Treb's or Trident's?

I just bought my first Trident only an hour ago. From what I've read the splash damage it delivers is regarded as more effective generally compared to the Trebuchet.

I have Tridents. And a Carnage. And x2 Zeus. No Trebs.

What is your question. Should you swap out the Zeus (600m) for the Tridents (600m) or you are tossing up between Trebs (1100m) vs a 600m option?

My personal preference is that a mid-range assault bot to a camper. I can use my Zeus Carny on any map (even Dead City). You'll be limited with Trebs on various maps.

If you need or want a 1100 ranger then you'll get the Trebs. But note shields block them!

If it's a toss up between Tridents and Z's - it's horses for courses and personal preference. Tridents are great but have a 10 second load time vs Zeus. So to answer Your question do you want faster load time vs slash damage. Tridents also have a slight delay when you pull the trigger to firing - can catch you off at the start.

My personal preference is Zeus :-)

I'll be keeping my Zeus Carnage. Was wondering if should add a either a Carnage Trident/Treb or a Natasha Trident/Treb bot to my hanger.. I see that having a long range bot is handy for 3 maps .. Yama, Springfield,& Canyon.. Natasha has the extra 2 light weapons but is sooooo slow! Lol ..

Running more than one range bot will hurt your win rate in today's game. I'd stick with the Carnage and look at optimizing the rest of your hanger for shorter ranges.

Oh.. OK thank you for that information .. did not know that.. that changes the game plan lol

Zeus has a 5s cool down, I would say that among all carnage builds, this is the worst to encounter, so likely the best one. Tridents come a close second, I don't feel that trebs are any good on it. The potent thing about using a mid range carnage is to utilise its shield and speed to do 600m flanks. This might force reds to divert their attention on you. But carnages are highly susceptible to treb furies and treb butches, you could possibly be taken out within 2 full charges if the player has high levels. I notice that a lot of treb users play below their levels, you will notice plenty of high level trebs playing in lower leagues. So you need to learn to keep out of their line of sight or move after they shot someone.

Assuming you have a 5 bot hangar, I think it's fine to run two mid range bots. You can even play slightly more aggressively in targeting red mid range bots. But you will find yourself having a harder time on tight maps like power plant or dead city.

Win rate is overrated, you want to play in a league around your levels where you can maximise your damage potential, not climb as high as you can and then get stuck fighting bots that are way over your levels. 

Depends a bit on how many britbots you see. If the number of shielded bots is limited, Zeus us more efficient. However, Tridents can damage robots using cover as you only need to detonate it within 30m of the target. Both are very good weapons IMO.

Generally Tridents go better on a Fury, Zeus better on a Carnage. With Zeus you have to establish line of sight, so Carnage works better as its quickness allows it to reposition it on the battlefield. With Tridents you only need to hit close to the target, so you can use them on a slow robot. Fury is obviously the best for that, as it has 3 heavy hardpoints. But if you get an unshielded robot (or a shielded one from the side), two Zeus will do more damage than 3 Tridents.

Recently I've been toying with a Zeus Molot or Trident Molot Natasha. It's a nice alternative to the Fury, because it allows you to hit other midrangers from 700-800m while being protected yourself. You lose the Splash, but 2 Molots do roughly the same damage as a Trident.

i dont think trident can be better than treb i have a trrident and its useless
