Introduction[]
The Galahad is a medium robot with a medium and 2 light hardpoints.
Ability[]
The Galahad has a physical shield located on the robot's left side. The Galahad's Phalanx Mode ability lets it switch the shield from the side to the front.
When the shield is in front of the robot, the Galahad's front (where most damage is received) is now protected from kinetic and energy damage, but its speed is reduced by 20%. The Galahad's physical shield does not protect the Galahad from splash damage, and from special damage (flamethrower or Scald, Incinerator and Scorcher projectiles), or from special abilities' damage from the Mercury, Hellburner, Shell, Kid, and Arthur.
Strategy[]
The Galahad is a sturdy universal soldier, as while it excels in none of the base stats the robot is lacking in no aspect, and in addition features a hugely durable physical shield which is one of the record Tier 2 healthpools. As such, the Galahad is an extremely versatile unit that can be used in a variety of roles.
The Galahad's mediocre speed means that while it's not recommended to focus on this task, it is capable of going out of its way to capture an odd beacon. While doing this, Phalanx Mode should ideally be disengaged unless encountering an enemy, in which case the commander should bring it to the front to engage with them.
The Galahad is a very solid brawler. Its decent firepower and massively durable physical shield allow it to remain in the ring for an exceptionally long amount of time (provided the enemy doesn't have splash weapons), taking down enemies without losing much of its hull HP. However, its effectiveness in this role can vary significantly depending on the area. In a chokepoint, where the enemy has no room to maneuver around its shield, the Galahad is even stronger as a brawler. While in an open center beacon, enemies from all sides can attack the Galahad and bypass its shield, allowing them to get at the Galahad's squishy hull. As such, the Galahad should ideally be in enclosed environments before engaging with an enemy in close-quarters.
The Galahad can be used as a mid-range and sniper too. Its decent firepower allows it to chip at enemies' health from afar, while its physical shield allows it to withstand anything the enemy happens to throw back at the robot. In addition, the Galahad can deactivate Phalanx Mode and use the extra speed to retreat while it needs to reload.
Commanders should always remember to use Phalanx Mode strategically. If covering ground with no enemies nearby, Phalanx Mode should be deactivated for the extra speed. While 1v1ing, Phalanx Mode should always be active in order to attack the enemy. While 2v1ing, the Galahad should always rotate the shield to whichever enemy is strongest (which it ideally should be focusing on, so this is a synonym for always active). If the Galahad happens to be ambushed by a splash-damage-only build, it is actually recommended to rotate the shield away from the enemy, as it would offer no protection anyway and lose unnecessary health. Doing so will conserve HP for any future engagements (if the Galahad survives) and also offer protection from any enemies on the left.
A universal strategy for the Galahad if using lock-on weapons is to use manual aiming-it will project a green box on either side of the crosshair. If the commander puts the enemy on the very left of the green box while Phalanx Mode is inactive, the robot can conceivably have the shield facing the enemy while having their weapons trained on them and maintaining its original speed.
Counterplay: A massive portion of the Galahad's health is inside its physical shield, so anything that shreds physical shields is great against the robot. Using splash weapons and kinetic weapons can quickly bypass/obliterate the shield, while homing weapons can simply bypass it. Using a robot with a decent speed can also be useful against the Galahad, as it can get close to it while if it tries to escape and try to circle the Galahad to get to the robot's vulnerable rear.
Threat Measure: The Galahad is a decent all-round robot with a very strong physical shield. If the robot's shield is used strategically, the robot can be a mediocre-high threat as a Tier 2 robot. However, if the shield isn't conserved and used up completely, the robot presents only a low threat even for a Tier 2 robot.
Possible Setups[]
These setups are recommended for the Galahad:
Note: 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.
Close Range (350m or less)[]
Mid-Range (500-600m)[]
Overview[]
Strong close range setups include Magnums / Taran, Pinatas / Orkan, Gusts / Storm, or Punishers / Punisher T. Combining a Scourge with two Sparks makes for a very formidable close-range and mid-range setup, due to the Galahad excelling at closing in on enemies that are using non-rocket setups.
Not recommended[]
- The use of long range weaponry, as they do not deal enough damage to affect the enemy health pool considerably in the short run.
