B.o.T - Battle of Titans

We’ll keep trying...?

It's been a lot of fun for me too, [CK]erazor. ^_^

(Though my competitive side is having me grind out Top equipment a lot faster than I should.)


I just got a Weapon Armor for my Bully's Vulcan off the Black Market.



The T3 Weapon Armor gives it 3050 HP instead of 2900 for a T2 Weapon Armor, which is... only a 5.17% improvement - 150 HP for 750K EC, or 4M EC to upgrade a T2 Weapon Armor to T3 without VIP.

Having had much the same reaction, I confess I now look @ War Robots as “the LEGO version”. No real comparison between them. That said, I had the best run of games in War Robots today that I have had in weeks, so credit where it’s due...since it’s due

Welcome to the ranks! Pilot #508549

YAY! I did, too...sorta: had a T3 Mangler show up in a market drop - I had to get it!

Sooo much cheaper than doing it the long way. Don’t know that it’s made a difference in the field as such, but often surprised at the shifts in performance that switching upgrades can produce. Like you, I’m rolling thru the options, seeing what I like: like, reducing reload time...great for Beacon and Fulger (and of course, Sting-monsters depend on it).

But...a T3 Inquisitor? That’s got to be a one-shot wrecking crew all by itself

Parfait deleted her acct?

SC is pretty fun

I played some War Robots matches yesterday, after ~1 or 2 weeks break from War Robots. Can't play it anymore. It's ridiculous.

Once you get the hang of it, it’s a great game. I’d recommend at least only play BoT for a solid week before writing it off. The discord server is helpful to read through. If you have any specific question you can ask there or in this thread.

seems like she deleted her acct here. I’ve seen her in the BoT discord under a different name tho.

You’ve just described why and how I came to drop it back afterw the initial release.

First, I can tell you that the beacons aren’t point-worthy: capturing them provides a tactical advantage but doesn’t affect the score. ‘E’ beacon is always in the middle. E, C, and D can all be captured.

The opening drop screen, where it counts down, will show you two blue drop-points; the red drop-points will be on the opposite side of that displayed map. On the desert map, there’s just left and right ends; on the arctic map, if blue spawns on either side of the bottom end, red will spawn on either side of the top end. If blue spawns on one side of the map, red will spawn caddycorner to them.

When you drop, hightail it to the closest dark beacon and try to capture it (you’ll probably have to fight for it).

When you put yuor crosshairs on that little dot, the range to that target should show up right below: your weapons have range, so you may not be able to hit it...but it might be able to hit you...so don’t stand out in the open, wondering: reds will show up in your UI as red spots, a little triangle is a light bot, a solid dot is a medium bot, an X indicates a Tirpitz (very large, well-armed, well-armored - and very slow, mostly).

Each class of bots has specialties: lights are fast and can jump, Mite can climb; mediums can RUN as well as walk, is more heavily armored than the lights, carry heavier weapons; Tirpitz has the heaviest arms, can’t run or even maneuver much, lowest mobility.

What I did was grab a couple of lights, learned what to avoid, learned how to use the run, jump, climb, learned how to survive; after a few days/week, I started adding one of the mediums to the hangar. There IS definitely a learning curve, but it’s not hard to adjust. After three days, I play BoT heavily for 7-10 days: stopped getting destroyed so fast, then started to get good damage, started to score better....

Maybe the biggest thing is not to expect BoT to be like War Robots: they may have been designed and coded by the same folks, but they made some different choices this time...one of them is a more realistic field and range of view. The screen moves up and down, as well as side-to-side, so learn how not to lose your aiming point!

See if any of that helps...

On the upgrading, etc - I found that bewildering at first, too, but it’s really much better, it offers you far more control over your bots’ resistance, armament, protection, etc. overall, I’d say don’t worry about it, it will come clear as you get more familiar with it.

Backpacks: there are special weapons, known collectively as backpacks. Currently there are three - two for lights and one for mediums. Light backpacks are Beacon, which calls down a bombardment from orbit (requires that you maintain line-of-sight) and Fulgur, which is an EMP device that will ‘freeze’ a bot that’s in range. The medium is a guided missile launcher, Javelin. All have upgrades available for augmentation.

Javelin is not accurate when the target is too close; Fulgur *needs* the enemy bot to be ‘in range’; beacon really does require you maintain line of sight to the *target* - not the red dot indicating its position...

BOT has a terrific Discord channel, lots of information about the game, real active user participation, and the company, Red Button, is also active. Great resource - there’s an access link to it on the Fandom.freeforum page, so you can go to the wiki, search for battle of Titans, and Bob’s your uncle

“More effective” meaning I have been in fewer games where I mech-out in the first two minutes, fewer games where the reds control the field from first drop. I have no reason to assume anything has changed on the Pix side, so getting 9 kills in a 7-minute game, some decent honor points, relatively decent Ag is as likely to be improved play on my part as anything else.

Going from one decent game in five to seven decent games in ten *might* be due to anything...but I feel like I’m being more effective for my team and against the reds. Maybe not, but....

Latest update is out:

Yes. I am iOS.

I'm currently in the top 10 of the 6 day left ranking, no idea how that is called correctly.

6th. 「fluffernutter」ING PROUD of that as you rank down very fast if you lose one match.

BoT is truly about skill. Sneakery. Outsmarting. Backstabbing. Patience. Hit and Run. God, that's a friggin good game.
