1. Griffin with Molots and Molot-Ts

Is there any bot in the game that has been more consistently reliable than the Griffin? Tough, armed to the teeth with offensive capabilities, and equipped with a jump ability, the Griffin is one of a few non-premium robots that is effective all the way up to the highest levels in the game. Armed with Molots and Molot-Ts, the Griffin can wear down ancile shields, and take out long-range snipers. Its bullets also do extra damage to hard shields, making it especially deadly to Lancelots, Galahads and Gareths.

2. Griffin with Orkans and Pinatas

Ah, the good old-fashioned “Death Button.” This build earned its nickname years ago, thanks to its ability to drop reds virtually instantly. And while some people still swear by the Tulumbas and CRV Pins version, the plague of ancile-equipped bots makes the Orks and Pinatas version much more effective. The key, of course, is to play ambush predator. The minute you stumble out into the open, you are asking to be killed by Shocktrains, Trebuchets, and all manner of weapons. So bide your time, wait for your moment, and then strike swiftly — and decisively.

3. Carnage with double Zeus

I know, I know, you’re thinking, “But Pappy, Carnage costs Workshop Points, and Zeus costs Gold.” Well, you know what Pappy is thinking? “What, are you sponsored by Kleenex? Stop your damn crying! Did you honestly think everything in life is free?!?” Carnage is one of the most useful non-OP bots in the game. Its Ancile shield keeps you relatively safe from concussive missiles, and the Zeus allows you to play the “hide-and-hurt” style that’s crucial to surviving in this Dash-eat-Dash world. Plus, the 600-metre range of Zeus is a great counter to the 500-metre range of Shocktrains.

4. Natasha with Tridents and CRV Pins

If War Robots was an Archie Comic, then Fury or Butch — sexy, exotic, and expensive — would be Veronica, while poor old Natasha would be Betty — sturdy, reliable, and always there to pick up the pieces after you’ve been dumped by your latest flame. Natasha is a cheap date — she can be bought for silver. And with Tridents and CRV Pins, she can smash anciles and hard shields alike. The area effect of the shells is also great for targeting Reds that are cockily hiding around corners with their OP gear.

5. Natasha with Zeus and Gekkos

Natasha — a lady so nice, I had to mention her twice. Since Pixonic gives you gold reward missions every day, it shouldn’t take long to buy the weapons for this build, which is especially great for targeting Dash bots. Just keep your distance, keep the target locked, and then watch with glee as Shocktrain Haechis melt before your eyes.

So don’t despair, pilots. While having MKII maxed Dashes and OP new weapons is nice, it’s also a luxury that many pilots simply can’t afford, or easily obtain. But with the hangar above, you too can hand out some “life lessons” on the battlefield, just like the Pappy family.

Now, I have to run — school bell’s ringing, and class is in session. Time to dole out some “homework” to some unsuspecting Dash pilots!

(this guy : ALL BULLSHEET. IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO SPEND 100$ A ROBOT THEN YOU ARE DEAD.
EVERY UPDATE INCLUDES WEAPONS DESIGNED TO BE FAR SUPERIOR TO THE GUNS OR ROCKETS YOU SPENT A YEAR TO UPGRADE. OH YOU HAVE A MK2 BOT AND M2 WEAPONS ? SORRY, YOU CAN NOW BUY GUNS AND BOTS THAT WILL HAVE MITIGATION FOR ALL PAST WEAPONS. ANYTHING YOU DO IS USELESS. YOU WILL DIE WITHIN SECONDS, NO EVEN MATCHES.NO LEAUGE LEVEL MATCHES. PAY TO PLAY. FUCK THIS GAME. THEY LIVE OFF UNDERAGE KIDS USING DADDIES WALLET)

Me: i disagree in some ways like i have an entire hangar of t4 bots and t4 weapons to go around to everyone. there is the start you feel good. there is the dark age you feel bad then through
luck ,and waiting you start felling better. be there every day (even if just checking in) and take some of the stuff the game gives tto you every year they have a halloween update and a cristmas
update they give around t4 bots and weapons and data pads and gold.
then soon you stock up just work hard

This would be anyhow competetive 8 years ago. Now it's absolutely useless. If you play the game you will win a lot of random weapons etc, make use of them. Don't waste resources on trash weapons like orcans or zeuses (I'm a fan but realistically, they suck) instead focus on leveling up solid builds. Everyone on steam gets a free fenrir. Put 2 punishers and a thunder on it. You will probably win random robots and weapons over time from various events or what not, make use of them. Upgrades are the most important part of the game. Realistically, as a f2p player you won't get too far anyway so you might as well focus on slowly leveling up weapons and bots. You can probably get to expert, maybe even master as a F2P. Champion is possible and I know such a person, but this requires enourmous amount of grind. Is it really worth it? Robocraft better
