While I have purchased some things like Au in game, I have not purchased Ag. Having a couple of maxed bots and weapon loadouts along with pilots and modules then allows much better Ag return rates from battles. However, it would take significantly more time if I was not running VIP and using booster sets when I can really play. shortened for post length... hmm, guess I should try and rack up a lot more Ag boosters. I never get more than 1-2 every few weeks. Rarely if ever do they get offered via the F2P route. |

Well, not MkIIL12, but it was my Vityaz, followed by Vityaz, Vityaz, Vityaz and... Vityaz. All MkIIL10.  Lord all mighty, I feel my temperature rising!! Best 240 million Ag I ever spent! XD |

It takes 650,000 honor points to reset the chests, but if you were in say Expert League, you would reset the chests at 150,000 HP. Being in Expert results in over 4x the number of chests from private to expert which includes Ag boosters and 1 hour 200% keys boosters. This is why I am upset Pix has made the game now to push a greater portion of the player base into Champions League. Many just would not have been there with their hangers in the first couple of years this game existed. To only have a bunch of bots that are only level 9 or less but be in Champions League, how are these players ever going to get a good Ag return? My main account I played for at least a couple of years I just abandoned because I never felt I could make an impact on the outcome with my hanger strength. Started this new account on May 23rd this year concentrating on building max level bots before adding additional hanger slots and the Ag return has been much better. The TL;DR is Championship Chest honor point level is too D A M N high! |

Kumiho, Haechi, Haechi, Haechi, Bulgasari That Haechi and Bulgasari nerf back in the day must have been horrible for your hanger. Wish they would just return these bots back to the abilities they had when first released. |

Better question would be weapons, bcuz non of my bots will be lvl 12 mk2 until all weapons are done first.

BUT...
I gotta say that the fact that the abilities are based on Bot level has made me rethink that time honored thought. My Rayker may become the first new-ish bot to see max... ahead of the three Mk2 level 1-2 weapons I have... the Glance ability is great and already does decent damage with the Pilot Skill, Destroyer at bot level 9. Being Maxed... well... since I play that bot no matter which hangar I run... it may be worth it for me. All the DR bots get a good benefit from being maxed... too.
Just a thought.... don't mind me.
IMO, YMMV

Mk2ing bots is effective, there's a reason people do it, however even with bots that benefit from leveling up in terms of ability damage, you still get more from the multiple weapons being leveled, I will max my bots but it's not a pressing issue currently. |

No doubt... I guess since I tend to change up my hangar so much, maxing weapons that may or may not be in play tends to make less sense than a bot that I don't take out of my hangar regardless of what weapons are on it... so yeah, I am biased in that regard. |

Wish they would just return these bots back to the abilities they had when first released. I had already moved on from those bots by the time they were nerfed. Keep in mind those were old economy upgrades that I did when MK2 first came out in the Fall of 2017. It was easier to save back then as silver payouts were higher and upgrade costs much cheaper. |

Ok a while back in my forum lurking days I read from some wise soul about league manipulation in order to find their "happy place". The place where you find the most fun playing. They spoke about setting rules and restrictions around bot and weapon levels in order to level off into that league position. So I started a rule of L10 weapons and at that stage L12 bots. I wanted to make my bots the most defensive as possible. Then 12mk2 came along and upped the anti. So I think my first bot was a Lance, then Hover and Strider. Now hold my beer. Upgraded in no particular order. Destrier. Cossack Schutze. GI Patton. Stalker. Boa. Golem. Gary. G-Had. Rog. Vityaz. Natty. Leo. Gepard. Ao Qin. Bolt. Jesse. Carnage. On TheDecepticonIdeal 's insistence. ? Raijin is 4mk12 Falcon, Fury, Mender are all 1mk12 because well 1 gold coin. And Doc is currently 4mk12 but it's in this month's hangar and by the end will be 12mk2ed. I'm on a mission to 12mk2 all the bots in order of the bot store in case you didn't work that out. Yeah I'm a bit weird and see things differently but this is how I find my fun. And it's working. |

Gambled $20 and got lucky with a Haechi back in the day, early in the dash era. It was the first bot I rushed upgrade to level 12. Shortly after that, MK2 was released and I went ahead and did that. For awhile it was the only MK2 bot I had.

I don't have any. Maybe my Natasha someday. "Buck up little camper" (not the camper in War Robots sense) Natasha is pretty cheap to upgrade. I just took my lvl 10 OE Natasha to lvl 12 Mk1. NE Thunders are dirt cheap too. Sold off the two OE Thunders I had on it to fund NE Thunders. 2017 everybody : "Thunder Natasha is not viable above diamond league" "Carnage is better" 2019 everybody: " Thunder Natahsa is really good and cheap to upgrade for low Champions League play" "What is a 'Carnage'?" |

Hmm...I'm debating between a Vityaz and a Carnage for the second slot in my smurf hangar, with the idea being to run a leadhose setup. Which one should I go for?

I RARELY take a bot over lvl 8.. Its the weapons I work on, not the BOT's.. PIX changes the bots and the META so much I don't bother max'ing bots.. UNLESS it is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE -- GOLEM -- I have TWO of those sweet little things at MK2-lvl12..
Otherwise.. I only worry about weapons..
To prove my point.. TULU's, ORK's TARAN's .. ect.. All still see a lot of play at Masters League and Champions League .. It is the Bots that change.. So why max them... unless you are a big spender and have the dough to do that, to max everything... then more power to you.. I don't, so I concentrate on weapons..
Cheers..

Vityaz is tier 1, meaning cheap to level. Punishers with Thunder Vityaz is a cheap, effective build. |

Leadhose Vityaz is a fun build. 12mk2 and double up the armour skills with roadhog and mechanic and you would have a respectable build. I prefer my Vityaz to be a Tesla build. Calamity Spark. |

Same. My one Tier 4 is a Pursuer and it's still at 9 even though everything else I have is Mk2L4 or higher. And TBH, in combat effectiveness terms, it's fine where it is. |

my first was a Lancelot.. That was back when MKII just came out. I have several bots (all old economy) that are inventory that I never use. I have no new economy MKII stuff.
