I have almost 5k gold.confused in what to do.already have 5th slot .2 orkans.3 aphids.and a gepard( I know it's a waste now)
Choice 1 ...get a galahad and 2 more orkans.already have level 8 magnum and tartan on my griff so will shift to him because plasma griff is squishy.but I have in mind a rhino too having extra taran than a galahad...and with orkans I can make a stuka griff build.
Choice 2 ......get a Lancelot. Already have a levelled up thunder .. and I just love lance.
Choice 3 ....a fury .....have 2 lvl6 trident and have wsp war for the 3rd.
Choice 4 galahad and 2 Zeus. I know extra 500 gold .but not a problem.help me out guys.
And btw my hanger 1 aphid thunder leo.1 pinatas thunder leo.1 db griffin. 1 plasma griffin.1 rdb griff.and molots trident Natasha in reserve .been playing from 2 months and bots are at 6 weapons at LVL 8......thank you in advance

If you have an Ancile, get the Lancelot.
If you dont, then get 2 Orkans and save the rest for the Lancelot and Ancile.
What league tier are you in? if you are silver or lower, get 2 Orkans and the Galahad, if you are gold or higher, I wouldnt get the Galahad and would just save for a Lancelot or Fury.
Galahad is as squishy as a Griffin in gold I +, but with the Griffin you have the ability to avoid Orkan fire, soooo.... Dont get the Galahad if you are gold or higher.
In sumary, 2 Orks and save the rest for either Lancelot or Fury, its your preference.
Also, DO NOT use Lancelot without Ancile if you have only one Lancelot, since you might get disapointed in how fast Aphids/Orkans will shred him in Gold/Diamond tier.

My advice is wait on the fury. Get your knife fighters in order first, or as SlowReflexes calls it, the "beef". Another set of Orkans are the logical next step. You will want 4 in your hangar. Lance is a good buy too, since u know u will get one eventually. I actually prefer thunder ork Lance and dont mess around w the Ancil, but that's just me. I like maximum firepower, and Lance doesn't need to nerf itself into a chunky rogata. |

I disagree with the advice regarding the Griffin being better than the Galahad. Some players even of Champion standing run 1-3 Galahads. With the shield down you can outrun Orkans being fired at you and are able to take out Plasma Griffins with east. A plasma Galahad can also stay out of range of a DB Griffin and pick him apart as well. Not saying the Griffin is a bad bot. I love my DB Griffin. But I would not agree that it is better than a Galahad. Please also note that your League standing is not determined by your hangar, so you can have a level 12 Galahad OR Griffin in ANY League. Using Leagues to base "squishiness" does not work. |

Stick with choice 1. That is pretty much the exact advice I would have given you, so you obviously know what you are talking about  |

I would vote choice 1-gala+orkans (+4th aphid later) or 3-the Fury.
Lances don't seem to perform on the 5k Au level I would say.
You could also consider pothead leo with Aphids you have; remaining 3.5k Au could give you Zeus Carny or Plasma Galahad.

Using Leagues to base "squishiness" does not work. Leagues determine what you will face. You will not face Orkans in lower tiers as often as higher ones, with the popularity of shield bots high tier players started dedicating their hangar to at least 3 slots with explosive bots. I didnt said Griffin is better than the Galahad, what I mean is that sometimes its better to have the jump ability than the shield Galahad has in higher tiers. Galahad is the most balanced bot, but as its popularity rises along with Lancelots, now players run so much Orkans that people might overestimate what a Galahad can do. I gave the advice from my personal experience runing the Galahad from the lowest ranks to what I'm current into. (Diamond II) Also, I feel that Galahad's speed got slowed down a bit, I already heard this from Adrian's too, I feel that its alot harder to back from Orkan fire now and make them explode before getting to your bot. |

Greetings OP,
I wouldn't suggest taking those aphids off the Leo but for fun sometime try them on that Gepard. You may be pleasantly surprised.

now players run so much Orkans that people might overestimate what a Galahad can do. galahad does not suffer against opponents running orkans, it simply cannot make an overly aggressive engagement with enemies (for example, attempting to take back a beacon with a red defending it) alone. Admittedly I only run 1 galahad in my hangar currently (as I am trying to better myself with the plasma variants of the griffin), but I would not trade the world for at least 1 Galahad in my hangar. |

Using Leagues to base "squishiness" does not work. The Galahad can beat every single Griffin build except for Russian one. The only problem I have with my Galahad is that I am super unlucky with it. Every single time I deploy it, there is usually 3 other enemy Plasma Galahads or Trident Furies. I would buy the Galahad. |

I like option #1. I bought a Galahad when attaining my 5th slot and don't regret it at all. Like you said, run plasma on the Galahad and make a DB Griffin. Both those bots are very good builds.
It may take a while to figure out how to run those two different style mechs. I tend to be conservative with the Galahad and an aggressive ambusher with the Griffin.
Have fun with whatever you decide to buy.

Thats my point, if you are dealing consistently with this problem, then its not bad luck, its just that the bot doesnt fit so well the tier we play. Dont get me wrong, I love the Galahad, I also run one, but the thing is that I feel useless for my team most of the time when I play him except for grabbing unprotected beacons when the blue bar is draining out. I'm planning on putting an Orkan/Aphid Griffin in his place just to see how it goes, might feel slow, but I'll see. |

It is bad luck. Always encounter Plasma Griffins in my Fury.

Well, this game is Rock Paper Scissors anyway. It can easily be encountering a Plasma Galahad when in a DB Griff. He just sits outside ur range and pounds you. And I've had decent success outrunning orkans. 200m or more, u got a good chance of avoiding a lot of the rockets, even if he jumps. But u have to be at full speed.

Besides I don't think all the Griffins in use today are just a fad. A aphid/Gepard is something someone has to make work. Kind of like how I try really hard to make my Fujin work. A labor of love. |

Ugh, I am now in the same boat as you. I have 5k and I really want a Lancelot but everybody keeps saying 5th slot(even me!). I found myself in the store last night staring at the Lance.

Amoebastudios- a new clan takes a lot of continuous hard work that is a headache and I am not that good a player now .just a starting out pilot.i am already a captain in my clan so no need to start a clan.....
Gr3ygho5t- I got my 5th slot in my first month play only but when I was saving for the 5th slot I did not even thought about any gold weapon or bot........like you I too had a lance in my heart because my clanmates had them and they were too powerful .casted away my little feelings and got the 5th slot just as I reached 5k and i will never regret that decision ever.....killed so many lance till now with the cheap thunder pinata leo setup.lol

Option 6: Save your gold and WSP until new bots and weapons are released.

Bubble gun, EMP blast thingy. I don't like Griffins but I'm forced to use them at the moment. You can only play what is viable in the current metagame (or get crushed). If dashbots come out you might need one, like it or not. |
