Has anyone put an Ancile on a Golem and had any luck? It seems especially useful now that the rockets have been buffed.
Thoughts?

Doing so will get you a slower, bulkier Gareth with an energy shield instead of physical shield. So far ive only met 2 of those, orkan/pinata and taran/magnum. Both ran by the same person. Apparently he just tried them for the first time or still practicing with them as both got blown up really quickly by plasma or thunders. Even if he mastered the bots, i doubt it would make much of a difference.

The Ancile Taran Magnum build is not bad.
I do not agree that it is a slower and bulkier Gareth. The two bots and builds are not comparable.
That's because Anciles and physical shields work quite differently. The Gareth shield is great against Plasma but is one-directional. On the other hand the Ancile has all round protection from rockets and most importantly, they recharge.
Also Golems have higher base HP (65%) compared to the Gareth. With the Ancile HP being rechargeable they can take a lot of hits and last a hell of a long time.
If you play the Golem as a support bot, corner shooting from cover at opportune moments, they can do a lot of damage. Any hit absorbed is a hit less for your team mates. Stalk behind a shielded bot like a Rhino and shoot from both sides (because a Golem is just wide enough to do that).
The next similar alternative is the Ancilot. More HP, physical shield, ancile, more firepower, faster with rush (49.8kmph), but at the same time bulkier than a Golem, much slower without rush (30kmph), much more expensive, and also a magnet for Reds.
I play the Ancile Taran Magnum build in Gold 3. It does well enough I think.

I played the Ancigolem for a while, and it's really fun. Power, eh, not so much. But as others have stated, it does last quite a while under careful piloting. Only reason I stopped running one, I fell in love with the rhino. And now I'm making a serious effort to climb up the leagues from diamond two.
