If you don't have slot 5 you NEED slot 4. Slot 5 is important but I'm from the (unpopular) camp that you should have 4 sold bots first. By sold I don't mean gold/WSP bots just something serviceable I run 2 Thunder/Pinta Tosh, working on a Trident Tosh, and a DB Griffin (Also because of trial and error to find what I liked have a Aphid Patton, A pinta Leo, and 2 PDB Griffins). If you have 4 slots and any group of bots you are happy with go for slot 5.
Recap short and sweet: buy slot 4, then I would say a couple Orkins, then slot 5

5th slot, 2 Orkans, Galahad, 2 Orkans, Fury.
In that order.

5th slot, 2 Orkans, Galahad, 2 Orkans, Fury. In that order. Of course, if you're not spending RM, and play enough to earn average 70 Au/day (Task guarantee 60, plus a bit more from battles and 40 Au tasks, don't have to play every day for this even, since you can have 5 tasks), it will take you about 9 months of diligent playing to get this. So you need to consider if you're willing to stick to the plan for so long (it's a game!), or if you want Aphids or Gareth or something to play with sooner. |

Depends what else you have on stock - in case you have (unlikely) 3 aphids laying around, gep could be an option.

Thank you all for your answers. I will go with orkan.
I have plazmahad, magnum-taran-aphid Griffin, thunder magnum leo, and tulumbas pinata Griffin in my hangar. I think the best option for orkan is TP Griffin, right?
I don't agree with most of you about 5th slot. In %90 of my games, i survive untill the end of it. There is no point spending 5k gold for an extra slot i think. Plus, if you have it; you will have an unnecessary courage and jump into the enemy lines, resulting with quick death.
I will open 5th slot after orkans and lancelot.

I will open 5th slot after orkans and lancelot. Slots before bots. if you are surviving to long you aren't doing max damage. Also having a mid or long range in the hanger can be useful. Most clans won't let you in without 5th slot. |

Also you can consider the 5th spot as an instant teleport back to spawn if you are needed there.

You are not playing agressively enough if you hardly ever mech out. The other thing is that a 5th slot gives you more flexibility, to carry another robot for a different role. I would love to have 8 slots: #1 beacon capper, #2 Trident Fury, #3 orkan knifer, #4 plasma knifer, #5 ambush (Thunder Carnage) #6 another Orkan or plasma knifer, #7 anti-midrange (Molot Griff, Nashorn Fury), #8 Zeus Carnage. |

So you need to consider if you're willing to stick to the plan for so long (it's a game!), or if you want Aphids or Gareth or something to play with sooner. This. So much this. It's easy to say 5th slot comes first, but it costs 5'000 gold and when you are an entry/mid level player, it's simply out of reach.
You'd spend months getting massacred by Gareths of the world, accumulating money at a slower rate than your opponents.
Should you get slot 4 as a priority ? Yes. Slot 5 can wait that you acquire some decent robots and weapons though.
I'd personally say : 4th slot, Gareth (is massively superior to all bots you will find at entry/mid-level), Orkan in that order.
The Gareth will help you tremendously to get gold, and give you access to a Galahad later on.
Then only you should start accumulating gold for slot 5.
Slot 4 -> Gareth -> 2 * Orkans -> Galahad -> 5th slot

Slot 5 is just as important for versatility in your hanger as it is longevity. There is NO better investment in Au than slots. IMHO.

I have a hanger full of silver bots with some nice toys but always wishing I had that bot that isn't in my hanger. I'm saving for #5 now as soon as my dailys are completed I'll be right at 1k. Only took about a week or so to get the 1k ...then again I'm a War Robots junkie. |

This was my AU purchase list on the iOS and I didn't regret a thing:
1) 4th slot
2) Orkan x2
3) Working on 5th slot

Save the daily's and play enough games to make 100 au every day and the 5th slot will be over in less than 2 months

Slots are most useful. Orkans are the best first gold weapons to acquire by far. The gareth is generally superior to the gepard currently. The Zeus is a good weapon but usually best used in groups (or with a bunch of gekkos on a leo).

My average damage is 400k. I think its not bad. No, it isn't. But I see a lot of players racking up damage standing back in a Trident Fury, not ever joining the fray even if the domination bar ticks down and we're behind in beacons. Obviously I can't judge your playing style, but there are a lot of situations where you have to sacrifice a robot to take out a specific threat, or take a beacon that needs to be captured. If I play solo, I find that my success rate is much higher if I run 5 knife fighters than if I run (and start with) two midrangers, as way too many players are playing that relaxed midrange already. |

You may also be forced to do particular things by your compatriots. I was in shenzhen with a DB griffin. Started the game and was heading down the side to flank their home beacon. A plasma leo beside me gets to the halfway point and turns off towards centre beacon. I am 'not' going to leave a compatriot hanging in that situation, no matter how foolhardy. I Jumped into the fray (literally, only way I could get close enough quick enough to be a decent help). We killed off three reds and got the centre beacon but I was down a bot at about the minute mark. |

One can ignore it, but its a mistake, and by the time you realize it, you may not have any gold. Its a lot, takes a while, but really a need. |

5th slot, 2 Orkans, Galahad, 2 Orkans, Fury. In that order. Of course, if you're not spending RM, and play enough to earn average 70 Au/day (Task guarantee 60, plus a bit more from battles and 40 Au tasks, don't have to play every day for this even, since you can have 5 tasks), it will take you about 9 months of diligent playing to get this. So you need to consider if you're willing to stick to the plan for so long (it's a game!), or if you want Aphids or Gareth or something to play with sooner. In less than 4 months of playing I already have enough gold to complete buying all of that, although I'm sitting on 8k of it until I have room in my upgrade queue for new bots (Galahad and Lance/Fury). I did buy the orkans and also some aphids, because those are immediately useful even on base level 6 griffins. I haven't spent anything on this game and got my 5th slot in less than 30 days. You get tons of bonus gold as you level up on the way to level 30... just about enough to make 5 slots achievable (I got my 5th at level 29). Of course the Au bonuses slow down after reaching level 30, but hopefully you'll have what you need to be competitive for Au match prizes by that point. I'm not sure how having 5 slots affects long-term Au winnings under either the current MM (because I had 5 slots before this version came out) or upcoming league system (because no one really knows except maybe Pixonic), but I can't imagine it will ever be easier to earn Au with fewer slots available - especially during seasonal/holiday events when damage is the primary factor in earning bonus prizes. Meanwhile, WSP offer plenty of new and useful capabilities to each of your hangar slots. |

I am really confused about that. I have 1,2k gold and don't have any of theese bots and weapons. How should i spend my gold? I have a plasmahad and magnum-taran griffin on my hangar bay the way. It would've been helpful if you also posted a picture of your hangar for us to see. so, you don't have -any- gold bots/weapons yet? back in my day, I bought two gepards, two aphids, one gareth, and two orkans *before* my 5th slot. and maybe the third aphid, too, but not so sure about that. it helped get me to that fifth slot because it gave me a sharp advantage against the people i was playing with (back in Dec when i was going for my 5th slot). I understand why people think its important, but in the earlier half of the game, there is no variability like "I need 3 knifes and two mid-range to be competitive", you basically just use all knife fighters/beacon cappers. then once you hit a higher level, you change them all out for either 1) Trident Furies, or 2) for things that can survive against Trident Furies. having only 4 slots helps you focus on just leveling the same 4 to a higher level, again making you more competitive & more likely to win gold, and once you get the fifth you'll actually have something worth while to put it in. gotta say, getting a few of the gold bots/weapons doesn't *prevent* you from eventually getting the 5th slot, so I'd tell you to start with either the orkan or aphid, and get two, because weapons are still more important than bots. i have many bots that i'm currently not using, but my main WSP & gold weapons are always equipped. next tip, don't get the Gepard, they really lose effectiveness quickly these days. i haven't used mine for a while, i now use a gareth & stalker for beacon capping. |
