So, my workshop points recently took an unexpected (and expensive) bump. Meaning I am fairly close to being able to buy something.
I currently am running:
- Rogata with Orkans
- Thunder Carnage
- RDB Griffin
- Plasma Griffin
- Zeus Gekko Natasha
My plan was to use the workshop points to replace the Natasha and have a Zeus Carnage. I just wanted a sense check.
I have been sticking the Zues’s on the Carnage to try it out and its pretty good. Although I am still getting use to the whole staying out of trouble thing. The Natasha is so slow its actually hard to get into trouble , the Carnage I can inadvertently creep into someone’s range, but I will get the hang of that. The additional mobility is a big plus.
So I just wanted to double check that based on what I have I wasn’t missing a better option. I can get some spare mags and taran’s down the road, don’t think I need them right now. Tridents look nice, but I have the Zeus’s and an RDB Griffin, so I think mid range is covered for the moment at least.
Rhino looks cool, but appears to be quite situational. I only get worried when I see one coming in a handful or limited, tight situations. Plus not sure what I would do with him, would have to replace the Rog or the Griffin which certainly are working pretty well for me at the moment.
I don’t like the fujin and raijin, not sure why, they do appear effective at what they do, but just don’t think I would like the game play with them.
So Zeus Carnage it is, unless I have missed something?

I'm same as you, put Zeus's on my thunder Carny and LOVED em, mind you this was after I shelved my Trident fury... it's just not for me (At least not right now) Problem was I loved my thunder carny too so am going to pull the trigger on a second carny so I can run both. Can also swap in the Tridents for fun and have a set of Trebs too.
So I'll have
- Tulum Rogatka
- Thunder Carnage
- Zeus Carnage
- PDB Griff
- DB Griff

Your hangar would mirror mine exactly if you went with the zeus carnage, so I say go for it.  |

I like your Zeus Carnage idea. I don't have one, but I know I don't like seeing them on the red team!
Rhino has limited lifespan.
Spider Bots are VERY slow, and take a different mindset.
You'll improve your Carnage piloting a lot faster by running 2 of them.

Definitely the Zeus Carnage. The buff to the Russian Griffin will make it beneficial for you to get a direct and hard counter to it (Zeus Carnage) and while the Zeus Gekko Natasha can be used as a midranger, it's too slow to field Zeus and to avoid enemy midrange. Make sure you have at least 4 Tarans and Magnums each first.

Make sure you have at least 4 Tarans and Magnums each first. I have read a lot of posts on the forum recomending getting loads of magnums and tarans. I currently have 2 of each on a Griffin. No issue with longer stockpiling of guns, but don't think I would use and more plasma wepons in the short term. Unless I change a bot competly. So thinking the carnage I will use straight away, so a better initial option? |

Carnage
2x Tarans
In that order. Tridents are ho him right now. There's a more than fair chance you'll want the option to plasma rog down the road, hence the tarans.

Carnage zeus is a fine midrange choice once you get the hang of it.

I also would recommend second carnage (I have one, not high level yet but worthwhile).
My opinion
Carnage
2 taran
2 trident

Be sure to stock up on Orkans, too, as you're going to need at least 4 (preferably 6) in upper tier play. |

I usually build a bot that I hate to see on red, Zeus Carnage is one of them.

Hey OP, I'm going to highjack since a basic consensus has been met and I have a very similar question. 15k WSP saved up.
I have a fury zeus right now. Should I get a carnage or should I start buying trebs or tridents?

Should I get a carnage or should I start buying trebs or tridents? Depends on your play style. Do you prefer speed or firepower, generally speaking? |

The Fury has more fire power but an RDB griff or ANY other midranger can close on it easily. With the Zeus carnage though... the moment they chase you they are dead. |

I ended up getting the carnage. I really like the mobility. May save up for 3 trebs now.

Dont think you can go wrong with the Carnage. The Carnage is still unique in its build and abilities, that doesnt look to change anytime soon.
I am sitting on 29K WS points, earning 40 a day. I am leveling weapons to L12 and bots to L10. I approach purchases with this mind set; unless I am going to start leveling it to L9 bot or L10 weapon, it is not worth it right now. Not much can happen right now where I would switch my upgrade plan.
With that said, I do plan on building a Zeus Carnage, but I already have TT Fury and RDB Griffin. A Zeus Carnage is on the way-back burner.
