I'm Josh. In game I go by bioctoplasterio. I got into the game a little over a month ago after seeing ads for this game, daily, for over a year. I'm not in a clan yet, but I've worked my way to Diamond league (currently Diamond II). Oh, I play on android. I have enough WSP to put me in the market for a new bot and weapons, so suggestions are welcome. My current hangar: - Leo - Tempest and 3 Pins
- Griffin - 2 Punisher and 2 Punisher T
- List item G.I. Patton with 4 Pinata
- Cossack with Taran (I have a soft spot for my nimble little scrapper)
I'd love to get into a clan and I've applied to a couple but no love yet. I'm open to suggestions for bots/weapons/tactics and constructive (and even non-constructive criticism). In domination, I typically go for Cossack (get as many beacons as I can, take pot shots and take out weakened or light bots), then I move to Patton, then Leo and close with Griffin. So, anyways, hi. Oh, and I love this game.

Welcome to the addiction...LOL
Leo tempest, recommend replacing the pins with molots so you can stay 700m. Molots have a recent buff.
Punisher Griff, lots of fun but you need to keep your distance at 400m. However, I find new pilots does better with RDB griff because of less exposure.
Pinata patton not very healthy, at 300m lots of bots can take you down really fast after you run out of rockets. If you like patton for brawling try patton punisher or patton aphid. Most people use patton for sniping, patton molots or patton geckos.
Cossack, lots of fun but would be very hard to go past Diamond. Try his bigger brother Rog.
But before all this, get your fifth slot first.

Welcome aboard! Your hangar looks very brawler geared - which is fine as long as you don't mind large maps. Best advice I can give is to have fun. I wouldn't spend your WSP on any of the Legacy stuff, unless it's Tarans. Magnums can usually be acquired for free. Take look at the posts here and try to get a feel for which of the new component based stuff you would like to grind for. If you're a F2P player, do your research and ask lots of questions before you commit your resources (WSP/Gold/Silver) to anything. You're probably in Bronze league. I would stay there as long as possible and enjoy the ride. When the next event comes, grind for the free Magnum as your first goal - usually done with that scrappy Cossack for beacon capping tasks. Save your gold as much as possible and don't spend it on speeding up upgrades. Save the gold for things like Orkans, 5th slot and component purchases.

Actually, I'm in Diamond II league, is that bad?  Thank you for the suggestions and advice. I'm still very new to the game so the advanced bot/weapon pairings are still foreign to me. |

I got to feeling like a machine, and that's no way to feel.

Welcome!
In short, if you replace your pins on the leo with molots, and do absolutely nothing but upgrade the punisher griffin, youve got two fine builds you can grow on.
Sadly, your cossack should become an orkan rogatka, which is still very fun.
And if you like the style of your pinata patton, get a second griffin and make it a "death button"...two orkans, two pinatas.
I would grind for gold to get your fifth slot aND put in a plasma build such as a taran magnum griffin or taran ancile lancelot. Tarans on the rogatka are very nice as well.
Congratulations on getting to diamond two in only a month! Have fun out there.

Are you a man of wealth and fame??
Cap the beacon,
Cap the beacon,
Double tap the reds,
The game is never over,
Till all your bots are dead.
Be frugal with your silver,
Even more so with your gold,
The 5th slot is important,
Or so I have been told.
Don't be a lazy camper,
Or a missile chucking sot,
Fight tooth and nail for blue team,
Never leave 'em in a spot.
A win or loss may be determined,
Before you drop a bot,
But how you play is noticed,
So give it all you've got.
Bout all the advice I have. Welcome to the forum.
Oh, and keep it clean. It's family night. ?
