The king is dead, long live the king...?
Patience is not my strong suit. Wait for weeks/months/? for Dash? No I won't. Wait to level up what I have? Maybe I can. But why not take a chance and buy a Lance?

My orks work better in griffs now I could field a thunder/orkan, or tarancilot if I cannabilize from my plasma griff (or my plasmahad). Need to pick up one more taran anyway. Or I can not get the lance at all. I'm running 3x Griff (db, rdb, plasma), plasmahad, thunder carnage, levelling up 2x zeuss as an alternate to thunder on the carny. I should level up what I have, but have the itch for something new and shiny to blow up.

With the new BUFF, and the new BOT's do out this summer.. I wouldn't touch a Lancelot until all that is done.. Not spending 5000au on a Bot right now.. with the Dash Bots coming out, the new weapons, the way the new Buff's PIX just put in, is in reality NERF's to the Lancelot..
I could think of a ton of other things to do with 5000au
just sayin..

Actually what triggered my lance lust again was watching recent/current vids of champ players, still running lances to good effect. And when will the Dash come? Kind of an unknown. I'll just burn the gold rushing upgrades - which may be moer useful now anyway.

Plasma Lancelots are effective against mkI & mk2.

I'll just burn the gold rushing upgrades - which may be moer useful now anyway. I had 21000au and burnt through a half lvl'ing up weapons, painting a few bots.. everything but buying a Lance.. and I do love the Lance and I too watch a ton of Vids.. See how they are very baddass in the right hands.. Spend the 5000au on buying the bot, then how much more to lvl it up to where its useful in game play at the lvl your at? I want to see how the summer is going to shake out before I invest in a 5000au bot that they just Nerf'd with the newest Buff's.. .

I can say that 2 RDB GRiffins can take ancilot, lancelot down in seconds now when Tulumbas and Pins have increased in damage.

I planned for about two months on getting Galahad and Lancelot until the ver 2.9 update. That's out the window now thx to the rockets buff.
I'll save up Au for the Dash bots instead, which is their most likely currency.

yeah I bought the Galahad prior to 2.9, and it kicked butt, now not as much but still a good tool. Yes leveling the Lance crossed my mind as well, will take some time.
I play currently in Gold III, with my 7/8 hangar, works ok. Piloting skills need more work than anything, which is a matter of time and experience.
It would be wise to wait I suppose, can always buy the lance later if I still want it. Upgrades would do me more service now. Low on silver in any case (always) so need to get back to the battle.

Ive actually been having lots of fun with my tulu fujin. Taking out rdbs, gareths, galahads and even the occasional lance.
Gonna put the tulus on a mk2 hopefully....or the 3 orkans ive got mothballed in storage.
Bottom line is the brit bots arnt the gods of war they were prior to 2.9. Ie biggest meta shake up since....well...ever.

Ancilot is the least affected by patch 2.9. If you're going to go for it, that's the route you should take.

I wouldn't assume that the Dash Bots will be available outside of an event. Could be wrong, but look at the wild bunch.

I have taken a Griff and armed it with Punishers on one side and DB on the other.. easy to use this way.. and it is fairly successful at putting serious hurt on the Ancilot if you have a teammate with you, all the better.. the shield comes down rather quickly

But there were other big shake ups to the meta before that. You must not have been around long. It seems to me like the era of the Britbots was shortlived though. Kinda embarrassing really.

The way they rolled out this game-changing update, I have a feeling they are doing things differently this time. Could it be that we are going to see new bots go straight-to-store?

I always wanted a Lancelot. I like the name, the look, the shields, the hardpoints and his special ability. Due to the Rocket buff, i am so unsure if i should buy one or not. I wanted to put an Ancile on him, but ... hmmm ... oh well

It would be nice, its possible, just don't have confidence in them that they will. Hope I'm wrong. Wish they would get of their butts on the wild bunch.

Only if you have orkans or tarans to go on it. I used to run 2 of them. Now only one. An tarancilot. My orks work better in griffs now I could field a thunder/orkan, or tarancilot if I cannabilize from my plasma griff (or my plasmahad). Need to pick up one more taran anyway. Or I can not get the lance at all. I'm running 3x Griff (db, rdb, plasma), plasmahad, thunder carnage, levelling up 2x zeuss as an alternate to thunder on the carny. I should level up what I have, but have the itch for something new and shiny to blow up. I have 3 lance's. 2 I purchased and a third that sits in the back hangar from this last event. I can say that my thunder ork lance is no longer used. With the rocket buff, if your going to run a lance, you better invest in an ancile as well. They are still awesome to have in your hangar, but not without an ancile. I will say in gold 3 and your current hangar. I would hold off on purchasing one right now. You should focus on leveling your bots to 9 and get your weapons to at least 10. With RDB's and the new dash bots coming out, your correct with leveling your Zues' at the moment. I would get them leveled to 9 and only focus on leveling those weapons at the moment. Then start leveling your other weapons to 9. Then bots to 9. Then level weapons once again to 10. By this point dash bots should be out. Which I have to agree that they will probably be an event only grab bag like the wild bunch, as was mentioned. Either way, by this point you'll know if the Lance is worth it by then. Get that Zues Carnage up to speed... that would be my first investment

I'm trying out the Zuess Carnage now, but it's a bit frustrating with L7 Zuess, maybe go back to my L9/8 Thunder for now.

I know some may say otherwise, but I'd still run them at 7. Keep on leveling them up, and play them with each level. It'll teach you how to use them, and feeling/seeing the difference when using them at the different levels is just plain fun! lvl 7: "meh, their alright..." lvl 8: "wait, wait... these aren't that bad..." lvl 9: "now we're talking... come get a taste of my Zues!" lvl 10: "ZZZZAAAAPPPP!!!! mofo's!"

Mixing and matching weapons evenly by bot sides (left/right when able to) is just a way to further hamper yourself IMO. Why not Punishers and Orkans? Piñatas and Punisher Mk2s? Now you're set for the same uses you described, but also for any corners you come across. And I used to use a Punisher Tulumbas Griffin that was fun in Silver for awhile for the same purpose.
