MA - I screwed up

Yeah, true, but I like symetry!

Also, too is the fact that the Ares is a better sniper platform than the Guardian, and with MR8, the Guardian fulfills its role of tank killer very well. I think I'll just have to suck it up and re-earn my stuff again.

The problem is, the Carbine 8 is like 8k A-coins...and the Cheetah is almost half that. Will I be able to resist getting the Cheetah? 

I hear you on symetry! The devs should consider they have players with ocd too!  i plan to ultimately run one railgun and one LA8 on my panther, so ok with LA10 as part of that evolution

Good, I’m glad to know I’m not the only OCD one around here.

If you could please, put 3 rofl emojis.  Thinks like this should really come in 3s.



Thank you.  If you'll excuse me, I have to no disinfect my keyboard again since I touched it.

Just remember, if you want to spend nothing more than the occasional pocket change to supplement grinding, the $5 weekly deal for the Prodigy Crate and 500 coins is the best cheap purchase.
The 24k creds and 240 blueprints add up to coins spent afterall.

Expect Shadow to come out to the same price Cheetah is posted for. If it's rank up cost is anything like Lancer, it's 2500 coins to go from R3 to 4, and probably over 3k to go from 4 to 5.

The rate at which upgrade costs hike up is why I'm taking the slow road. After I get ~everything~ to 3.7, I won't have to spend coins on anything but all of the rank ups.

By the time I get the coins for the rank ups, I probably won't need blueprints or credits for quite some time. When everything hits 4.7, that's when I can spend the time cranking out high level tournament for Carbines and Railgun, because that's the threshold where I can actually use those weapons flexibly. It's a marathon grind, I like having different sets of shoes ??




Carbine 10 and 12 are the same as the Stasis Beams and Long arm 10, you only get one until they're ranked to 6.
There's no real rush to the endgame, and weapon sets are limited until the absolute end game.
The way I see it, after Rank 4, where bots officially pass the majority threshold of the health they're going to have, rank ups are a priority on bots depending on what weapons you can actually stick on them.

Oddly enough, it's because the rank up costs are tied to their power score.

The total power of a slot is just the sum of a bot and it's weapon's power scores, right?

Here's the fun fact about hangar power that I only realized recently: EVERY setup has the same power score at equal levels(give or take one or two points) if equipped to it's maximum energy limit. If all of your bots and weapons are at the same level, your hangar power is the same regardless of it's composition, as long as you're using all available energy on all of your equipped bots

If Hangar power is factored by MM at all, it would use the *maximum* power you would be able to use, not what's currently equipped.

With light bots, their low weapon capacity means their Chassis makeup more of their power score than medium or heavy bots.

Because their Chassis is more of their power score, they cost more A-coins to upgrade.

My guess is that cost difference is relative to the cost differences in ranking up weapons. Spend more on fastboi, but the weapon rank-ups are cheaper. Spend less on walking gun mounts because the rank up costs for the guns mounted cost more than their weaker output counterparts.

Has the AI started 5 capping you and beating you with an influence gap of 60 points yet? If not, they will, and you'll see the importance of speed.

Remember, end game Light bot firepower is equal to your recent set of rank 3 tanks/killshot.

It evens out. The game will throw the occasional hardball at you, but once it measures you up the difficulty flattens out. It doesn't get easier though ??
The hard cap tends to be 80% winrate.
I'm at 1166/1704, if I win more than 5 or 6 in a row, a wall of Pulse 8/Carbine killshots and snipers will definitively sweep me a few times by 4 capping in the first 2 minutes, then breaking out missile rack/Stasis+Lance Tanks for wave 2 to make sure the influence bar runs away.

See previous comment ??
Can't hope for better than 80% win rate. And...you guys have higher power hangars than I do ?

I concur to be prepared for some nail-biting down to the wire matches when squading with Dead Eye, also may lose your first bot in the first few seconds lol

Screenshot the power screen and your profile and report it on the bug report channel of the official discord. 2300+ for a 14-1500 point hangar is an anomaly if it's all that shows up. Check your w/l rate as well.
I fought those hangars for the better part of 3 weeks. The AI "normalized" and started to match my hangar except for when I break the 80% win rate, or get matched against a player with significantly lower amount of games played.
