I recently got 2 component items: a Scourge and a Strider. On the same day. I really need to know which one to level first. And to what level? Silver isn't an issue. I have 43 million stocked up. I don't have an active bot to place my Scourge (singular) on. If it helps, my hangar, league, etc is displayed below. Please note I won't be changing these bots for a long while.  |

If you don't have a bot to run the Scourge on then I would concentrate on the Strider. I have one Scourge at lvl 7 and it does a lot of damage even at that level, but the second one is still sitting at 1 waiting to be leveled before it can be useful in gameplay. I faced a Scourge Ancilot recently and my 6/6 Zeus Fury was taking a beating. A Zeus/Scourge Strider could be fun, or an Ancile/Scourge Strider. Hmmm... How close am I to a Strider? When I get one I might try one of those or a shotgun setup. I always get more excited with a new bot than I do with a new weapon, and the bots you know you at least need to get to lvl 9 to max out speed.

I would do the Scourge first and level it to at least 6 and slap it on the Galahad. Galahads don't do well in short range. Put a couple of Gekkos on it too if you have them or Magnums or even Punishers. BTW 43M isn't a lot of silver, just keep that in mind, especially in today's new economy, and bots cost more than weapons to upgrade.

Just remember that Strider houses 2 lights and a heavy instead of mediums and a heavy. So no Scourge Strider, sadly. Shotgun build is pretty fun. However, considering Strider's unimpressive HP, staying near bots for enough time to empty your clip would probably get you killed, unless you can take down 100k+ HP without taking too much damage, so you can trash up another bot. Gust Ancile Strider is deadly. One raided my teammate's base, and it took me 2 bots to get rid of it. Then again, my weapons and bots were rather unimpressive back then. |

Should I level the Gekkos though? They're not a comp weapon so they shouldn't take too much AG, and mine do miniscule damage, even with all 3 combined. My Zeus Gekko Leo sucked. |

Gekkos don't do much damage until like level 8 or so. The Scourge/Gekko Galahad won't do much damage either, but it'll stay alive longer if you play it right. At this early stage in the game, don't worry too much about damage or league points. Just have fun and collect resources. Save your gold for that 5th slot if you already have builds to fill it. A Zeus/Gekko Leo is actually a very decent LR/MR bot. You want to stay as far out of 350m range as possible anyway due to all the Tarans and Orkans other people have.

You are correct, Sir, Gusts it is. My Gekkos started out at lv 5, so you can concentrate on leveling the Scourge up to that level first.
Oh, and I faced a Zeus/Gekko Leo, all Mk2/12, and it only sucked to be on the receiving end of that.
