How do you grind for your silver?

  I run Tyr and Noodles so I get !st or 2nd in healing almost every match.  I try to get 1st in Beacons, but sometimes I get 3rd or 4th.  My Au pile hasn't been growing very quickly as of late since I haven't been opening chests with ads very often.  I guess playing squads is another good Ag boost.

  Really?  I figured if we stacked our Boosters, the overall Honor would be greater.

It depends on how fast you are finishing your games in solo/duo games. At best you may get a 2 mil ag game, but if that game takes the full 10 mins, squad games that last 3 mins that nets you 600k ag — that’s 1.8 mil for 9 mins. Squad games are more consistent and faster imo.

At those levels, it’s best to wait for discount weekends.

Before I get to those levels I’ve already mapped my stuff out. There would be a weapon or so I’m leveling along with it and try to time as best I could to where they are ready at those expensive levels for the discount weekends.

If the discount weekends doesn’t come like the one we’ve been waiting for recently, I don’t go forward with the upgrades, unless I have a good amount of silver.

Sounds like a plan

If you can make 11 mil a day, you make up for most of it too. That’s another way I look at things whether I will continue with an upgrade or not.

  I did that for a while.  Now I have no lower level upgrades to do. (at least nothing I would be using in my hangar) I can switch around most of my weapons already.

Left my hawk at level9, I might upgrade it later. For now id rather prioritize thing I enjoy running - currently mk2ng my tarans/magnums for my raven, and cryo weapons for my striders after that. Might level up a thermite after that ?

1) Don’t use ads on speeding up the upgrades.
2) Don’t buy VIP unless you are playing for an hour+ every day.
3) If you have them damage boosters, etc. are useful
4) Honor boosters are the bomb, especially when combined with an Ag booster. (I buy the pack of boosters which has 5 x Honor boosters once every 3 months or so. I use them to ensure I re-qualify for Champions league).
5) Don’t use your workshop except for needed items. Workshopping a new robot in particular is very Ag intensive.
6) Spend time upgrading low level equipment. The Ag/hour is very reasonable up to 1.7, after that the curve takes on exponential growth. This can give you some breathing space to save Ag.
7) The operation pass will net a very handy stash of Ag, amongst other goodies.
8) Running a healbot will almost guarantee a top 3 for healing. Remember to take beacons. Running 2 x Nightingales in your hanger should just about guarantee getting too place for healing and top 3 for beacons.
9) Focus in the team W, not grinding for silver. The 400 or so honor points for getting the W is more than the incremental gain you get for being selfish.

  So what you're saying is you only grind on the dance floor

  It's a great answer.  The question was "How do YOU grind for YOUR silver" and you answered it honestly and succinctly.   A lot of people read it as "I need silver.  How can I accumulate it the quickest?"  I guess I should've made a poll. (I know how forumites LOVE polls)

Simple answer is I just don’t speed upgrades, either with Au or ads. I also only selectively upgrade bots over 9-10 or weapons over 11-12. That limits the biggest upgrade costs. If Ag gets low then I upgrade some lower level gear I want to try which buys me some time - got a second pair of wasps cooking right now after the buff.

When grinding for silver :
I play in 1/2 hour increments
I use what ever 30 minute boosters are available
If I mech out, I leave the battle right away and start a new match.
If the match ends I don’t look at everyone’s stats
I only increase the rewards when offered if its over 250000
After 30 minutes of play I farm the bronze chest using adds and what ever keys earned.
I do not speed upgrades while grinding for silver as that takes the silver out of my pile much faster then it can be replenished.
If I happen to complete an Operation, I might buy the pass for the silver and a few extra goodies.
Any comps I get from the special delivery crates that I don’t want I sell them for silver.

Run duo squad, but no more than two. Three man teams ofc put you up versus full squads. Duo will get you a lot of wins. I struggle with silver too because I do full squads 90% of the time I play. Silver comes in at a trickle. And if i'm in a pinch to level something (like quarkers right now), I get on , reject squad requests, and run solo or duo during North America server daytime hours.

And I hate to say it but you almost have to run premium. The difference in silver earned is ridiculous. I know there's people out there that are hardcore F2P, but if there is one thing to give in a little on, it's premium. I usually catch the special they run for 45 days for 14.99. Money well spent if you like playing the game and want bang for your buck.

on android, delete app data to reset the daily quota of 3 free ads you can watch for silver in the crates (in champion league, this gives you 1.5 mil silver). farm ads w/ skirmish.

other (less ethical) tips for getting honor/boosting silver:

1) steal your teammates kills (but don't throw away a bot or positioning to do so). One trick is to use your own bot to block your teammates' weapons fire. Another is to wait until the last possible moment to Arthur fart.

2) if the game is decided already:
a) shoot leeches that are leeched onto your teammates (especially if they're S rank clan players)
b) prevent your teammates from being able to get back into cover (especially if they're S rank clan players)
c) anything else you can think of to increase your own honor/standings at the expense of others

3) if you're 100% certain you can kill a red who's about to take a beacon (and you won't get killed from elsewhere), let him turn it white, then get on the beacon and kill him, take it back.
