Need a little help to choose a path.

A few quick tips:

1. Always level weapons over bots. Keep weapons 2 levels over bot level.
2. Upgrade your hangar evenly, i.e. make sure all the weapons of all the bots are near equal in terms of average level.
3. Try not to let the heavier bot stick out like a sore thumb. The game matchmake you based on your "heaviest" bot, in this case is your Griffin.
4. Keep your WSP (Workshop Points) for weapons first, not bots. Try to obtain minimum of 4x Tarans and 4x Magnums before considering WSP bots.
5. Always ask questions and advice. We are all here to help.

First thing I'd recommend is pulling that Griffin. It's putting you into a higher category that you medium robots don't fit as well in. Get the other 3 into the 6/4 range and then pick up someone to fill that gap. I'd also recommend another medium instead of a heavy. A Boa would be nice to at least try it out, if nothing else. Get around and try out other bots to see what might fit your fighting style. But the Boa is what it looks like. A walking tank. You can also double up on another Vityaz, Golem, or Patton, but toss some different weapons on them. Looks like you could use some rocket practice, so toss a couple Pinatas or PINs on them and start messing with firing ranges and such. Have fun with it all.

Like previous posters said drop the Griff for now as it's dragging you up tier wise.

I would personally go:

2x Vitz (lvl 4) with Thunder (lvl 7) & Pinatas (lvl 6)

1 Patton (lvl 4) with 4 CRV Pins (2 @ lvl 7 and 2 @ lvl 6)

1 Boa (lvl 4) with Thunder (lvl 6) and 1 taran (level 7)

Once you unlock 5th slot build another Boa (same weapons combo)

This hangar gives you a solid set of knife fighters and a single mid ranger. Later you can use all the weapons for top tier. Spirals, molots and punishers have very limited long term viability in top tier right now. Best to spend resources on what you'll use later on.

I'm partial to the Thunder pinata build. You'll want to pop out, blast the red and get back behind cover. If they chase after you smash them with the Thunder at point blank range.

If you like the golem, you can certainly keep it. It comes down to higher HP vs higher dps. I personally liked having the higher HP (at lower levels) of the Vitz over the slightly higher damage output of the Golem. Upper tiers a 10k HP difference wouldn't mean much. But silver tier(s) where wep damage is significantly lower, (I think) more HP is a bigger advantage (imo).

try to focus on what Tier you belong, i suggest you to set your robot up to Low Bronze (tier3) wich allows LightBot lv1 equipped with average 8 (Es. Cossack with Taran lv8 / Gepard with 3x Magnum or Pinata 8/8/8) and medBots lv1 equipped 6 (Es. Vityaz equipped 2x Pinata 6/6 and a Thunder 6 or a lv1 Boa with Thunder lv6 and Taran lv6) where any HeavyBot is slower than any other bot, and where lightbots are extremely aggressive there

Low Bronze is the first place where farm Gold to prepare your next tier lineup (Silver or Gold tier). try to make an hangar with a capper, 3 damage dealers and a supporter (Lv1 Patton with Crv Pin 6/6/6/6 is the best choice to support on mid range)

Glad it's working for you. Just remember, save save save for your 5th slot. That extra bot will determine whether you win or lose a match quite a bit.

Just wanted to show the improvement of your suggestions :-)





Again, thanks!

I feel that I should back up a moment and add that my comments about the Griffin were based on what I would do for myself. Always play what makes you happy. My suggestion was based on the fact that if you have a heavy and a medium 'bot with the same level with weapons of the same level, the Matchmaking system will base your hangar on the heavy bot. This could put you in a fight where your heavy fits in, but that your mediums are outclassed. This isn't a guarantee, but it's likely to happen.

This exact effect almost ruined my game after about 6 months (put way too much into a Griff and not much else). A balanced hanger is essential, but you must keep in mind that heavy robots count more than medium robots. For example, a level 6 Griffin (heavy) is about on par with a level 8 or 9 Golem (medium). I learned to put my highest level guns onto my medium bots in order to get more 'even' matchmaking.

Molots on a griffin is like throwing pebbles at a wall. Get something that packs more damage, I noticed you have wsp weapons, get some more mags and tarans. the range is smaller, but like you said, you like to play aggressive, so how about knife fighting? or if you want to keep a medium range,

try a CRV Pin + Tulumbas RDB
