I'm a bit rusty in euro broken English, but I'll give it my best shot.
a) Remove Destrier for Cossack. Cossack is better completely, put Punisher Mk2 on Cossack and it will be better than Punisher. b) Don't mix range of weapons. For example, on your Golem, Kang Dae, Tulumbas and Spiral all have different ranges (1100, 500, 600 metres in order). Try to keep ranges the same.
These weapons are the same families: Plasma: Magnum, Taran, Thunder 300m: Piñata, Orkan, Thunder Rocket: Pin, Tulumbas, Trident Punisher: Punisher Mk 1&2 + Thunder Molot: Molot Mk 1&2 + Zeus Archer: Spiral, Hydra, Zeus Long range: Gekko, Trebuchet
Try to only use weapons of the same family for each bot.
3. Remember that beacons win the game. At the top of game screen, there are red and blue bars that smaller slowly. When these bars are nothing, the other team wins the game. Capturing the beacons makes the bar small faster.

Make sure when you're defending centre beacon, you're not standing right underneath the towering walls. They're so thin that splash weapons can splash THROUGH THE WALL. I exploit this all the time as a midranger. You field a tulumbas cossack??? You don't??? Wait what month is it?? What's the meta bot now?? What game is this?

Just as a writing tip, the shorthand for your hangar is: 6/5 Piñata Thunder Leo 6/5 RDB Griffin 2/3.5 Molot Patton 3/4 Taran Cossack Cossacks shine when they hit level 8. Now that the old hangar based matchmaker is out the door, just upgrade your cossack's bot level straight to 8. At 8, its base speed is fast enough to backpedal away from rockets, but at any level Cossacks can jump backwards fast enough to dodge all rockets anyway. btw if anyone above said to drop the Cossack at the level you're at right now, just discredit everything they say. Cossacks are crucial until you hit Gold I~II, and even after that they're still a huge help to a team. Cossacks are THE BIGGEST early-game threat to the red team when piloted right. Excluding on Canyon and Yamantau, Cossacks should be able to beat any bot except a Gareth to a cap and corner. ALWAYS lead with a Cossack. Your hangar looks like you play Flanker (like what I play sometimes), so your job is to hit your team's side beacon first. After you cap your first beacon, look for a left-side corner to post up on. Wait for a few seconds, and if it's obvious the other team isn't pressuring the centre beacon, go for it yourself, otherwise go target the enemy's side beacon (aka remote beacon). Never engage the enemy in the open. As a rule of thumb, never go out into the open in a Cossack. Always be hopping from corner to corner, only ever exposing your weapon. If you get hit by a Trident, good for them. That's they only way they're gonna damage you, and you can be sure that the trident hit didn't go hit one of your team's shield bots. Having a Cossack in your hangar is one of the best things you could do for your team, and yourself. Cossacks get beacons, and beacons get wins. Winning guarantees you positive trophies and is the difference between 0 and 10 Au. Keep Sacking. Thanks for the writing tip! By flanking you mean going by the sides of a map and hitting enemies, right? If that so, there is a savage, almost obscene pleasure with flanking with your Leo and hitting the enemy spawn base or when skewer them from behind while they are pinned down exchanging fire at front lol. The problem with the Cossack thing is that matched are very unbalanced. Team gets wiped out in half the time, or makes such advance that after my Cossack is dropped, it's a pain to catch up with teammates. Moreover, if I didn't use all the heavies, I get way less Ag due to dmg stat stuff..and match being short, I can't use all bots in almost all the matches. Maybe if I had a decent clan, it'd be okay? Yep. Flankers are 'flankers' for two reasons. In terms of map manoeuvring, they spend most of their time at the flank. But also, they directly flank shield bots by being square onto the shield, as a result of being at the side. Like an oddly formed hammer-and-anvil formation, with them being the hammer... actually that's a terrible analogy. But you know what I mean. If you're not using all your brawlers, you're not risking it for the biscuit enough. It's okay to take hits with a brawler, as long as you give more than you take. This does not apply for the Cossack, don't take hits at all XD. As far as clans go, the wiki family is a great place to start when adapting to higher level gameplay. I forget who the officers are of WikEd, but they're the Android wiki learners' clan. I believe they have a thread on this forum, you can go hit them up there and say salt sent you.

Well if u really wanna stick with ur cossack, its possible, but u have to move at all times, even more than a gary, utilising different environment and cover or even enemy or friendly bots to be good. I once met a very good cossack pilot (Gold league 1 >.>) He danced around this afk raijin with bastion mode on and took me a good 20 seconds to bring him down. Another cossack on powerplant (my ally) used cover to his advantage. He end up capping 8 beacons on the whole match and we won despite the red team got lancelots spawning. But it takes time to practice and know the map well but it is in fact a good beacon capper. I would consider it the most demanding beacon capper to get the most outta it. I have to disagree with you on this. I only don't run a Cossack when I have missions for heavy or medium bots, else I always run a Cossack. And I know for a fact that good Cossack pilots spend a decent amount of time stationary at corners. Cossacks that don't stop hopping are clearly beginners. I notice that you said your ally used cover to his advantage; did you mean that Cossack was cornering? This is what I mean by a good Cossack pilot. Cossacks needn't be out in the open at all, and should never be in a knife-fighters line of fire. But I do agree that the Cossack is quite demanding as a capper.

hmmm Should be my own probelm since i cant see ur hangar or ur screenshot: mind if u tell me ur current hangar and ur league? But as a general rule based on what i saw in these posts, try getting a pinata patton. Just be sure to know ur covers. You can do serious damage with it (can blow up a hole on enemy health bar ) or u can try get a molot griffin as a suppressor support bot to keep those other meta build griffins away from u for a while. Cossack is a good beacon capper but with splash and plasma everywhere there is nowhere to hide for a fragile bot like cossack. Save for a galahad. u wont regret that Bots(lvl)- Weps(lvl) Leo(6)- 3xPinata(5)+Thunder(5) Griffin(6)-2xTulus(5)+2xPin(5) Patton(2)- 4xMolot(2xlv4, 2xlv3) Cossack(3)- Taran(4) League- Private(820 trophies) Just as a writing tip, the shorthand for your hangar is: 6/5 Piñata Thunder Leo 6/5 RDB Griffin 2/3.5 Molot Patton 3/4 Taran Cossack Cossacks shine when they hit level 8.

Thanks for rejecting my point by agreeing with it? I will put it in this way. For every Galahad I see, there are 3 Furies / 5 Griffins or 3 Lancelots. Fair enough. But PDB Galahads are still meta bots.

Heck dude that's not true. I haven't had a game without a Gally (excl me) yet... I said 'common'. Usually for every Gareth I see, I see another Galahad. Excluding me, you can usually see 2-3 Galahads in the lower Diamond and ~5 in Diamond 1. I see a whole lot less Galahads in Expert, probably because they get taken out by Trident Furies too fast. Thanks for rejecting my point by agreeing with it?

Completely forgot the Rhino. Orkan Magnum Rhino is a meta bot in Diamond 2 and 3. Agree. These are really strong and common.

Once again, you forgot the galahads. I played in all of those Leauges. Didn't see Galahad as a dominant or common bot there so I didn't put it there. Heck dude that's not true. I haven't had a game without a Gally (excl me) yet...
