Hi, I started playing War Robots after Manni Gaming quit Vega Conflict and started posting videos of War Robots on YouTube (I'm a big fan of Manni). Only been playing a few weeks but am fully hooked! Even though my $100 android phone struggles a lot and lags heaps I still managed to get a half decent hanger without paying any money: thunder magnum Leo, thunder pinata Leo, punisher Griffin and trebuchet gekko Natasha averaging lvl 8. Best is 8 kills and 780,000 damadge I seem to have plateaud in silver league II (primarily because of the lag). Anyway, hopefully I see some of you guys in battle! (Just shoot rockets at me, it freezes my phone lol) ;-)

Welcome to the game and the forum! , Don't be too put off by all the threads moaning about the recent changes - a lot of them do suck, but the game is still playable and despite what a lot of people say, can still be done without spending money.

Take a screenshot of your profile with all the weapons showing. Just google "how to screenshot" with whatever phone or device you are using. Just make a post/reply and upload that image.

I'm going to keep this setup and try to lvl it up some more, I like knife fighting and I struggle to see a bot that's vastly superior to the Leo to that end. Might save some gold for an Ancile so I can protect teammates, but beyond that? I have fun with this setup, I use the Griffin's jump to ATTACK not run away, landing point blank with prepped punishers is devastating but its to 'squishy'. I won 1 treb in a gold box, bought the other, won the gekko and won a taran but it doesn't fit anywhere so might buy another for Griffin. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks

I feel the Natasha is the weak link, I don't like sniping when I could be shoulder to shoulder with a teammate holding the centre beacon. I could start with Noricum Patton then ditch but I feel like I'm letting my team down by not being proactive.

Welcome to War Robots & the Forum Community corpseripper! Hahaha awesome that you're hooked! I got hooked since March this year! Just remember to always aim for the FUN in this game. The part on lagging like crazy to the point that it freezes your phone when rockets come your way, is hilarious! I tried playing on an old iPhone 5 before, even firing Punishers on a Griffin made the framerate real choppy..! Cheers! [ ?] WilsonK.

I was thinking about creating a post asking pixonix if they could implement a sliding device (like the movement speed slider on the in-game menu) but only for graphics resolution, I read in the forum that the game optimises graphics to the maximum capability of the device, which I think is what's causing the lag. I would much prefer poor graphics and optimum performance... Just a thought from a new player. Thx* wilsonk

Thx* wilsonk As much as I hear you, the traditional way of losing detail for increased framerate ain't gonna cut it for mobile apps. What device are you using by the way?

Hmmm... if you have the budget, time for an upgrade I guess.. didn't hear much sluggish framerate for other android users here.

Well I don't have the budget, which is why I'm on f2p. If I did I'd be on a AAA title

I think I would describe this game as a 'premium app' along with the likes of; Mortal Kombat X and Real Racing 3. You need a high end device to truly take advantage.

Nice job posting the hanger. Like you mentioned the natasha may be a weak link since you have a smaller 4 hanger at the moment. Might I suggest a griffin tulu/pin setup? He has more mobility, can still fight at mid-range (500m) and that build can be taken to the higher levels too. Just a suggestion and thought and my 0.02. Good luck buddy.

Thanks jam-e-thon, it took forever to figure out I needed to be in 'desktop' format and not 'mobile' format to be able to upload my hanger lol! Would you recommend swapping out the Natasha for a pin/talumba Griffin? It seems a waste not to utilise those trebs. I don't think I'll be getting a 5th slot any time soon as I can't help spending au on speeding up the upgrades or buying more wsp! As a brawler that would like a new bot what would you recommend spending wsp on: Rhino, Fujin of Raijin? Thanks :-)

I think the magnum 'Theo' is my best build, great between 305m and 350m and staying out of rang of orkans and pinatas. It can also provide suppression. I've utilised the no reload feature, to give suppressing fire pinning down my opponent behind cover whilst a teammate moves into position to attack, a lot. It gives poor stats but hey there's no I in team! T.E.A.M. Together. Everybody. Achieves. More.

There are much worse examples than this, but he just pissed me off. I unloaded a full salvo at him when I saw he was going to tank, but he did nothing. I see this behavior every other match. I'm still in silver league btw

As a brawler that would like a new bot what would you recommend spending wsp on: Rhino, Fujin of Raijin? Thanks :-) corpseripper lol no problem. I already think you have two good brawlers for your level in both your Leo's. However those guys are typically not a finesse type of bot where you can dodge too much. It's more that he can join the action as a support or use his health to outlast the other guy as ways to preserve his health. Or you pick your opponents wisely. There enters in the griffins who has an escape ability and relatively cheap for your level. I think the punisher griffin will be a good one to level and he's great at support. Remember that he's most effective picking your opponents apart at the 400mm range staying out of 300-350 weapon range. Then when they are crippled and you have enough of a round of ammunition, you can move in to finish them off. I think there's nothing wrong with having the Natasha as your 4th bot, but from what I've seen in lower level gameplay and what I can remember when I was there ages ago, you will have lots of people who don't know what they are doing or just going to camp and not care about the win. If you are fine with that and just dealing damage sure use the Natasha. But if you want to win more often times than not, you should just enter the game with the mentality of being the guy who will do more of the leg work grabbing beacons. I know you said your fifth slot is far away but you can alternate maybe the RDB griff I suggested with the Natasha treb build and see which you prefer. I think the Griff has more capability of helping out with beacons and mobility rather than the natasha yet still giving you range to shoot some opponents from far. My personal preference. I think you can still level the treb evenly with all the other bots and weapons as you will need another bot eventually so whenever you do get a 5th slot, boom. You have 5 bots ready to go. Just my 0.02, good luck and hope this gave you another perspective and helped somewhat.

Yup, guys losing on purpose, guys not capping beacons, guys leaving your side right when you need their guns the most. Randos will always be frustrating. Wait until you run into a blue that tries to actively block you from engaging the enemy. That always made me go ape 「dookie」.
Looks like you got a fun hangar there though. My advice is to save some gold toward that 5th slot (yes, its a grind), and focus on Orkans as your next gold purchase after 5th slot. They are really good. Other than that, have fun, blow up reds, and dont let your league ranking concern you.
Cheers!

Thank you jam-e, wilsonk and heavy panda for all your positive feedback. This will be my last post on my 'introduce yourself' thread so as to let other new players rise to the top. I'm more than happy to be called out for a 1 vs 1 custom match with any of you guys, just post your desire to annihilate me HERE and I will be more than willing to accommodate! Happy hunting. PS ( I will still post my hanger updates periodically on this thread) ;-D

Welcome to War Robots! Lots of good advice from some very experienced players can be found here! Don't forget to have fun! I do recommend you try the Orkan Rog. Its not a damage leader by any means but it does put a smile on your face and helps you cap the occassional beacon! Zeuses on your Carnage is also something that must be experienced. I'm oscillating between high silver and low gold so I'll see you on the field!
