So I started around the weekend and I'm lvl 16.My max Dmg is 500000 which is pretty good for me,I use Piñata Patton,Piñata Thunder Vityax Two Cossacks with Punishers.I dominated some games but sometimes I get these people who are WAYYYY higher than me,They have these orange guns that can't stop firing and this thing that goes invisible and this gigantic spider robots with some hurtful things and looked like they came out of pacific rim!They elevate them selves and they won't die.Another one is this guy that Switches his guns that looked really cool and I want 1 too.My Patton can't even get a shot down be us by the time he reaches the enemy he's almost dead from missles coming down from the heavens.Any tips for me?

The orange guns, that don't stop shooting are plasma weapons. No chance for you, to deal with them at your level. They become available at lvl20. You will get them in time. You have to endure. Use your cossaks to capture beacons. Don't duel bots, that aren't your size. You should get Griffins soon. Equip them with tulumbas/pins and molots. See that your weapons are at an equal level as your bots. Save all your gold for the fifth hangar slot. When you gain access to the Workshop buy magnums and tarans. You started at a somehow difficult time. Just endure...

OMG you made me smile! Tips... Some games are gonna suck, no matter what. It sounds like you are doing very well for a noob. There are some generally accepted growth purchases that you need to save Au for... the two most important are: Slots (all 5) and Orkans ( at least 4 total, but 1 or 2 before the 5th slot is sometimes better for some, but I think 5th slot should always come first, personally.) Put an Ork on that Cossie, and it will be a blast... pun intended. Level 20 will unlock your workshop... from which you will earn WSP points to purchase Plasma weapons, and other bots and weapons that will be a bit more competitive. That blue shield that your Pinatas can't penetrate won't stop Plasma weapons. As far as missiles from the heavens.... Ugh. The only thing that will stop them is cover. If you start to get pelted with them, you prolly will continue to be... as pilots who use them like to just pester the crap out of you. Hug the walls. Get behind tall structures while you are getting hit, then run to another batch of cover while they reload. Try to look around you and figure out who is shooting them at you. Either stay out of their range (600 m) or go get them if it won't detract from winning the match. They are mostly an annoyance unless leveled, but, even then, it is a distracting annoyance that can mess up your shots, or take you out at a critical moment, etc.

They elevate them selves and they won't die. Sooner than you think, you will laugh when they do this as you slaughter them. Seriously, some great advice here. Poke around. Also visit the Wiki for info: warrobots.wikia.com/wiki/War_Robots_WikiGood luck and welcome!

Sure, I hit. Sadly, not its hitpoints...

LOL If I have not played this game before in android (I now play IOS) I would be exactly like you.
I was shocked when I returned to go play this game again when my destrier was dropped beside a Griffin back in late January and I was like 「whiskey tango foxtrot」!?

Ha!... i just joined this forum to come in and ask the same question.
I'm almost identical to the OP.. it was fun up until i opened the 4th slot... then bang!... i'm now just a liability on the field.
So what's the lowdown?
Have they opened up matchmaking to make it a free for all?

The matchmaking did undergo some changes. Well, I didn't figure it out already, but it seems to be winrate dependent. The better you are, the better your opponents.

any idea how long I have to put up with the relentless smacking before i start getting placed with Bots in the same ballpark as mine again?
My win percentage is down to 56...
Or is this just life now until i save up the resources to purchase bigger toys?
It'd be nice to feel like something other than dead weight/decoy every battle... but if this is the path one must trek...

If you're facing tough opponents and scoring very little, matchmaking will place you against weaker pilots and then the cycle continues until it evens out.

I've played hundreds of games under it and have experimented in a variety of ways. It may work out okay as you move toward the top end, but the rest is a chaotic mess.

In light of all this, is there some sort of up to date reference for upgrading advice?
If Bot strength has little bearing on matchmaking, i take it that leaving my current hangar of Cossack, Gepard, Patton, Vityaz at level 2, while i gather experience and resources isn't doing me any favours?
Should i be tipping silver into these sorts of Bots at all?... level them up?... save for something else?

Don't invest any more in the bots - they are all dead ends (other than the Patton, which only has a future as a weapons carrier for Aphids). As far as Ag weapons go, Pinatas and Thunders are worth levelling as is a Tulumbus (which you can slap on the Cossack). Once you get access to heavy bots, fill your hangar with them and then start levelling them. Griffin and Leo in particular are useful pretty much the whole game. Save Au for opening up slots in your hangar. Once the workshop is available, use WSP for better weapons (Magnum, Taran, Trident).

Is this genuine or is the OP trying to prove a point? Sorry but this seems disingenuous to me. Orange guns? Gigantic robots? Thing that goes invisible? Missiles coming down from the heavens... Maybe watch out for the three-headed beast that goes BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, and it done kilt you.

But being on this site simply means you want to learn more and we ALL learned the names of bots at the very least. I'm just saying some people make posts like this to further the sentiment that the MM is broken (well, it kind of is...). Unfortunately it also wastes a lot of (helpful) people's time. This is the OP's one and only post; suspicious you think?

You know, you probably just diagnosed your own problem. If you stop experimenting and leave your hangar alone you may start seeing good matches.

The reason I started to experiment was be because of the patterns I saw over the course of many matches. Anyway, there's no need to play around with it anymore thanks to the good work of our many-aliased friend from RUIN.

I'm not really having a prob with matchmaking anymore restarted two nights ago hitting lvl 15 right now, I read up on everyone experiences and found that keep my damage dealt as low as poss ( lit I'm sitting on 69000 damage) I'm still on 78% win rate I'm mostly losing due too bloody tankers (lit just quit early and let another beacon grabber join damnit!!!) so yea I grab beacons and generally only attack to dissuade or help strip a shield tbh this tactic wouldn't work if new players weren't Strolling in and attacking like pit bulls ( I heart you new player your eagerness to make things go boom makes me smile...just please for peats sake grab a beacon now n then ) well that's about all I've got to say anyways back to grinding that gold have fun guys.
