Hi guys, still getting used to all the robot/weapon names and levels. I've only played this game for six days, I'm at level 18 and have four hanger slots. I have 60% wins (more of a team player, though not sure how to join squads yet). After going through a lot of light robots and two mediums I noticed I have more fun using the ones that jump around. I find it funny when the larger bots get pissed and try to swat me off them or chase after me while I run behind cover and just walk behind them while blasting away.  Anyhoo, I heard farming is better at a certain level (low/mid bronze?) Is there any way I could use a Cossack and a Rogatga together with two more robots (and weapons/levels you recommend) and stay in a bronze tier? Thanks big time in advance. |

Are you spending real money or only using what you earn in game?
Unfortunately the Cossack and Rogatha are pretty much what you'll be limited to if you want to stay where you are. I don't own a Rog but I've heard that Tarans work well with them (available once you turn level 20). Until then Tumblass work pretty well for a long time.

Hi Deadalready, I never "pay for pixels" in any game. Thanks for the tip, now I have to find the names of the weapons you just gave lol.

Easiest tier you will be able to use a rog AND a Cossack is high bronze (4/9 lights, 4/6 mediums), the rog will take quite some time to get, work for 4th slot and then a rog in 4/6 lights tier (low bronze). Best silver bots for this tier are taran Cossack and thunder schutze.

Just move up and use a griffin, the rog isn't exactly a great purchase anymore.

Rogatka is just fine but only with Orkans. Expensive, 4900 Gold. Relatively fragile but very fast with consistent jumping your speed is well over 50km. Packing twin Orkans just hop away and stay around cover. Use guerilla tactics.

I still consider the rog to be one of the best bots in silver, but yes, as you can not use it effectively in gold tier, I would not recommend buying one unless you are looking at doing some next level seal clubbing (im talking bashing the seals after they are dead type of seal clubbing). |

I'd go a bit farther and say that rogathkas are food in gold tier. The 3.2 seconds it takes for you to unload with orkans will get you killed. Tarans are even worse. And rog has lost a lot of usability in the lower tiers due to the speed change. I hate to say it, but the gepard would be a better purchase if you wanted to farm. |

One of the main reasons people use Rogs for farming is because it can outgun the gepard head to head. But yeah, just don't buy it, it's not necessary.

if u are planning to buy rogaka, dont do it. buying 2 gepards is way more efficient 1 red gepard (pnahata) and one yellow gepard (magnum) and u pretty much will be farming 5,8 or 10 gold per match...
cossack with taran is really good as well (cornering or backjumping)
pd: medium 4/8 is mid silver 「whiskey tango foxtrot」? well now i understand why with light 1/8 i am encountering heavy 6/4 LOL

There's a person in the iOS wiki gold clan who uses a taran rogatka in low gold, seems to work ok for him |

Hey guys, I just turned level 20 and still figuring out this wp whatever. Seems I can't afford the Gepards and Rogs aren't recommended so I'll just do more research. It's so complicated with all the weapon/robot names and the fractions (1/2, 7/8, 3 1/5 etc).

They aren't really fractions, most of the time it goes like this... (6/8), where the 6 represents the bot level, and the 8 represents the weapon levels.

I could really go for the rog cooldown being dropped to 8, and maybe the Griff to 12

Stopcamping, you're right and that's what I meant. On another topic, this idiot noob just wasted a chunk of gold constantly clicking the 'change objective' button. Didn't notice it goes from free to gold charges after a few clicks. ?
And guess who was in his humble little Cossack when he bumped into one of those spider robots (raijin or something). Jump drives really helped me run away quickly! But we won the game nonetheless due to getting all the beacons.

The big red (generally) spider bot with 2 heavy weapons is raijin, the smaller blue spider with 3 medium weapons and a deplorable energy shield is the fujin. |

Stopcamping, maybe it's the fujin since that's a medium bot and I don't have any heavy bots to be in that tier. All I saw were spider legs and I was runnin' and gunnin'. ?

Bro tip (not even close to pro lol): i can assume you were using a punisher because you only just got to lv 20; when running a non-energy Cossack, your away jump should be close to perpendicular but not quite, so about 80 degrees from parallel. When running a plasma (taran) Cossack, jump sideways (from facing the fujin) so you get as much damage onto it while dodging. Jumping sideways (or towards your next beacon) also goes for taking on any medium bot, and the 80 degree jump goes for taking on heavies. I'd give you the math, but I'm lazy. All I can do is sit here and say that it works. |

Saltesers, wow that's some heavy advice you gave, thanks! I had to read it twice to get a good picture. But yes, I only use punishers since I have no gold or wps for the cool stuff. Will take your tactics to the next tournament, thanks!
