Their killing me out there!??

you had been warned

So true, bunny, so true...lol

Oh about $2000 worth

What is a smurf account

No, just an old man starting out.

I started my 2nd account on a Kindle Fire. Probably someone smarter can tell you how to have two accounts on the same device.

It is completely impossible to not get slaughtered in the first 10 seconds.
My hangar is 
Leo lvl 7
Fujin lvl 7
Doc lvl 6
Griffin lvl 6
And people ALWAYS TARGET ME FOR SOME REASON.

My weapons are:
Leo:
Aphid lvl 6
Thunder lvl 7
Gekko lvl 7
Magnum lvl 7

Fujin:
×2 molot T lvl 6
Taran lvl 5

Griffin:
×2 molot lvl 5
×2 tumblas

Doc:
×2 tumblas lvl 5
Molot lvl 4
Punisher lvl 4

Just a side note, I dont really have the resources for anything else... I rant because thats how I let off steam. Yelling my video game problems at the public. I guess I basicly try and hand my problens to other people. After that I go into a period where I'm fine, but the rant period comes back after a fee months.

I'm going to take you advice, but inly partiality. I'm going to do a pinata thunder build for my leo, but my Griffin is probably going to be a energy weapon bot with taran/gekko/magnum/ and another medium energy weapon. My doc is going to be replaced with a natasha (thunder ×2, pinata ×2) and my fujin is going to have all molot t. I'm sure there are problems with this hangar, and if there are plz call them out... also I plan on replacing my natasha with a Fenrir (calmity/ ×2 scourge) when I get all the components for them.

No matter what your level and hanger comp, you're gonna get smashed. The thing at your situation is just to make as much silver as possible.

I would suggest going all punishers. They are the best cost/benefit weapons for non paying players. Punisher t is still a good weapon up into champs.

The vityaz is a better tank than leo or natasha, imo, because it's cheaper to level and faster.

Since you are probably starved for gold, avengers are out of reach. Use and level thunders. But they have to be used close range.

Griffin has one jump every 2 days and it's run speed makes your grandma look like the six million dollar man. Still, the fact it has 4 hard points that can be filled with machine guns makes it viable.

Fujin can mount 3 punisher T. Do that.

Gareth is the best cheap fast bot as opener.

Play beacon rush exclusively. Open with Gary (Gareth) to cap a beacon or two. Use your shield to tank but stay away from rockets.

When Gary dies, look at the battle map. Are there reds approaching a blue beacon? Is there a big fight going for one beacon? Is there an undefended beacon that a lone red is attacking? Pick the best place to drop your next bot. You don't have to drop right away either, you can wait till that red gets closer. If you drop a tank with thunder, you want them as close as possible before dropping.

Stealth bots are your bane. Until you can get stealth bots of your own, or bots that can hit grounded stealthers without using radar, you just have to suck it up. Gary can chase and hit stealthers, but in general, you need to know this, what bot can do what.

Grind out battles as quick as possible. Do as much damage as you can, get as many beacons, then move on. Don't dwell on losses because there are tankers and douches at low leagues running meta bots that smash. Just move on. Keep grinding silver.

Use that silver to upgrade weapons first. Damage output earns silver. Bot upgrades at that point are only meaningful for speed. If you only play beacon rush, speed is only needed for the beacon runner. Upgrading a bot for hp is meaningless since a 10% increase in hp might amount to 5000 HP but that will disappear in a lag induced heartbreak before you know it.

Caveat here is some bots start at level 1 with max speed. Phantom and gepard and stalker come to mind. Only the phantom is worthwhile, don't spend gold buying crap. If you win one from slots, then cool.

Use silver to build weapons in the workshop. Spark or shredder are your first builds. They are cheapest to build, are good weapons, and will level your workshop so you can build things faster. I recommend building shredders first over sparks. Lock on time is a drag, you can't lock on stealthers without radar.

At some point, a year or five from now, you'll be able to mix up game types. Domination requires faster bots. Tdm requires range or indirect firing bots. These game modes can help finish gold tasks quicker; tasks that require bot kills or range damage favors tdm while beacon tasks may favor either domination or beacon rush. Liberating beacons is easier in domination because the enemy can't drop a bot on your head.

Join a clan. D rank or better. Use the freebie boosters.

As you were saying .....

This is all too typical of my games since I hit M3. 5 Champions on each side, and one M1 rounding out the reds. Except the red champions knew how to play, and the blue champions were morons. We never had more than 2 beacons. They had Ravanas and phantoms running all over the place grabbing blue beacons and keeping us from turning any reds, all of them looked to have multiple last stands. And of course Quantum Radar. Oh, and 1-shot melting every one of my bots any time I came out of cover, even the Loki.



This is SO much fun. Somebody tell me again how you’re supposed to find enjoyment in this?

Good plan for your Fujin ... they’re getting increasingly squishy up close and personal with all the latest magical weapons out there. Level those molots up a bit, and you can aggravate the hell out of energy shield bots. Remember, even though the shot pattern spreads out with distance, those energy shields are a bubble that’s much wider than the bot itself, so they catch a lot more damage from your kinetic weapons from a distance than an unshielded bot would. You can even tear them up if they’re behind cover. You might not be racking up much damage, but you’ll definitely soften them up for attentive teammates. 

Gekko works best in bunches with other gekkos and long-range energy weapons. Those builds are extremely annoying on the bigger maps like Canyon and Springfield, and even Yam to a degree. Four on a Patton, or three on a Leo with a Flux or Trebuchet can be a real pain. ‘Back in the day’, those things, as well as 4 Trebuchets on a Butch, were particularly troublesome and the bane of everyone’s existence on the big open maps. But I digest... Main point here is, one gekko by itself just isn’t very effective. While it is definitely a good idea to have one energy weapon bot, one gekko wouldn’t be my first choice.

Another option for dealing with energy shields is shotguns on something fast, preferably something with dash ability, so you can zip inside their shield bubble, unload a clip, and zip back out. Just something to consider for future builds. 

And I do understand being limited by resources in what you can do — I had to frankenbot my new Nightingale because I don’t have a pair of good medium anythings to put on it at the moment (I need another atomizer bad). I also have only one bot at level 9 and the rest 8 or lower because I don’t have the silver to upgrade them (mostly because I just don’t play much these days). So you make do with what you have, but still try to stick with the general rule of thumb to keep weapon ranges and types as similar as possible on each bot. 


Edit: Oh yes, a clan could be very helpful, especially if you play a lot. Good teammates will help you win more and farm more resources, and you can probably get some good advice on builds and tactics from more experienced players. And don’t be afraid to quit a clan if you end up in one you don’t particularly like for whatever reason — some are very strict in playing and hangar requirements, but most are pretty easy going. Just be warned that there are some nut jobs and big egos out there that can seriously take some of the fun out of it. It could be a bit of trial-and-error until you find one that fits you best. 

I do see a problem with this suggestion. johnnystoner1257 probably isn't a very high level with not very op guns and bots. The problem with this is people that DO have op bots  and weapons always get the gold. If the other people always get the gold, then johnnystoner1257 won't get any. This means they won't have enough gold to get the 5th slot for many years. I think the best bet in this situation is to join a clan with nice and generous people, ask them for help with getting gold or something like that, and if they give you almost enough gold, keep the gold and keep trying to grind.

Huh. I din't know they took away this feature. I always assumed it was a lvl 30 thing and I han't unlocked it. Also I havent had a clan for a month.
