The Taran Rog or Orkan Rog or Taran/Orkan Rog are all exception beacon runners that can kill all other beacon runners and give a stout defense against even a heavy bot. This is the only bot that can perform the jump to the Dead City enemy spawn beacon platform and defend it (the Cossak is too weak and the Griffin won't get there before the match is near over).

The Rogs level 12 health is high enough that iit cannot be crippled or killed by one shot from a Fury - which means its mission continues (are you really doing to allow another shot to land???).

So for me - as my mission is asserting beacon dominance, the Rogatka is absolutely viable in top tier.

Now as far as using the Taran on it or the Orkan I've used either the dual Orkan or Orkan/Tarran combo (currently using dual Orkans). The dual Tarran doesn't help you against a full strength Rhino and it limits your defense/attack strategy. The Orkan widens your definitions of what is an acceptable shot due to its wide area of splash damage and thus widens your attack/defense options (I blow away a Stealthed Stalkers on Dead City easily due ease of catching them next to walls) - how are you going do that with a Tarran?
