I've been hoarding gold for the 5th slot but am struggling to deal any damage with my hangar, so maybe I am on the wrong track? Here is what I have.  Should I save the gold or buy weapons [thereby generating more gold in the long run?] |

With those natasha in your hangar, no wonder you cant deal much damage. Save enought wsp to buy more taran and magnum, a pair of trident, tulumbas, pin and pinata.
These are proven build effective for your current state:
Taran/magnum griffin
Tulumbas/pin griffin
Thunder/magnum leo
Thunder/pinata leo
Trident/pin natasha
Molot and punisher are gaining fame as well, try punisher griffin, molot griffin, and thunder punisher leo.

Thanks.
I have a second LEO with Punishers and Thunder. The 2nd Natasha is fun and useful on some maps. They can survive by hanging back and deal damage for a long time. If we are winning they can help hold beacons by wearing down the reds as they close in. Some maps they achieve nothing.
I have a 2nd Griffin. Mix of Punishers and Pin/Pinatas/Talumbas.
A problem I'm having is closing thru the 500-400 range band. Some enemy bots are lethal at that range and I can't seem to get to my ideal range. Skill and terrain use are the areas to work on though.
I am saving for another magnum or maybe a Trebuchet - I like long range fighting. Perhaps that is holding me back.

These three are heavily used in mid-upper league. From what i see, you have trouble against midranger. Molot griffin is a good build to supress midranger and keep them away from you and your teammate, Trebuchet is also useful for hunting midranger. |

Thanks.
I have a lot of Molot in my inventory and will look at upgrading them then trying a Griffin Molot.
Already saving for a 2nd Trebuchet - but it takes time.
It seems you agree there is no need to save my gold for 5th slot yet. As is even if I get it I won't have high level weapons to arm the 5th robot.

Hey skarperd08, I think you're getting some good advice here so I hope this adds to it.
The shorter the weapons range, the higher the damage, so you need to a) get in close, b) have bots that can suck it up, and c) bots that can dish it out. This is why the Griffin is perpetually popular - Good damage, good HP and Jump to evacuate. 2 light and 2 medium weapons makes it versatile. Leo is a tank so it can also dish out the damage. So 5th slot is a no-brainer; say you've done 300k damage and you've meched out - 5th slot and you can drop in anouther bot and do some more. You'll also be able to choose a better bot for whatever happens to be going on in the match. It'll also do the most to help you earn gold. So save the gold and get that hurdle out the way, you'll never regret buying that 5th slot - promise.

As far as I am concerned, I am always getting slots before bots. Especially with the buff which make a lot of the silver weapons viable. |

As oakwhelie said, those Natashas are the reason your hangar isn't going much damage. Norricums and Kangs are no good and Nashorns are only good when you have 3 of them leveled on a Fury. Switch your first Natasha for Russian Griffin (Pins + Tulumbas). Also, DO NOT buy the Trebuchet until you have a total of 4x Tarans and 4x Magnums plus a Carnage. Trebs are simply not worth the time leveling unless you have a Butch or a Fury. |

For some reason I have two threads running on the same topic. Would be better to post to the other longer thread. Sorry mods. I started a thread but it disappeared right away now seems to be back!
