If anyone was in that last match with me, and wondered why I was fielding 5 medium bots, Pix made me do it!
I had the task, "do 225,000 damage in a match with medium bots". (40 gold)
Doh!
I went back to my rusty old Pattons (2), a Golem and a Boa along with my Carnage.
It took 20 minutes just to set them up with weapons!
Anyway, I got 400k damage in the first match, but we lost, so apologies if you were in it.
... now it's time to switch all those weapons back. Joy!

Do you prioritise tasks over winning, or just let the tasks run in the background and focus entirely on winning?
I usually focus on winning, but for this task I had to change almost my entire hangar...

Just depends on the task.
Change if light bots, not wasting my time with that one, especially since I don't have them leveled as high as I need. I change my hangar for medium tasks. Use one medium anyway, and my Boa's are 11 and 10, with level 12 weapons, lose a little bit of punch, but not much.
Sometimes my tasks carry over till next day. Like liberate 13 beacons, sometimes don't get it done. Sucks.
Overall I don't worry to much about the rest, the little red dot will show up, sooner or later on the task icon.
Always going for the win.

Always going for the win. i usually clear beacon tasks by the 2nd day. the worst is when i cant get to the game and leave 4 tasks on my board and end up getting only 1 new task |

I usually focus on winning, but for this task I had to change almost my entire hangar... Depends on task. If it is cumulative wins, beacons, damage, kills, I just play as normal. I run a carnage and galahad so even get damage with medium bots will happen on its own. Got stuck recently with flip 2 beacons with light bot in one game after rejecting two WSP tasks (aside: why are they so much harder than gold tasks yet pay less?). I don't run lights. Easy task with stalker but I don't have one. Went to my original cossack which was lv4. Put lv7 tulumbas on it. Tried to bring it out late when enemy field was low but I'd either get killed or game would end after I got first beacon. Finally managed to pull it off by jumping in while reds were distracted. That added a fun dimension to my game, but it essentially made my hangar 4 slots. Didn't help my teammates. But then many of them are 4 slots themselves so too bad! -Amid |

A bunch of posts while I was typing mine....
Hardest common task for me is win 8 battles. Means playing 16 on average but some days it is 20.
Beacon tasks I like because you can still get them while on losing streak.

The only ones I change for is the light bot challenges, knock it out in two games then put my mediums and heavies back in.

The only task I turn down these days is 'win 8 battles'. Though honestly now it should be ok again as I seem to have settled in low iOS Gold I. Light tasks are fine as I run a full light lineup, heavies are fine, it's my mediums that are lacking. They were 3/7s when the MM change hit, I'm upgrading them now to probably 5/7 but we'll see. They're still good enough to get the tasks done even now.
I see the dailies as secret orders from High Command. They supercede general orders to win the battle (like Black Widow on the ship raid in Winter Soldier, to go all Marvel movie on you all).
As for weapons, all my bots are armed in the garage except for the level 1's I won during contests. So switching out is a snap.

I don't change that particular task as I have galahads, but if it were the light bot task I would, because the light bots are all trash in general, but especially where I'm at so I don't have any to swap out.

I use the two daily points to switch the task instead of going through the equipment changeovers. Saves the other players in the game too.

Depends on the task you wind up with really. If it's based solely on damage and kills, then I ignore and play as usual. If it's capping or retaking beacons then changes to the hangar is usually necessary.

I routinely change the 30 gold tasks that require me doing something that I can't do with my current hangar, as it's easy to get another 30 gold task in its place. For 40 gold I will go to the trouble and reconfigure In fact, if I have 2 30 gold tasks I often change the less desirable at random in the hope to get a 40 gold task in its place. If I get a WSP task I still have a free change left. |

I'm a little bit backwards than some of y'all... My normal hangar consists of 1 Gary, and at least 3 Mediums, so I usually don't change out for a task. I can almost guarantee to get the light bot challenges with 1 game. Gary is the man! And the mediums are Galahads and Carnages usually, with the occasional rotation of a Boa or a Rog because I like them. Screw the damage meta. I still end up placed well if my matches are pretty even, so I don't feel I am hurting the team. The only time I change my hanger is if I don't have the bot type listed, which is usually a Heavy for the Heavy bot task, and just adding one of that class in there is enough, especially if it is a bot that has Zeuses. The only ones I skip are the WSP tasks.
YMMV.
