I'm thinking of lvling up some tulumbas because even at lvl 5 they can take away a big chunk of a Leo or Griffins health.
How are lvl 9+ tulumbas? Do they do a lot of damage?
Also I always wondered, does the damage of a tulumbas decrease when you get in the 300 meter range?
Thanks for responding!

Tulumbas can be deadly when the pilot uses good target selection, accurate shooting, range knowledge, and teamwork, mainly in the following combinations:
- Tulumba Pin Griffin (aka Russian Death Button) - Triple Tulumbas on Fujin, Haechi, or Bulgasari - Quad Tulumba Doc
It will also depend on the level comparison between your weapon and the target. Generally speaking, two Tulumbas alone, such as on Rogatka or Kamiho, are going to only widdle away hp, so they are principally an assist weapon as mere dual load-out. After trying many combos, I no longer run dual Tulumbas stand alone, it just isn’t that useful. I always use one of the three mentioned above. I just want to note here that Tulumbas, Pins, and Tridents are the biggest problem for Bulgasari, and since many Bulg are starting to carry Shocktrain and that load-out is priority target numero uno, these rocket load-outs are definitely upgrade worthy.

They are deadly against some bots and can’t do anything against ancile bots , bots like Gareth,Galahad,bulgasari which is hard to kill with help of plasma can be easily killed by rdb or any other Tulu setup..I have rdb with lvl 10 Tulu and puns and I love killing those Gareth in almost one shot although some health usually lefts and Galahad’s in 2 shots..they work gr8 against ancile bots too once ancile is down however keeping distance 400-500 and avoiding zues and tridents could be little tricky..mostly I believe zues are worst mid ranger for them , unless they are in your weap range and you could hide after unloading never do 1vs 1 against em

I use a quad Tulu doc with level 10's mounted in Expert 2/3. It's a decent mech, but requires good target selection as mentioned above. I need to take them to 11, though. They're only good to whittle guys down at level 10. Getting them even to 11 would be a big help.

I just replaced my RDB griff with a plasma griff. There are simply too many anciles now. Tulus can be useful against anciles if you have a team mate who is aware of you draining the shield and is ready to take advantage of it. Meaning if you drain the shield while your team mate is reloading, the shield will recharge too. That is an extraordinary amount of team mate to expect from random players usually. If the team mate turns and shoots the other way, you wasted your time, rockets, and maybe your bot too.

You know what works better than two or three Tulus? Let's say five of them plus two Pins;) I teamed up with this guy in his RDB and we killed red after red for like three minutes on their spawn, both enjoying my Ancile. Boy, this was ?fluffy bunny?ing great. Two Tulus on Rog won't do much. On Fujin 3* they're alright. But I guess they're most fun if you team up with another Tulu guy or 3* Tulus on a kbot.

To piggy back on ѻﻭɼﻉ's excellent post. I have run both the RDB Griffin and the Tulu Doc. Here are some important quirks. The Tulumbas Griffin has the best burst and mobility of the bunch. The first 2 seconds of fire are absolutely deadly. This allows the RDB Griffin to deal a good deal of damage with very minimal exposure to counter fire. The major weakness of the RDB Griffin is longer range plasma (Zeus, shocktrain, scourge, treb) and ancile shields. The Tulu Doc has poor burst but excellent sustained damage. The major advantage of this setup is that the splash radius and the docs faster speed allow for low risk cornershooting while retreating. The sustained damage output works well in these situations but also, with enough time, even a same-level-ancilot can be taken down (with enough time). They both have their advantages but like Zoskia said, good target selection, accurate shooting, range knowledge, and teamwork are required. YMMV

I think an RDB Griff still a versatile setup. sure there are a lot of Anciles these days. but often I still have at least one random fellow RDB, who is willing to shoot at Ancile alternatively with me, i.e. me shoot the Ancile you do the damage for the first target, you shoot the RDB and I do the damage for the next target, and so on, in maps like Canyon and Springfiled. an Ancilot can be taken care of by two RDB Griffs somewhat coordinated. you can also work with an Thunder, Punisher, Tempest, or DB setup teammates against Anciles. successful collaborations with random teammates without verbal communication always makes me feel great, an RDB Griff can be a good closing bot with the range, the splash, and the jump. here are a couple example of recent RDB Griff plays. bot level 10 and weapon levels all 11 at master2@ios. closing a Beacon Rush battle at Springfield: link to the video (720p)closing a Domination battle at Dead City. here, thanks to the RDB Griff, I completed a "capture four beacons in a single battle" task and almost finished a "kill four robots in a single battle" task. if the RDB Griff had shot the dying Leo during the jump around 1:38 (in-game timer), I would have finished two daily tasks of 80Au worth in one battle (85Au considering the most beacon capped reward ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) : link to the video (720p)

RDB Griffin, it's Grrrreat! Sometimes my prime money maker when my bots mech out in 2 minutes. Then I need this guy to last the rest of the match.

Tulumbas are great, but they aren't good at higher levels where you'll frequently look around and see no targets without an Ancile shield. They don't offer enough damage to burst down Anciles unlike the Orkans.

They don't offer enough damage to burst down Anciles unlike the Orkans. I still used mine even in champion league lol. I haven't encountered a situation where every enemy is using ancile. I have a little over 3000 battle victories so I've played my fair share of battles and there is always someone for me to target that doesn't have ancile. Many times I tried switching it out for a PDB or another DB, but in battle there are so many situations where I wished I had my RDB with me to kill fury snipers. It only takes two volleys to kill one for me most of the time. In experts and masters you won't see a single battle without someone using an RDB. There are still many low champions that use it as well. I know looking at the legends charts isn't reassuring because it seems like all people run are kbots and ancilots, but there are many low champions such as myself who can't spend loads on this game so we are still using griffins, leos, and natashas. The forum chat makes it seem like every match in champion is dominated by some whale using max mk2 hangars who rack up 3m damage which isn't necessarily the case.

I played two games today where I had no targets on Android when I run with my squad. Ancilot, Haechi and Carnage spam is real. When I run solo I have a lot more success. I don't have a problem if the OP wants to level Tulumbas, I did say they were great and the RDB is a good robot. But it went from being one of the meta robots to a very situational robot very quickly. But he probably has other things he can focus his upgrades on that will serve him more generally in the future.

RDB Griffin isn’t as good as before, there are couple reasons 1. 5% damage nerf few updates ago 2. Dash ability may dodge your whole or half salvo 3. More Ancile bot 4. Shocktrain, Zeus, Tempest deal more damage or more range. They kill RDB Griffin very fast.
I am not saying RDB Griffin is useless, sometimes it is good when you spot a red Bulgasari or Lancelot and there aren’t any Zeus/Shocktrain/Tempest aiming at you. Sometimes it is bad every red have Ancile or there are 2-3 red running Zeus/Shocktrain/Tempest. I am still running a 10/12 RDB iOS Champions League, I think it is just ok. If I can swap this with 10/12 Zeus/Shocktrain/Tempest setup, I will swap it immediately.

Yeah I'm on android as well. And yes, I found that squad matches are generally harder for me, but when I solo, I can rack up a lot of damage.
