Another "Plz halp with wut I got" thread

One general rule of thumb in this game is that you should keep all of your bots and weapons around the same level, because MM only accounts for your strongest bot. Ag medium bots and light bots can be leveled slightly higher because MM doesn't weigh them as much. If one of your bots is far ahead of the rest, either get the rest to its level or take it out of the hangar for now, because it's pulling the rest of your hangar up. Also, there's a general consensus that mixing weapon ranges on a bot is a bad idea, so either replace the CRVs on the leos with Pinatas or Magnums or replace the Thunder with a Trident.

Most users here would agree that the Golem is no longer competitive at the level you play at, and the Leo, Griffin or Carnage will do better in its role. The Natasha is a highly questionable choice, and its weapons are too low level to really make a difference. Sniper bots are clinging on by a thread in the meta, and may be costing your team games. Consider replacing it with a Griffin, which is one of the best Ag bots and the the most common Ag bot in upper tier games. The Russian Death Button is very effective and cheap, but other setups might serve you better. Leos are pretty good bots for their price, but should be replaced when you have the money for better bots, which is honestly a long way off

As for the Rhino, it has had its day and is no longer the dominant bot, but still performs relatively well if played right. The Rhino depends a lot on its weaponry to be effective, and it's not very useful without Tarans or Orkans. The Tulumbas is sometimes used as a poor man's Orkan, but performs that role poorly and will get creamed by specialized close range bots. The Rhino is rarely used outside of close range for a reason, so keep that in mind if you are running one.

You should consider unlocking the fifth slot, as it will give your hangar a lot more staying power and versatility. Granted, you may not get to your fifth bot most of the time, but the extra slot gives you a lot more options in battle and is generally worth it. The Orkan and Galahad are both excellent gold purchases, and it's not unreasonable to get them before the fifth slot. As for weapons, try to keep the all the weapons on a bot the same weapon type, and try not to mix ranges. Generally, the shorter the range, the stronger the weapon. Tarans, Magnums, and Tridents are all good weapons for your WSP, so consider buying some of them.

I assume your clan play in trash gold since your bots are trash gold. Get rid of Natasha, in place, buy a rdb griffin, tulus and crv pins, all of them cost silver so it's a fast and easy mid range set up. If you like gekkos and want them to be part of your build, try Zeus/kwk/treb gekko Leo. You're almost up to a Galahad in gold, so it's up to you if you want to get a plasma Galahad or buy Orkans. Orkans will set you up for a db griffin, orkans and pinatas, very deadly burst damage. Plasma Galahad is an all round bot with a shield, good for capping, defending beacons and killing reds.

In the meanwhile, keep your Leos, they are the most functional bots in your hangar. Start with golem, get rid of golem. Get a plasma griffin, tarans and magnums. I don't recommend getting a rhino just yet, you need tarans and magnums, weapons before bots. A thunder carnage might not be that bad a choice though, since it comes with everything it needs.

You can also get magnums for your Leo, but I don't think it's that great. An interim thunder pinata Leo can work out too, just to stuff the gap while you are levelling weapons.

I suggest that if you do make changes, do it one bot at a time. It's going to take a while to level those weapons.

So some possible bots you can have, plasma griffin, db griffin or plasma Galahad, rdb griffin, gecko Leo, rdb griffin, magnum thunder Leo, thunder pinata Leo.

If possible, buy a Leo and store that level 8 Leo for now. If you do that, you must bench your Natasha as well. Keep your heavy bots at level 6 for now and level your weapons to 8.

Good luck, it's a lot of work but you will see that effort pay off as your weapons level up.

Because you're not in a wiki clan, you won't get blasted for gradually switching up your hangar seamlessly while playing in bronze.

Grab yourself a new set of the prescribed bots everyone's been saying to get, while getting the weaps you have and sticking them on Lvl 2 light bots. This'll get you through the switch while keeping your difficulty level as manageable as possible while you do so.

Don't have to listen to salt tho.

galahad is great and all, but it won't be of any use to you till you reach high silver/low gold. Keep on grinding man, it's worth it!

I am patient, it is just tempting to put the gold down on a cool bot, even if you can't equip it.  The GREAT news is I just won a Lancelot, which of course is another slow bot!, so I will work in a Griffin in place of the Pinata Leo, and probably the second in place of the Golem so I have some speed.  


My goal is to have one of each of the Knight bots now, since I have the most expensive one, and the gold is not too hard to farm, especially with the acceleration of the Snowflakes.  Man, I am so happy about how generous Pix is with these events!  The game is also so much more fun as people are playing a ton right now.

Most people will suggest Orkans for the Lancelot. But the Tarens won't go to waste if you are planning to get the other two brit bots anyway.

I'm not really properly in Gold tier.  My heavy hanger borders on Trash Gold.

But from what I hear most silver missile weapons work in Gold.  The exception being Spirals.

That is good advice, and that is exactly why I have felt that the Fujin would be a better bot then Raijin.
