So I've had a Destrier in my hangar for the whole of my time in Walking War Robots, but I think it's finally time to let the poor 'bot rest. Lately I just haven't been able to do anything with it; the already low hp gets cut by sniper fire and then I can't do much with with the ambush game.
I still want to be able to get beacons at the start of a match, so I want to replace it with a decently fast robot. My current next fastest robot has a current speed of merely thirty-nine kilometers per hour, which is painfully slow for a first bot (my Destrier's at fifty-two).
What suggestions can y'all give me for robots and loadouts that are on the faster end of the spectrum?
Thanks in advance!

Boas get fast quickly- they'll be your fastest non "premium" medium bot.
If you have WSP to spare and want something that is just an upgraded Destriers, she'll out the WSP for a stalker. If not, why not grab a Cossack?

Gareths and Stalkers are very popular these days, Gepards are a bit more rare but are usually found in DC and PP maps and usually found with aphids. Cossacks and Schutzes are very rare but do show up once in a while. Load outs vary depending on players' choice of role but usually some combo of light or medium weapon as determined by hardpoint: Piñata, Magnum, Aphid, Taran, Punisher, Molot, Gekko, etc... I personally have a plasma stalker, DB Gareth, and a plasma Gareth available in my hanger and this...  |

I'm in the same boat as you buddy. I still have to hang onto him because I'm trying to save resources for the griffins and weapon upgrades as I rushed my bots a bit. My Destrier is lvl 7 so he's moderately fast but squishy. I use him to cap 2 or 3 beacons, be as annoying as I can and get ahead in the beacon race on a match and sacrifice him to get the opposing team out of place hopefully before moving to my mid-range battles. I've been doing a lot of research and if you like that how you played with your Destrier, Stalker would be an upgraded bot of Destrier with many similarities but obviously faster and has the ability. Great for beacon capping and just being annoying/running in circles around the opponent. Boa isn't a bad option but playstyle will be slightly different with that big gun on his back and how you want to snipe or knife fight with it. If you've got the gold I believe Galahad or Gareth got a little more defending capabilities than just running around cap-cap-re-cap etc. My goal is to finish upgrading weps of my Griffin and Leo to a good spot while saving up for a Stalker. My gold is being saved for the 5th spot so I'm quite a far aways from getting the Galahad  Good luck. Hopefully this brings a different perspective. -IGN :Pilot Jamethon |

Thanks for all the advice everyone! I'm probably going to go with a Stalker to replace my Destrier as first robot.
Thanks!
