For starters, press and hold the war robots icon on your home screen for three seconds. When you let go a little x should appear in the top left corner of the icon. Click that x.
After that you should be good.

Not much has changed. Mag Geps still rule the battlefield. Lances are everywhere also.
Trident Furys are hell. Watch the splash damage from those bad boys.
Read up the forum. The most hated bots are the ones you want to steer away from.

If you hated dash bots enough to pack the game in, you might just be better off saving time and swerving War Robots entirely.

If your prepeared to spend some money and engage in dispicable practises such as league management you can do OK. Spend and be a gentlman and play fairly then can still do OK. If your free to play and play properly then I would not bother with the game as you will get frustrated very quickly. You will climb through the leagues very quickly. This would be OK if you are match with simular level players but reality is you will come across very high level players from gold upwards. I come across players with 10000+ cups in diamond league! (they are not nice people?) If you do spend a little then premium is worth considering and so long as you can complete it then operrations (when your leveled high enough) is good 'value' compared to other costs. Some may disagree but a t falcon (pilot skill traditionlist) can be very good especially if equipped with a nucleon. Only one bot and weopon to upgrade and when up grounded high enough can still manage right into champion league. I would only open 2 or 3 hanger slots at the most to start with as will slow your league progression a little and only a few bots to focus on.

Just look at Legends League to see what are the meta bots. If you are willing to pay a bit then you can acquire quite a bit of resources/ weapons/ bot by purchasing the Operation Pass. I do agree that if it was the into of dash bots that made you quit the game then you better hang it up now. Sooooooooo many abilities now! I have been playing 6 years now and have learned to just go with the flow. Good luck!

I would like your advice on which 2 bots should I buy next snd weapons please If you have a morbid curiosity then you should play to see what the game is like now and to further validate your reasoning for leaving when the dash bots came out. After those bots the game went off the deep end and with power creep. We have flying stealth bots with two heavy weapons (there are lots of powerful heavy brawler weapons now) that have a built in anto flamethrower weapon. These bots can just fly by a Leo and take the HP to zero in a second or two. That power creep is that bad now.

After that you should be good. I just saw this... kinetic is just trying to get back into War Robots. Telling him to delete the app would be disheartening to anybody, right? I think a warmer welcome is in order, yes?

I left the game when the dashbots were introduced, so am totally lost on what is meta now. I am currently level 7 and have only bought The garret. I would like your advice on which 2 bots should I buy next snd weapons please Falcon is definitely the fastest way to get a near-Meta build: 1) Get Falcob 2) Get Pilot. 3) Spin Random or pay 1000 Au for Traditionalist skill. Turns Falcon into the Tankiest Bot in the game. 4) Watch for Cormac de Vos (Legendary Pilot for Falcon). Focus your Au spending on promoting to level 50. 5) Upgrade Falcon to Max level. 6) Upgrade ONLY the middle weapon...you won't be using the others. Even a Thunder is effective until you get a Glory, Viper, Redeemer, or Nucleon. TITAN: Save your Platinum until you have experience fighting the various Titans. You should be able to score your choice of Titan through the 1000-token Event chests. Buying and maxing a single Plated Armor Module is worthwhile as you can transfer it to your final choice of Titan. Costs about 1200 Pt. Kid, Arthur, Ao Ming, and Nodens are all useful, and each has a unique playstyle, so choose carefully. Most importantly...Have Fun Out There!

I have Since switched to android so unless the game has become cross platform I am starting over from scratch. I left the game when the dashbots were introduced, so am totally lost on what is meta now. I am currently level 7 and have only bought The garret. I would like your advice on which 2 bots should I buy next snd weapons please Sounds Ike you quit the game around the same time I did the first time. I only lasted about 9 months though before I lost all sense of logic and reason and installed it again. Then quit and reinstalled from scratch again. And again. And maybe again. This last smurf account, which I’ve been running for about a year (I think, I can’t remember for sure), I decided to stick with 2 hangar slots as long as I possibly could. And just to be silly, I Mk2’d a Cossack with a freedom igniter I won in some event. Since you last played, among their many other foibles, Pix has made it nearly impossible to ‘manage’ your league progression, now forcing you up the leagues much faster and incrementally reducing the penalty for losing/playing like a leper, making it way too easy to move up and become cannon fodder for Champion leaguers and way too hard to drop down. But the 2-slot hangar had many benefits. First, it taught me to get the most out of the bots I had. Kamikaze runs were reserved for the obviously hopeless matches. Which brings me to the second benefit: the really crappy games were over very quickly. And third, having just a few bots to worry about, I was able to bring them up to playable level pretty quickly. But, I also threw new bots into action at pretty low levels, too, so I could tell early if I liked the bots mechanics or not before dumping resources into it. So ... my way of ‘managing’ my progression was to keep my hangar as small as possible. Two bots, until it became ridiculously impossible to play the game, then three slots took my into Master 3, where again the time just felt right to give myself the benefit of a 4th slot. Along the way I managed to acquire a fair collection of newer bots (Fenrir, Loki, Rayker, Leech, Ravana, Ao Jun, Nightingale, and my favorite Tyr, along with the usual assortment of legacy bots. Other than the Cossie, only the Tyr is lvl 9, snd everything else is lvl 8. Somehow, however, I became desperately light on weapons - I barely have enough to outfit the 4 bots I run regularly, so if/when I obtain a new bot, it’s a major shuffling exercise outfitting it with reasonably matching weapons. I’m still sitting squarely in the middle of arguably the worst league in the game - Master 3 - for about 6 weeks now. Most games are horrible, as the MM is worse now than ever, but a few are still fun. And I have enough of an assortment of bots to swap them out occasionally to keep things fresh. Other than that, I’d strongly recommend playing Skirmish games when they come up. There’s usually one or more newer bot/weapon combos in the hangar, and it gives you a good real-world scenario to test drive them. I would rely on that more than the opinions of other players on what loadouts you should invest in, because you get to play them and see for yourself what works best for you. But stay the hell away from Arena - it’s the crappy free-for-all mode, and it costs 100 Au a pop to play. If there were a way to permanently remove it from my game modes, I would. Oh, and welcome back.

Bots: Ravana is meta. For now. But get a healing bot like Tyr, Mender, Weyland or Nightingale, for extra honor points. I use Weyland a lot as it's tough and has two heavy weapons. In pilot skills I use Mechanic to self heal, Armor expert for toughness.
Or you can go for a beacon capping bot. Phantom is popular as it can teleport away from bad situation s. Loki is invulnerable in its ability mode but can't shoot. Fun capper. Nightingale is often used for capping beacons.
I like Fenrir as my main tank. Just add health/armor mods and skills.
Also there is a Jump module so any bot can now jump. :-D

Also would put strider in that list of bacon cappers, works with whatever weapons you put on it (great for starters due to them not having workshop yet and not always wanting to build an entire set of weapons right away).

I would like your advice on which 2 bots should I buy next snd weapons please Main bots I would look into: strider, fenrir and a healing bot, especially nightingale because it is amazing already and weyland because it is getting buffed plus it is already strong. I also want to give you some advice, ignore the meta. Chasing the meta just gets you frustrated and will make the game feel more like a chore than fun. You just gotta grab bots and build you like and let them take you to whatever league you end up at. Trust me, the game is awesome when played like that, but when you play meta it usually makes you want to quit.

Welll just to clarify, I left around the time the dash bits were introduced, even though they made every bot everyone has obsolete that was not the main reason. There was the Mark II thing introduced, then the game became a pay to win no doubt, whole bunch if crap hit yhe fan back then, this was the Boycott Pixonic era,?remember?
Back to topic, from what you all said it sounds like a dump truck of crap has hit the fan after I left and it does not sound encouraging. At the low lvl I am at it feels like the good old days, but as you say it wil become a nightmare eventually. I managed to recover my old IOS account last night, and even the hangar is dificult to understand now, it appears that my good old Rhino and wild west bots and the British knight bots are no longer viable. So I may continue from scratch on Android just to see what hapoy, but chances are if it has gotten worst I wont be around for long. Thank you all for the information.

So I may continue from scratch on Android just to see what hapoy, but chances are if it has gotten worst I wont be around for long. Thank you all for the information. I started way back, pre-dash and it has been more of the same. Although, I think the Dash bots followed by Shocktrain era was more painful than present times. Dashes were $300 for enough components for a full bot on the initial daily offers. Titans are the current Dash bots to give you somewhat of a comparison. Except you can get a Titan now on daily offers for relatively cheap if you keep an eye out. The issue is platinum to level it. If you are pure free2play then I'd just work on a low level hangar of standard bots like Leo, Lance, Fury, maybe a Strider. Cap it 3 or 4 hangar slots and level 6 bots, level 7 or 8 weapons. See if you enjoy it still. If you're willing to spend $5 here, maybe $10 there, then you can pick up some pretty solid but a bit outdated bots in the daily offers. I've seen decent stuff for $4.99 even $1.99 that can compete in Gold - Diamond league if it was leveled. I say this all the time, but a good reference is watching Adrian's 'baby account' videos. He started a new account roughly a year ago and he walks through what works welll with pretty good detail. Here's one of his early baby account videos:

Wild West Bots are pretty much extinct, but the BritBots still have potential. Gareth and Galahad can take on any Energy-based Meta Bots if you have the skills. Lancelot with the Ghost skill trades Rush for a permanent speed boost, which brings it back. Skilled players have shown that Rhino, Carnage, Raijin, and even Rogatka can compete in the hands of the right Pilot. Not at Legend League level, but well into Champs.

Yeah you hardly see a Wild West bot but they are fun. Spiral Jesse and Molot-Tee-Doc are good fun effective builds in Masters when MM works properly.
