Natasha



"High durability and low speed. Designed for long-ranged combat"

Introduction
The Natasha is a heavy robot with 2 heavy and 2 light hardpoints. It was released in the first version of the game.

Strategy
This robot is build to be used for long-range support fire, it can act as a semi-mobile artillery platform, depending on the weapons attached to the light hardpoints. The Natasha’s slow speed and large size make it difficult make it an inefficient brawler, however, this robot can fill a mid-range support role. Comparable to the Fury in terms of its speed, size, and the role it fills, however, the Fury outperforms it in terms of damage.

Possible Setups
A very common build is the Natasha outfitted with two Trebuchets and two Gekkos, as these weapons both have the same range and damage type, however, they use different firing mechanics. Sometimes you will see two Zeuses in place of the Trebuchets, making for a solid mid-range setup. In earlier leagues it is popular for players to mount two Thunders in combination with two Pinatas, for very high burst damage, however, due to the slow speed of this robot, this build cannot compete well in the premiere leagues. Lastly, another early league build could be pair of Zenits with a pair of Noricum, helpful for putting pressure on snipers, but due to the low damage and slow projectiles, it isn't a viable option going forward.
