Galahad vs Butch vs Rhino vs Carmage vs Ao Qin vs Raijin

I still see a Galahad in Expert around- Don’t bother buying a Butch or Ao Qin, they can be won in chests. I’ve seen Rhino up in Diamond still doing good, they might still be around. I’m still seeing Raijins around with as much rarity as I’ve ever seen them, don’t think they are a bad bot.

If you are planning on using cash, I recommend just buying something like the Phantom or Raven when under US $5, for beacon capping. A lot of people including myself went the Hades route, which you can get for $5 or just workshop it. It isn’t that fast, but a very dependable bot.

But then again you can last a long time in the league you are in with just your set up. No real reason to rush. I’m working on building a Hellburner and then see if Loki can be built- good deals exist for Loki plus pilot super cheap, I’m just building to experiment with my set up, it isn’t the end of the world to have the wrong bot or weapon, as many switch stuff out regularly anyway. Just keep upgrading weapons and try to get stuff to synchronize with weapons reloads- all 5 second or 10 second per bot- and upgrade the bots, upgrade modules- get more advanced modules, etc. It is just a slow build- some of what I used on my Leo is still being used as modules today, everytime I pack something away that I don’t think I need anymore due to better stuff like a Balanced Unit or Thermonuclear reactor, I open up access to a new passive module slot and need to bring my old leo gear back. You can swap them from bot to bot- so I would worry about them more than bots for right now. You can make do with anything you mention in the lower leagues.

Galahad, I used to run 3. That shield will be handy against all the zap zap weapons. No good against rockets though. Flames probably a good load out now. I used to run Taran and 2 x magnums as a fav. Good luck.

Last time I ran one was on Yam..... sigh. It was Scourge and spark...
