wait it out or plunge ahead

I really enjoy the Lance, and enjoy it even more after switching from Thunder/Ork to Ancilot. My Trident Fury is level 9. It rides the bench. I bring it in every so often, and it is just never fun to drive. So if you're asking me, don't buy the Fury now, unless you really like moping around the edges of battle. When I use tridents, I put them on Carnage - less damage, but way more mobility and ability to deliver precision hits from anywhere on the map.

If you are in Silver league, there is probably no need for a Fury or even a Lancelot. If your hangar approaches max level you might want to build a taran ancilot because they are really effective. Until then, I recommend waiting.

The Zeus Carnage, leveled up to at least 9/10, is a great midrange option. I see them all the damn time in Expert/Master league games. Even Legend players have them.

Once the new Dash bots and the buffed Rog come online (and Pixo fixes the Zeus damage bug) the you will see SO MANY Zeus Carnages and Furies. The meta seems to be shifting towards energy shields, and the Zeus' range, ease-of-use and high damage will make it a winner against everything but Rhinos and the Brit bots.

Higher Tier Lancelots are only worth if they are equiped with Ancile, so you not only have to think about him, but you also have to think about an Ancile later on.
Zeus Carnage > TT Fury IMO, and even better when they fix the Zeus bug.
If you dont have one Galahad, I would get one for now, its not so expensive and you will not regret it.
I was on the same dilema when I was going for Fury and lancelot, with Fury will take you quite a long time to get him dealing damage if your stuff isnt upgraded, so between those 2 I would go for Lancelot first, you already have a great midrange wich is Carnage/Zeus.
For low tier Lancelot:
Tarans/Thunder OR Orkans/Thunder
For high tier Lancelot:
Tarans/Ancile OR Orkans/Thunder (Direct counter to Ancilot).
Get the Fury when you can afford another Zeus.

Nat honestly isn't that much less effective than a Fury, and it has the advantage of being relatively inexpensive to upgrade. For someone who is max/min'ing their top end hangar, it might be worth it... but if you are still building up then I don't see a strong need for the Fury.

The Lance, on the other hand, represents a tangible improvement over other bots that might fill the same role. If you want to spend gold, he's the better bot to spend it on.

I've heard that great minds think alike. It appears deranged ones do as well.

suntron provided this link in another thread to a comment by Pix that gives some insight on the Dash bot release: war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/post/60809/thread

I added the yellow font for emphasis:


"Q: For the “dash” prototype… You basically made a Griffin/Carnage/Fujin hybrid. Remove the energy shield, increase the cooldown even more?—?and maybe after that you can call it at least somewhat balanced.
A: That’s what the public test server is for!
Comment: The dashers are, indeed, a tad too strong in their current state. We decided to balance them step by step, making slight tweaks every week. There is still quite some time to do that, since they are still very early in production."

You guys have to keep in mind that the Wild Bunch hasn't even been released for gold purchase yet. And the Dash bots will most likely involve the use of coins only available for the next event.

OP, you can be waiting for a very long time and the gold everyone is telling you to save will be sitting in your inventory for months. It is highly likely that you will have at least enough to get the midweight by that time.

And who's to say that these "event bots" will be purchaseable by au. They certainly haven't showed us that yet .

I'll third this!  The Galahad is the most versatile bot in the game.  With speed, shield, and firepower it does it all well.  It might not be the best at any one thing, but the combined capabilities make it must have in my hanger.

Heck, get 2 galahads.

I was in your shoes in a couple months ago, except my RDB isn't as good as a Zeus/Carny. Since I won an Ancile in the Chinese new year event I made an ancilot (I had 2 leveled Tridents though...) and I think I made the right choice. No other bot brawls so hard, I mean nothing. Also, as you go up in levels your team mates start to get better (even random ones) so while you may face a 3 on 1 and lasting a long time if you are smart, they just capped a bunch of beacons and while you might not have scored a ton of damage you probably just won. There is also the possibility to get team mates under your ancile. The Ancilot is for team players.

The TT is what I will probably get in another month but I am far from convinced because while it is remarkably powerful, I see a ton of sniper bros with them who prefer to stand around and lose when beacons or territory need to be taken, as long as they don't get blown up and they are getting pot shots off (regardless of wether the robots are a real threat to the game state). Now whether the bot just sucks or the players do is still TBD as I have never piloted a TT but the amount of times I see that on both teams is pretty phenomenal. For reference I am in Gold 2.

If you don't have a PDB Galahad get one first. For half the gold it has the ability to sometimes disrupt as much as an ancilot (assuming you are not going into a lot of rockets) and you are moving much faster so it is a viable "power runner".

I've managed to do that a handful of times, with a lance / carnage pairing.  It's beautiful...

It will increase your damage but you will find that Carnage lasts longer than Fury if played correctly.
I didnt even had to adapt too much to the "its time to eject" thing since Fury tipically lasts for 3 mins max.
Also, Fury has much less speed and flexibility than Carnage, its all about the damage, so you need to know how to prioritize your targets to avoid getting flanked or shot down too early.
