Natasha level 7
2x lvl 7 trebuchet
2x lvl 6 gekko
Should I keep the gekko or no. I don't see it do very much so I'm debating on getting rid of them. Open to all advice on this bot
Galahad level 7
2x lvl 7 aphid
1x lvl 7 hydra.
It works pretty well but idk if I should switch to plasma. Every form I read says Galahad is one of the best bots but say to run plasma. What do y'all think?
Last question should I buy a rhino or get a griffin n buy plasmas with my WS points.... tough pick for me.
Thank you ?

Keep the Natasha. Put plasma on the Galahad. Get a Griffin and put Taran Aphid on it.

TnA Griffin is deadly fun
Treb Gekko Natasha... you need to use those gekkos separately from your trebs... That means using the weapon link system. Let your trebs charge to full. Gekkos can used to spot your most distant targets, making sure Trebs make contact. Twin gekkos at my level (10) do 14k damage a burst, and reloads twice for every treb charge.

I won't comment on the Natasha, as I have not run that config, but it sounds decent. The gekkos are the natural pairing to the treb, as they both have that 1000m+ range.
The Galahad though - while Aphids and Hydra might be fun to stay covered and lob homing missiles, the plasma setup will really help your galahad hit hard, and you will see it in your damage output.
Aphids pair great with Tarans or Orkans on a Griffin. As @darkangel12s said already, that would be the next bot to build since you *might* have a pair of aphids available if you put plasma on Gala.
Cheers.

Yes to Plasma on that. And almost certainly yes to the Griffin over the Rhino and purchasing more plasma, but if you show us your lineup there might be other suggestions. |

That means using the weapon link system. Weapon link system? tap an individual weapon to fire it alone, tap another to link it and fire both at the same (without firing weapons you did not select) |

You don't mention the league you're in. This advice won't probably work Gold league and up (reportedly shielded bots take over).
I have a fresh experience with 2xThunder + 2xPinata in Bronze (and I'll try it in Silver soon). I've put it instead of Thunder+Pinata Leo that I was not content with. It's a real difference and quite fun.
I use this Naty in the middle of battle, when there is less rush for beacons and they are usually covered by a guard. Needs to close the distance to red bots without their long range fire (usually doable) and then the fun begins. The initial Pinata + Thunder punch (say at lvl 6) is 44k, only DB setups can do more. After that, you have 18k/s damage for the next 4 s, totalling at 116k after 5 s. After that, you may A) finish them with Thunders as they are almost done, B) walk behind a cover, wait 10 s to reload and start anew.
If you're lucky, a hungry Carnage rushes right in front of you :-)
Generally, it's good when the spawn is being pushed.
After all, it's completely silver so no regrets if you don't like it.
Also if you choose this setup, I recommend to upgrade the bot to lvl 9 for maximum speed (larger hp pool is also helpful)
Performance (Best to worst):
Dead city - excellent, you may choose whether to purge the central beacon area or hammer through side beacon area to their spawn. Carnages also encountered succesfuly.
Shenzen - excellent. Beware central beacon area, but going by the side street + using buildings for reload works well
Power plant - very good. Don't go to beacon A and stay in the central area.
Canyon - it depends. Caught in open area by plasma or Molot Griffin = death, but if you manage to get to central beacon, you can purge it comletely (I was able to take down 3 bots ending with 1/4 hp and only 1 Thunder missing)
Springfield - average - good use in metropolis + port area, crossing to shielded beacon takes some time but also doable.
Yamantau - mediocre - works well in central beacon area, but takes a lot of time to get there.
