User blog:Galleigo/My own unusual setups

Introduction
We've heard of many great common setups. Orkans and pinatas. Thunders and orkans. Zeus and gekko. All really easy to think about.. but there's some bots many consider unsuitable for such setups. Here are various unusual setups that seem really unsuitable for their bots, but once I explain it it'll all make sense.

Light robots
Cossack - 1 SMS Hydra.

Seems pretty lame, considering the hydra's pathetic firepower, but it actually works sometimes. Because of the range of the hydra combined with the Cossack's impressive mobility, you can take advantage of cover and take nearly no damage.

Gareth - 1 CRV Pin, 1 S-25 Tulumbas.

Wait - I though Gareth was a knifefighter?

Wrong again. I actually use this one actively. Generally you just have to stay at about 400m and put up your shield. Amazing way to obliterate meelee Natashas, Leos and other bots with mediocre mobility. Another interesting thing is that in Canyon, you can camp one of the beacons near your spawn while killing anyone in the centre beacon.

Destrier - 2 EP Magnums.

Not much firepower, decent compared to most bots in bronze and low silver. Can easily take out thunder bots from 350m without sustaining much damage. When I got this guy, I got 8 kills and 500k+ damage. On top of this, he is an excellent beacon capper. I had three matches in which I won 10 gold consecutively with this bot. Sadly, he is rendered useless in high silver and low gold or after you use him for a while. The magnums can be recycled onto a PDB griffin later.

Medium robots
Golem - 1 Zeus, 1 S-25 Tulumbas, 1 CRV Pin.

Hey, I thought I should use the HRS Trident?

Well, I thought of this when I got sick of shields so don't blame me...

Rogatka - 2 S-25 Tulumbases

See the gareth "RDB" setup.

Heavy robots
Natasha - 1 HRS Trident, 1 CRV Pin, 1 Zeus, 1 Gekko.

See the golem. This is the only setup I'm not very confident in, however.
