GARETH SQUAD BOIIII!! I used galahad on the test server in several different scenarios, but i was underwhelmed by it. Gareth on the other hand could run to beacons fasters, has just one less light hardpoint, and with that rumored galahad and lacelot shield nerf, gareth is a fast, strong, and very capable light bot that can outrun missles unless the enemy piolot trains their shots to predict where the gary will move next. Gareth is also very underrated and suprises any robot that tries to take it on with its durability. For me at least, gareth is what i have been looking for.
However, it is hard to decide between the best light bot and argueable the strongest medium bot

Galahad and Lancelot shield nerf are real not a rumor. I have a Gareth and 2 Galahads. Decided to run a Gareth (Orkan Mag) and it took me one and a half minutes to kill a Raijin. Galahads, on the other hand eats everything up. Galahad can also outrun orkan rockets. The only reason Galahads are generally better than Gareths is because they don't get 1 shotted by MRS

The only reason Galahads are generally better than Gareths is because they don't get 1 shotted by MRS Use plasma gareth with both mag and taran for maximum performance. I bet it still would take at least a minute with a loadout like that with a galahad to kill a friking rajin? of course it will take forever to kill a rajin, and if it is in bastion mode, you need a few team mates just to take in down in reasonable time. Gareth can also outrun orkan rockets, and other rockets if used correctly. Most get one-shotted by whatever a MRS is what the hell is an MRS?

I do not like plasma Gareth. You have to exposed for a really long time and your shield will break easily. It takes me about about 30 seconds to kill a Raijin without the shield up and about 45 seconds to kill one without the shield.

it's All about the strength and weakness of the robot. Put up its strength, mitigate the weakness of the robot . Every bot have their own strength and weakness

It takes longer for robots to turn around as legs no longer have a "ball and socket" type of mechanism but more of a hinged mechanism. On robots like the Boa, it's more prevalent than on the Galahad, but still noticeable with the Galahad.

Not that i try to dodge orkan rockets because i would rather help my team by working out an orkan pilot's missiles then try to dodge.

That must be embarrasing...

Then when the orkans hit 299m go backwards to avoid them. I do that all the time
Note it doesn't work for slow bots

The point is to take the rockets so the orkan pilot is weak and cannot attack so my team can take him out. also the splash damage would hit my team if they were right behind me

Lol nah man I don't take things like that personal but thanks for considering it. To answer your question quickly so I don't jack the op but to show the point I was making with my response: In summary the Gareth isn't a horrible option. Like any other bot, play to its strengths and you'll be alright. yup its not a horrible bot, just not enough fire power and Hp in my tier. i still use my gareth if i have some light bot task but after finishing the daily task i bring back my Galas. do you have plan to upgrade your weapons to level 11 or 12? Unfortunately yes, I did. Immediately after 11 taran I've started getting matched against maxed hangars in consecutive games. Idk if it's a coincidence or my win rate getting to that point but I've since started experimenting with different weapon lvls on the same lvl 9 gareths in hopes of finding a sweet spot somewhere.

Vs max hangars i think it is already time to use some medium and heavy bots.

That's what my gut tells me but tbh man I like playing the light bots even if it means getting hammered by some maxed hangars. That's not to say that I won't experiment to find what works for me though regarding my weapon lvl choice because I prefer the agility, speed, and shield of the lvl 9 Gareth. But you are 100% correct and I confess that a pure gareth hangar isn't for everyone.

Nope, I've played them on the test server but wasn't impressed enough to get one. I've just been experimenting with these for now. If I can figure out how to play a niche with the gareth I'd probably build a gold hangar shortly after.

Hehehe, I just encountered a orkan/pinata Galahad with my plasma Gareth. Ok, he killed me, but lost his shield and more than half of his lifepoints. If that darn red Leo woundn't have layed down suppressing fire, I would have tilted the Galahad. Ok, he fell prey to my Leo, shortly after that, but that was a fine duel.

Ok:
Gareth is a beacon capper for the Camelot
Galahad is a fighter for the Camelot
Lancelot is a defensive for the Camelot
They're 3 nice shield bots Gareth, Galahad, Lancelot. They're 3 version
Capper Fighter Defensive/defender
Pick your choice

Galahad is also a capper.

It is what it is. a special weapon isn't going to make it a special bot. Let it be great in its own mediocrity. I have had a lot of fun playing destriers when we had low tiers. but I didn't expect much out of them.
