I was using two griffs orkan, one pinata and other aphids, two lancelots one Ancilot and other orkan Thunder and usually tulu doc or Galahad. Going back to a previous thread, one guy mention this hangar to be optimal. What do you guys think? So far it's okay, butch I'd useless on DC and sometimes on powerplant. What bot should I change? Running two Lancelot has been a solid build for me. My experience with Griff has been so and so, it kills quick and dies quick. I'm thinking of replacing Griff but I tried a third Lancelot but it was too slow, walking to battle takes ages  |

Nice bots man, and a lance on the bench. impressive.. if you go against tt, you may want the db griffin in there until you upgrade the aphids. indeed griff dies fast, so save your jump to hit and evade, and it will last longer. Good luck, mm will prob put you in tt whether you like it or not if you do well.

I think both Griffins are good.
I'm not sure about having both an Ancilot and the Quad Treb Butch in your hangar though. The Ancilot is a low performer when not squading and it can get owned by a decent Plasmahad or even Plasma Gary pilot. The quad Treb Butch can be low performer even on the large maps if most of the targets are physical shield bots.
If it where me, I'd swap the Butch for your other Griffin (in knifer setup) or bring up your third Lancelot. I'd go for the Griff myself, as the jump attack is more useful overall than a shield's protection. I have 2 Lancelots --- one has been mothballed for months and sometimes I don't even use any Lancelots. I am bringing up a 3rd Griffin this week - to be ready when league play comes to iOS.
You already have an awesome mid-ranger in the Tool Doc, so the rest of the hangar can be all knifers ---- which the new league play favors.

I have an Lancelot and tried to build it with Ancile, my Tarans are lv 12 and even sometimes facing low lv players it really bugs me how the Ancilot lacks the firepower needed to kill someone, so I swich back to Thunder.
Aside from that, your hangar is really really nice, I would just remove Doc for a TT Fury, but lets think you didnt hear me saying that so people dont throw rotten tomatoes at me.

Both of you have valid points, I do feel like Ancilot Slows me down and it's more of a tactical squad role where it break enemy lines. Tulus doc is great but often dies quick from RDB griffs or gets Sniped. I do feel treb butch is a hit or miss, it does pretty well when there are a lot of carnages, or nonshielded bots but it does suck when enemy does have shield bots and wished I had tridents. I did do trident and zeus on butch combo but the punch on dual trident is not comparable as triple trident hit. It's hard to explain but the more your shooting the more you are expose to be shot at. Sometimes I do prefer my fury over butch then once in a while I prefer butch. But having both is overkill in the knifer meta. I do see the potential in tulu doc, but when it's not at max level. It's very squishy Here is my hangar now that I'll continue to test. My next question, keep the fury or another knifer, or be wild and crazy and have two furys (which I do lol)  |

My next question, keep the fury or another knifer, or be wild and crazy and have two furys (which I do lol) I would put a Galahad in the place of DB Griffin, and then put his Orkans on your Plasma Lancelot. As good as your setup is, it may lack the hability to capture Beacons, and the Galahad is the best bot to do that without insta-dying for plasma builds, Carnages with Thunders and so on. I dont see a place for a second Fury, and if you do that, it would be much better to put the Buch with trebs instead so you have more options than just flat explosives on open maps, AND the hability to counter TT Furies. |

I do have some Galahad, but wouldn't that lower damage? I use the griffs to capture beacon but thinking about now I guess it does take longer.
What is the best setup for a Galahad for this hangar, plasma or ork/pinata or ork/mag. I tend to favor Ork mag Galahad

What is the best setup for a Galahad for this hangar, plasma or ork/pinata or ork/mag. I tend to favor Ork mag Galahad My current hangar is this one, also, dont mind the Leo, it is temporary as I dont have anything better right now, and the inconsistencies of my levels are because I forced two bots to 12 to farm pilot of the hour/week... R.I.P lol Talking about the Galahad, it is not just for beacons, it can solo the Plasma Griff with ease and is the best all rounded bot in the game, for its speed, shield durability and good consistent firepower, not to mention his corner shooting capabilities. As I said, consistent firepower, Galahad cant stop shooting, so I think the best build on him is Plasma, even though I would consider Orks, I think that what I already sugested will have enough explosive damage to deal with the spam of shield bots we current have on the meta. 3 explosive bots and 2 plasma are the perfect balance IMO.  |

That is some massive average damage, what if I replace both griffs for a plasmahad, so I will end up two ork Thunder Lancelot, two plasma Galahad and a trident Fury. Would that be overall be better? I do have experience in Galahad. I have six of them (I got addicted to rolling lunar chest ><)

I do have experience in Galahad. I have six of them (I got addicted to rolling lunar chest ><) My friend did the same and end up getting seven Galas, he got so mad that sold 2 of them, It got into my heart imagining someone could actually sell one off those shiny things lol. But for what you asked, I would NEVER run 2 Galas, as much as I love this bot, I wouldnt, since you will really notice the lack of firepower doing that, one is perfect! If I would do a crazy hangar build, it would consist of 2 Orkan Lancelots, 1 Plasma Lancelot, 1 Plasma Galahad and a Trident Fury. The Lancelot is a monster in close range fights, but the Griffin can pair forces with him so either Griff or Lancelot will work fine. If you plan on leaving one Griffin, go for Aphids 99% of the time, since they are more versatile than Pinatas. (Dont go for Aphids on Plasma Griff, at least I dont like this combo as I do with the explosive one). |

This is my crazy build. It works but does suffer beacon control. I ran this when Mm changed, but the walking speed did annoy me. But maybe time to bring this build back. Thanks for the info for everything, I just need to know what to invest in upgrades first so trying to find a TT hangar that suits my playstyle. I'm definitely a Lancelot pilot, griffs are no threat unless its RDB. I usually find cover and lurk like a carnage when on ork/Thunder. And also I usually bait griffs or other orkan users to used up ammo so I can charge at them. I corner shoot with Lancelot as well  |

Also, for stuff that you would upgrade, you can never go wrong upgrading Tarans & Orkans, those are the best weapons in the game and I cant see them getting nerfed anytime soon, unlike the Trident wich is very possible. If you want to be only the damage dealer of your team and playing around beacons too much isnt your playstyle, so that build is not crazy at all, I do share the same love for Lancelot, he is just an awesome bot, but I just run one Gala in case my team trolls too much. |

Nice bots man, and a lance on the bench. impressive.. Pay2win ex-clubber who likes to brag about his hangars. Flashed a 5-Galahad hangar or something like this a while ago. (Nothing wrong about paying some cash to Pixo. It's the clubbing and bragging that gets me.) |
