Ex-clubber Lancelot hangar advise

In my limited perspective, I only have 1 mid range. Thinking of switching to two, but they just won't do well in close maps.

So I would say that you shouldn't switch out a lancelot for another mid range bot. If you need a runner, Galahad runs at 50km and has a shield. Corner shooting makes him excellent at harassing and keeping positions. I just played a game where I took an undefended side beacon and kept it from a db griffin, then a plasma griffin joined in, and then another did. 3 v 1 on a corner shooting beast, the stand off would have been shorter if db griffin jumped right at me instead of trying to get me at the corner. I would have ran, lol. Instead the plasma griffin jumped in, I backed off shooting the plasma griffin while anticipating a braver db griffin and game ended on a win. There was a red hydra griffin above me too, sad for the reds.

A db griffin is my other recommendation, it's the best ambush bot around. There are many maps with walls and obstacles. It feels so good to jump and get an unsuspecting Galahad or Lancelot which is otherwise occupied with another blue.

2 hydras and 2 spirals, or 4 hydras?  Slow or fast?  

If you try this route, I would go 4x hydra doc all day long.  It seems like a classic min-max setup... you've got enough speed to stay behind cover and collect damage constantly.  There will always be someone you can hit.   

With your current hangar, the addition of a Hydra Doc would probably not be good. Though the Doc is mobile, with Hydras it still has to hang back since the 48K damage it deals simply isn't high enough to stop even a half dead L12 heavy or a L12 Galahad --- so the speed doesn't really factor in that much.

Coupled with the Trident Fury, you'd have 2 bits that need to hangs back and I don't think that's the direction you wanted.

If I had to replace one Fury, I put in its place a Tul/Tul Doc (or Orkan/Tul Doc). The Doc became a serious giant killer when its HP and speed was buffed, as even a direct DB salvo won't kill it outright (not that you'd allow this to occur considering the Doc's speed). Most pilots have not realized how flexible and deadly a Tul Doc is, as they still consider it a fragile bot (which was widely the opinion when it first was introduced in test). While you might think the Tul Doc is over doing your mid-range due to your TT Fury, the Tul Doc is not strictly a mid-range support bot. At 160K (L12) every 22 or so seconds within 500m (slightly longer if you add splash radius), the Tul Doc covers the roles of close support bot and power runner also --- which gives it similar utility to a Plasma Gal.

Since you will be keeping 2 Lancelots, the Tul Doc is the choice that will add speed and versatility to your hangar. The choice of the Galahad is okay, but IMO the Tul Doc has more situational utility.

So far it's been okay, got a doc and lvled some tulumbas. The playstyle is different but it really is versatile.

Not doing DB style but a hit and run, beacon runner. It survives pretty well compared to a Jesse.

Good set up but I notice your current hangar is a little bit too slow.

I cannot tell you what to do with your hangar, it is important to play with what you enjoy the most (or win the most)

I advise you to try to have only one long range bot, you should choose between either your Butch or Fury. (I personally would go with 4x treb Butch for maximum burst damage)

I also do have a doc but I find it to be quite lacking in the survivability department, so take care with the doc, don't expect him to survive too long after making several volleys. Firepower is insane on doc, regardless.

I find this type of hangar to work the best for me.

• Knifer  - ie: Lancelot, Rhino, carnage, galahad
• Knifer - same as above
• Knifer - same as above
• Medium ranger - ie: Tulu Doc, RDB griffin
• Long ranger - ie: Fury, Butch, etc

my $0.02

I love my doc. Won him on a chest lvl 12 tulus combined with lvl 12 okrans mid support and brawler. Would add more of him if we're available.
