State of my hangar:  Are grinding for a Galahad, a Fury, and need to get at least two more tarans and two more magnums... Currently I'm targeting for a Plasma Galahad to replace Boa and to get the Griff on PDB state. |

For some reason I can't see the pic but I would definitely have at least four (maybe six) Tarans and Magnums and then get the Galahad.

Seems a bit heavy on plasma and light on splash. I'd consider aiming for DB Griffin instead of PDB.

PDB is easier for my Au. I also enjoy plasma more.

Then I think you would greatly benefit by joining a clan (hint, nudge, ahem) so that you can call a teammate over when you run into shield bots (when you aren't running your Carnage, of course).

You forgot to mention the Rhino. And I won't be voice chatting regardless.
My Au production tanked; the lack of event chests and christmas holiday is the cause. With hardly anything to upgrade, I plan to get the Taran/Mag on Gareth to level 10.

What he means by this is join the WIKI family, who will have your back whether you tell them to or not. In-game IQ. Heck, I've jumped straight Center beacon without taking a hit heaps of times, and I've had team-mates waltz in a shield bot through the middle of the map without taking damage, because it's no longer a 1v6. let the average player's skill be 10. You think I'm gonna say, squadding with wiki is like 15+12+13+12+15+13 vs 10+10+10+10+10+10 (80 vs 60), but no, it's more like 5x2x3x2x5x3 vs 1+1+1+1+1+1 (900 vs 6). Having good team mates multiplies how good each individual is. Plus, squadding with me = less rockets in your face. |

I'll think about getting a clan. Don't want to be pressured to play more(not by their intention). Not sure how timezone stacks up. Also even less Au than usual   ps i play in android but that is obivious |

Whoops, how could I forget the Rhino? I run that same config.
Man, those Cossacks always be poaching. :-P
We encourage but do not require voice, for what it's worth (we're pretty new to voice ourselves). Still, it would be harder to call for help without it, of course. You can always disengage, but that might leave your team's flank undefended.

The difference is EVERYONE in WIKI wants you, can't guarantee you'll be welcomed in DOOM. |

In the end I don't think I'll be getting a clan anytime soon.
6xx Au before Gala! Been longing for it. Hopefully it feels like having a second life with gareth.

Update:  At last! I got the Galahad! Still very clean, hasn't used it in actual combat. Will be at level 2. Upgrading it to level 6. After this, I am probably getting a Fury. Not sure what I should replace Vityaz with. Fujin after buff with Tarans seem interesting. |

Congrats! I love my Galahad (plasma); love the Fury, too!
I think you definitely need a Griff.

Galahad is underperforming but...it's level 2... what can i expect? Still liking Gareth better atm, but I'm more either Long-range or speed, so yeah. Feeling the Gareth speed buff BLYTHEThanks! How is the Griffin's playstyle with PDB and DB? I have only used Gunship and RDB with it. If it's Ambush it isn't my playstyle. Already considering replacing Rhino already; after Vityaz and Carnage replaced that is. xserranxThanks, also! I think I will, just not now. |

Well, if you change your mind about joining a clan, you would be welcomed at Aurora Nova [AurN]. Discord required, but we don't always run with voice comms (did a bunch this morning without).
I've tried both PDB and DB Griffins, and I think DB Griffins are much, much better. I feel like the Griffin too squishy to use plasma as effectively as the shield bots, so I'm aiming to replace mine with a Plasmahad eventually. I also don't aim well enough to consistently hit while I'm in mid-air. I don't really play ambush style either, but you don't really have to play it that way, at least in High Silver. I would mostly walk around shooting a Pinata or a small Orkan burst here and there. If I see them hit solidly, I fire more, and only use the jump to get away. If I happen to surprise someone, great, but I basically just treat it as a bot that has more firepower (in the short term) than pretty much anything else.
Probably not ideal, but that worked for me with Quad-Pinata Pattons better than using the red button.

I hope my disruption will do actual good after new mm. That feeling when you get into behind enemy lines, but other beacons still gets overtaken. Then you die. Still not interested in a clan though. On other news, no Fujin for me. Most said it was slow. Not gonna put something slow. On the other hand, interested in Ancilot. But it's the least of my priorities. Like Fujin before me. Attempting for Fury->  for Au purchases. But by the time I have 5000 Au I believe I will find something to buy. Going Trident->Save up according to what I want. Likely PDB Griff. Or plasmahad. tl;dr I don't actually know what I want. |

Replaced Vityaz with Pinata Thunder Leo. I can take a 6 kmh decrease for the firepower and armor. Especially since the rest of my hangar is filled with speedsters.
Replaced Carnage with Trident/CRV Pin Natasha. It'll be a bomb.
Galahad now at level 4, 5 in two hours.
I worry that if the new MM comes and uses equal levels in MM, I would see 10/10 bots.

^That's off topic. But I like the update.  Switched out some things and leveling Galahad to 8 right now, then the newly bought Tarans to 8, then Griffin to 8. By then I should have obtained new toys. Off topic, it was an old griffin I upgraded to 7, thinking it was the better thing to do. Haven't used that in a long while. I decided not to get TTFury first because of the Ancile update. So my next target is another Plasma Galahad. |
