I just keep upgrading. Working on getting ma weapons to Mk.2 now.. lol it's a long way to go! 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? Having more of a specific weapon type than you actually need helps. You can swap out until the mk2 upgrade is done. I had 4 Punishers and 4 Geckos at MK1 lvl 12, but was only using 3 each on Leo's. I Mk2'd one to lvl 12 and swapped out until they were all maxed.

I don't think I'll ever get to MKII. My most utilized bots are 9/7 (I know they should be 7/9). I'm leveling weapons constantly now. Once those are 12/12, I'll level the rest of my bots to 12/12. That should take me into 2019 hahah. I have 14 bots at various levels and a lot of additional weapons so I can swap loads on my bots. I guess I'll eventually buy more bots and designate loads so it's easier to change my hangar profile. Do I ramble? a little. Got a little excited about future prospects.

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? After I reached 100% mk1 lvl 11 I was able to climb all the way to champion. Now that I'm here I miss diamond and expert, champion league has the highest percentage of coiners and the guys Shockasari's are playing entire matches without dieing and getting over 1.5 mil damage without trying the highest damage I have seen that mech get in a match was just under 2mil! My clan has a strict NO TANKING policy, pilots caught tanking are asked to leave the clan. I imagine lower leagues do not have nearly as many tankers and coiners as champion. Every league has them there is no escape but for less of them?

Do you drop a bit since your weapons are lower power until you get them back up to around Mk 2 Lvl 10? Well I would use the 500 Au to enhance to Mk.2 first, then probably around 50 Au to speed it up to lvl.3. Thereafter I just continue to grind and utilize the 20min reduction ads etc. I will only enhance one weapon at a time though, example a Plasma Rogatka, I'd make sure one of it is maxed out Mk.2 before I enhance the other one. And no, I don't really drop in my league standing, climbing still, but slowly... LOL too many STs around and jumping fire breathers (the inquisitors)

I tried out the Redeemer at L9, very underwhelming. The fire rate/pattern is so out of sync with the Taran. I am now leveling a spare Taran & Orkan to L11. They will be place holder for Mk2 upgrades and if I ever get a dash I will have a set ready to go.

About 1 in 20 games, I find what I'm looking for. It might be Gold 2 / playoffs for Gold 1, is too high for the hangar.

Master isn’t too different from Expert now. The real obvious change in play experience occurs now at the border of Master and Champion League. As long as you stick around in Master i think you’ll probably get the most out of your games, especially if more players go back to Champ when supply drops hit. I think you’ll find your way to Master 1 eventually with your equipment. Once there it’s probably best to stay there unless you want to mix it up with players 3 levels above you...

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. This doesn't quite make sense. You recommend leaving bots at 9 until weapons are 12, but then once everything is 12, you recommend Mk2'ing the bots first?

I am seeing a lot of hangars stronger, with 11/12 gear, and occasional over-powered players. The biggest variable is player motivation: no capping, fading etc. But overall I have been pretty satisfied with MM. I guess sort of like you, I feel like there is always a slow rise. If you are semi-competent, it seems you can do just enough to keep moving up. Hard to find a sweet spot where you are content to keep playing with manipulating the results a little.

My concern is finding my way higher. I’m sure Incould keep slowly climbing, it just seems everyone else gets a little stronger. Even now I am starting to really notice the discrepancy in weapons between level 12 adversaries. There is not much room for error on my part and my level 10 weapons, while packing a punch, often don’t have enough -umph- when I need it. I have a few more little projects to tidy up then need to decide....

For mk1, the weapons increase by 10% each time, but bots don't get 10% increase per level until it's mk2 so I do weapons first to 12 and then when bots are level 12, I go mk2 them for more durability because 10% each level for 2 levels in mk2 goes a long way. The lance gets an extra 34,000 hp with just those two extra levels. P.S. I think I just saw you in my match. Thanks for the tempest carnage support

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. Interesting. Back before the leagues, I was told that saying in low silver by not leveling up my bots was "stagnating" and was considered a clubber. Now it seems this is ok. Dont get me wrong here. I think its really smart what your doing and totally cool by me I just find it funny how before the league system, In the eyes of many if you didnt constantly try and level up you were accused of being a seal clubber. Funny how attitudes change about the game over time.

Thanks for the tempest carnage support Mk2 is 20% more on everything, so I don't think it changes the ratio between bots and weapons. Doing some quick HP vs DMG ratios in Excel the change is exponential. So if you are 3 level difference between the Red you're facing at for example level 4 vs lvl 7, is not as dramatic as for example lvl 9 vs lvl 12. This is the major underlying issue that I might start a new thread on. I need to crunch some numbers but preliminary data collaborates this. but what I see means that you should probably sit in lvl 6 gear and if you face guys that are lvl 8-9, skill has more impact against lvl 9 vs lvl 12 where skillfullness allows for you to get in the extra shots means little when you're pulverized in 3 hits. There is a huge wall i've hit.. It's Shocktrain/Ember where guys can easily get 1+mill dmg, while they aren't doing that dmg to me per say, they are to our team or against it, so while I might be the best player on the team, I will score in the middle of the pack because I just dont have the firepower to keep up with DIESS (nor is there enough time to make up for it).

I think it's most beneficial for shielded bots since they get hp increase and also ancile/physical shield buff too. And there's only 5 bots you need to mk2. Just do them and get them out of the way. A lot of weapons to do and will take a long time.

The increase of HP/dmg with levels is geometric, not exponential. Since bots get 7% and weapons get 10%, the absolute difference increases with higher levels, but the relative difference stays the same. The increase with Mk2 is linear. For example
Bot has base 100 HP at level 1 -> 225 HP at level 12. Now with MK2, bot base HP gets increased to 120 HP (level 1 Mk2) and ends at 270 HP at level 12 Mk2.
Weapon has base 100 DMG at level 1 -> 314 DMG at level 12. Now with Mk2, weapon base DMG gets increased to 120 DMG (level 1 Mk2) and ends at 376 DMG at level 12 Mk2.
At level 12, the weapon does 40% more damage than the bot could compensate with HP. At level 12 Mk2, it's still 40% because only the base was changed but we still go through 12 levels.

In a custom game, my L12 plasma Griffin was able to break the shield and kill my L8 Galahad. In 1 salvo.
Dmg is king, so I put back 2 11/12 Plasma Griffins against MKII Taran Roachis. I seem to actually stand a chance now. I haven't done the math, but we seem evenly matched now, and don't see the imbalance of using other builds when countering. I don't like using brute force as it wastes my bot, but that's the easiest way to counter a Taran Roachi MKII having mostly a legacy hanger (just got a L1 Roachi myself).

I think its really smart what your doing and totally cool by me I just find it funny how before the league system, In the eyes of many if you didnt constantly try and level up you were accused of being a seal clubber. Funny how attitudes change about the game over time. That's cool. Back before the leagues hit I was slowly and steadily upgrading my gear to be able to enjoy playing at all levels. By Dec 2016 I had a 2/5 light hangar (no geps), a 3/7 medium hangar and a 6/8 heavy hangar. I had founded a clan (largely nephews and their friends but a few others), was able to squad with all of my pilots (most importantly with my autistic son, who found this game) with appropriate bots and weapons and help them understand the game. Eventually i would have had 12/12 high end gear as well as hangars for every level. Life was good. Then Pixo decided to upend everything with their new MM. I didn't stop upgrading right away mind you. My heavies were 7/8's. I have one L8 Griffin. And a single L9 thunder that was then on a Boa (now on a Ancile/Thunder Raijin). Soon however, about mid January, I saw where it was all going. All except for me, my son and one nephew had quit War Robots, the clan was dead. None of my lower leveled bots would be at all useful in this new MM. So I froze the heavies where they were and worked on getting my mediums and lights leveled up to where they would be approximately as strong as the heavies were. Currently, except for 22 bots leveled for 6 Pack play and a few others won from chests and whatnot, my lights are now 9/8's and my mediums a mix of 7/7 to 8/8's. My heavies remain where they are. I like variety. In order to bump up my active bots to take the next step up the leagues, I would need to upgrade nearly 40 bots and their equipped weapons. I haven't even finished getting the lights to 9 and the mediums to 8! Yeah. No. In my mind, I'm not stagnating. I'm enjoying variety. Others may label me as they see fit. Other aspects of my play existence in the Wonderful World of War Robots is that I still like to play with my son and his gear remains around L6-7. I move up and what fun is there for either of us? I also lead Aurora Nova iOS, Aurora Nova's entry level clan. I take in pilots from Bronze up to Gold 1. I try to help them as best I can to have fun, improve, and grow in the clan. When they hit D2, I graduate them up to another of our sister clans, wherever their timezones work best. And because of my decision back in Jan 2017, I can squad with them! Who would think in this day and age? There are many pilots both in and out of AN who are bound and determined to climb that ladder to the top! God bless them. I'm 52. I'm married with kids. I've been to the top levels in multiple games already in a couple genres over the last three decades. British Legends. Nexus War/Nexus Clash. Laser Squad Nemesis. I don't feel that need anymore, though as I said at the start I was heading to Top Tier here too, until Pix changed the game, moved the goal posts (and continue to move them) and massively monetized the system. It's a tribute to what an amazing game this is that I'm still enjoying it as much as I am, despite all that.

Someone posted this on one of the threads, so I'm going to quote him "life is far more enjoyable when youre not chasing the illusion"
Have enough Ag reserves to level my main hangar weapons to 10 and probably take it easy there on.
Reduced my gametime quite drastically so I'm content with being at my current level of E2 on Android.
Already facing alot of DIESS gears with MK2 only be made even worse when Specter gets released.

I thought I'd keep upping the ante so to speak and why not?But soon reality kicked me when i found that 51 million silver is but a mere drop in the bucket when leveling things over level 8.That 51 mil.soon shrunk away to nothing.Leveling times and costs are nuts.Also I don't believe these YouTubers with Mk 2 L 12 everything are legit. I think Pixonics hooks them up to make them say nice things.

I think Pixonics hooks them up to make them say nice things. A hard grind finish event like the Bulga shocktrain could net you 200m silver at least. I grinded 300m during the two events and probably enough to keep things going till next event. Youtubers Manni definitely got Pix's support to get to MkII to make videos, I think he mentioned in his video. Not sure about Adrian, he is around since game out, so he could grind everything out for real. Stew is out, he is all self grind, now too busy with life.

I suppose we could speculate about a cutoff point where your skill trumps weapon level but there is so much variations in power and so much manipulation of ranking that I really don’t think it is worth it. If you find a spot where the matches are fun and your level fits who cares? I don’t think staying at a specific level is comparable to ranking in the least.

But it becomes subjective to what you would consider "fun" and others consider "clubbing". I dont like sitting at 50% win rates personally and wanting to win more then that makes me a clubber in some peoples eyes.

I have faced him many times on test server ( unless it is someone else ? But when I check his video the names are same) and he isn’t skilled like Adrian etc. Most of his videos have mk2 max gears and it’s quite easy to deal damage and play like he does. Hoever idk about his past etc as mentioned above nor I am his hater but kinda suqs when a YouTuber himself says that XYZ weapon is overpowered but he still won’t complain about it to pix . A youtuber named Phoenix was also given some free stuff for uploading War Robots videos but he quit after introduction of shocktrains. He also showed a video where War Robots asked him if he would say bad stuff about them in future or not although didn’t show the whole fourm .He mostly does test server videos only now.

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. This! With my current hanger I upgrade to stay competitive. I don't play a bot or weapon I'm upgrading to MK2 until at least lvl 10.

Doing some quick HP vs DMG ratios in Excel the change is exponential. So if you are 3 level difference between the Red you're facing at for example level 4 vs lvl 7, is not as dramatic as for example lvl 9 vs lvl 12. This is the major underlying issue that I might start a new thread on. I need to crunch some numbers but preliminary data collaborates this. but what I see means that you should probably sit in lvl 6 gear and if you face guys that are lvl 8-9, skill has more impact against lvl 9 vs lvl 12 where skillfullness allows for you to get in the extra shots means little when you're pulverized in 3 hits. There is a huge wall i've hit.. It's Shocktrain/Ember where guys can easily get 1+mill dmg, while they aren't doing that dmg to me per say, they are to our team or against it, so while I might be the best player on the team, I will score in the middle of the pack because I just dont have the firepower to keep up with DIESS (nor is there enough time to make up for it). Start that thread. It would be interesting. I'll try. My spare time is limited these days

I have read that on here before: somehow it is your duty to climb so you don’t take advantage of others with your skill. I am not sure I agree. I suppose we could speculate about a cutoff point where your skill trumps weapon level but there is so much variations in power and so much manipulation of ranking that I really don’t think it is worth it. If you find a spot where the matches are fun and your level fits who cares? I don’t think staying at a specific level is comparable to ranking in the least. totally agreed. But it becomes subjective to what you would consider "fun" and others consider "clubbing". I dont like sitting at 50% win rates personally and wanting to win more then that makes me a clubber in some peoples eyes. My winrate after 13 months in Gold1 with brief forays up to D3 and down to G2 is a shade over 51% according to my google sheet with the data on my last 2300+ matches. Occasionally it climbed to close to 70% and as often drifts down into the 35% range, all depending on what the MM throws at me. The data also shows that a bit more than 39% of my matches resulted in dirty wins or losses due to tankers. I got tired of the data entry and stopped tracking it recently. It told me what it needed to.
