l》THE MACHINE《lWelcome to the fun! It's not a perfect game... but so far I am plenty content with it. Can you edit the title of your thread and add either "MA -" or "Mech Arena -" to it, please sir? And also any future threads? It keeps the confusion down for those who have no interest in MA.... Cheers!

This game may not be perfect, but after the hellhole that was war robots I am finding this to be rather refreshing... a little bit dull in the way of choices but that isn't something that can kill the fun of it. |

While that is definitely true about the lack of choices vs War Robots... when you take in to account how little non-META gets love in War Robots, and how prohibitive experimentation has become, I don't really miss the dozens of mechs and weapons in my War Robots account. Also, in my experience, as you progress and unlock and upgrade things, the variety does get better... hybrid setups are good in this game, so you have more than just one weapon setup that will actually work. |

Yeah, I do like hybrid setups working. For instance a thermal lance with a plasma cannon is a brutal setup. Give them the burning effect so they take extra damage and then dig into them with the cannon |

Give them the burning effect so they take extra damage and then dig into them with the cannon First off, welcome! Second, don't get too enamoured with the Plasma Cannon! It's when when trying to hit a fast bot, or even one that is strafing, to see most if not all your shots miss! Of the Thermal Lance family, only the TL6 is worth upgrading, and even then, don't bother until you have decent platforms to run it on, or a decent weapon to pair it with. For example, TL6/PC8 is a decent combo, or TL6 with SB12 - but only on a mech that can take a beating. |

Yeah, welcome to Mech Arena, l》THE MACHINE《l . Do look to the Redfiend guides here in this sub-forum for the basics. I do recommend looking at the upgrade costs spreadsheet so you can have an idea what to expect credit and A-coin cost wise when upgrading. Credits come slowly in this game and appear to be the most restrictive element for upgrades. |

I got the kill 7 mechs with Plasma Cannon this morning. So, I jumped into a Tournament game and slapped my PL6's on my Jugg and got it done in one game. It wasn't hard, but it reminded me why I didn't like this weapon. The projectiles are so slow that hitting anything is hard, and there's such a small clip that just when you start scoring decent hits, you run out of ammo. TL6 isn't bad. I just ranked mine to R4 and I'm looking forward to trying it out. It's a different kind of mindset when playing and is more geared to those group brawl instances. If you have decent human players on your team, they will see the flame icon and add their fire to your target. I have mine paired with the SB12 on my Panther, and this combo works really well in the group brawl situations, both in Tournament and CPC. It's not great taking on healthy tanks 1:1 though. |
