Mandatory hello as this is my first post. As the title says it, I've got 16k WSP and debating between Carnage and Rhino. I'm still a few weeks away from the 5th slot, so it would be a replacement for one of the bots. Here's my hanger:  If I go for Carnage, my plan is to replace the Natasha, and put the Zeus on it. I'm also perhaps thinking of having some fun with a Thunder Carnage, but I do not plan on spending time upgrading the Thunders for now. I'm wondering if the extra speed of the Carnage is worth it as it will be more vulnerable to Trebuchets / Zeus. If I go for Rhino, it would be to replace the Griffin. I could spec it DB for now, but I think I'd rather have Magnums instead of the pinatas although I'd have to wait on the WSPs. I kinda like the Aphidoon so I'm not planning to switch it out for now, but might do it eventually. I also have a spare Taran lying around. Would be nice to purpose it, but it doesn't seem to fit much in my current hanger. Any thoughts? |

The reason nobody has responded is because it has been discussed to death. Search the forum and make your own decision

I got the rhino first before the carnage since rhino was meta at the time. Now, I'd probably opt for a carnage first since it's a more versatile bot usable at close range (thunders), mid range (zeus, tridents), and of course long range.
Keep the griffin; it's better than a rhino: more maneuverable in close maps and able to jump away from splash.

Thanks for the input Blythe, I'm thinking so as well! My reason for considering the Rhino was that my hanger was a bit squishy, although it got better now with my recent acquisition of a Plasmahad.
Golden Sabre, I didn't mean to spam the forums. I did some research already, just wanted some input for my particular case from more experienced guys.
Cheers!

I would go for the Carnage. You already have the 2 Zeus to go along with it.

Yeah, those Zeus you already have will be much more fun and effective on a Carnage. You already have a Galahad so I would pass on the Rhino.

I will go for Carnage. Swap the Zeus to Carnage will lose 2 pin dps, but Nathasia is too slow for 500m (will take a lot more damage from red and die much faster). Zeus Carnage has energy shield, 600m range, faster and with rush, it should increase your shooting rate (more damage done) and stay longer to dps.
Your bots and weapon level is pretty low compare to the items you have, I will just get a Carnage to replace your Nathasia, then just upgrade the bots and weapons you are using. In the mean time, save your gold for 5th slot. By the time you got your 5th slot, you will have 4 decent level bot and its weapon. + 5th new bot.

Rhinos are going out of style atm. If you must have one or the other I say carnage. Way more versitile. But it's useless as a knife fighter till you get it to level 9. So until then use it, lie you said, as a mid ranger.
I have both bots and they both collect dust in my hangar.

I ended up going for the Carnage.
Was definitely a great idea. The gain in speed and mobility makes it a killer!
Clocked 500k damage With Carnage at lvl 5, Zeus at lvl 6 & 7 in my last game in Canyon.
I think my favourite part is that it pissed off the opposite team so much that they started chasing me and waste time instead of capturing beacons.

I sold my rhino. Didn't like it and played it a lot. Not my style I guess. The carnage now, I own two and run them both at 9/9. One with thunders and one with Zeus. Maybe my favorite two boys in my hanger ?
