I have reached my goal of level 9 bots and level 10 weapons. I have maybe a dozen bots at level 9 and a range of weapons at level 10. I 3/4 of the way through Expert 1. I am find Not the games pretty enjoyable right now. I usually contribute meaningfully to matches with the occasional beat down. I am debating whether to continue upgrading my main hangar or start upgrading some project-builds and play with new bots. I am pretty confident I can go to Laster with the hanger I have.
What do most people do? Rise until the top of stay and play in a decent environment?

Last January the Leagues hit. I stopped upgrading my high end hangar immediately and have remained oscillating in the neighborhood of Gold 1. Life is far more relaxing when you’re not chasing the illusion.

I stop upgrading everything at 9, and the only heavy I play is rhino occasionally. This keeps me between high diamond and mid expert, thus avoiding the majority of the doo-doo show

My original goal was to have two hangars (a midrange for Canyon, Yamantau, etc.) and a brawling hangar, and to take them to somewhere around 9/11 or so, then I figured to start leveling a 6/6 hangar. I'm still a little over a month before I start on the 6/6 hangar. Not sure where I'll go from there.

My main hangar target
- All bots level 12 (currently mixed 9 & 12)
- All weapon level 10 (currently mixed 9 & 10)
My 2nd hangar
- When I'm bored running the same bots setup then I will choose this
both hangar consist mixed setup that can work on all battle mode.
I don't like to have same bots in my hangar. and yes that means I have different bots for every slots. and varieties of weapons too.

So when you go to Mk2, do you pay Au to switch and then slowly build again disregarding your league standing? Do you drop a bit since your weapons are lower power until you get them back up to around Mk 2 Lvl 10? |

Do you drop a bit since your weapons are lower power until you get them back up to around Mk 2 Lvl 10? Correct 500 gold per weapon / bot which starts you off at Mk 2 lvl 1 which is 20% higher than standard. So for instance if a weapon does 100 dps at lvl 1 then lvl 1 mk 2 would do 120 dps and so on. As you say lvl 10 mk 2 is approx the same as lvl 12. Same with bots 100,000 HP becomes 120,000 HP for the given level. |

After you pay the 500 Au, you have to re-upgrade everything. Do you just do one weapon at a time all the way to Mk2 lvl 12? I wonder if it would be beneficial to put all weapons to Mk2 2 and just drop while they are upgrading again? |

Is it an agreement between gentleman pilots who wish to battle with all mechs set to the same level in order to compete in skill rather than "engine size". Lol. |

I keep upgrading - first it was to get a 12/12 hangar, which I achieved shortly after MKII was introduced. I had no interest in going through the whole thing again for an extra 20%, so then switched to upgrading alternative setups to mess around with; mainly longer range stuff as I had a knife-fight set up. More recently I acquired the Bulg and ST's in the xmas event, so I'm in the process of taking that to 12/12, which is taking quite a while. After that it'll be a Treb Butch which will take even longer.
I compete at the lower end of Champ and have been there for a while. I won't rise further unless I MKII, which isn't going to happen until I have nothing else I want to get to level 12 and that is a long, long way off, but I'm fine with that - unless I'm trying to get in the legend league there really isn't any point (and I don't play nearly enough for that to be viable).

Nearing my goal. I have two hangars of medium and light bots all but a few now reaching level 9. Gary, Stalker and Golemn are on the way up to follow jesse at mk2. All weapons at level 7 except tulus and pins at level 9. Just enough to keep me oscillating from gold 2-1.
Got a few skinned heavy bots from the events as well that I'll keep at level 6/6.

My goal right now is to get my main hangar to 12/12, but I think I'll go to MK2 with my carnage and maybe haechi first, because i want some extra ancile HP on those, which, as I understand, also gets that 20% bonus.

I have several accounts Carbonite some never go above 7/8 and 4 slots, others are 5 slots most bots at 6/6, then I might bump one of them to 9/9. Then one for giggles has a maxed MK 2 Destrier. My main on Android is 10/11 seems fine the way it is. My main on iOS is mostly 11/12 and 12/12 and the oldest of my accounts, also the least played. There are no rules that say you have to upgrade. If you find a happy place to play and enjoy the game is all that matters. ? |

I am still upgrading because I would like to have a maxed or near-maxed hangar in order to compete in Champions League. At the moment, my hangar is 9/10 and I've been recently promoted to Champions, but I can't keep up with reds because I'm always outgunned and often even outplayed. By upgrading I hope I will reduce the power gap, while improving my skills in the meantime.

What do most people do? Rise until the top of stay and play in a decent environment? That is the beauty of the game , if you don't want or need to be the 'best of the best' , then you can do what you want . I have no bots over level 10 and am currently floating around Expert III, but I have every bot at least once or twice or even three (minus two dash and an Inquisitor) and constantly change loads , ranges , light, medium, heavy. Do I want to be in Champions league ? Right now no , having way to much fun trying to fly and fire a hover or finding great ambush points for an ember carnage , or annoying Zeus Furies with Garry and his big brother Galahad. Someone posts the Champions league bots and weapons here (sorry no citation , apologies) and there are a limited number of bots and weapons being used , that's not were I want to be right now (like it is going to happen LOL). I just want to have fun , it is a game. But I will keep leveling , bots slowly, weapons faster , need more level 10 weapons , many more , a lot more, give me more. If you want to go to Champions , level 12 Mk2 is the way to go and that is a lot of Ag and time and grind , but the great thing about this game is the variety and diversity . So level / don't level , spend money / don't spend money , but have fun and good luck |

I enjoy riding that line between Expert 1 and Master 3. It's probably 25% - 30% Dash bots which isn't too bad. It's about %5 - 10% Shock trains during matches. You can play with something different like a Boa or Jesse and not get killed in 10 seconds. And match maker will only put you against a Champ squad maybe once or twice a night out of 15 games. Although it's bound to get worse with how the game is being managed.
I was running 9/10 hangars but have been upgrading everything now to 10/11 as the 12/12 Ember Inquisitors and eventual 12/12 Hydra Spectres start to seep into low Master. I will say that if it's under powered set up in the higher leagues then I'll take it to Mk2 to make it competitive again for example my punishers are Mk2 Lvl 12 on my Lvl 10 Punisher Galahad.
With all that said, I am always upgrading because it takes forever unless you fork over gold. I wanted to upgrade my tempest to 12 for a solid long/mid ranger when I only want one non-knife fighter and it took 12 days in wait time for two weapons. If I don't have anything that is critical to get upgraded then I just pick something, like a spare orkan or magnum from the event.
It's kind of like Work Shop Points for me. It's always running. I don't like to feel like time is wasted, so I constantly have something cooking.

There's a league called 6 pack league, where a bunch of people meet on a chat line and add eachother as friends. Then you can start a Custom Battle and invite those friends. It's growing and they have tournaments. There are some conditions. No Over Powered Weapons / Bots. i.e Dash bots, Ember, Shocktrains, Scourge, Inquistor. Only Level 6 bots and weapons So that you can use your skill to win rather than the advantages from said bots/weapons. |

My big account is stalled due to non use atm, but it's nearly all lvl 12 with a few max mk2 weapons. It will remain idle til random mode goes away.
2nd account is all lvl 6 (with no plans to go higher), currently midway thru Gold 1. I wanted to see where Glorious MM would settle me out, but with all the tankers moving up and down through the Leagues, it's hard to tell where I should be.
The MM would probably work pretty well if it weren't misused by so many. Yes, I've done it with my Lvl 6 account, too, back when I was Part of Problem, but I've changed my name and (at least for now), my conduct. Just playing it straight. I have a decent variety of stuff to use, but I prefer lights and mediums.

Carbonite , Concerning the current state of War Robots with a move toward "competative" E-Sports type structure, I think its wise to ascertain how you personally view this game with much consideration being given to your personal drive within games... Do you want to be 'The Best' of War Robots? You wanna reach Champion League? Legendary League? Be the leader or memver of a top ranked clan? Or are you like myself... Im a current fan of this genre as wellas Robotech, Battletech and Gundam. Im not interested in having the bigest swinging d*ck in the room or a big shot clan dude. I have played War Robots every day now for two years. Im currently E3 and have a fluctuation of one spot, up or down in leagues. I aim for L9 for most Meks and between L9–L11 for a vast majority of my weapons. Im satisfied with where Im at and my contribution to this game and its attatched community.

Upgrading in my sleep and with my eyes open, so yes incessantly. And I am in this situation exactly, upgrading bots and weapons I have obtained recently for knife fighting then finish my long range to level 12. Battling at the " tweenie" level of champs. I have no motivation at this time to grind to level to MK2, but I am sure as I continue to get my rear zapped by full hangar MK2 shocktrains that will change eventually.......the saga continues. |

I'm still upgrading. I set a target of 10/10 for my then-active hangar. Since then I've been playing around with different setups to settle on what loadouts work best that I'll want to max. That seems to change at least once a week, though I have at least three core bots that I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep running with. Ork Haechi is the only one I've maxed so far, everything else is still 10 with a couple of 11's. I think I've got the hangar I want to max now, but who knows what changes to that plan my next whim will bring. I also just burned through all my silver (again) going through my second gold-funded upgrade spurt, which fortunately (or unfortunately) will now give me plenty of time to change my mind again. And again. But at some point I'll end up with 5 12/12 loadouts, and then I'll take a look at what I'll want to bring along next. MK II's are still a LONG way off.

I was doing some calculations regarding the time/silver involved in levelling to Mk2 and am not really sure I want to devote that amount of time. I have slowed my play since the last event and don’t foresee it picking up much. I have enough resources to upgrade what I want and buy components towards the rest. I think I will stay where I am play around with builds and bots. |

Yup. As long as I have the resources for it, I keep upgrading my main hangar to shoot for max. Other stuff I might use usually stops at level 9.

yeah im not doing bots above lvl9. im doing weapons upto 10 that i run daily.
if an upgrade finishes during the day when i dont have time to play games, ill equip a lower lvl weapon that i want to try and upgrade it, then stick a longer upgrade on that night.
I find this works well if ive got upcoming builds to try... and their is always one : )
Ive only been playing 6 months and am in d2 with a lvl9 hangar... i dont, and am not skilled enough to brave higher!
So i wont upgrade what i run above lvl 9/10, just have more options over time : )

Didn't see this posted elsewhere in the thread:
If you are using Mk2 to boost your power rather than to unlevel bots amd drop leagues, then the most logical thing is to completely upgrade one bot or weapon at a time to Mk2 lv12. I doubt this will cause one to drop many League Points, even for bots, as the lower levels get done quickly and you are almost back where you started at Mk2 lv10 for weapons and lv8/9 for bots.
If you happen to have an extra bot or weapon at a decent level to substitute during the transition, that offsets it even more.
I'm currently working on the components for a Haechi. In anticipation of getting it, I brought a new orkan to Mk1 lv12 and am now pushing it to Mk2 max. If I don't get a Haechi by the time it is done, I can continue to create Mk2 orkans using the "extra" as a placeholder until it hits Mk2 lv11.
I have an extra taran at lv10 which could be a placeholder for Mk2 taran development too.

Have a few lvl.12 weapons some mk2 as well and the rest are mostly lvl.10 or lvl.11. Once you get entire hangar to lvl.12 I highly recommend getting the bots to mk2 first because they get 20% more health. I'm champion league on android. |

I have an extra taran at lv10 which could be a placeholder for Mk2 taran development too. There's been a lot of changes, so it should no longer take a year to upgrade a full set of weapons to L1 -> L12, MKII style. Someone farming ads, enough to get 1 Superchest a month, can repurpose those ads to speed upgrades. That will reduce time by 1/3. Also, Au is not as valuable for end game bots anymore, so again, use Au to speed upgrades. Best value is L12 upgrades, esp. heavy weapons first, then mediums. Meta at top is about 1 bot Orkan, 4 bots energy, so Tarans first will have the most benefit. The key here is being able to farm ads for most (AU too, but I'm assuming most have spent their Au for components and other things first). If you can do it consistently, then the times will really add up. I 'm so close to a Roachi, 20 more components to go that I will let the Bronze chests get the components for me. In anticipation, I've decided to get a 3rd Orkan to L12. Then level my Roachi. Then the Zeus + Shocktrain that I was working on. Then I will have a good set of bots and weapons at L10.5/12. After that, I don't know. I don't have a plan besides the analysis in my first paragraph of a possible path to MKII for me. I've done the math, and it's definitely doable within a reasonable time frame. |
