in numbers.

Admittedly the rush makes a difference for getting the Lance where it needs to go. I have been anything but bored with my orkan ancilotte. Only bot that I take into dangerous and / or three on one situations on occasion. |

I would suggest you buy another Orkan and then a Lancelot. Also, I'd also recommend you replacing that Hydra Spiral Griffin with a Trident Pin Natasha, a Trident Carnage or a Tulumbas Pin Griffin. The Hydra Spiral functions very poorly as a midranger.

Have considered a hydra ork pinata griffin for similar purposes. |

Lance seems to be favoured ... 5k ...is it really worth 2 galahads / 4 Gareths?
I know what you are saying about the Spydra Griff... it is 'weak' but it does have its uses ... some low HP bot on the edge of a map still dishing out trident/trebuchet blasts ... full salvo around corners - Boom!...
Or someone who has killed 3 of your bots - trolling with sequenced fire for a constant screen shake ;-)
The Tash with tridents - not feeling the love at the mo ... tried it a few times and got targeted & killed quickly each time

Like I said, you add a Gareth, and in less than a month, you get the Lancelot. That is the best you can do, if you like a super-strong, yet balanced hangar, then having one of each britbots is a must. Those are the three best robots in the game and nothing else come close.

You have several bot options so far but you will probably end up using a fourth orkan no matter what. That's probably a good place to start.
After that, you can pick from the Gareth, Rogatka, and Lancelot. you can't go wrong with any of them but I would order them according to your preferred play style. Gareth and Rogatka if you prefer speed, beacon thievery, and flanking maneuvers at the cost of being fragile. Select the Lancelot if you like territory control and tankiness at the cost of speed.

Gareth is a great bot, but more nice to have I think, Lancelot is essential (in the current game environment). There was also a good point about the new dash bots though - if they come out for gold, then they could be a game changer (medium and light, heavy one sucks imo). So maybe the Gareth or extra Orkan is a sensible bet to keep most of your powder dry in case dash bots come out in the near future. but 100% get rid of the spiral hydra - it is basically asking to lose and only serves to annoy people. If you want a mid range griff set up then use your tulumbas and pins - they are about to get the new firing mechanic like Orkans and your blue teammates will stop thinking "oh no, not one of those guys again" when they see you spawn with 「gosh darn 」 hydras... |

Butch already cost 14kAu, don't think Dash is accessible by everyone. I say just buy whatever you want, speed bot, Tank bot or support bot. Gareth/Rogatka is good speed bot, Lancelot is good tank, Tridents Fury or Zeus Carnage is good support bot.

Well ... I decided to go with a Gareth for now ... a bargain at 1250Au!
I have borrowed a L9 Taran & a L8 Magnum so he was punchy right out of the wrapper (if a little slow & fragile)
Now at L6 he is getting a nice turn of speed - actually making the Galahad feel a little slow
I think I will have fun with this bot ...

Gary is probably the most fun bot to pilot for me. Also, I think he might be the best instructional bot on learning how to play at diamond in beyond. Learn how to backpedal rockets, corner shoot, and side step aphids all in one package |
