I don't know how I made it to gold or how i've managed to stay in gold.. 8/10 times I'm matched up against fully leveled bots or just bots way higher than mine. Any advice on my hanger so I can move forward?  |

Galahad- Take the mags and taran from your griffin and put it on your galahad, the plasmahad can sometimes dominate games
Griffin- Buy one more orkan and use it with your orkans and pinatas from your galahad, these are great against galahads and lancebots
Fujin- I would not recommend having 2 midrange bots, you should switch it out for another knifer. I would personally switch it out to a carnage thunder.
Knifer Leo- Solid choice, I would keep it for a while
Midrange Leo- Buy another trident and get use the tridents and pins on a midrange natasha, the midrange natasha has the same health, speed, and a minuscule amount of more damage if the pins hit the enemy bot. The main problem is the slight range difference between the pins and tridents
Just my two cents, hope it helps

With the amount of shielded (non-ancilot) bots i thought I'd shy away from plasma but keep one or two in for carney.
Should I drop the pdb Griff and make the galahad plasma? I like the match ups against plasma Gareth, galahads, and every other plasma bot. The Fujin is there for lances/rhinos at a safe distamce

Small changes. Like get another orkan and a couple aphids for your griffin, swap and make plasmahad and play for awhile. You're doing great, just don't change too many things at once, get used to small alterations and level your stuff.

Thanks to both of you, I was thinking maybe getting another galahad for plasma and running both. I do love my Fujin lol.. I like to shield other friendlies when they don't expect it

It looks about right for Gold I think.
Your avg damage and kills are quite high for that League though. That's testament to how well you do. But it's also why you are getting tougher competition as well.

You are planning to move up through Gold tier?
To have better balance/utility I would:
Galahad - swap out with all plasma (best use all around)
Griffin - make it db from Galahad + 1 orkan (rockets very popular)
See how you like changes (good advice not to make to many changes at one time so you can the feel the difference). I would also suggest not leveling 2nd Leo - as you move up there are usually bots that will perform a specific role better than the Leo - and get there much quicker!
I would also level up the Galahad 1st, lot of speed & shield not utilized. I would also not level the other bots with out a plan.
Next, I would change up mid-range - most hangers only have 1 mid range. As you move up - the most common bot at upper levels would be the Griffin. Cheap, mobile, 4 weapons, and they Flyyyyy - whats not to like!
I have 4 bots I am taking to level 10 then evaluate:
Galahad
Lancelot
Griffin x2
I am saving for my Fury.
I spent alot time and Au & Ag on other bots that I am not going to level to 10+. I have a level 7 Leo, 8 Carnage, & 9 Rhino I rotate as I save for Fury. The sooner you know what bots you want to upgrade the more focused & efficient you can be.

Try building a hanger like this "Silver" player I faced today. 12/12 everything, and, can you believe it—He earned top damage (by a significant margin!)  |

But it's also why you are getting tougher competition as well. I appreciate it! Most wins come from defending beacons or trying to mech out players. Thanks to my galahad I know get about 3+ beacons a game and it's a great improvement. Never chase kills, never enter a one sided fight unless it's in my favor. |

The sooner you know what bots you want to upgrade the more focused & efficient you can be. I I had no intentions on leveling that trident leo, he is ,aimlessly for lances and rhino killing. Honestly won't change my galahad despite everyone saying so. I find my self against a lot of plasma galas and grips. So it's been a good fit so far but will maybe change it. Im competitive so definitely one day I'll have a top tier hanger. I'm gonna go lancilot before fury. |

Not a fan of garys as I don't see themuch any further than gold |

Shouldnt orkan fujin be more reliable? the shield isnt that good and fujin is slow. 3 orkans can have burst dps that insta kill bots and prevent fujin to expose any additional dmg. As for the thunder carny yes it is not always reliable as it is a very ambush oriented bot and depending on the map it has a lot of use to almost no use. Takes time to practice but if mastered (sorta) u can wreck ppl and survive for a long time before dying |

For my, the Fujin is an anti-DB Griffin bot, which Tarans suit better. |

^^ Well, anything "anti-DB Griffin" should have weapons that outrange it.
I'm not a huge fan of the Fujin because for mediums, mobility is life. I suggest replacing it with another griffin and using the the orkan from the Galahad on it (along with another one I suggest that you buy)
The OP's Lets should only be placeholders for better bots and I agree with what someone said about using a Natasha with Tridents/Pins. Another option might be a Trident Carnage; less dmg, but better survivability against anything non-energy. But until you have enough resources to get either another Trident and/or Carnage, it should do for now.
I also suggest not using Orkans on the Galahad. The Galahad shines best with plasma.
I also do not recommend the Thunder Magnum Leo. It takes too long to damage anything and you are half dead by then. An RDB Griffin might be useful. Since you already would have the DB and Plasma Griffin for the damage dealing and the Plasma Galahad to cap some beacons and hurt other bots.
Final Suggested Hangar (FOR NOW):
Plasma Galahad
DB Griffin
PDB Griffin
CRV/Trident Leo (until u get Carnage/Natasha/2nd Trident---and until u can afford a Fury)
RDB Griffin (decent placeholder until u decide what play style you want to have in the future)

I like to shield other friendlies when they don't expect it Fujiin mileage runs out in higher tiers unfortunately. I'd not take it over 8 until you settle into your leagues and figure out what's what. Nothing worse than sinking a ton of effort into upgrades only to find out it well and truly sucks when you land where you're headed. I'm looking at you gekkos ? |

I have a rdb Griffin leveled out at 7/7/7 had great success with it and had the orkan on it. Was OK for laying down support and if I got too close the orkan scared away most bots. Might turn that mag Leo into a pinata Leo for now. |
