In my opinion the Gareth just isn't viable, because I know you can shred a Leo in 12 seconds, but to do that you have to:

-Be at point-blank range, shotgun weapons are less effective at longer ranges due to bullet spread. From my experience, to successfully reach close/point blank range without dying or losing nearly all your health, you have to either have a LOT of health, like in a Raijin or Leo, or you have to have enough firepower to quickly blow enemies up. Unfortunately the rockets fire so quickly, do splash damage, AND explode if they are close to you, that agility isn't enough to evade or survive them, especially DB fire.

The Gareth's main weakness is its low BASE health...which is there to compensate for the high health of its physical shield. The problem here (the same with a Galahad, but to a lesser extent) is that the Gareth has even LOWER health meta-wise because it's a light bot, PLUS the fact that its base health is low for even a light bot. Rockets do splash which bypasses your physical shield...so when a Gareth is against a DB/RDB, it might as well not have its shield, as it doesn't have the shield's protection when against rockets. Its health is so low that even RDBs can almost kill it in one salvo.

However, that is only my opinion and from what I have seen....if you want to keep using the Gareth, by all means do because it's a fun bot to use (my Thunder Raijin was once killed by a Storm/Gust Gareth on Shenzen when I had just entered Gold II...it may even have been you!)
