Despite pumping in millions in silver and gold, and having the best forum teachers, canât pilot a Seraph to save the pilotâs life.
Despite wrecking my credit to get the coins to get a Lynx, itâs gone lame.
Got a Revenant sitting in cold storage because every time I bring it out, it lasts about 5 seconds (granted, itâs 2.4). Gave up my Jun when they were the King of the battlefield.
Yes, I am being a whining, petulant, self pitying, little 「female dog」.

Rant away! My suggestion is for a while, to practice sticking close to at least one ally for support and focus fire, and to maybe spend more time waiting and watching and then striking from a distance (hunt carefully, avoid getting to close to enemies). This way you have the power of broader battle awareness, and being able to apply the gradual degradation principle on your enemies without yourself taking excessive enemy fire. Im not saying Im very good, but I can say of all the tactics I have ever learnt in this game, and I have to give credit to the sole person that taught it to me ( GuitarGuy thank you brother), is to spend more time watching enemies and assessing the situation instead of rushing forward. I know, lmao, that might sound like odd advice coming from GG considering he is always blathering on about brawling, but you know why he is so good at brawling? He has learned to wait and watch the battlefield and to then strike where it really hurts without meching out in the first couple minutes. Wait & Watch, then hunt with precision, distance, and broader awareness. |

another good thing for a new seraph pilot, work on some custom games by yourself. Learn the terrain, as well as take off and landing to get an idea how to pilot it effectively.

You must remember that all the bots youve mentioned have been nerfed
Plus every bot requires practice

there's a ton of methods of counter battling but primarily pick a set lineup of bots and learn them ...i don't mean play a few games change them out i mean spend time to learn how they play how they fair against all bot types then figure out how to counter ALSO timing is everything absolutely everything.
when i started playing my gauss spider it was weak and died very quickly but now i've played it for a while i can kill pretty much every bot including the latest and titans with this bot alone learn to outthink and outplay , be smart and don't expect to rush in and win like most do.
quite often i'll be on a beacon and a skyros will com rolling up ....sometimes they'll just stay in ball form so i'll tempt him out by going mobile firing a single shot then activate it's ability they'll come out of ball form with their shield up thinking easy win but nope - shield break boom he dies --- wondering 「whiskey tango foxtrot」 jsut happened lol
take note of ability bots have (over time you'll learn them off by heart) you can also learn to time them and time the right moment to strike such as weapons with stacking explosions such as scald / scorcher , the explosion stacks bypass much of the defence of bots AND reflectors and the only bit reflected is the inital impact which is minor - good for killing all flying bots

I agree with shadethefluffmech, Seraph has been nerfed drastically. It's very weak now since it has less protection during its ability, and because they adjusted It's hitbox Another thing that Gman pointed out to me, is that now titan pilots exist, it is pretty much impossible for titan slayer bots to slay a titan. A Seraph would have to have like 20 attacks to partly damage a Rook, which would take ages, and during that time the Rook can go after the Seraph or it could get killed by another bot. |

If that is true, and I’m not doubting this, why do my bots, 9/10 times, wind up melted slag when fighting a Seraph but when I fly mine, a Cossack could kill it? I’ve changed pilot skills, put on high leveled weapons, kept in motion during combat, high levels modules… |

What weapons and pilot are you running? Have run bendies, K-lasers, Redeemers. I know some would disagree with me, but I would say Victoria isn't the strongest pilot for the Seraph. I always used Trixie Hope and never had a problem. As for weapons, Puncher is still a widely used build. Hammers are good too, but I would stay away from bendies as they just aren't as good after the nerf. Redeemer is also good. |

And I only run Seraph in defense mode on Carrier. It's kind of a specialty bot for me now. ReclusiveCthulhou812Also, since I'm NOT the world's best tactician I go with survivable beacon runners. It's fun for me but not for everybody. |

Ogre is still spot on. You really gotta watch the reds, See what there abilities are and wait till they use them. working in pairs is huge if you can find a random who thinks the same. Patience in battle is the key to not meching out. If winning is what you want squads on coms communicating is really the ticket. Back when Kaos was super active we would have 2 and 3 rooms filled on Discord of players learning tactics and just having a blast win or lose. I really miss those days. |

First of all, take a deep breath and relax. It's okay to be frustrated, but beating yourself up isn't going to help you improve. Here are some tips on how to improve your piloting skills in War Robots: Watch videos of experienced pilots. This is a great way to learn new strategies and techniques. There are many YouTubers who post videos of their War Robots gameplay, so you're sure to find someone who plays in a style that you can relate to. Practice in the training mode. This is a great way to get used to the controls and mechanics of the game without having to worry about dying. You can also practice different strategies and tactics in the training mode. Ask for help from other players. There are many helpful players in the War Robots community who are willing to offer advice and tips. You can find these players on forums, Discord servers, and even in-game. Don't be afraid to fail. Everyone fails at some point. The important thing is to learn from your mistakes and keep practicing. It sounds like you've invested a lot of time and coins into War Robots, so I'm sure you're capable of becoming a good pilot. Just keep practicing and don't give up. Here are some additional tips that might be helpful: Choose the right robots and weapons for your playstyle. Not all robots and weapons are created equal. Some are better suited for close-range combat, while others are better for long-range. Experiment with different combinations until you find something that works for you. Use cover to your advantage. Don't just charge into battle head-on. Use cover to protect yourself from enemy fire. This will give you more time to line up your shots and take down your opponents. Be patient. It takes time and practice to become a good pilot. Don't expect to be a master overnight. Just keep practicing and you'll eventually see improvement. I hope these tips help you improve your piloting skills in War Robots. Good luck! |

Finally figured it out, me thinks.
For me, Seraph is best flown as a one on one bot, where you can fight and live to fight another day. Find a safe landing zone, and pump up the NA to get the stacks going.
Played three matches and actuallyâ¦(catching my bated breath) got kills. Pissed off a player so much that they spawned in their Luchador, and jumped around Powerplant just to smite my 「bum-bum」.
The wisdom of the forum helped. Been playing more attention, like was suggested, not just jumping into battle. Nether is playing MUCH better (loving the Magnetars, but K-Lasers are a challenge).
