2 Week Player -- Hangar Advice

Why am I seeing two different screenshots? I see a profile for Baby cristy with 4666 victories in the Recruit league. i63.tinypic.com/wkflzk.png

Welcome to the game and the forum!

Here's my advice, but remember, YMMV, so do what you enjoy most.

Leo looks solid. If you give him Aphids, thats fine, but aphids to me are not really the best AU weapon. They miss small fast bots like Gareths and Stalkers.

Tasha with Nashorns is fine as your midranger, but suggest molts or pins to go on her sides. Noricums make pretty fireworks but rarely impact the game or hurt the reds.

Patton Punisher is fun. He is who I would give aphids to if you that route. Give the Punishers to Leo.

DB Griff of course is a solid build.

With gold, I would save for the 5th slot, but more Orkans and Aphids are fine too. Focus on opening your workshop soon to buy Tarans and Magnums, and enjoy the game!

Sorry about the high end player blowing you up. If you read here, you will find that some pilots think its fun to lower their league score down to play against new players like yourself with high end gear. They are generally 「wee-wee」s, but what are you gonna do. Hope you dont see them too often until you are levelled up yourself.

Here is a guide for how to use gold optimally.

That said, it's just a guide, and buy what looks fun.  Aphids are great in multiples, and can be a really effective support weapon from behind cover.  They are not the best weapon for brawling though, which are generally Pinatas/Orkans like your Griff, or Magnums/Tarans which you will soon unlock, and Thunders are the best weapon for "get off my lawn" moments...

When i was at your levels, I loved the Boa with a Thunder and Orkan.  I ran two of them.  They are a great little blend of speed and power.  Griffins are great, and may stay with you up into the highest levels of play.  Leo can be a beast at your levels as well.

Enjoy!

You bought the right 1st Au weapons. DB Griffin is going to worth your time upgrade it, because some of the best player in highest league still using them.

Start regenerate WSP asap when it open, buy 2 Tarans and 2 Magnum and build a PDB Griffin. This bot is still decent at highest league.

If you want a good beacon runner which doing okay damage, you can buy a Gareth. If you only want a bot that probably last forever up to highest league, buy a Galahad. Some top players still use a Gareth but not as much as Galahad. I recommend Taran and Magnum for them, but some people prefer Orkan Piñata or Aphid.

4th bot is very hard choice when you don't have enough WSP or Au for end game bots. Because most end game bots cost a lot of WSP and Au, like Taran Ancilelot, Thunder/Orkan Lancelot, trident or Zeus Fury, Trebs Butch etc (your Galahad and DB Griffin is one of them). There are still quite a few people using Thunder or Zeus Carnage, Gareth, PDB and  RBD Griffin as well. The choices is yours.

I don't prefer buying Aphids before 5th slot or Galahad, but if you like shooting Aphids behind a building and enjoy it. Why not?

Here's what I would do:

Ditch the Leo and Natasha, replace them with 2 Boas. Put the Leo's Thunder on one and buy another Thunder for the 2nd. Move your Orkans over to the Boas and turn the Griffin into an RDB (pins/tulumbas). Put the Pinatas on the Patton and buy 2 more so he can sport 4 of them.

Then upgrade, upgrade, upgrade...

That would give you some significantly increased 「deteriorated bum-bum」ery without spending any more gold for the time being.

Also, get some plasma weapons as you build wsp. Start with a Taran and 2 Magnums. Then, after you get the 5th slot, you can pick up a Galahad and outfit it with Plasma.

Looking down the road, the Orkans eventually go back on the Griffin, along with the 2 highest Pinatas. The Boas get retired and their Thunders go on a Carnage. A 2nd Griffin can keep the RDB going, or outfit it with plasma.

Of course, this is just what I would do. You can do whatever you want.

If there's one thing I've learned about this game, it's this: you should NEVER use the phrase "final hangar". You will always be changing things up looking for that perfect 5 bot combo.

My first gold investment was an orkan. I put it on a boa. The thunder orkan boa never left my hanger until I got my 5th slot and reached level 27. And I learnt to knife fight from it.

Everything else were plasma. Many many tarans and magnums. I have tried vitas, cossack, and Leo and then started building my griffin army.
