Thanks for each one of you who shared the Screenshot from Pilot shop, as promised I'll crack the math for ya. I thought it's gonna be complicated to the level of Ag cost that happyfunball did, but turned out middle school math is good enough in this case...  All we need to look at is the first Private gold cost from lvl 1 -10  Pix just adds some random extra 20, 30s for each level and trying to scam us to pay more gold for the levels. No, thanks. I'll get every single pilot at level 1 and slowly level him/her up. At the end of the day, it's the promotion gold that eat us alive, so you better preserve every bit of level up gold and level it free through battles. Here is all the information I have  Very simple pattern here, Same level pilot Promote Priv --> Corp, cost 500 gold, but if you get Corp from shop directly, you only paid 400 gold for the promotion. That's 20% discount Promote Corp --> Serg, cost 1000 gold, but if you get Serg from shop directly, you only paid 800 gold for the promotion. That's 20% discount, again. Promote Serg --> Lieu, cost 1500 gold, but if you get Lieu from shop directly, you only paid 1200 gold for the promotion. That's 20% discount, again! So the deal is, whatever rank you get from shop, that pilot's entire rank promotion is 20% cheaper. My suggestion to minimize total gold cost for 5 pilots is Get 2 pilots first only to lvl 21 Then buy a low level Serg from shop which saves you 300 gold. Get those 3 pilots to lvl31 Then buy a low level Lieu from shop which saves you 600 gold. Get those 4 pilots to lvl41 Then your final pilot will be a low level Captain from shop which saves you 1100 gold. This way, it will save you 2000 gold total than buying 5 pilots on the first day you update the game. But the bad side is that you have to level pilots up 1 after 1 and wait to get lucky in the shop to buy a low level high rank pilot. Whales:"I get five lvl 70 pilots and pick all their skills on first day, 2000 gold my azz" |

What would you suggest for 10 bots? I’m sorry I don’t know what you mean. You only need 5 bots, refresh skills when switch to new bots. |

Sometimes it takes awhile for these things to sink in with me. ? I was wondering if there’s a different route for bigger savings with 2 hangars. It’s basically the same route you proposed. Just get pilots 6 thru 10 with 1100 savings. Brilliant post. I have another question though. How long does it take to get to level 41? |

I have another question though. How long does it take to get to level 41? For whales, about 20s, for the rest of us, I est a few weeks or more of game play. My play time is down a bit and my highest is lvl 27. Will probably hit 31 today. |

So the most economical deal you can possibly get is a lvl 1 pilot, ranked the same as your highest 3. Good to know and probably more rare than the legendary pilots, lol.

So...there’s more to this process than just the gold savings side of it. You need to consider the time aspect as well. The higher the rank, the longer it will take you to grind out the next set of levels. This is why buying a pilot with rank AND level is often an even better deal. Of course, the issue is whether or not you have the gold to do that. Players who are buying more than the basic 5 would get ahead by getting their first few upgraded then going all in at whatever rate you can afford using the above. There have been some deals where you can get a higher ranking Pilot with levels for roughly the same cost as just a L1/Private after discounting the promotion costs. I’ve seen Lieutenants (500/1000/1500) with ranks around 25 to for as little as 3300ish. I think THAT is where you get the best bang for the buck they come with probably a couple three weeks worth of leveling already done and 3 skills to boot.
Having the gold though...that’s the issue....

Ok, I’m still getting the hang of this. I’ve got two pilot from today’s deal as an example:
both are corporals but one is a strait 500 gold and at lvl 1 while the other is 750 gold and at lvl 11 while having two skills. If I‘m following this right the second pilot is the better deal?
Ona side note, three of my pilots come with the same graphic. Evidently cloning is real big in the War Robots universe.

Having the gold though...that’s the issue.... Hence why I'm getting the cheapest L1 Private and then going for a decent skill for each of my bots and not bothering promoting them until I have more gold. Jagging a 10% armour boost for 100 gold is a darn sight cheaper than 5000 gold and 120million silver. |

Its getting the decent skill thats killing me. Just got a yet another Adamant mechanic. That is three now to go along with Adamant Roadhog. My pilots arent racing up ranks so I only have 7 skills available. I think the game is trying to tell me that it wants me loosing!

Clearly a level 1 with three skills won't ever happen, but most of my hangar now is level 1 100 gold pilots so I guess I did ok. |

Jeez... I wish I had seen this before promoting my pilot to sergeant. At least this was my first pilot...
