Got a thread for the other game, may as well have one for this one. Chatter it up in here, keep the ID thread nice and clean.
Maybe a nice mod will even sticky it!

First up: just squadded with Koalabear . First game absolutely rocked, second we got trounced. We were 1/2 koala on top) both games, though. Sorry I got rocketed early in that second one, so I lost ya before we could make any real noise. But damn when we were paired up, we kicked some bootie. Looking forward to teaming with you again any time, brother. Side note: I have GOT to get my Killshot leveled up to handle Javelin 6’s. |

It's like a whole new mech now, so much more powerful. I don't think I need to rank it up even more cause there's no Jav 8 in the game. |

Most bots are in the 25k health range at rank 3, 30k at rank 4, and top out between 45 and 60k near maxed. Brickhouse(rank 5) has over 80K health, and probably maxes out close to 100K. Killshot's Dash damage also scales with level/rank. The maxed out ones deal about 26k damage with their charge alone. |

jesus that looks different, wow i guess my time off War Robots has been longer than i thought Mech Arena: Robot Showdown If it's not available from the play store/IOS, the APK can be found on the developers site iirc, just no microtransactions. First game to fill that War Robots hole, and if you got here through "recent threads" there's a whole subforum now  |

Ran into and then with our very own mechtout yesterday. I am lazy and can't be bothered to transfer the screenshots from my phone rn, but he won our confrontation in the tournament. Man, I really need to get my Killshot ready for those Jav6s! lol |

Man, I really need to get my Killshot ready for those Jav6s! lol Jav 6s do kick 「bum-bum」 on that bot... but... MR 6 is more fun! I have had some bad games with that build at first, but now, being able to reposition so quickly and just hammer folks with corner shooting single missile packs at a time... satisfying as Hell.
But yeah, 12 power is when the bot "blossoms". |

GG's Deadeye and Kell. @kellhound : Always dash across that first area on that first map we played. Not doing so leaves you open to getting Sniped. Deadeye : You rocked that last game. I got my salad tossed trying to take back our home beacon ?   |

There's room for you guys underneath next time. lol |

Deadeye: Once you know which maps pose the risk of insta-death from two steps out of spawn, the start of match bot choices open up. Then you can do fun stuff like steal center with Killshot on the ice map while home beacons are still being capped, decimating half a team in the desert map within the first minute with a well timed panther Fence/guardian flash, and take the very tiny window of oppurtunity on the Hokkaido(Purple city) map to knock off a scout before they can even get to one of their corner beacons ?

I don't like feeling inadequate like that. lol That's the point of the panther wall, you can hit them, but they can't hit you ? I'm a shmuck and run Pulse cannons on mine, because I like popping the shield right up in the enemy's grill. Good long arm practices are learning the angles so you're already aimed at where bots are likely to be when you make line of sight. Timing and pre-aiming angles> trying to track moving targets. |

I got fairly good at using them, but haven't leveled them at all because I'm not sure I see myself using them endgame. I also started getting smoked by the AI that I wasn't dueling with. I can anticipate the actions of the 1 AI an adapt, but 2 both gunning for me is a no-go. I enjoy the my MR8 panther and my PuC8 guardian very well now. I can't see myself going back long range until the railgun option becomes available. |

Long arms are definitely viable long term, but not easily used to duel AI if you're not behind your wall, admittedly. I use them more on Paragon to take fast, squishy mechs out, and soften up fatbois so friendlies don't get overwhelmed. Javelins(and Mortars, if you're gonna go there) are the best things to use to get rid of snipers. Enemy Panther snipers don't move much unless their entire team is pushing, and guardian snipers are generally too slow to duck into cover effeciently.
Enemy Paragon snipers are my hated enemies though, they move around a lot, and do the same thing I do where they'll happily charge into enemies, despite having snipers on, when the bot's reached the limit of it's usefulness.

S1E1, thanks for the help! I needed to heal 2 teammates at the same time — I think I spent half of one game just healing other mechs! Good games, even though I mostly got pretty soundly thumped.

Yeah, we all followed you around for that task, it was pretty funny. Our team only had 1 out of 4 beacons but man did we capture that one beacon, lol. Had some good matches after that though. My hangar is still only in the 500 range but happy to team up anytime! PS - to tag me you gotta write pilotepisode after the @ symbol. |

Nice job kicking my butt there BAMtATeRToTz, and in tournament no less! Although now, looking at the scores I think I'm going to pin the blame on my team, lol. Yeesh, none of them could break 20 points. Still you were romping through us really nicely, gg!  |

Thanks for the invite Danny Linguini. I was at work checking in and only felt comfortable playing a quick one. Unfortunately, I had my tourney hanger in. Good game though! We were both guarding home, but it looked like our team must have been obliterated early. There weren't many left after only a couple minutes. |

But we stuck to the plan. Not much you can do when you’re that badly outgunned. Luckily I didn’t have many of those today. Win or lose, it’s always good to squad with a fellow forumite who knows what they’re doing. |

S1E1 , BAMtATeRToTz, mechtout , great game! Sorry I had to cut out so quick - dinner bell was ringing. Redfiend - sorry bro, that was embarrassing this morning. I just couldn’t get anything going. Maybe next time. Definitely some really good players on this forum I look forward to teaming with again!
