My friend has started out a few weeks ago, and he wants to make a gold purchase. He is wondering if he should get a Rogatka or Galahad.

Most people here are gonna say slots first. I believe you should have decent weapons for the new bot before you get the slot for it. If you buy an extra slot but have no firepower in that slot then you have just given the enemy some extra target practice.
If he has a few decent weapons go for slot 4 (absolutely needed) then 5 (can live without it in lower tiers). If he is hell bent on one of the bots mentioned get the Galahad the Rogotta has been nerfed down to target practice in recent months.

He's got a Patton Piñata, a GAU Punisher Cossack, and a Thunder Punisher T Boa. He won't really take my advice. |

4th slot first, then a couple of Orkans, then 5th slot, then Galahad. Rogatka won't hang with the heavies, but Galahad goes all the way up with the big dogs.

He's got a Patton Piñata, a GAU Punisher Cossack, and a Thunder Punisher T Boa. He won't really take my advice. In order if I was making gold purchases with that my thoughts would be an Orkin for the Boa I would buy slot 4 replace the the cossack with a Galahad As I say my get decent weapons philosophy isn't the most popular. My thoughts are that the Orkin will be useful all the way to Top Tier "TT". He is probably not quite high enough for the 4th slot to be required now but will be very soon. And the Cossack is nice in lower tiers but quickly becomes target practice, but the Galahad will stay useful for a long time maybe not quite to TT but for a long time. If he enjoys the Boa he would probably like something like a punisher/thunder Leo in the 4th slot until he can replace the punishers with Magnums. But I would put a Taran/Magnum on the Galahad before putting Magnums on the Leo. Another option for slot 4 is a pin/Tolumbus Griffin to give him a midrange option and it just costs silver. Edit: If he is spending real money on gold I believe $50 gives you 6500. The Galahad and Orkin are 2500 each and the 4th slot is 1000 so if this is the case he could have all the above at the same time. Edit 2: as I said my weapons philosophy isn't popular I just ran into this thread after leaving this one war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/3301/5th-slot-weaponsRead it then decide for yourself on slots or weapons. |

I bought a Gareth and a Galahad before my fifth slot - I don't regret either purchase in the slightest.

Don't get me wrong, the brit bots are great but slots are overall better bang for your buck.
Now 2 Orkans might be worth the purchase before the 5th slot.

If I didn't get those bots I probably would have quit the game again. I got tired of running the same bots with the same weapons all the time. I even went back to a Cossack because it was a change. If someone is dead set on spending their money on a bot, you can't go wrong with a Galahad. I am nowhere near TT, and don't intend to be for quite some time. Yes, that fifth slot is important, but for me, the grind to it doesn't bother me in the slightest now. I have the all the gold bots and weapons I want for the time being. Don't underestimate having fun as a motivating or enjoyment factor in the game.. |

Don't underestimate having fun as a motivating or enjoyment factor in the game.. There's a lot to be said about the "fun factor" of this game. This game requires a combination of long and short term upgrade strategies. It makes perfect sense to me to have a pair of Orkans ASAP so you can start the upgrade process. That's enough to outfit two Thunder/Orkan Boas which will carry you quite far while you grind for slot 5. The Boas will eventually lose their efficiency, but the 2 Thunders and 2 Orkans will likely go all the way up with you. How many days do you want to waste upgrading Punishers? It's also important to learn how to use those Orkans before you get thrown into battles with tougher competitors that know how to use their Orkans. As for the Brit Bot before 5th slot theory: only if you're using your wallet to help you along. I had two Galahads before I bought my 5th slot. But, I used $$$ to make that happen. If you don't have $$$ or you simply refuse to spend $$$, then your resources are better spent on that 5th slot before ANY bot. I say Orkans before 5th slot. They never go out of style and you might as well start upgrading them as soon as you can afford them. But, if you must buy a bot... Galahad. No question. |

If you want to capping beacons you may buy rogatka, but if you need shield buy galahad, if you don't have 5 slots then unlock 5 slots first.

Rogatka can do what a Cossack does but in mid and high level leagues. It is the fastest medium bot. I win beacon gold most times I use it without severely reducing my chances of winning damage gold like when I use Gareth. People complain that it dies quickly. That's like complaining that Cossack doesn't last for five minutes. The truth is you don't want a Rogatka to last forever. You want to open with it, cap a few beacons, unload your orkans a couple times and then move on to bots that will win you damage gold.

With the buff coming for Rog this might be a closer debate, but I already voted already over 30 days ago when this was not a necrothread...

Then I replied because I got the months confused and assumed it was a few days old. Can you and the other thirty people who make 90%+ of the comments here find it in your hearts to forgive us? |

Hey friend, I don't think you need my forgiveness. I can't speak for the other 29 people.

Own two of each. Both Galahad are in my regular hangar. If when buffed, the Rog may replace a griffin. Maybe.

I haven't voted... missed it the first time around... I will refrain until the Rog Buff is active and I have played a few games.
Test server wasn't enough to judge, but just between the 2, right now, Galahad.

I bought a Rogatka shortly after I first got into War Robots two months ago, mainly because I wanted jumping ability. But once I started facing Galahads I wish I'd spent my 2500 Au on one of them instead.
My plan is to literally buy a Galahad in two weeks though. Almost did it last month but opted for the 5th hangar slot at the last minute instead, which ended up being a wise choice.
