Galahad is not very good in the current meta. The Lancelot is excellent. The top bots are Lancelot and haechi followed closely by bulgasari and Griffin. You could fill the whole hangar with any combination of those bots and do very well. Next up, is the niche bots that can occupy up to one slot without weakening the hangar. These are the Rogatka, carnage, Rhino, and kumiho. Finally, we have the bots that are playable but not strong enough to deserve a slot in higher leagues. These include the doc, butch, fury, fujin, and stalker. Some might place the Galahad here but I don't think it deserves a hangar slot at all right now. Just keep in mind that the meta changes frequently and you shouldn't try to plan too far ahead. Pixonic will read your mind and nerf whatever you are leveling up into oblivion (and then bring it back 7 months later). Excellent summary, noobcake. - Do you really consider a hangar with Carnage AND Rogatka weak? I run both in my Hangar in Expert (Android) and they are my favorite bots. - Do you consider non-Ancile Lance builds still top bots?

Thanks hon_shu. The niche bots add strength of one kind and weakness of another. The higher leagues tend to magnify what would otherwise be small differences in power. One bot is usually a good trade-off, two may or may not be, and three will almost always weaken your hangar. There are too many factors for me to make a judgement beyond that one will not weaken your hangar and three is usually too many. The Carnage and Rogatka are my favorite bots but I was not able to run both successfully. Strangely, I have found success running the Doc and Carnage despite being two niche bots. That said, you’ll see that very few top players run more than one niche bot. Your playstyle or mad skills might allow you to run two or you might not be at the level where it makes much difference. As for your second issue, the non-ancile lancelot is still a top bot for those who squad up and/or are on discord. This allows them to coordinate with other pilots to prepare the dreaded ancilot rush or at least pair up with an ancile partner. I wouldn’t recommend it for those who do not squad up. The mid-range rockets will take you out very quickly. Best of luck!
