Introduction

The Behemoth is a medium robot with 4 heavy hardpoints.It is unofficially classified as a heavy robot based on wiki criteria.

The Behemoth is a formidable fighter at long and medium distances, but its lack of mobility and relatively low defense makes it vulnerable to short-range combat engagement.

The Behemoth closely resembles the fan-submitted concept by the name of “Sledge”.

Abilities

This robot's ability is named Siege Mode. Upon activation, Behemoth remains stationary, and moves its 2 Heavy Weapons in the middle upright to firing position, being able to fire 4 heavy weapons simultaneously 3 seconds after ability activation. 4 heavy weapons is unprecedented in War Robots, providing high damage output, sometimes able to "one shot, one kill" enemies with high damage per second (DPS) weapons such as the Trebuchet, Redeemer, and Dragoon.  

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 mobile again.

Strategy

Behemoth has high health and immense firepower, giving it unparalleled advantage in fire power, so players engaging the Behemoth should approach under 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 Shenzhen, Springfield and Canyon.  

Behemoth is one of the four robots with a toggle-able ability that disables the robot's movement when activated. The others are Fujin, Raijin 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 spread shot weapons (machine guns, shotguns) and explosive weapons are effective and dangerous to the Behemoth. To counter these dangers, mid-long range setups (such as Dragoon, Trebuchet, and Tempest) and rocket setups (such as Exodus, Avalanche, and Trident) or Ember is ideal.

Behemoth is vulnerable when activating / deactivating its ability since it is stationary 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. Usage of the Phase Shift module is highly advised and 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. 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 under cover by continuous fire.

Behemoth should be used to support a squad by taking out other mid- to long-rang bots and weakening enemy tanks. If using Quantum Radar, the Behemoth is a great counter to stealth bots such as the Ao Jun.

Threat Measure

It is the only robot with 4 heavy weapons, giving it the highest DPS (Damage per Second) 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 one shot, one 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 four short-range weapons (i.e. Avenger, Avalanche, Calamity, Ember, Exodus, Glacier or Redeemer) can make this a fearsome opponent. 

Not Recommended

• The use of the Nashorn and Zenit  are not recommended due to the relatively low damage, with many robots in the current meta (as of 2020) having the Dash, Stealth or Transcendence Ability, which enables them to dodge of straight up ignore kinetic sniper fire at range. Both weapons can also be blocked by physical and energy shields, which are commonplace in the mid-high leagues.
• However, at max levels (and with additional pilot skills and bonuses) Kang Dae can be a three-to-five shot robot killer, with 4 long-range heavy weapons quickly taking down energy shields and decreasing HP by half with a single volley.
• The use of the Thunder and Glory are not recommended due to bullet spread of each weapon's shotgun-like nature. The use of the Calamity is also not recommended.
• The Zeus is also not recommended as a brawler as the Zeus has a low DPS, and after 2 shots the Behemoth's ability will run out, and if opponents have tempest or avenger you will probably be destroyed.
