As we all know War Robots is a very demanding game, so I thought it might be useful to create a guide for people who want decrease the resolution of their phone or tablet without having to root it for better performance in War Robots. Thankfully, this is very easy to do if you have a PC and very hard to screw anything up permanently, but use this guide at your own risk! I recommend reading the entire guide before attempting this.
1) Install ADB fastboot on a PC in a folder (Download it here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979)
2) Go to Developers Options in Settings and enable USB Debug Mode and possibly OEM unlock on your Tablet/Phone (If you don't see Developers Options in settings, click on About Tablet/Phone in Settings and then Tap the "Build Number" rapidly until it says you are a developer).
3) Connect the PC to the Tablet/Phone physically with a USB cord.
4) Open a command window in the PC folder ADB is installed in (hold down shift and right click on the folder while it is open) to open a command window.
5) Connect the PC to the tablet by typing "adb shell" in the command window
6) You can check the current Tablet/Phone resolution and DPI by typing "wm size" and can check the DPI by typing "wm density" (might be a good idea to write them down so you can restore them easily).
7) Change the resolution of the Tablet/Phone it by typing the command "wm size XXXXxXXXX" replacing the X's with the desired resolution (see a list of resolutions below).
8) Change the DPI to match the resolution using the "wm density XXX" replacing the X's with the desired DPI (see below).
You may have to reboot your device to see the change. The new resolution will remain through reboots and such, and won't change until you adjust it again using ADB fastboot.

It is important to know what aspect ratio you are using. You can find that out by matching the resolution of your Tablet/Phone to one on the list below (note the tablet or phone might use a 4:3 or 9:16 aspect ratio, in which case you'll just reverse the numbers below). DPI settings for each resolution aren't an exact science, so you'll have to play around with them to find one you like.
3:4 Resolutions (for most tablets):
1080x1440 - 225 dpi
1125x1500 - 230 dpi
1140x1520 - 230 dpi
1200x1600 - 250 dpi
1392x1856 - 290 dpi
1440X1920 - 300 dpi
1536x2048 - 320 dpi
16:9 Resolutions (for most phones)
1152×648
1280×720
1366×768
1600×900
1920×1080
2560×1440
3840×2160
Here is a video that also details this (though the video increases resolution, which would decrease performance, we want to decrease resolution to increase performance):
