I’d like to get an idea from you guys about upgrading Titans.
Since it seems they are a thing, I’m wondering how you guys are going about it...assume F2P, and not waiting month(s) to save Pt for “better” Titan.....
Weapons first? Kid speed first? My Kid is L8 with L2 weapons, and 140 Pt available now......
Please, I know many don’t like/want Titans, but I’m rolling with it. Haters please hate elsewhere, TIA!

@greenbanana I am taking it one step at a time.
I get enough for one round of upgrades for the bot and weapons, then I pull the trigger.
Kid at 9, weapons at 3.
90 away from next round.
Yeah, it's gonna take forever

I'm upgrading Kid's speed and toughness plus the Retaliators as priority.

I'm leaving Kid as is but putting my Platinum into getting Rocket weapons. I can upgrade them and move them onto any future Titans that are released.
Somebody on this forum said Kid is going to be the Destrier of Titans.

Somebody on this forum said Kid is going to be the Destrier of Titans. More like Fenrir.....main weapon usable only when ability active....but on a timer... I thought about rockets, too.....30 sec CD is slow as heck! Need others to use them, see if they are worth it. I have noticed in game some rockets seem good for awhile, then disappear.....now, those Goon Titan thingies....what up wit dat?

I'm upgrading the speed and stove part.
I'm loving the stove. It's quite powerful as it goes through walls, all shields and can capture multiple bots at once.
Nothing stops the burn.
I have a 15 year old Kid.

I’m sitting at 390 pt, have not spent any except for the 2 free upgrades. Gonna get an Arthur, I want my 3 weapons on all the time. Not a big fan of kids 2 lower arm mounts, I feel like the Arthur will be able to better make use of cover with his 3 extra high mounts. Yeah he’s slow as dirt but once I get into place behind a good piece of cover I ain’t moving.

Hence my Destrier is 12mk2 and my Titan Destrier will get the same love.

I'm in two minds. Those lower gun mounts are annoying. I'm going to hang on to the Pt for the Arthur. Maybe.....I like that Stove though. Burn baby burn. But that Arthur shield is going to take some breaking. My Titan isn't a huge priority at the moment due to the Champions League Leeches, leeching lots.

Thanks all for replies...I am upgrading Kid, as other Kids are getting strong, and I don’t want to save up Pt for the next 4 months......
I took all weapons to 3, and Kid is now L10. Coming along!

I'd have suggested waiting as they have been drastically changing Titan stats and gameplay lately.
e.g. Both Alpha and Beta weapons get anti damage reduction now too - a huge difference.
That said, upgraded weapons can be used on a new Titan.
And all talk aside, FUN and enjoying your game IS important, and I can't be bothered waiting either.
( But I'm currently saving for an Ao Ming due to a) infinite flight - especially useful in testing, b) flying to avoid obstacles/reach teammates, and c) I rather like the visual appearance of enemy Ao Mings in the air. )

I'm not upgrading. I'm saving for Ao Ming. Once I have 700 Pt, then I'll see if I actually buy it or do something else, that remains to be seen.

Its so funny when I push away phantom ( he is flying) in carrier, nearly drowning them. I did 3 times in one match. Same player keep trying to humping my leg. Lol. With recent buff to titans, Arthur has nearly 1mil shield durability at level 1. And its a tough tank. Useful in defending beacons in BR. Yes its the slowest titans but its bang of a buck for entry level titans.

An Arthur blew my Ao Jun backwards while I was flying towards it today. I rather like it's 934,000 base shield hp.

I started upgrading the Kid lvl 8 and weapons all lvl 3 then I stopped. I'm at a lose atm because it appears the kid has the built in mitigation which seems to help with tanky bots like the T-Falcon, at the same time the arthur has over 900k shield health and I believe thats per shield so I may go the route. No desire to get the Ming at all. So I'm curious to see what everyone else is doing as well

I am one of the dudes that is just sitting here saving. Almost 500 Pt right now. I do not hate the Titans, but I haven't seen one make a difference yet and have only deployed mine a couple times. Before I spend my Pt in any way, I want as much info as I can get. Even on my clan discord, where there are a handful of whales, there is not much solid advice about which Titan would suit me best.
If anyone has bought the missile launcher weapons, I would love to hear about them.

I would base on your usage.
If ya a beast, then focus on weps.
If ya use the stove can catch 3 reds, then burn it up.
DR is always good.
I mainly upgrade evenly. My vengeance gets to be the first one to level up. It gets the dmg mitigatation.
Also, when you upgrade one part of the Titan, you need to upgrade 2 subsystems. No way around that. Otherwise I would pick and choose. This sucks honestly, and goes against the ethos of play your way.

But FTP users need every bit of juice we can squeeze out. Itâs like a 「fluffernutter」in dried up used orange, but ya keep squeezing it anyway cause youâll die and get skirvey. I like to put my hands on those big TITans and squeeze firmly.

I like to put my hands on those big TITans and squeeze firmly. I have a handful of weapons maxed out. I have no maxed bots. Will still wait and save Pt. I almost have enough to buy 1 missile launcher. Just would like to know how good it really is before I lay down my Pt for it. Please keep your juice off of me. It sounds gross and messy.

Kid isn't bad for a starter Titan but I would rather invest more PT into weapons which can be transfered when something new shows up (new weapons are also a given tho). Maybe like lvl 15 Kid and stop there.
We made a custom game today in our clan and Arthur on pretty much the same level's eats Kid alive (Stove and whatever the Arthur fart is called werent used).
Personally Im saving for Ao Ming then I'll decide to buy him or waith for the next gen Titans. Ao Ming is "just" 28 days of doing the daily PT tasks. Im a low spender so after 3 years of playing War Robots Im a 「fluffernutter」ing zen master and saving PT for a month isnt a problem. Just unsure if I want to go with the default weapons or save up for 2 Tsar and run beta machine gun weapons + 2 Tsar.
Saving for the Titan itself is easy, problem arises if you want to change weapons.

Is having an Arthur instead of a Kid worth 450 Pt to you? Is having an Ao Ming instead of a Kid worth 700 Pt?
You'll have a new Titan but no more Kid, which I find are a very good and solid addition to my squad regardless, and at least useful for throwing a solid block of steel at the reds, and gaining me an extra few seconds on the clock against a top tier Lv12Mk Leech death clan who've surrounded my spawn point and have all their shotguns ready.
I personally find only the 500m Titan machine guns ( Vengeance / Retaliator ) to be of any use to me, having FAR higher sustained DPS than 500m rockets (which currently have both less range AND damage than the plasma) and 600m plasma.
The best thing a Plasma Ao Ming could do against my Fenrir was keep trying to run/fly away. I was hardly taking damage anymore, but he had heaps of health (guessing it was very high level). Thankfully I had no other notable bots focusing me.
But, Titans are new and things can change at any time. I don't want to advise bots/upgrades that might be severely changed/useless next update.
Personally, I'm going for an Ao Ming first, and I'm still 100 Platinum away from 700 Platinum.

Absolutely nothing. Not even running my Titan right now.
Hoarding plt until we have some idea what to use it for. It’s too hard to come by to just throw it away on upgrade 1 of 150 that I will end up not playing because it turns out to be the heap of the bunch

Just finished a game on Carrier, had two of the flying Ming Titans early on in the match. They vapourised the 「dookie」 out of us, the remaining 4 reds went low and Leeched and Jun'd us.

The future of gaming #WhaleLove I've seen similar. Max'ed Mings dropped early and kiting around wrecking damage. They are hard to hit-especially when hovering above their teammates.

I suppose I now have a good reason for having a second hangar.....if I wanted a different Titan, I can run one in each hangar.
With Christmas at hand, my family usually gives me iTunes bucks.....

I've earned 500 'free' Platinum in-game so far.
At this rate I can afford to upgrade things, but it looks like I'll be getting an Ao Ming first.
Hope this keeps up.

Don't upgrade anything. If you can't get to level 50+ today don't even start
There will be better weapons and bots. Wait and stockpile while you still can.
With 5 hangars I want 5 Titans. No duplicates. So after I get these 3 I'm saving it all. Neither of the premium weapons are worth a damn.
I repeat, do not upgrade anything. Do not buy those weapons.

You may be correct, however even Pix needs to come up for air every now and then. The in game fact is Titans are a factor now, and getting stronger.......save up if you wish, but we all know when new content comes along, the sticker price goes up....up...and away Im taking my Kid for walks now, and he is 11.....I’m killing other Titans and smaller bots these days. When Titan Leech-Tornado-comes along, only Whales will be able to afford it!
