I scrimped and saved to unlock my 5th slot without properly planning for it. Since I just discovered this community late last month, I was unable to take advantage of the wealth of experience you guys/gals provide. So I come to you asking for help. I have a 5th slot that I'm having trouble filling immediately. The reasoning being the Gold. I only have 2k gold atm but I have 6k WSP and I'm saving for a Lancelot. I currently run:- 8/8 Hellfire Rhino
- 8/8 Pinata/Taran Griffin
- 8/8/8 Trident/Zeus/Carnage
- 8/8 Plasma Galahad
For my 5th slot in terms of preference: I already have a 7 Boa with 8 Thunder and open slot. *My first thought is to buy an ork and level it up to 8 but it will push back my buying a Lancelot. I can also just use a 5 pinata and buy a Taran to level that up while I save the 5k. or use my existing lvl 8 Stalker use 2 existing mags lvl 6 and lvl those up to 8 or just give in to my temptation and buy 2 aphids If I buy the ork, I can switch it over to the Galahad once I unlock Lancelot and use the 2 Tarans and the Thunder. |

I'd get the Orkan, delaying the Lancelot. I think you'll eventually want at least another one to make the Pinata/Taran Griffin into a Death Button or at least to give you options like that. Otherwise, I'd say use the Stalker for the moment.
Another thought is to put an Ecu on the Boa and use it as a beacon capper, but I have a hard time seeing that as being more effective than the Stalker. You can get another Taran soon, though.
Or get a Russian Death Button Griffin in there, which only costs silver. That would give you 2 midrange, though. Leo could be another placeholder, using the Boa's Thunder and Stalker's Mags, filling in the 3rd slot with Pinatas or Aphids.
Note, you have a better hangar than me, so feel free to disregard everything I say.

I would recommend a 2nd Galahad as opposed to a Lancelot, however I would get 4 Orkans before either of them and run a plasma rhino in replacement of your pinata/taran Griffin.

I agree with [AurN] perfectlyGoodInk, since you'll need the orkan anyway for your lancelot. No point in buying a bot you can't use because you don't have the weapons  |

I agree with CΛΜΡΞΓ™, because Orkans can be used anywhere and Galahads are much more versatile, whereas big chubby can only do you one job, and that's if you can do it right. I'd suggesting getting 4 Orkans and a 2nd Galahad as well. |
