I am back!! Need help.

Hey thanks bro, but I don’t see any War Robots icons on the home screen. Where exactly ? And what will that do?

If you hated dash bots enough to pack the game in, you might just be better off saving time and swerving War Robots entirely.

You want to know what is meta now? Easy, it's what Pixo are releasing next week!

Just look at Legends League to see what are the meta bots. If you are willing to pay a bit then you can acquire quite a bit of resources/ weapons/ bot by purchasing the Operation Pass. I do agree that if it was the into of dash bots that made you quit the game then you better hang it up now. Sooooooooo many abilities now! I have been playing 6 years now and have learned to just go with the flow. Good luck!

I just saw this... 


kinetic is just trying to get back into War Robots. Telling him to delete the app would be disheartening to anybody, right? I think a warmer welcome is in order, yes?

Sounds Ike you quit the game around the same time I did the first time. I only lasted about 9 months though before I lost all sense of logic and reason and installed it again. Then quit and reinstalled from scratch again. And again. And maybe again. 

This last smurf account, which I’ve been running for about a year (I think, I can’t remember for sure), I decided to stick with 2 hangar slots as long as I possibly could. And just to be silly, I Mk2’d a Cossack with a freedom igniter I won in some event. Since you last played, among their many other foibles, Pix has made it nearly impossible to ‘manage’ your league progression, now forcing you up the leagues much faster and incrementally reducing the penalty for losing/playing like a leper, making it way too easy to move up and become cannon fodder for Champion leaguers and way too hard to drop down.

But the 2-slot hangar had many benefits. First, it taught me to get the most out of the bots I had. Kamikaze runs were reserved for the obviously hopeless matches. Which brings me to the second benefit: the really crappy games were over very quickly. And third, having just a few bots to worry about, I was able to bring them up to playable level pretty quickly. But, I also threw new bots into action at pretty low levels, too, so I could tell early if I liked the bots mechanics or not before dumping resources into it.

So ... my way of ‘managing’ my progression was to keep my hangar as small as possible. Two bots, until it became ridiculously impossible to play the game, then three slots took my into Master 3, where again the time just felt right to give myself the benefit of a 4th slot. Along the way I managed to acquire a fair collection of newer bots (Fenrir, Loki, Rayker, Leech, Ravana, Ao Jun, Nightingale, and my favorite Tyr, along with the usual assortment of legacy bots. Other than the Cossie, only the Tyr is lvl 9, snd everything else is lvl 8. Somehow, however, I became desperately light on weapons - I barely have enough to outfit the 4 bots I run regularly, so if/when I obtain a new bot, it’s a major shuffling exercise outfitting it with reasonably matching weapons. 

I’m still sitting squarely in the middle of arguably the worst league in the game - Master 3 - for about 6 weeks now. Most games are horrible, as the MM is worse now than ever, but a few are still fun. And I have enough of an assortment of bots to swap them out occasionally to keep things fresh. 

Other than that, I’d strongly recommend playing Skirmish games when they come up. There’s usually one or more newer bot/weapon combos in the hangar, and it gives you a good real-world scenario to test drive them. I would rely on that more than the opinions of other players on what loadouts you should invest in, because you get to play them and see for yourself what works best for you. But stay the hell away from Arena - it’s the crappy free-for-all mode, and it costs 100 Au a pop to play. If there were a way to permanently remove it from my game modes, I would. 

Oh, and welcome back. 

Oh yeah, fenrir is a great point! Works with whatever materials you have on hand and the more you feed it the stronger it gets.

Also would put strider in that list of bacon cappers, works with whatever weapons you put on it (great for starters due to them not having workshop yet and not always wanting to build an entire set of weapons right away). 

Welll just to clarify, I left around the time the dash bits were introduced, even though they made every bot everyone has obsolete that was not the main reason.
There was the Mark II thing introduced, then the game became a pay to win no doubt, whole bunch if crap hit yhe fan back then, this was the Boycott Pixonic era,?remember?

Back to topic, from what you all said it sounds like a dump truck of crap has hit the fan after I left and it does not sound encouraging. At the low lvl I am at it feels like the good old days, but as you say it wil become a nightmare eventually. I managed to recover my old IOS account last night, and even the hangar is dificult to understand now, it appears that my good old Rhino and wild west bots and the British knight bots are no longer viable. So I may continue from scratch on Android just to see what hapoy, but chances are if it has gotten worst I wont be around for long. Thank you all for the information.

Pilots. Get Virginia Walker. She completes me.

Yeah you hardly see a Wild West bot but they are fun.  Spiral Jesse and Molot-Tee-Doc are good fun effective builds in Masters when MM works properly.
