Hello all, new player here. Started 3 days ago, current lvl 10. I have destrier (3), golem (4) and cossac (1). I upgraded some starter weapons. Private league iii. I wonder, what you recommend to do now, save gold and ag for next big purchase (which one) or to upgrade current bots while leveling? What should be my next bot? I dont want to waste my gold/ag on some gear not suited for early leveles. Thanks for any guidelines on.. what to do now Also if someone wants to add me as friend, let me know .. thanks in advance

New Mecha will be available soon and we don't have pricing, yet. I'd save for awhile until we know more. Maybe buy weapons or a paint scheme but keep a good stock of Gold for the next Event.

New Mecha will be available soon and we don't have pricing, yet. I'd save for awhile until we know more. Maybe buy weapons or a paint scheme but keep a good stock of Gold for the next Event. My advice. Griffins. You can get them at l16 and they can be used all the way up to top tier play. Aim to get three. A molot griff. Punisher grifd and a RDB (griff with pins and tulimbas). That RDB will serve you very, very well for a long time and should be your main priority for upgrading. Focus on getting the RDB to l8 or 9 and level up the other griffs as well but leave the molots and punishers at l6. Once you get l20 save your workshop points for a set of Tarans and Mags to convert your Molot Griff to a PDB (plasma death button). Then get a carnage to put thunders on. Save all your gold. It's precious, NEVER speed up upgrades! Buy fourth slot. Thrn a set of Orkans to convert your punisher Griff to a DB. Then fifth slot. By then you'll have an awesome hangar and a good idea what you want to do next.

Thank you for all replies, nice community here I'll have to read your posts couple of times, as I am not sure what some phrases or abreviations stands for, but I think I'll manage to sort it out.. thanks once again, game seems lots of fun. Sorry - I shouldn't use abbreviations when you stated you are new three main types of Griff: DB: "Death Button". Orkans and Pinatas. So called because you push the button and stuff dies. Can take out anything without an energy shield is seconds. It's close range firepower is only matched by a thunder carnage but the griff has much better survivability. Can still take down energy shields but single firing your weapons from around a corner, just don't try it on high level Ancilots (Lancelot bot with an Ancile energy shield). monster firepower that comes in one big burst. PDB: "Plasma Death Button" Tarans and Magnums. this is a beast. Awesome firepower and cuts through energy shields. Vulnerable to any shield bot, Gary, Galahad, Lance, although you will still kill and Gary and either kill or seriously hurt Galahads. Awesome fun Lots of firepower that is sustained. RDB : "Russian Death Button" Tulumbas and Pins. Missiles that have a 500m range. Seriously deadly as knifefighters (Bots with weapons of 300 or 350m range) struggle to get into range without taking serious damage. Vulnerable to longer range weapons like tridents, zeus and trebuchets.

I dont want to waste my gold/ag on some gear not suited for early leveles. Thanks for any guidelines on.. what to do now Also if someone wants to add me as friend, let me know .. thanks in advance I'm going to try to go from closer to the level that you are at. In my opinion! Gold = 3rd, 4th and 5th slot. Don't spend gold on anything else. Kill off the destrier. Buy a patton (I think you can now) and 4 pinatas - they will already be at level 5 when bought. This is an ambush bot and a glass cannon (very fragile). The pinatas will also be useful later on. Upgrade only one pair. Buy a Griffin with tullumbas and pins. This bot will go with you all the way to the top. You will not have the workshop yet. When it does open your first concern is buying a Taran. Put this on a Boa with a Thunder. 4 slot potential hanger Bronze - Silver. pinata paton - mini db ranged griffin - RDB Thunder taran boa Cossack - put your second taran on this. All weapons which will be usable up higher. Don't upgrade the bots too much (except for the griffin).

You may want to spend gold on hangar slot.

Good advice That fourth slot equates to more damage... more damage is more silver... more silver is a must upgrade to premium Get a griffin...

Thanks guys!
As per your advices, I'll buy forth slot.
I also got Boa, and equiped it with 500m weapons. My idea is to stick with it, along with 3 bots i I already have (noted in first post), until I can buy Grif.
Patton looks nice, but I think I'll save money for Griff upgrades.
Maybe upgrade boa to 5 while waiting for Griffit?

Maybe upgrade boa to 5 while waiting for Griffit? Boa shines as a brawler/tank. 500m weapons is a waste. Also only good midrange heavys costs wsp or gold. Thunder is NOT a 500 m weapon regardless of what the stats say. It is a shotgun with an increasing cone - it will hit the side of a barn at 500m. Get RDB for 500m. Put a punisher 2 on the boa with thunder until you can afford a taran. Patton is a cheap stop gap to teach you the ways of 300m rockets. Learn them quick.

Maybe upgrade boa to 5 while waiting for Griffit? If you can stick it out, do it. Save all your silver for Griffs although feel free to level anything you will use later on (Molots, punishers, thunder). Silver fuels upgrades and becomes the limiting factor later in the game. That being said the basic upgrades up to l5 are pretty cheap and you will need SOME levelling or it will seriously suck til you get to l16.

And yes, I started to understand how range and weapons matters And I got the idea, every setup is deticated to exact role and fight range. OK, will level boa to 5, and some levels to thunder, punishers and molots. Will try to buy Patton with 300m rockets for learning.

Hi folks, I am going to update my thread Been playing for couple of days now, purchased 10 days prem for better start, got level 22 and bronze league. Have 4 slots. My hangar is Griff 5 with punishers, griff 5 with pins and tulumbas 5, boa 5 thunder 5 , golem 5 with thunder 5 / cossac with ecu for beacon run. What do u suggest to invest now? I like knife/close combat style. Should I upgrade rdb Griff, spend gold on orkans, spend gold on new bot, spend worskshop points on somehing, wait for 5th slot (I am at 1000 gold only)? During one battle, I saw something which looked like bot with 2 thunders and 2 ecu, sounds nice for knife, which bot would that be? Thanks for advice..

4th slot is an excellent investmen! If u want something as a KF u could consider a leo with pinatas and thumder. But the griffs are the best investment IMO along the lines of all the above advice in this regard. I would not buy gold bots for the time being. Orkans maybe a better investment and get tarans from the WS. Dont convert gold for wsp unless u really really want to. Ot good in the long term for various reasons.
U probably seen a natasha. I personally wouldnt bother with it esp if u r looking for a KF. And especially with 2 ecus. Not an optimal set up.
Save ur gold till u form an oppinoin about what to use it for next. There are two thoughts about the 5th slot. 1. Get it asap with out consideration to anything else or 2. By weapons and bots to a limited degree and then go for the 5th. There are lots on this forum about this topic.

you'll probably make a bad investment somewhere along the way but don't sweat it. most of us, if not all, did it or still continue doing it. part of the fun and the learning process. just keep your weapon and bot in your inventory for the meantime.

All good advices (except the buy a paint job comment, we'll chalk that one up as a joke) . If you ever start wondering what set ups you should try, just look at the results at the end of the match and click on the top few players to see what's working for them. Try using what they're using and if it doesn't work, try something else. Eventually you'll find your playstyle and have a better idea of what suits you. Save yourself quite a bit of resources and time by researching on the wiki and the forum before you buy ANYTHING. Happy fragging

Thanks for advices ! For now, my spending plan is magnum and tarans for one grifin, taran for boa, and orkans for db grif. Gold will probably be saved for 5th slot. In the meantime, I'll upgrade my rdb griff to lvl7 and its rockets to 8-9. I hope that rdb grif can be useful later and good silver investment. Rest of silver will go to wsp, for magnum and taran, maybe aphid rockets. What do you think of it? And yes.. as I got some feeling for the game, i am becoming more and more frustrated with some of my teammates. Looks like nobody cares for beacons, everybody just wants to do some damage for more silver. Couple of times, i had to get closest beacon, despite being the slowest bot, while fast ones rushed and died. I played couple of rounds starting with cossac ecu, and bring victory easily to my team, just by junping around and geting beacons (no beacon guards in lower leagues i guess) . /Rant off sorry for spelling .
