Introduction[]
The Behemoth is a medium robot with 4 heavy hardpoints. It is unofficially classified as a heavy robot based on wiki criteria. Despite the high health and the high firepower, the behemoth is a slow target..
Abilities[]
This robot's ability is named Siege Mode. Upon activation, Behemoth becomes 50% slower, and moves its 2 heavy Weapons in the middle upright to it's firing position, being able to fire 4 heavy weapons simultaneously after 3 seconds of the ability activation. 4 heavy weapons is unprecedented in War Robots, providing high damage output, sometimes even being able to one-shot kill enemies with high damage per shot weapons such as the Thunder, Glory, Devastator, Stake, Brisant, Trebuchet, Zeus, Thermite, Dragoon, Redeemer, Gauss, Decay and Hornet.
The deactivation of the ability takes 3 seconds, in reverse order: upon deactivating, Behemoth loses the ability to fire its 2 middle heavy weapons, then 3 seconds later Behemoth is more mobile again.
Strategy[]
Behemoth has high health and immense firepower, so players engaging an enemy Behemoth should approach using cover or with protective shielding to get into an optimal position to destroy the target. Behemoth is particularly devastating in long, open maps such as Yamantau, Springfield, and Canyon.
Behemoth is one of the two robots with a toggle-able ability that slows the robot's movement when activated. The others are Fujin and Weyland.
Despite its advantages, Behemoth is similar to both the Natasha and Fury, having a large frame, mediocre speed, and slow agility. This means that weapons with bullet spread (machine guns and shotguns) and explosive weapons are effective and dangerous to the Behemoth. To counter these dangers, weapons with 600m-1100m range are ideal.
Behemoth is vulnerable when activating or deactivating its ability since it is slowed massively and only able to fire 2 weapons. Behemoth pilots should carefully choose their position, maximizing cover while still having the ability to target enemies out in the open. The Phase Shift module can help in mitigating Behemoth's vulnerability.
Fast and agile robots can quickly close in and circle the Behemoth, making it difficult for the Behemoth to counter them. As a precautionary countermeasure, the Lock-Down Ammo or the Paralysis Drone module would be advised. When piloting a Behemoth it is critical to keep smaller and faster robots at bay by killing them when they are in the open or keeping them suppressed and undercover by continuous fire.
Behemoth should be used to support a squad by taking out other mid- to long-range bots and weakening enemy tanks. If using Quantum Radar, the Behemoth is a great counter to stealth bots such as the Crisis.
Similar to other robots with a big build, high firepower, and below average groundspeed, a Behemoth is vulnerable if it is targeted by a flanker or a brawler. To avoid this, the Behemoth should stay behind its teammates and make sure no enemy gets within a dangerous range.
Threat Measure
It is one of the two robots with 4 heavy weapons useable at the same time, giving it the second highest DPS (Damage Per Second) after the Crisis, allowing the Behemoth to unleash devastating damage.
Possible Setups[]
These setups are recommended for the Behemoth:
Each slot type is filled with only one particular weapon. For example, if a robot has 3 light all three of those slots are filled with Pinatas, as mixing weapons of the same slot type is not advisable.

Overview[]
Due to its large frame, mediocre speed, slow flexibility and lack of shielding, the use of the Behemoth as a close-range brawler can be a double edged sword. While the damage from four heavy weapons can create a potentially devastating insta-kill robot, the (shorter) reload times of many short or mid-range weapons on other (shielded) robots make use of Behemoth as a brawler a high risk/high reward option. However, an aggressive or even 'Kamikaze' style-of-play using 4 short/mid-range weapons (i.e. Avenger, Smuta, Avalanche, Calamity, Ember, Exodus, Glacier, Hel, Decay, Dragoon, Redeemer, Glory, Devastator, Hammer, Stake or Brisant) can make the Behemoth a fearsome opponent. Furthermore, whilst mass mounting is common and often recommended, the use of two reaper on the permanent slots and two trebuchet on the ability slots can be effective at long range.
Not Recommended[]
- The use of the Nashorn, Kang Dae and Zenit are not recommended due to the relatively low damage the the inability to bypass Aegis Shields, with many robots in the current meta (as of 2023) having Stealth or Aegis Shields, which enables them to block sniper fire at range.
- However, at MK3 (and with the Shieldbreaker effect, additional Pilot skills and other damage bonuses), 4 Nashorns or Kang Does can be a 3 to 5 shot robot killer as they can ignore energy/Aegis shields and decrease HP by a lot with a single volley.
