Hi Forumites, I am new to the forum although I have been a lontime lurker.... kind creepy, huh? I' ve been watching you... Anyhow, I need to make a decison and I am looking for your infinite wisdom. I have posted my current hanger. I am looking to either save up for a Lance (or Galahad) and I have about 2500 gold. But give the current state of War Robots with 10 million missle weilding Griffins, I am not sure now is a good time (although I think Ancilots will always be viable... But I don' have an Ancile, so that is a long way off). So, another option for me is to buy another Zeus (got one) and slap it on my Carnage. So, what do you think? Save up for a Lance or go woth the Carnage? BTW, I also have a Rhino, Butch (leveling Trebs), Jeese, 4 Gareths, 2 stalkers, other lights and mediums not worth mentioning. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated!

Don't save for knights. Lance is good now, and, maybe for a 2-3 months tops. So by the moment you finish saving - Dashed arrive and Lance would be not so cool. I would go for Zeus, it is pretty fun now and would be nice against Dashes in the future. Btw, nice hangar! Reminds me of my fun times :-D

Normally I would say go Zeus... Zeus carny is my favorite midranger, and it will get better vs dashes and when they fix damage issue next update.
But u mentioned going treb Butch. And you have the tri-pin Tasha already. So I think u may be all set at range.
Honestly, I would stand pat for now.

Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated! If you add a zeus carnage, I assume you're going to replace your Natasha? If you add 3rd mid-ranger, you're too heavy with range, and you're not going to be effective enough in pushing for beacons. I'd just keep leveling up weapons for your DB griff and RDB griff. Your 1st Leo needs to have its Pin replaced with another Magnum. Lance is a worthy investment, even if you don't get an Ancile. A thunder lance is effective for knocking out other Ancilots.

So... I should have been more explicit about my hanger. Longterm I am going to go for 3 kniferfighters/short range bots, and one or two midranger or one mid and one long - will probably switch them around. One mid ranger will be a RDB, I might go for a Fury TT as well. The long ranger will be a Butch Treb. However, I like to have some variety and switch bots out when I feel like it. That is why I am considering the Carnage.
So, yeah my Natasha will eventually go as well as the Leos. As of now, the Griffs are the ony bots I will keep.
From the advice so far.... I am leaning towards sitting on my gold for now and finding out what is going on with the dashbots.
Thanks to all for the posts!

I know they smashed by mid/ork dbs, but having my plasma Galahad can be very helpful against zues/thunder carnage/PDB Griff/ .
Also, you could go ROG...

I would say either get Zeus Carnage, or Orkan or Taran Rog, Rog is easily the most versatile bot in war robots, and it is well accustomed to the areas of the new map.

Sit on it, you have options and more to come! Right now you have working mid-range & long-range bots. Space can easily be very limited with a wide range of bots. I would look long term - where do you want to go & play style What drives you, Champion League or blowing stuff up with your favorite bot! I want to battle the best, I like to be mobile and Brawl, but I needed mid-range punch!! Got a Carnage, then moved up to Fury - loaded with Tridents. I also swapped my Galahad (plasma) with rdb Griffin. NEVER thought I would run 2 mid-range bots but the rdb Griffin is really versatile and has done extremely well vs. my Galahad. If I just ran my favorite bots, it would be Griffins & Thunder Carnages, but not very successful! Hopefully something to think about. Also, I am BANGING LOUDLY on the door to Masters Tier with Level 9 bots running solo - need 25 cups! Hopefully will be in Masters today!

Really, I play the game to have fun, but want to be competitive... I have no delusions of grandeur, so playing in the Champion Leagues is something that probably will never happen. So, I am trying to balance having fun with having decent scores (I am on a downward spiral right now, getting my head handed to me on a platter.... hope it turns around soon!). As far as fun goes, I really have a lot of good bots to choose from and I am just trying to figure out what to level/buy first. The only three bots I really want that I don't have are a Lance, a Galahad and a Fury. I May buy two Lances way on down the line if I like 'em. As for the Dashbots, I am sure I will want them (especially the medium bot because I really like the medium hardpoints), but they will probably cost too much for me to even think about! Hey, and good luck getting into Master Tier.... that is quite an accomplishment!

Hey, and good luck getting into Master Tier.... that is quite an accomplishment! Yes, I made it through on first try, I went 4/5 battles and I was 4120 cups before the last battle. The last battle had 3 tanker/faders and was over quickbut I was already through the door. One other thing I just remembered. I have had some LARGE downward spirals and I have started to use that time to try being creative in my hangar. I remember putting Trident/punishers - then Tulus on my Lancelot. Pulled out my Patton, put 4 Aphids on it. Etc.... Just know it will pass, but I rotate my hangar! Nothing worse than using the same hangar and losing with it again and again - gets very frustrating REAL QUICK! As for bots above. I dont think the Lancelot or the Fury can ever be completely diminished. Each bots make up has its unique abilities that set it apart. The Galahad as well, but right now with rocket buff, not as much.

As for the Dashbots, I am sure I will want them (especially the medium bot because I really like the medium hardpoints) Every Dash bot equipped with Medium slots ;) It's 2xslots for Kumiho (smallest) and 3xslots for Haechi and Bulgasari (other bots)

Hahahaha @ the current state of War Robots with 10 million missle weilding Griffins
Go with the Zeus Carnage if you like camping and waiting for reds to stray into your line-of-sight.
But be warned, little plasma bots such as Stalkers and Gareths will hunt you down. Whenever I use a Zeus Carnage, those little buggers come for me. Both predator and prey!

I thought they would be more diverse with smalls and heavies too. I would LOVE them to be more diverse :-D But basically they all are rushing, medium-weapon wielding, overpowered new age bots. Oh, and Pix said that they are going to move away from "light\medium\heavy" bot classification. And of course I am going to spam you once again with my video where you can see Dashes. They been aesthetically revamped a little bit since that moment, and speed\hp was a bit remodelled. But main idea and weapon slots remains the same.

I am going to have to level my Rog and get him out there. Right now he is squishy like a big fat caterpillar! I have some Tarans that I am not using right now...

I say buy 2 orkans and make a Death Button griffin.
Keep lvling weapons. Dont buy a brit bot now. With the missle buff they are a liability atm.
Ice shelved my 2 lances and put in db griffins in their place.

With what we know about the incoming dash bots I would buy the remaining Zues for a Zeus Carny or just save your money. Zeus Carny is strong right now because it counters all the Tulum bots out there and provides great pressure, especially now we are seeing less and less Brit bots around. It's also unlikely to be made redundant by the Dash bots, if anything it will become even stronger.
I scored 2 Zeus in the last event and am loving this bot.
Anything else is a potential waste of money as the Dash bots will most likely make Lancelot much less desirable, put the final nail in Galahads coffin and replace the Rog. At the moment I am just concentrating on leveling medium weapons in groups of three (3 Orkans, 6 Tarans, 3 Tulums) and leveling my Zeus Carny while saving every last scrap of gold I can get in preparation for the next event.

I would say hold on to your gold and see what happens with next update(s). Myself I'm sitting on almost 3k now and see no incentive to spend any of it at brink of meta change. I guess I'll wait till new goodies start to shine on horizon or I cross 5k mark and start spending the excess on skins ;P
As for the Zeus Carny configuration, albeit occasionally useful, does disappoint a bit with output. Zeuses deal damage relatively slow and with aiming issues (obstacles, slow locking, occasional random change of target if not locked, etc, etc) plus infamous "bug" the overall performance is imo mediocre. I had Zeus Carny and now went back to Thunders; way better in expressing your feelings to reds in direct and "personal" way. On top of that upgrading them gets expensive like hell. And one more, the most important "fact" (lol) this is the ugliest looking weapon in the game - looks like a transplant from another app;)

I haven't really tried mine out. And as far as the look goes..... yes, it is a bit phallic, isn't it? And this is another thread altogether, but I really hate the weapon models since the update. Things look more cartoony to me in general!

Things look more cartoony to me in general! I'm rather neutral about new looks of pin/tulu/pinata. Maybe a bit overcooked, but still within game artwork range/standards; unlike zeus, which is totally from another planet. To go back to the topic, I would say that the "bug" may sometimes be annoying, but what made me shelf the Zeuses is combination of factors listed above plus the upgrade cost; I've just shifted priorities to RDB which seems much more capable atm. Thunders instead are fun and despite the fact, that sometimes my itchy fingers get this bot killed prematurely, there are occasions when I can serve a full Double-Thunder-XL menu to 2 or 3 bots in a row, which is enough compensation for loses. Kinda roulette; Zeus carny on the other hand is straight boring.

Played it a little and died a lot, but I tend to be too impatient and that bot is like a spider.... wait and lure your victim, then Thunder 'em in the face when they get close! I just leveled one thunder to 9, so that might help (the others are 8s). I know what you mean about RDB, I have been having some success with that bot, but need to level my weapons as well. I hate to see so many of the same bot out there though... so I would only ever have one.
