Hi all, New to the forums. I haven't been playing that long but I've been getting more involved with killing them red bots. I can't really spend any real cash on this game so I have to work mostly with Ag and whatever else I can scrap together. Any advice is appreciated. I'm thinking of replacing Natasha with a capper. As I stand right now I do get a lot of damage out of the Natty with the dual Thunders so I'm reluctant. Also, saving Au for that 5th spot which may take a while. Current amounts: Ag: 3.5 mil, Au: 1220, WSP: 6460  |

Looks like a pretty decent Ag hangar. I think you are on the right path. If you keep these bots as is, swap a pin or punisher on Natasha so your light weapons are paired. That would be more efficient. I also would suggest you don't level it further, as eventually you will swap it out downstream.
I like that you are saving for 5th slot, but another route to go would be to buy a Boa and an Orkan, and run a Thunder/Ork BOA. Or, if you dont spend AU there, get a Taran with your WSP and run a Thunder/Taran Boa. Its a fun bot to drive in this level of hangar. Good mix of speed, toughness, and firepower. And both weapon purchases you will always use downstream, regardless of hangar.
Welcome to the forums and enjoy the game!

You can go for 2 Orkans before 5th slot no prob, also, you need moar Tarans (If you even have one).
Your priorities should go:
Build a Plasma Griffin in the place of natty
Build an DB Griffin with Orkan/pinatas in the place of your pinata Leo
Then go for 5th slot and come back here =)

Tarans. As with Panda on a boa first. When you have to put them on your Griff with magnums and you got yourself a top tier build.
-That's the second time ninja. I swear you post stalking me |

Thank you, all. I already had a Boa in the shed. So for now I'm going to buy and swap around the Orkan and Taran in the Medium spot to see what works best for me. ...and then I'm coming after you guys.  |

Get 5th slot, and you can use you WSP for a Carnage. Thunder Carnage is a very good bot if you play right (like your Thunder Nats before but this run faster), Carnage can equip Tridents or Zeus too when you can afford them. Most of your weapons are good and can be transfer to your new bot (may be except Punisher), upgrade them as much as you can. (Trident has similar damage with Tulumbus, but 10-11 secs reload time, 600m, bigger splash)

Get 5th slot, get a Carnage for WSP, equip it with 2 Thunders and level up another Griffin for the Tulumbas and Pins you should still have lying around. When you finally get the 5th slot, you can put that into your hangar.

5th slot anyway, and RDB Griff or Trident Molot Natty in that slot. I'm not a big fan of that Leo. Puns and Thunders ask for brickfighting, while Pin as 500m range. Here you have some options: - I'd probably replace the Leo with another Mag Taran Griffin, and if you have the 5th slot, the next gold buy would be Plasma Galahad which replaces one of the Plasma Griffins. Yeah, then you'll have one extra Taran. So maybe don't level the 4th taran over 6 or 7 if you want to conserve upgrade time. My pet account went this path, and I found good use for that extra Taran either running a Gary with PDB Griff and Plasmahad, or running a Taran Fujin.
- If you want to keep the Leo then use all short range (3rd Punisher if it works for you, although I'd recommend Mags over Punishers).
- Thunder Carnage, which is a build that you can use for a very long time.

Turn your Leo into mid-range with a Thunder and 3 pins. You can knock down shields at 500M with the thunder and then select fire the Pins without exposing yourself to plasma.
I will echo most others and say getting a Carnage will help your hanger for a long, long time.

I see you spent some gold on the Orkans. Not a bad purchase prior to 5th slot but those aphids are questionable. You might want to move those aphids on your Griffin instead and run the stalker with piñatas or magnums. Your next priority is the Leo. Thunder Carny, Trident Natty or RDB are good options depending on fighting style.

Anciles are not very common in lower leagues. Trident Pin Leo would work, but I'd rather use that RDB Griffin instead. It's so sweet to fire while jumping... And RDB has more burst damage, even though the different reload times are a pain in the behind. |

But I am not sure I would pull the DB or his Plasma Griff to make an RDB. Do you have a 3rd Griff leveled suckapants? |

Thunder Carny, Trident Natty or RDB are good options depending on fighting style. I like the current setup in this respect. Stalker lives off hiding, and Aphids allow it even to fire from cover. Works wonders on maps where you have different elevation levels (Yama for example). The other way is OK, but I would advise against Mags on a Stalker. One possible upgrade path would be to replace the Stalker with a Galahad, and morph the Aphids to the Griffin in the process. (But 5th slot first.) Then use RDB in 5th slot and Thunder Carnage instead of Leo. |

But a Griff comes at level 6, one level doesn't make that big difference. One reason why I recommend two plasma Griffins, at least temporarily, is that they will rack up incredible amounts of damage in lower leagues, until you face the britbots. This will give you the precious money to upgrade later. My best output was 850k damage with a level 7 hangar (5 slots though, 2x Plasma Griff, DB Griff, RDB Griff and Thunder Pinata Leo) in silver 3 on Android. Of course it really helps to get premium, at least for some time. Did it on my pet account, bought 10 days on Friday and had 2 weekends to play. Cash went up from 5 million to 30 million in that time. And I also advocate spending some cash on the game you love. But only if you have some cash to spare, obviously. |

5th slot is not so long of a farm.
You are getting around 60-80 Gold daily (some tasks are 30, some 40, and you are getting gold for games sometimes), so 80*30=2400 at best month.
Some gold for moving up a league, reward at the end of the month, Pixxonics' future event...
To cut it short - you just need to start, and in two months you will get those slot. I know, I have 5 and I'm just three months in game =)

Aphids are a lower priority in my opinion but they are effective. |

Sure. But they're in the hangar now, so the question is only how to use them most effectively and how to proceed  |

Then use RDB in 5th slot and Thunder Carnage instead of Leo. Right now the Stalker is my biggest gold maker. I generally get two beacons before the rest of the team catches up. Then I screw around with the red team and draw their fire away from the central beacons. If I had a weapon that I needed to directly aim I would be toast. I probably lose a lot of damage during the whole match but I'm pretty much guaranteed 5 gold if we win. |

There is nothing wrong with Beacon running but IMHO you have to back that up with some stalwart grinders. Understanding when you are just not going to get the win unless you eject and start wingmanning with your fellow blues to secure the map. You may be surprised how many beacons you can gain in this manner plus helping secure the overall win.

If we're winning I pester. If we're not I'll charge a red, give them as much damage as I can before they take me out and I switch to something more damaging. Unfortunately, I do not see this awareness in other players. *sigh* Really? We need three campers dropping Noricums? |
