If you are going to play for some long time - yes.

If you want just to play a game for several weeks - then no, you will be better off with Galahad\Orkan\Rogatka\Aphid\whatever

Why you need 5th slot?

(again, it's all about iOS)

1) In Gold1+ more and more games are finished when your team is running out of robots. And most of the time it is enough just for two team members to be out, while enemy is at 6 bots.

2) If you are willing to play ALL the maps, and do NOT skip any - you need different bots for different maps. Usually you are playing 1 beacon runner, 2 midrange, 2 brawlers. Or maybe 2 brawlers, 1 sniper, 1 midrange, 1 beacon runner. But in any case, you MUST have 2 brawlers, to have advantage upon the enemy. For example, my Molot Griffin is not doing any good at Dead City, but he is magician on Canyon and Yamantau.

3) Sometimes you need to throw your bot into certain death to contain the enemy. For example, on Yamantau or Canyon I can walk my Leo into a fight and hold enemy Rhinos\Griffins\Galahads for time enough to hold beacon and let my teammates come. So I can loose a bot in a 20-30 seconds fight, but our team is keeping the beacon. This is painful if you have only one brawler.

4) It is good to have 1 splash damage bot, 1 plasma bot, 1 long range bot and 1 very fast bot in reserve. You can use, for example, Rhino as a beacon runner AND plasma bot, but not every role can be combined.

5) If your hangar is 5 slots - you usually won't be afraid to fight, and you can keep pressing enemy.

So, all in all it is NOT required to play a game, if you just like to shoot around. But if you want to be successfull - you need it, the soner - the better. Just buy Leo+Thunder+3pinata and do NOT update it, if you are having problems upgrading bots. Leo is already at lvl6, and his HP is very good. And even unupgraded Pinata can destroy Garet\Galahad, and make Rhino\Lancelot hurt.
