I have one of each right now. I have 9500 scourge components and 8800 storm components. Which should I level? I'm not sure what they'll end up on. Storm probably a rog or lance with thunder. Scourge probably the rog. Maybe something to consider, I won't be focused on getting a 3rd or either. The way I get storm components in the BM for free spins, I'll have one in the near future. A 3rd scourge could take much longer. Option 3 is level a 5th taran instead.

Storm-thunder-taran lance would be a nightmare for plasma beacon runners.
My vote is storm.
Also I’m keen to run a storm Cossack.

You already have one of each? If you're going for the first of either and want it in your hanger now, I would recommend the scourge on a galahad with Molots or gekkos.
Trying to pair a storm on a two medium hard point bot might be hard to do effectively. If you are going for the pair like your post sounds you are, Lance with scourge sucks to deal with. (I would ditch my ancile for a Zeus if I ran this) I run ancile on my lances so couldn't vote for the storm/thunder. (Close range)
Really depends on your play style and what your hanger needs. If youre in your face knifer mentallity then storm would probably be better. If your hanger is lacking range then the scourge combo is really good. Wish I had another scourge.

Storm would not be as effective unless in pairs or trios. A single scourge might serve you better specially on a britbot. In pairs, it would depend on playstyle. Scourge gives you good reach but gets cross eyed at point blank. A pair of storms might serve you better if you prefer to brawl.
In my experience, for skilled players, scourge on a rog is good but better on shield bots for the not so initiated because you have to buy time for them to work. They play best on a kbot though. Storm works well on a rog or a doc paired with tulus/orks.

I already have one of each. I'll be getting another of each soon.
My current hangar is: Orkan Haechi, Orkan Thunder Lance, Ancilot, Zues Carnage, Taran Rog. Everything is 12 except the Zues which are 9/10. I had been running 12 Tempest on the Carnage but wanted to try something else.
I have a Galahad at 11, but I haven't used it in a few months. I'm not interest in using it much anymore. I could keep my Ancilot and replace the Orkans on the other Lance plus finish a Zues.
I'm sort of leaning toward the Storm, but I guess I'm afraid they'll suck. I keep wondering why I never see them in play.

Nice hanger. How does the thunder lance do for you?

Storms are great! I'd suggest deciding whether you want another mid-ranger or a brawler. Scourge is better for mid because a good player will just break your target lock up close. I no longer use my pair because mid just isn't my style. I have 4 storms, 3 are on a bulgasari. I plan on building 4x shotgun rhino when I get the 5th and 2 gust

Neither weapon are effective unless you run at least 2. 3 would be better, and when the Exorcist comes out, you can run 4!

I will stop collecting Storms on purpose when I have 9 of them. They'll be put on my three Bulgs whenever I have kill tasks to accomplish. I'll get my sixth Storm today when the daily deals get refreshed.
Storm turns the Bulg into a monster. It has to be used at very close range, but the damage output is tremendous.

I through a level 9 storm on a griffin, with my only 9 orkan and 2 9 pinatas. You unload all them on someone close up, and it's good night Gracie. And it keeps firing a big shot when the others are reloading. I like it.

I'm sort of leaning toward the Storm, but I guess I'm afraid they'll suck. I keep wondering why I never see them in play. hey bud. I think it depends on your playstyle and what you want to achieve out of it. If you want something different, change of pace, and experiment around then the storm. The safer bet would be either the taran or scourge. The storm is effective in my opinion in the middle range leagues like expert or below type of play. At the top, it just gets outshined easily and to close that gap on enemy reds and be really efficient with them is very difficult in terms of damage to death effectiveness. But it is a breath of fresh air and different and if you want to make it your own, then by all means. The scourge isn't as effective in pairs but more so of an annoying support weapon if you play it on something like the rog. It can be supportive if you team up correctly. Doesnt have the same punch as three and I wouldn't run it unless it was level 11 for you since you play at the top. If you run that setup I would really focus on soft targets like light bots or griffins or any bots without hard shields so you dont waste your time trying to break them. If you really want to get creative, a scourge gecko on a griffin has produced good results or even a double scourge zeus on a lance and play midrange with him. It's not the lance's forte in that setup but can work imo. I'm not too well versed with the hover but maybe even a scourge gecko setup on the hover ; ) Overall I'd rather have the scourges or tarans if I wanted to make an investment on my time, resources and weapon availability. To each person their own and good luck. My 0.02, see you out there on the battlefield bud. |

IDK about up top, but the most fun I have had on my Haechi in Diamond iOS is with 3 Storms. Scourge is an odd weapon and while, yes, it has that extra range... I didn't get what I wanted out of it unless I was close, where there damage is damned good. I don't like it as a midrange weapon, personally, because the damage just isn't great out there. Only in 3s would I do that, or MAYBE the Lance with Zeus... but like Jame-thon said, MR is not where the Lance shines brightest. The best thing about the Scourge is its anti-K-Bot property of not losing lock as long as you are looking at them. Bulg can shrug you off if driven by a good pilot, but Haechi is toast if your Scourges are leveled and you start shooting him as he comes into range until he gets close. I have learned to avoid Scourges in my Haechi and my Carnages. Storm is a quicker firing, smaller coned, medium Thunder. You know how to play that if you have played any Thunder bot. Both are quirky weapons. I would say Storm but only because of personal preference... I can't say it is better, per se, but I love the Way of the Shotty in War Robots. Think of it like this... 2 Storms is similar to 1 Thunder, maybe 1 and a 1/4. Anywhere you put two Storms you are adding that to the bot. Three is damn close to 2 Thunders. I love the Carnage Thunder build so that's why I like the Haechi Storm so much. It IS different than the Thunder, but if you are good with it you can transition to the Storm, easily. Just keep the target close (<100m is best) and love 'em with armloads of depleted uranium buckshot.  |
