More tips: Dont sell anything that you have already upgraded. I sold my 2 Okrans (1 level 10 and 1 level 9) and replaced them with level 11/12 Tarens  You're just trolling, I hope. |

For what it's worth, a lot of the advice that has been given about upgrading tarans and magnums is definitely all good advice but somewhat less true than it used to be. The 3.1 upgrade buffed silver kinetic weapons so they do double damage against armor. Also, bypassing ANCILE might help you add to you dam total, but they do not help your teammates with devastating rockets take down the ancile that is protecting his 4 other teammates. Tarans and mags before bots? Sure, unless you want to run a thunder carnage. Mags before all else? No way. Not unless you want to run a stalker. PDB griff is a big dog in the lower tiers but pretty weak at higher tiers. Also, everyone runs pdb griffs. Why not instead buff your punishers and run a punisher griff? It will hold up much better than pdb's through the mid-tiers and you can actually hit huge scores against teams of interios players with it. True, but I'd still recommend building a PDB Griffin for those lower leagues. It takes some time to get to the leagues where it becomes inefficient, and a pair of Tarans will always have a place in a hangar, be it on a Taran Ancilot, a Dash or whatever. As for the Magnums, I'm not a big fan of upgrading only what you'll need "later", because the meta is changing constantly. Had I focused on "meta" stuff a year ago I'd be sitting on a high level Trident Fury... You can't avoid upgrading something that will be useless later, and Mags are really cheap to upgrade. You don't lose a lot by taking them to level 9-10. Plus, I like having a lot of somewhat upgraded stuff (say level 8) just to give it a spin now and then, as I like to try a lot of different configurations. |

I bought a Taran weapon with workshop points instead for my Fujin so now it has: lv1 taran,/lv5 orkan/lv5 tulumbas. I will still save up gold for the 4th slot and Carnage when I have enough workshop points. I like Carnage because it's the only F2P bot with 2 heavy weapon slots and it's mobile too. I did have lvl 6 punishers on my fujin but it just wasn't scratching the front of Lancelot so I sold it. Um, the only robots with 2 heavy weapon slots are Natasha, Carnage, Butch, Fury and Raijin, and the strongest bot in this group is IMO the Natasha which is free. (You can't really compare Natty with Carnage, you know, apples and oranges. But I do run a Natty and have a Carnage collecting dust.) You might want to read some advice about robots that is readily available in this forum. |

Thunder Carnage died too quick in a front knife fight, either get killed by Tarans or got too close to fight inside its ancile. It's more of a camper, waiting for a window to close in. So I dropped the bot due to its poor performance in higher league. As the League goes up people will always aware a Thunder Carny and take good plasma care of it. It's advantage is stay ranged and soak some fire from Trident or RDB and exchange shots to out reg other mid ranges. |

And Natty is fantastic in terms of bang for the money, too. 50 million silver and 14 days to get a Mk2 Natty, that's less than a level 12 Mk1 of pretty much every other robot.

I ended up using my credit card to buy Zeus and Orkan for my Raijin and Fujin the tables have turned. All of a sudden having premium weapons fills in the damage gap.
My Raijin with Zeus when in Bastion mode does 30% extra damage and bypasses energy shields at 600m and takes 5s to reload.
My Fujin with 2 orkans and taran will shred most bots in 1 volley, from full HP to either 10% HPor below.
I was on a crazy losing streak dropping from silver to bronze because all I had was silver weapons and it wasn't dealing enough damage to the enemies, but after spending $35 bucks I feel my account has received a power boost.
I don't know how to explain this, like having premium weapons turns the game into easy mode.

Seriously, why sell stuff ur upgraded? Well...when a better weapon comes, I sell what I don't use or isn't effective anymore. I bought griffin back because after watching several videos about griffin on Youtube I decided to do Punisher griffin or 2x Pinata/2xOrkan griffin and experiement which one suits me. |

Spend 100 times as much and you're Champion league material. |

Spend 100 times as much and you're Champion league material. Okay last match in Beacon Rush Canyon, my team steamrolled the enemy team, because I decided to put my 2 orkans on my Griffin, bought another 2 pinatas for the full CQC set and it was dealing monstrous damage to the enemy bots that came close to try to capture the center beacon and they had absolutely zero chance to fight back and was getting slaughtered one by one. After the battle I checked the whole enemy teams hanger only to see that none of them have a single premium weapon equipped and meanwhile on my team me and this other guy who had Leo with Zeus equipped on it was murdering the enemy team plus he was top damage too... It's obviously not fair and it's starting to kill the fun of the game now for the enemy team who has zero chance to fight back. A fight is supposed to be fair and when one guy is overpowered it's not a fight anymore. I was F2P for a long time but today I decide to cash in and it changes the game into easy mode, no skill, no challenge just who spends more money is more powerful. |

You should keep them. DO not think so short term. you might need them when you get your 4th and 5th slots. Things also get buffed and nerfed regularly in this game and having them around can be useful down the road. This is even more important as the selling price of things is WAY lower than the buying price. So you might regret it later when you want them again. |

I don't understand why people sell gold or wsp bots or anything they have improved for silver. It is so much fun to run different hangar permutations. And when pix decides to nerf the 2x buff on kinetics, you may wish you had those tarans (or whatever) you sold.

Dont sell nothing for silver because you cant know which one will be buffed put orkans on griff cos its better platform also get 2 tarans and 2 mags and build plasma death button griffin you should try rdb griffin (tulumbas/pin) dont upgrade raijin its not viable after silver league get that slots Because you will need them after silver league get a carny and use 2 thunders on it believe me its awesome punny griff is also awesome try and see but dont sell bots or weps for silver |
