I've been fooling around with a 4/8 pinata patton lately. It will erase a lot of bots.

*A spiral Patton is just plain entertaining to field, it unfortunately won't win DPS or be that helpful but is really good at delivering help to allies in combat *For a long time I ran a Cossack Tulumbas and loved him. He would wreck anything without plasma weaponry (good memories of taking down Griffins), but that 20 sec cool down meant death in drawn combat.

Thunder Pinata Leo. Good solid no frills bot. Death Button on a budget (sortof).
Thunder Punisher Leo. Nowhere near as capable, but fun to play.
RDB Griffon. Up there with the Leo for budget Ag damage dealers.
Thunder Punisher Golem. Great for Bronzies, not as shifty as the Thunder Schutze but can tank a little more before going down.
Thunder Schutze. Holy crap when I first gave this a go I was blown away. So were the Reds.
Pinata Patton. If the Leo is a bit much, perhaps this bot is Death Button on a Budget.

Pinata Pattons are seriously dangerous to get hit by!

Bronze Tiers - Thunder Schutze. My favorite bronze tier Gold clubbing bot. Used correctly, it competes even head-to-head with the Tri-mag
Silver Tiers - I haven't played silver in over a year, but the RDB Griffin, Thunder/Piñata Leo, and quad Piñata Patton were stand outs when I did play.
High Gold/Top Tier - RDB Griffin. My first bot to get to top tier and the oldest bot still in my active hangar. Nothing is quite like the RDB Griffin and it is still seen in virtually every top tier battle.

Thunder shutze and thunder pinata Leo have worked well for me. RDB Griffin pre-speed biff did not fit my style of play, but I will be using one again soon.

From experience I can tell that when two of those Pattons focus only on your Gep (I run Aphids actually) and the Pins are a bit upgraded, they chip away your health quite fast. And you have to stay much closer to the walls and seek cover, thus they delay your beacon capping speed a lot.

For the fun, I set up a complete hangar of RDB Griffs off shelf (6/5) and played a few games. But there are a lot of gold and wsp weapons out there that can make survival quite tough.

I ran forward when he hid, turned my feet and waited. Soon as he moved I did. he was dead before he could unleash volley nr 5. And nearly no setup can stand against 2 vs 1.

When you engange the patton in a fight, this strategy works pretty well. Love to do it on Dead City where Aphids can do some damage even if the enemy Patton is hiding behind up that bridge. But I (try to) make sure that my team has at least 3 beacons throughout the game, so I have to run around a lot and let the Pattons have their fun.

If you spent over a minute trying to kill one Patton, that sounds more like a win for the Patton. Sure, you might have have got him in the end but he held you at bay long enough to keep you from doing much else.

Bronze Tiers - Thunder Schutze. My favorite bronze tier Gold clubbing bot. Used correctly, it competes even head-to-head with the Tri-mag Silver Tiers - I haven't played silver in over a year, but the RDB Griffin, Thunder/Piñata Leo, and quad Piñata Patton were stand outs when I did play. High Gold/Top Tier - RDB Griffin. My first bot to get to top tier and the oldest bot still in my active hangar. Nothing is quite like the RDB Griffin and it is still seen in virtually every top tier battle. Question: What Bot and Weapon levels would one recommend for the RDB Griffin to play competitive in solid silver? For the fun, I set up a complete hangar of RDB Griffs off shelf (6/5) and played a few games. But there are a lot of gold and wsp weapons out there that can make survival quite tough. The RDB Griffin can be bot level 6 with weapons 10 and still be high silver - but you'd need another me,get here to confirm this. The lvl griff is 32KPH and its HP is sufficient to take a silver lvl trident Fury hit. It's max speed is just 3KPH higher, so 32KPH isn't much slower and it will do. The lvl 10 Tuls and Pins give good hitting power and are only 20% lower than max. The biggest difference why in Silver the RDB has slightly less longevity than in GT/TT isn't its bot/wep levels --- it's really that there are many more really fast bots with plasma in high silver and that pilots have not learned yet how to run an RDB (coupled with the fact that silver blue pilots don't know how that they gave to protect mud-range support bot by having full map awareness). In GT/TT your fellow blues can see red strength massing and they will less likely allow uncontested penetration into your territory. So I'd recommend using the RDB Griffin in high silver --- but only if you run it strictly in a mid-range support role. That means zero solo work and positioning your bot to cover the blue knifers. Stray out to kill stranded mostly dead reds if you must, but only if they are only a jump away from your support role sphere. The rule with the RDB is that if you find yourself ahead of the knifers, you are in too deep and you have to pull back --- as even a Taran Cossack can kill you on a 1-vs-1. Yes, it's feels very restrictive to drive an RDB Griff in support, but at least you will not be a burden to your team like the long range campers are in high silver.

Sure, you might have have got him in the end but he held you at bay long enough to keep you from doing much else. We where way ahead on the dominance bar and held 4 of the beacons. he was of the last 3 bots left. Was just playing with him and practicing my skills. Could have chased him around the corner, dance around him and kill him quickly but there was need for it.

My favorite Ag setup = RDB Griffin (Tulu & CRV Pins). Lots of fun, and on the right hands, very very devastating.

Rdb griffin in high silver, pinata Patton below that tier. Pinata Patton is a real killer at that tier, slower medium bots are going to eat two volleys, one at 300m and another when it closes up and die. It's harder to catch gepards though this might change once the speed nerf comes into play.
Molot or punisher patton is surprisingly effective at bronze, as long as you aren't facing gepards.

I read this thread and slapped four pinatas (half level 7, half level 5) on my Patton. Never doing that again. Pattons are slow and 80-90% of my games involve at least 2 enemy Gepards with Magnums. They race towards me and then swerve or backtrack when I reach the 300m mark. I unload and hit them but not enough to destroy them. Then I'm a beached whale looking at hyenas.

RDB Griff in Gold. Pinata Patton in Bronze. Silver, I dunno anymore, but my guess would be either Pinata or CRV Patton. Other than rockets or Thunder, anything else would be a wasted investment in weapons if you want to move up.
