I'm thinking another gala or gary, I have a carney I don't like, a Rhino I rarely use and bits and pieces of others. Maybe the new rog....just need a spark to get my interest back in the game. Btw, only have 1600 au and 17,000 wsp  |

Egads, a carny you don't like? I really love going back and forth between playing mine as a midrange zeus and a "surprise!" thunder brawler. So much in fact that I'm slowly leveling a second one to have both at times. I know the zeus one can be boring at times, but the thunder one is such a rush to play - pick your spot to break from cover, rush to get point blank as fast as you can, unload from close to try to take them down before they can do much damage in return, then pop back into cover and stalk the next red.

This would be my most cost sensitive suggestion. Put your Aphids on the Griffin with the Orkan's. Mags and Taran's. Then upgrade all weapons to 9. Get the rest of your bots to 9 so they are all at max speed. Then level your weapons to 10. Then start work on something in the background while you churn out silver.

And the main reason I run a plasmahad and a plasma gary Sure plasma is their weakness- I'm just thinking that your hangar looks like a lot of plasma and an rdb, so maybe changing it up and trying to master new tactics would spark your interest. Staying away from plasmahads and garys is definitely part of playing a carny well. Knowing when to hide, when to rush, when to run, and especially when to kite that plasmahad right into your dbg buddy's crosshairs. I'm still figuring it out, but I'm having fun doing it. Many times I flat fail with the bot, but when it's successful it can be really epic  |

I agree with Old man here, get your griffins sorted out. Also, you have a bit too much plasma so I'd suggest switching one of your Brit bots to Orkan/Pinata. I never get tired of melting away health bars with Orkans. Three Griffs can get boring, so consider switching out the RDB for a Carnage. |

If something gets boring, I would look at the person and not the game. I discover new strategy and new things by goofing off. Then I realize, hey!, maybe that would work as a legit strategy so I try it out for real the next few games. Pretty soon it gets incorporated into my playbook. A lot of times, I will initially try a bot or combo, and not like it and shelf it for awhile. Then I will suddenly decide to pick it up one day, and try it again with a new perspective and improved skills, and lo and behold, it's viable. Rhino, Thunder Carnage, Stalker, those are the common bots that take a while to master, but once you do, it becomes a lot of fun and you have a different opinion of them. This week, I'm messing around with the Zenits and discovering what works and what doesn't. I just had a game on Powerplant, where my plasma Rhino did really well and my score ended up being 750K+. So I decided to try my plasma Fujin, and got 600K+ with mostly that bot. In fact, my whole team was dead while I was still alive in my first bot, the Fujin. Then I jumped in my Fury, and shot a couple salvos of Trident fire off at another Fury before the game ended. New inspiration occurred after my previous game with the Rhino so I played with different tactics and had an outstanding game with my Fujin. I checked the other hangers after the match, so they were mostly my level and had a slight advantage over our team. (So it wasn't a bunch of noobs on red nor tankers on my side. Had no idea how I lasted that long but it was a lot of fun).
I even capped the centre beacon of Shenzhen with my Fury yesterday, because I started playing the Stalker more. I can't tell you how to play, so it's up to you.

I think for now, I'll switch out RDB Griff for RDB Rhino after I level him once more then I may swap out my prized Gary for a Thunder Carney....I just really don't care for him too much, if the carn wasn't so darn slow in his normal walk, it would be much better. I can't stand slow bots, that's why my Leo isn't in there unless I draw heavy bot tasks |

If you run your bots as specialty rockets or plasma and go after targets weak to what you are running, you can generally kill them before they can do too much damage in return. If you run a mixed setup and go after everything you wont have as much success. |

Tried an Ancile Plasma Golem? Quite fun to play. That's a super interesting build, but thus far I've avoided the ancile trend. Thats a lot of gold for a shield that is useless against plasma. I'm going to wait until after the event (if it ever happens) before I make any more purchases. |

I won an ancile at Christmas and left it unused till last week. Now I have upgraded it to level 7 and it sits on my Leo's head. It absorbs missiles and gives me time to breath before the bot turns into a heap of scrap.
In fact I wish to upgrade the ancile even further and also buy another one and get the Lancelot to wear it. Too many trident Furys, Trident Carnages all over the place.
Don’t leave home without an ancile.

Get a few more Galahads. There's missile, rocket, and hybrid loadouts. I have 3 Galahads, and 2 Gareths. They are okay,.......I guess  |

I'm going to wait until after the event (if it ever happens) before I make any more purchases. I feel that it is quite useful and has a place in a balanced hangar. Just like shields are effective against plasma but weak on rockets, anciles are strong against rockets but weak on plasma. So horses for courses. I normally like to start off with my Ancile Golem in short range maps like Dead City and Power plant. That's because Aphids, Hydras and Spirals tend to be popular in these maps and the Ancile is super effective against them. Combined with natural cover my Golem does a lot of good work. For long range maps it depends on the situation - say if there are a lot of Tridents or Hydras. If not the Ancile consider at least a shielded bot like a Carnage. |

And the main reason I run a plasmahad and a plasma gary Even with lv 5 thunders a Carny can pop a Gary or Galahad shield, turning it into a 1 for 1, as they're too squishy without their shield to survive much longer. |

They are easy to detect. Something sitting still around a corner with a shield is painfully obvious a thunder carney |

Havint slain a fair number or reds by your side I feel qualified to say your a good pilot.
That said, I think there is too much plasma and not enough splash. would keep gary and galahad as it. Then a stuka griff, and your RDB.
Keep 5th slot for fun and expiramental builds, eventually getting a lance or another orkan griff.
Just my opinion since you asked.

I try to keep my hangar as 50/50 plasma and splash as I can. Just got a 25$ Google card for my birthday thanks to Mrs. Golden Sabre so a Lance may be in my near future but really want to wait until after the event to see how that goes. VIP is a must though. And FTR,thanks for the compliment. Still have a hard time keeping up with you my friend |

Android leagues is a mess, I tell you.
8/9 hangar Britbots\Plasma\Orkan\Aphid stuff heavybots in silver?
Guys, what league do you play Vityaz\Boa\Schutze\Cossack in?
Anyways, on the point: this might be stupid, but can break you free - try running Leo, Cossack, Fuijin, Stalker, Raijin in your hangar. These are rarely used, unique playstyle bots, and can get your some new ideas.
Get an all-molot and all-punisher Griffins. That will change your playstyle a lot.
At the end, I like what I saw in some HeavyPanda's saying - have fun, it's a game!

Still running cossacks out there in silver III, but they're dying quickly. Boa is still a monster and still see Vits around. Punisher patton and thunder punisher nats everywhere. |
