Having trouble finding a decent setup that works, Haven't got the most extensive armoury in the world (due to being fairly rookie) but I really want to make use of the Leo.
Any suggestions? Thanks

Thanks Go with a thunder for the heavy with a pinata next to it and two punishers. You will most likely be the biggest target because the red team wants to rack up damage points. Attack fellow heavy bots and ignore light bots.

I'd also recommend to upgrade the bot as much as you can (optimal lvl 9) to reach maximum speed (since it is its main weakness to reach Thunder effective range).

I guess that's another way to go, although I don't use my magnums on my Leo... maybe I should. Would that enable me to at least damage the "Brit bots"? I saw an "Ancilot" for the first time in a Canyon battle (in Silver III) yesterday. I was spooked!

1.thunder plus 3 punisher 2.zeus plus 3 punisher 3.ancile plus 3 aphid Don't do Aphids on Leo. Topmost Aphid very often explodes on launch, so that you are virtually only 2 Aphids bot. And try out Thunder+Pinata+Pinata+Magnum. It is good for finishing off Carnages\Fujins\Ancilots on their last legs, and still packs a punch against BritBots. Oh, and some long-range configs: Trebuchet+3xGekko Trident+3xPins In the future release: Tempest+3xMolots

Best Leo setup is either Thunder Aphids or Ancile Aphids. Most affordable Leo setup are Thunder Pinata and maybe the Thunder Magnums A decent midrange Leo is Trident Pins and Zeus / Treb / KWK Gekko

I'm leveling a thunder punishment leo in the background. It's quite fun to play. If it ever makes it up to the level of my main hanger I will let you know how it holds up lol.

Thanks all for the advice, I think for now I'll stick with the thunder/3xpinata setup, until I can acquire 3x Magnums as I only have 1 at the moment

I couldn't stand that setup... So far so good actually thanks! I think that may be down to me learning the play style previously with my little spartan (Patton - Ecu/3xpinata), my Leo is definitely going to take some grind to level though!

I'm intrigued to see how it would fair in higher leagues, that might drive me to try and beef mine up a lot more! ?

Depends on where you are in the leagues, but yes, a few of the ones mentioned are the best: Lower leagues: Thunder Pinata, Thunder Puns, Thunder Mags. (they are still effective in some cases in the higher leagues, but not near as much as in Bronze, Silver, and the bottom of Gold.) Some folk like the Thunder Pins as well... at first I didn't think it was a good idea, but then I thought about it... the Thunder will bust up an Ancile just fine at 400 - 500m, then you can let the Pins fly. Not the most damaging build, but if you are pairing up with a Trident user or another ballistic/kinetic weapon user, it can be very helpful against Ancile bots while keeping the ability to cause damage at the close side of mid-range. Lower and Higher Leagues: Trident/Zeus 3x Pins, Ancile Mag, Ancile Aphid, and Ancile Puns or Molots (in a limited capacity). Debatable: The long range options are OK... but I think most folk will find that they are better off with a Natasha or Carnage (2x Heavy weapons). However... that may change when the Gekkos get their NEW 20% buff... as the Zeus or Treb will do very well with Leo's 3 Light hard-points, hence, 3 Gekkos. I would be interested in the damage calculations of builds now and post buff with the various Mid to Long Range heavy weapons and 3 Gekkos. Side Note: One build that I like a lot... but that may not deserve to be grouped in with the "best builds" is the Zeus Punisher. I like this setup on the Natty and the Lance, but I know I am weird It is a Carnage (maybe Fujin too...) killer. And non shielded bots too, of course... 3 Puns, leveled appropriately and on Rapid Fire will wreak havoc on Anciles and the Zeus just loves Carnages to snack on. IMO. BTW... I have been running a start from scratch account since Saturday of this past weekend, and the Leo can definitely make a difference in a game so far. I am in Silver 3 with that account, and the highest weapon on any bot is a 6, and still that bot just wrecks, and keeps on wrecking. Now that I am seeing more and more shield bots like the Gala and Lance, I am finding the Thunder Pinatas to be the most helpful. As soon as I can get 2 more Mags I will give that a shot... maybe throw that freshly won Ancile on there just for kicks... but overall, I say Thunder Pinata as the easiest to attain, upgrade, and use, until you start coming up against other Anciles on a regular basis. Even then, the Thunder can pop that bubble quickly. For pure fun and the best sounding setup in the game, a pure Ancile killer is the Thunder Punisher build. Try this once, with headphones on. I like it a lot on my Gold account... With high enough Punishers and close enough range... not much can stand up to all that... but it's just as unlikely that you will stand up to much return fire in that league, as Leo's are one of Ag farmers' 1st targets. OK, I am done rambling... good luck! IMO, YMMV

Thanks all for the advice, I think for now I'll stick with the thunder/3xpinata setup, until I can acquire 3x Magnums as I only have 1 at the moment I agree with Russel about switching out a pinata for a mag. I actually always stuck mags on my Leo when I only had one, or even two when I didn't have the tarans to complete a PDB griff (tulumbas never worked well for me). Adding even one magnum instead of a pinata would increase your damage output by a lot since it wouldn't require reloading. However, what he said about the top aphid often exploding on launch hasn't ever happened to my thunder aphid leo - though perhaps it's a bug in iOS or something that doesn't affect me.

It seems there is a Gekko buff on the horizon. So I think a Treb or Zeus Leo with Gekkos will be pretty popular.

I ran Leo Thunder/Pin/Pin/Pin to knock down shields at range and then use the pins to go after Ancillots and Carnages'. It was a good build but I needed another brawler so I am currently running the Thunder/3xMag. If I didn't have the mags I would be using Punishers.

I'm using 3 piñata sand it works great! It makes almost as much damage as the Griffin if you only sneak up on the enemies and only take damage when you can fire yourself.

Well, thanks God we got YouTube, right? ;) Watch explosions at the moment of the launch, and notice that my HP remains the same. It is Aphid exploding on launch. I managed to get about 3 occasions on video for you guys!

Thanks For me ... i use triple Gekko and a treb. why? it has decent health and can hit you from across the map. Yamantu/canyon/Springfield... you can rack up a lot of damage in these maps...silver 「loose lady」 bot! consider it your long range bot.

Seems like a bug to me.. anyway yeah I'll try that thought about swapping one pinata for a mag as I actually just finished upgrading one ?

I'm a big Leo fan! And there are several builds that I favor: (taking into consideration my league and all that...)
Gekko Nashorn - Takes skill, but great at shutting down midrange Furys and Griffs.
Gekko Zeus - Especially good against Carnages.
Thunder Punisher - Good all around, I developed mine for the sake of putting Ancilots in their place.
Ancile Magnum - Surprisingly awesome! If you're a team player, you can use this to great effectiveness.
I realize that a lot of those items are Gold, but they are the builds that work for me. Happy Leo piloting!

I swapped out the Molot on 'Doc for a Taran - Myself, Taran/Griffon, Gareth and a Gekko/Golem - took down 'Doc .. had to come at it with a Zeus Cannon. This Mecha setup was chewing us to pieces. Downed 6 of us before falling. I think it may have a chance against an "Ancilot."
