I'll tell you what. (In Diamond 1) I played multiple matches at different times today (early afternoon, early evening, late evening) and saw Champion league players in every match. A couple of those bots, like the Ochokochi and the Dagon needs to be nerfed I think.
I couldn't even make a dent in a Dagon's yellow shield. It was like he was completely invulnerable. The he shot at my sheild and it died in the first shot, then my health in the next two shots.
On the other hand Ochokochi seems to be able to run across the map in just a few seconds. I tried shooting one of these guys from behind. Was able to empty my L9 weapons three times on a MK3 Ochokochi while he was focused elsewhere. His health meter might have dropped 4-5 pixels. Then he turned around and killed me before I could take the two steps back into cover.
In another match I was killed by an Ochokochi without him ever firing a shot. He just ran up to me and I died.

Welcome to War Robots, when you spend hard money that's the difference it makes, hence pigsonic's op business model. Creators of op bots and weapons systems along with special drones and maxed pilot skills, that make free play near or entirely obsolete. Wait till you see a few Newtons and what they will do to you.

Wait till you see a few Newtons and what they will do to you.I ran across at two of those in a single match, both on the red team. The match before that I had one guy (might have been one of the same players, who knows), but he killed my Titan in just a couple seconds. I looked up his specs to see what he was using. He was of course in a maxed out Newton with maxed out Tonans and Fulgurs. I can't even figure out how someone acquires one of those and all the weapons to go on it. They don't seem to be available for purchase. And speaking of acquiring things. How do you get those yellow triangles used in the Ultimate Luck game? I think I had one a month or two ago and haven't seen another one since.

Those are upgrade tokens and you can get them by winning on the leaderboard, come in first or sometimes they might be available as you go up the milestones on the leaderboard. They are also available for sale. Those Newton weapons are available when you buy red event cards or data pads, but Goodluck getting that particular item that you want because they mix it in with 33 OTHER items, now you could get the red (gold) cards, still luck of the draw but there are only 8 OTHER items, but of course these cards are rarer and more costly.

Those Yellow triangles, I would probably recommend staying away from using them for that game, use them to upgrade your weapons and bots and pilots. They are very hard to come by for non spender players, and even spending players, they aren't cheap. This was another pigsonic 「fluffernutter」ing we took, because we used to be able to upgrade bots and weapons easily to mk3 with some gold.

To get Newton, you need the purple data pads. It is mixed in with 22 OTHER items so it's luck of the draw to get Newton. You can get the gold version purple cards (data pads) and there are 6 OTHER items that could come out first.
One side note to this, although there are 22 OTHER items along with the chance to get Newton, but that's not to say that it is fair! Pixonic (pigsonic) may have upped the odds to win one prize (A Newton) vs another prize in the outcome. Meaning you might have better odds of getting 「dookie」 prizes vs a brand new Titan.

New Data pads, now with the red cards, there are 38 OTHER prizes besides the Newton energy weapons, so odds now are actually quite worse. To obtain a Newton, purple cards, there are 21 OTHER awards, so this is slightly better odds.
Red gold cards, Energy weapons are not available. Purple gold cards, Newton is not available.

There are ways and means of exploiting the leaderboard selection system. I just picked up a dorito from the drones leaderboard with barely 400 pts. Yes, I've seen boards where the top guy was a massive spender but it isn't always that way. Leaderboard sniping is also a thing.

I just wasted all five of my bots and the titan fighting a maxed out Ochakochi bot. I was able to get his health down to about 50% with help from a teammate, but we still lost that beacon.
Hoooray Pixonic!

Hoooray Pixonic! this is a common occurrence in expert and master leagues and these people have multiples of them ...they tend to ignore beacons and just run around decimating everyone so everyone leaves ....i could carry on fighting but there is little point when this happens so i leave too and move on. people have gotten extremely lazy and i'm not talking about leavers but those who have the best of everything and want super easy win mode with no effort whatsoever......no skill involved at all.

I swear, I think the match making system knows how to make you lose on purpose. Yesterday I was winning (beacon rush) left and right, almost couldn't lose even if I laid back and tried out being a sniper the whole game. Probably had at least 9 winning games in a row and maybe 15 over the entire evening.
Today is making up for that with not a single win yet and at least 8 losing games in a row. (I know because I haven't been able to complete a daily gold task that just needs one more win).
The strange thing is how the losses play out. Somewhere around the 5 minute mark the blue team starts losing players and is usually down to 2 bots with 3 minutes left on the clock. Every dang match. Then of course the red team grabs all the beacons and wins.

An example of some really bad matchmaking. I feel bad for those guys at the very bottom. The champion league players were really just going wherever they wanted. I had no chance of stopping them and the people at the bottom had even weaker hangars than me. ![](https://i.imgur.com/pPRUXNB.jpeg)
