This robot is not very good up close because, due to its slow speed, it cannot run away and take cover fast or actually approach enemy robots at close range (it takes FOREVER to do that, believe me - I know).

I would recommend the Tridents, but the Magnums have a range of 350 m vs the 600 m range of the Tridents, rendering them ineffective because it takes so long to get within 350 m of any bot with the Natasha. The closest thing range-wise to the Tridents in the light weapon category is the Pin with a range of 500 m. You should probably use those, but if you really want to be able to use the whole 600 m range you want Gekkos, which can basically stretch across the whole map. Keep in mind that Gekkos aren't the best weapon for medium range combat, though... they aren't that powerful damage-wise but can freak robots out (I know they do for me. I hate that beam of light).

If you don't have to use the Natasha, by all means don't. And, if you do, DO NOT USE ZENITS. Just don't. Other people on your team will hate you and you will make your team lose.

I used the Natasha for a while. Honestly, after a few battles, it dawned on me that this bot is REALLY ANNOYING to pilot. SOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOW.

Another setup option is Trebuchets + Gekkos. However, they need to be upgraded a lot to deal significant damage, and DO NOT REMAIN IN A SNIPING BOT FOR TOO LONG. You will be effectively depriving your team of one member if you just keep sniping the whole time. What I found when I was experimenting with sniper setups is that I would lose track of the time and realize I wasn't really doing anything after it was too late.

Good luck, take care, and buy a Leo. It's a lot better.
