Here is a list of all robot analysis articles I created. Enjoy! I am not playing the game anymore, except for some 6pack action. The new economy was the last straw for me. So unfortunately I won't update these articles anymore. However, I might check the forum in irregular intervals, and if you want me to link something then please pm me, I'll add your link to my article. Those articles were mostly written when 3.1 was out. I'll try to update them occasionally to adapt for new weapons and buffs/nerfs. The "Game version" lists when I updated the Analysis for the last time. As I am (no longer) spending money on War Robots, I have no easy access to new robots and weapons, and I will only review robots and weapons that I have test driven on the life server with a variety of setups. And I guess I'm way too salty to win anything in official giveaways  I encourage everybody to write their own reviews, I'll gladly link them here. Currently missing are: Spectre, Strider, Mercury, Hellburner, Pursuer, Hover Light robotsMedium robotsaceboy44 has written a Hover Analysis. A few Strider strategies from pilot07816z . Heavy robotsPlease note that these are based on my personal preferences, observations and opinions. You won't agree on everything I have written there, and do feel free to discuss and criticize. I have, however, tried to be open to all play styles, and to point out parts where there is no consensus in the community. My main focus on these articles is beacon rush mode, which is the playing mode I prefer. I'm not a big fan of TDM, but both on TDM and domination (if you can choose between dom and br) have become a playground for snipers and guided missiles, so there is some additional focus on Anciles (to counter Hydra/Spiral builds) and long range/physical shields (to counter the snipers). You might also want to check out my personal Gold and WSP buying guide and the hangar development guide. I've also written a quick guide to King of the Hill. If you're wondering which robots to buy, read my guide to a good component free hangar. |

This should be stickied!
*Sidenote: some values are off but I'm sure they'll be corrected.

this has been a great series and good idea to have a master post with links to them. I like each Analysis is well organized with bullet points and sections for better readability. a suggestion: when you writing the "Analysis" post, how about adding links to pre-existing post/threads about the bot, as "supplementary readings"? for example, the link to Muhlakai 's "brickfighting" guide can be added to the "Analysis: Boa" post. the guide was the reason I started using (and still enjoying) a TT Boa. for more popular bots, there may be multiple such posts/threads. in that way your Analysis can act as a portal? other forum members can suggest such links in their replies, and they can be incorporated as "EDIT:" even to already finished analyses? EDIT: PS. also add a link to this master post at the end of each Analysis post, so that one can browse over multiple bots more easily? |

Let me know what links you want me to mention in the analysis article, and in case I miss it just pm me |

Thanks, but with the current state of the game that would be more like "trusted to be sarcastic, disgruntled and pessimistic" |

Like most of us , you have probably only had long term game play experience with only about half a dozen robots of which you are more than qualified to offer expert advice .
You made no effort to find out or even contact folks who make a guilty pleasure of playing the "weakest" , "silliest" or "worthless" robots long term . You doing many robots injustice . Will you even update your work if a new patch gives so and so bot new powers ?

If you don't like the analysis, why not discuss my analysis in the appropriate threads? This isn't supposed to be official documentation or an encyclopedia, I don't make a living out of this, I just enjoy sharing some knowledge I gained. And the folks that make a guilty pleasure of playing the "weakest" , "silliest" or "worthless" robots long term are welcome to add their opinions there.
BTW, I ran almost every robot extensively on the live server, but yes, there are 5-6 robots that I have played for less than 50 matches. I did update many articles to include 3.3 changes, which of course you could have seen if you had checked them out. It is very unlikely that I'll update them any further, though, because I'm pretty much done with the game. I also won't discuss Shocktrains.

This is a forum. Gives a lot more room for personal views, experiences and opinions. Not to mention some laughs, a bit of fun, some griping and loosing our 「dookie」. Its all good.
There is a lot of valuable info in the analysis. I learnt some good stuff and I appreciate frunobulax 's efforts.
Did you read his analysis on the Inquisitor elcheapo ? That was funny! |

My point exactly . When i want to read some real facts i make use of War Robots WIKI thanks . I mean no offence to the Wiki, but after the Strayed and Weed moved the deleted the Wiki Forum and moved it to Proboards, the credentials of players there has been in strong decline, resulting in biased advice geared towards the supposed meta in Silver and Gold League. The only hard facts on the Wiki now are the statistics and lists and certain informative (and outdated) page guides. |

You do not appear to have much experience. I suggest you keep your opinions and criticism to your self. |

You do not appear to have much experience, looking at your hanger in the game, seems like you are tolling. You clearly haven't learned anything from all you have read-your hanger speaks volumes. I suggest you keep your opinions and criticism to your self. |

Just want to say thank you for all of the effort. I really wish I'd read this when I started out, but I've still found it extremely useful.
Really appreciate it

The "Game version" lists when I updated the Analysis for the last time. (Temporary note: I just started to update all articles to 3.5, and hope to finish this in the next few days.) Light robotsMedium robotsaceboy44 has written a Hover Analysis. Heavy robotsThere is no Inquisitor analysis that I'm aware of. However, this recent thread discusses Inquisitor setups. Please note that these are based on my personal preferences, observations and opinions. You won't agree on everything I have written there, and do feel free to discuss and criticize. I have, however, tried to be open to all play styles, and to point out parts where there is no consensus in the community.

You might also want to check out my personal Gold and WSP buying guide and the hangar development guide. I have been coming back to this post anytime I get a new toy or I am planning to get one. Other times when I do not have the bot, but I was beaten by a particular build, I come looking for some advice not to let it happen again. Sometimes just because I feel like it. THANK YOU!! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. |

THANK YOU!! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Thanks, much appreciated Just upgraded the last article to 3.5. So I guess 3.6 will come out later today But I'm afraid I'll never get around to doing a Hover, Inquisitor, Strider and [whatever the name of that other new robot is] analysis, because my days where I gave any money to Pixo are long gone, and I rarely play more than what is required to do my daily tasks. |
