Hangar help: A sealclubber's new year's resolution

yup that's strayed alright XD.

Whoops, meant two db griffs. Thanks for the catch.

Lol come to think of it, when it comes to Tridents at midrange, unless you're inside of an energy shield and out of range, your bot will get damaged. In fact my clan and I have taken out clubbers with with trident carnies and furies if that serves as proof.

Answering Q1: Gala has a shield sure. But that only protects front blasting plasma shots. That shield will break after sustaining an amount of damage. Rockets and missiles (minus hydra and spiral) have splash and will go through the shield. Not to mention, the way Thunders spread as they increase in range, will still damage your bot.

Answering Q2: At 58kph and I think 85k hp, in higher tiers, where shield bots dominate, you're likely to get destroyed easily, sometimes even by a stalker (if the pilot is skilled enough). Gepards are without shields or special abilities, in higher tier's it's about as useful as running around with a big "kick me" sign

Question 1. Unlike the lower tiers where you can fulfil most roles with one bot (which the Gepard excels at) once you start climbing, you realise that is not the case. Yes there are occasional moments where one bot fits all, and the Galahad comes close, but it is certainly not tue be all end all. You will notice a vague sensation of a 'paper scissors rock' effect beginning somewhere in silver, and moreso higher up. While many consider the Galahad to be the most versatile bot, it is not without its weaknesses. Other bots the Galahad will commonly encounter will be similar in their high resistance to x, but vulnerable to y aspect. So while some pilots run 1-2 chassis hangars, for what I'd assume squad play factors or preference, the more common approach would be a few knifers, a capper and a support (sniper or midrange, or both) because a match can change at any given moment. So you will need/may want other bots that are more task specific

Question 2. Kinda, sorta, not really. Yes they're still useable, albeit plain and a bit squishy. Still run as many as you can while you're working your new hangar, they will help, but progressing through Silver is where their shine, begins to fade. You will be wowed by what certain pilots can do with their preferred setup, and you with your own. Don't ditch them (all) just yet.

So start by throwing whatever you have on that Galahad and Rhino (get them to 6 at least) and play around from there.

Definately get a Griffon or two, and whatever other heavy or wsp bot you have kicking around that will carry the weapons you own.

Good luck, welcome to the fun side!

Keep the Gepards. You can always fall back on them for raising gold.... Your higher tier play will come with a learning curve.

Save up for Orkans and Tarans, 4 of each that you'll level up is a good baseline. Plus mags, pinatas and now aphids to match.

Add two Griffins. They're cheap, incredibly versatile, and you'll use them forever because they're first line bots all the way to Top.

I love mine as well. I used it only in specific circumstances in mid-Silver and dropped it altogether in High. Note, although I love how fun it is, I'm not particularly good with it.

I keep telling myself to buy a Galahad (seen players with three in one hangar) but whenever I go up against one I find them easy to take out...

Personally, I have the best games with the Plasmahad and the Orkaphahad variants. But the Taraphahad and the Splashahad are both good, too. Plasmahad is the baseline for all my Galahad variants though, it's a mean mammajamma.
