H1151 A little bit of mobile bubble shooter to kill some time wouldn't hurt True, at least until they make that p2w too

Don't discount the idea of using some old tried and true standby's, either. I have trumpeted from the mountain tops the viability still of the leadhose and gunboat. I've slowly kept creeping up leagues with my hanger of only 2 premium bots (gep and gary) and no real premium weapons other than gekko, orkans and zeuss. I'm an iOS player, and just hit Diamond I the other day and now creeping up on expert. I've got one boa at lvl 10, all the rest of my bots are 8/9, and almost all my weapons are at 8/9. I'm putting that out there to let you know what I'm working with.
So, I've found that using the gunboat to just wear down the dash bots from a distance (it has the only complete set of weapons at lvl 10) I can take out 1 or 2 of them before I get taken out by them. I can usually get 1 or 2 dash bots with the leadhose as well, but that really does require a bit of strategy to jump them from ambush. It's not ideal, but I find them both to be a great counter. I typically run Gunboat - lvl 8/10 bot/molots. DB Griff- 8/9 bot/ork-pinatas ZeussCarny--8/9 bot/zeuss ThunderBoa-- 10/10 bot/thunder-taran DarthPatton-8/9 bot/gekkos.
I swap the patton out with a leadhose depending on if I'm doing Domination or Beacon Rush.
YMMV, but that's been my experience. When I grind to expert I'll let you know how that goes up there with my hanger.

Don't let someone here decide your fate. If you still enjoy the game and just don't enjoy facing cash bots, tank to a league you're competitive in. If you simply don't enjoy the game, quit. But you shouldn't make your decision based on what the forum users tell you is okay. You should play in whatever manner you want to.

OP, the frequently used premium gear is superior. The game is P2W. Absolutely undeniable. Any adjustment/optimistation you make with the obsolete hanger is just a temporary workaround that will be undone by going up higher in the league. Same goes for waiting for your weapons to level up. At some stage you will not be able to make any further adjustments. That approach is a dead end and Pixonic counts on it bc the likelihood of your valet opening becomes greater at that stage. bronzeknee compared this game in another thread to chess where some players have one or more extra queens. In reality that’s how this game is. Your success is determined by your willingness to pay. You can only find fair matches where your gear is competitive. And that gear could be your favourite set up.

Absolutely right. Most of the other advice given in this thread simply puts you where Pixonic wants you. In attempting to be competitive, you are making yourself vulnerable to CashBots. Stop playing it Pixonic's way. My counsel: 1) Stop raising the level of your most powerful bots/weapons. 2) Level up your non-competitive bots. 3) Play to irritate reds. Ever tried a Spiral Gepard? It's so much fun. It's my only bot that's high level at 9/10. I'm now having a great deal of fun with a Molot Cossack. 4) Don't ever fill your hangar with knifers. Mix and match with beacon cappers and mosquito irritants. 5) If all else fails, start a new account. Bring everything up to 6/6 or 6/7 or 7/7. Play at a level that's fun and where you can play weird bot combos. If you play to win or to cause the most damage or to rise in leagues, then you are playing like a whale. If you are not a whale, stop trying to be competitive because it's impossible in a P2W game. Play only for fun. And if it's not possible to have fun without being competitive, then either start spending like a whale or quit. You can't be an alpha male in this game without being a whale.

Pixonic encourage tanking.. cause it makes ppl that got murdered want to buy the new weapon or gold to rush upgrades.. it's a marketing thing that pixonic doesn't want to stop. U can try to farm silver and gold in lower leagues but they're right. U need 2-3 plasma bots and orkans for bulgy. Once u get to 10-11 weapons it will be easy. I jumped fr expert 1 to champ in half a month.. master league is hard but once u dominate expert then champ is really wat ur fighting

Join the 6/6 league. The 6pack custom games really are a lot of fun.
