Im almost a 5000g (after buying 2x Aphids, omg they are so fun on the Stalker  ) and im thinking about getting a Fury and put 3x Trident or 3x KwK depending om my mood or should i get any other bot and which bot should i change out for the Fury/other bot?
My hanger looks like this atm:
1. Stalker 2x Aphids (love this setup because its just fun, its not the best but the game is about having fun right?)
2. Carnage 2x Zeus
3. Griffin 2x Taran 2x Magnum
4. Griffin 2x Tumbas 2x Pin
5. Rhino 2x Orkan 2x Pinata |

Also should i change out the Zeus on my Carnage for my Tridents that is just sitting in my inventory? I have seen that Tridents are really popular now.

I like aphids on stalkers, I think they are even better than magnums because stalkers aren't really meant to be main damage, they are for annoying the crap out of reds, harassing them and taking beacons. 2 aphids are probably painful enough that people can't ignore their damage adding up and you don't have to show yourself to harass them.
After fury, you might want to get more shielded bots like plasma Galahad or orkan Lancelot, even Gareth but you do have a stalker.

zeus agree. Think it's been established in some other threads that mag stalkers are pretty ineffective, especially in low gold or above. Pateras if I were you I'd wait until new bots come out and new MM rolls out, and people get sense of what is the new meta. Would suck to splurge all your Au on something and find out it's no longer viable.

CΛΜΡΞΓ™ I don't disagree, but point I was trying to make is that untill all the new stuff hits the live server, all that is still speculation. And new MM in particular feels like a pretty big uncertainty. For me I'm holding off on making any significant new purchases until then.

I also Think that Aphids on a Stalker is pretty good because of the fast speed, the ability to be invisble and the Aphids on it cant be ignored. I do get Medal of Capture about 33% of the times so i do get some more gold from that. Atm it looks like im getting a Fury because most of my bots are short range and 2 medium range bot i just feel that i need one long range bot but i will see what other people write in this thread before i go ahead and buy, o got about 600 gold left to farm before i get to 5000.

pateras,
I was contemplating purchase of fury myself. I know that in gold tier it is consistently shown & I have felt the damage of the Fury. I purchased a Carnage instead & swap the Thunders w Tri/Zeus set up. I also swap out rdb Griffin when not using the Carnage for mid-range.
For me, I know I could deal major damage with the Fury, but I have a hard time waiting not engaging reds. I run 3 Griffins and substitute my other bots around them. I dont particularly like waiting to snipe with the Carnage, but I can sprint to other locations etc.... Just wanted to give you something to think about, spending 5k Au is a long term - long time farming investment - invest wisely!

With the TT Fury however, good positioning is key to it being an effective bot. |

With the TT Fury however, good positioning is key to it being an effective bot. camper, For me it is about being stationary and play style. I live in So Cal, I would rather drive around a traffic jam, even if it would take more time, than be stuck not moving in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I like being mobile - the Griffin is my main bot. pateras said he would rather keep playing his stalker 'because it is to much fun' to give up. Other bots are probably more effective. I think this is similar situation to lend another perspective. I want him to weigh - not liking to pilot a shiny new Fury - vs. spending 5k Au. If pateras really likes being mobile, it probably wont be a great choice. |

If pateras really likes being mobile, it probably wont be a great choice. Yeah i like being mobile but i got that in the Stalker im about 75% sure that i will get the Fury to use as a sniper. I swapped out my Zeus on my Carnage for KwK's just to see if i liked the idea of being stationary and i did. For me its about having different bots for different situations on the battefield and i Think i will get that if i swap out my PDB Griffin for the KwK Fury. But as i said im only 75% sure atm so dont be affraid to suggest other setups.

For mobile midrange trident carnage is the way to go. |

Is there a particular reason our not considering a Lancelot? Its not good for long range. How many mid to long range do you need? Get your hands dirty and get the Chubbs and fight in the trenches. its where the excitement is and the chubbs is a beast. |

If you look at what i got then you will see that only one will be longrange (the Fury KwK) because i will swap it out for my carnage and then i will have 3 short range and 1 medium range. |

If you have the 5000g you may as well get the Fury. I have one with Tridents and is a good buy for those who squad with a clan, with or without communications. If you're going solo, however, go for the Galahad for sure
