Thanks very much, I know I haven't been on much lately but I have also really only recently properly gotten back into the game.

The "don't use auto targeting" is very much useful... if I can't manually cycle through targets... I'd quit playing.
And you have to link your account to FB and be FB friends with anyone you want to have as friends in game.
So what is the trick to using it? When I have it activated, it auto-targets. When I have it deactivated, it STILL auto-targets. Account is already linked to FB. You need to find some friends on facebook who also have the game linked to their facebook. Both of you have to play on the same version of the game (Facebook gameroom) as you can't play with people on ios, android etc. You can't even friend people on steam who use the same server. If you are new to the game, can I suggest getting a nice emulator and playing the android version

I don't remember if it was you or somebody else that had the concept of a campaign like this that took map segments based on winning game battles - where the actual game itself didn't really matter. It could be War Robots, bot, battle bay or any number of team based games. I think that skill being more important than hangar / money is the most important part of this.
Consider this. Everybody make a new account. work it up to level 15 so that you can do custom games etc. Max 3 bots (hangar slots) currently available silver only equipment only (not shutze, golem or boa) at max level 5 (that takes out heavy bots entirely). Quick, balanced, easy to level and everyone is on a level playing field.

Just wondering. Is there a reason to do this as an unlimited level 1 system? I love the idea of a campaign but a restricted version (maybe silver only at first) of 6 pack slowly extending into newer equipment, a system which you yourself invented, would appear to be capable of working equally well and is already largely tested for balance.
I would be using this as a way of bringing in an already existing community without alienating them, while bringing in new players that can all further populate both variations of the game.
Part of the reason I'm questioning this is that all the rules don't seem to be written yet and at level one, a lot of the component bot particularly dash bots will have a massive advantage imho.

Here is the hanger currently. You need an Averger on the second Leo, and go energy build on the Boa. EDIT: You seem to be forgetting about the Gust, Go Gust on the first Leo...Pinata is under powered as compared. I would go further and say avenger on both leos. even if you don't think they'll work with pinatas it is better in every way than a thunder and reasonably cheap to upgrade.

Thunder is not good anymore. avenger is a relatively cheap and better alternative.

Oceania fight night is currently 10am UTC Saturdays. (Translates to 9pm Australian eastern standard time).
Was moved back considerably as it was too late for the New Zealanders.

I have given up playing my D3 account on PC. Gold 1 is the highest I can go without getting put with champions - and I'm not willing to grind a secondary account that far.

You sound like you are swapping between diamond level bots without really having a path forward.
My opinion. Stick with what you have and start working towards an end game hangar. Put your resources towards bots like the mercury, bulwark, mender, fury and ares and weapons like the ember, halo, scourge and trident. It will take a while but your resources are being wasted at the moment.

If you are after an anti shield bot - go ember. either taran ember or orkan ember (with slightly different uses).

If carnage only needed a small speed increase or small health boost then some players would use them in champion at least some of the time. Carnage really needs something more dramatic before it would be viable in the current meta. e.g. stronger again ancille and a small health boost. Even a second Passive Module slot would make a huge difference. Dragoon Carnage is still viable if played carefully (Dragoon Bulwark is objectively better, even before considering the extra 2 Modules, but Carnage has features that can be used to its advantage), but that may be more a testament to Dragoons than to Carnage. Any other weapon (IMHO) puts it at a huge disadvantage in the current meta. Calamity might allow Carny to regain some of its lost glory though. I think that the same could be argued for tridents at the moment - again a testament to the weapon rather than the bot.

Surprised that the Carnage isn't in the poll. The Carnage is an amazingly quick bot that moves at a whopping 40km/h. And it's OP Rush ability can give it 10secs of speed boost that lets it run at a staggering 66km/h!! It's energy shield is the same as a Haechi, but it's almost so useless that you won't even notice having it around you. The Carnage can tank a full blast from a Treb Fury!! How awesome is that!?! Actually the Carnage Ancile is stronger than the Hiachi, Hiachi has the weakest "inbuilt" Ancile, Fujin has the strongest inbuilt Ancile, all this is balanced. problem comes in with broken weps & broken bots. Carnage needs a small speed increase OR small health boost, key point being here is SMALL. Pixonic has a history of adding imbalance & not fixing ALL ELSE to re-balance...they just nerf or add something stronger 1 month later.... If carnage only needed a small speed increase or small health boost then some players would use them in champion at least some of the time. Carnage really needs something more dramatic before it would be viable in the current meta. e.g. stronger again ancille and a small health boost.

I have a clan on android just for people in 6 pack that don't otherwise have clans for their accounts. No obligation for squadding or cups or anything - but for those people that do that sort of thing there are the bonus clan tasks and end of month bonuses.

It does amaze me that someone calls a haechi slow. But be that as it is - it isn't the bot it was when pix was calling it 'best of the best'. oh wait, that was only a couple of days ago.

I don't suppose you realise just how old the post you are replying to is? It has had a birthday. I realize that now. So what? New people come to this forum all the time, and it's about tactics. Some newbies, like me, might appreciate tips for older weapons. I didn't realize it was breaking the rules to contribute to threads that are older. Why provide that ability if it's such poor form? Consider me properly shamed. Which is why I was responding to the other guy's comments, he got shamed by a War Robots snob so I backed him up. That's the problem with message boards; there's always dudes that have been on the forum for years, and see fit to condescend to new people. This is the second time I've gotten a snarky comment from you. There won't be a third. I'm officially a lurker now. Congratulations on your status, by the way. Ok. Nothing I have said to anybody has been intentionally snarky. The reason for my comment was two fold - 1: I was amazed at how old the thread you were replying to was - it struck me as funny to comment that it had had a birthday. It in no way meant to put you in a bad light. 2: the amount that this game changes means that the comment (about punishers) that you were replying to is no longer particularly valid. The only other comment that I could see that could be construed as snarky was my 'war robots 101' comment. Again not intended to be snarky in any way. I apologise fully and profusely.

Remember they are still playing on the same platform as gameroom - it isn't as if they had to change all the graphics to the new style.

The cheapest good weapon is a trident - but don't buy with gold before your fifth slot. Tridents are cheap at 1000au and really quick and easy to level up. LRM is really not good in War Robots. Replace with pins if you do get tridents. Meanwhile because all of that is gold - just replace the whole lot with an RDB griffin - that is a griffin with pins (not pinata) and tullumbas which are both 500m splash rockets. They will do a superb job of softening up mechs dashing towards beacons and rooting out campers - they have splash so can shoot people hanging around the edges of corners (as can tridents). Natty is a tough Bot to equip early, as the only decent Ag Heavy weapon is the Thunder. With patience and lots of Ag, you can get Tempests or Avengers with the Workshop, but yeah, Griffin with Tulumbas/Pins, Punishers, or Molots would be a much better cheap mid-ranger. Hmm, looks like I’ve been doing it wrong. I’d usually go to the nearest beacon, cap, then start doing scratch damage against everyone until a mech with higher ROF takes me out (if I don’t spawn as Kumiho and cap and ambush as much as possible, or just survive). I’ll get kills from finishing off people or laying into anyone in the open with the cannons. (I also already have a fifth slot) Should I disregard long-range entirely? What’s the robot/weapon to get if I do have gold? (I swear I’m not a whale, I only buy crap if it’s on sale and don’t bother with rushing jobs). Personally it isn't part of my playing style to start with a mid or long range build. They are what I use mid game 'if' we have a beacon advantage or if I'm running out of bots too quickly. Mid range straddle the point between brawling and support where long range builds are only useful for the one job and are not very useful on some maps. Tridents are currently really good and really cheap both to buy and to upgrade. Avengers are also but I wouldn't really call them a mid-range build. If you get two tridents - look at eventually replacing the natasha with a fury and getting a third. Good long range is essentially limited to flux (high range constant fire laser - used by champions) or Trebuchets (single shot, 23 second reload - boring as- not used by champions). Flux are expensive to get and upgrade and take a fury to run effectively.

Uhm.. ok.. sorry. (Slinks back to the sandbox) Don't sweat it, brother. I personally think Punishers have their place. I have 2 leveled to 10 on my Leo and they're effective on energy shields. I like to wear down the enemy shield to nothing, especially if another bot is going after the same Red. They can hide their bot but their shield sticks out and the Punisher (or an Avenger) can wear it down in a few seconds. Then they're toast. He's so focused on the other bot I can continue to hose him down and he's dead in no time. So I like the guns and missiles, including the Punisher; not everyone can afford top shelf weapons I don't suppose you realise just how old the post you are replying to is? It has had a birthday.

One thing Piggie does not understand, if players don't want to pay, there is no way they will pay. When that day comes where it forces everyone to pay to play, I will stop playing. Looking at the costs of upgrades, offers, etc, Piggie has a problem with their sanity or maths. If they are charging like 3 bucks for a Kumiho, like recently, why not. Piggie has to think in terms of volume sales. Even if they charge like monthly fee of 5 bucks, why not. So many changes in just 6 months since I started... just crazy. You've come in well into the insanity. It's been going for about 18 months now.

Hello, im prime, i have been playing this for many years, after taking a year long hiatus, I am back. Currently in the diamond league, I have a 66% win ratio, 898k avg damage and I use mics. I would like a clan that has many active players that use discord and preferably im the diamond league. I have many great bots. Reply if you need more info. Prime Did you ever find a clan? Never said what platform they were on.

This is painful I haven't seen half those bots, let alone the loadouts in a long time. I'm hovering between High Bronze and Low Silver League so it is a pain. Most don't have enough budget for multiple decent conventional builds (me included). Try these builds.

The title says it all. Uneffective Builds I came across are: Kang Dae Fury (the red tried to shoot me at point-blank) Gekko Stalker (Sadly a Blue) Zenit/Noricum (Too less damage/ sitting duck) Cossack Hydra (I tried it) Spydra Gareth (I tried it) Gekko-E?u-Hydra Griffin (A blue) Molot Griffin (Too less damage unless you can MK2 it) Hydra-aphid Galahad (A blue ) Please add in the builds you view as ineffective This is painful I haven't seen half those bots, let alone the loadouts in a long time.

One more question: So, it's like starting over again from 0 in Champion every season? And I have to prove that I belong there or I go back to Master League? Thanks for your answer, I'd like to know how it works. Any extra points above 5000 you accumulated will be added to the “winged cup” score below your league symbol, as some kind of souvenir. And you start again at 5000. During the first five league placement battle, if you score a net + league points, you stay in C, otherwise you start at M1. So be careful if you were progressing towards the C Battle Reward, after finishing the M Battle Reward at the end of a season. There is one interesting possibility. If you are, say, 5022 and still in M1 (i.e. you were doing the C league qualification matches) at the end of a season, you start the new season at 5022. After the first five matches, if you are above 5000, you will be placed in the C league, I was in just this situation. ended up waiting four days for skirmish to arrive so that I could play out my champion chest before falling back to masters.

Try Avenger/Gust on the Leo. The Gusts outperform the Punishers. I need to test this. I know that the punishers or the gusts outperform pinatas. Gusts at very short range definitely outperform - but I think that the punishers at 400m would be better.
