I know a lot of you are bored and disappointed with the rewards received from the Superchest and many just don't worry about getting a SC each month. I get it. It's been a while since I've actually won something I didn't already have from the SC. This post is for those starry-eyed players who only have a few of the items in the current SC or those who have yet to open a SC. I figure since I've gotten at least one SC every month for the past 2 years, I wanted to share what I have learned which will guarantee 1 SC each month and 2 if I really try. May is just around the corner, so let's get started.
1. Use Boosters All The Time:
Key Boosters are a given-more keys
All other Boosters, except Ag Boosters, will keep you in battle longer and allow you to do more damage-more keys
*Booster usage: only use the Booster for the time you intend to play (don't waste them). Don't use the 1hr Booster if you're only playing for 45min. If you can play for an hour, use the 1hr Key Booster instead of two 30min because the 1hr gives you 200% Boost while the 30min only gives 150% Boost. if you bot out before the end of the match, leave and start a new one. The more battles you can fit under the Boosters being used, the better your return. If your Boosters have 1min or more left, try to get another match*
2. Play at least 1hr a day. I play on average of 2hrs a day and can reach the SC between 10-16 days, so 1 hour should get you there in 30-31 days.
3. Keys:
Do not spend Keys until PIX gives us a SC Rush because each key spent will be worth 1.5x normal.
* Lately PIX has given us 2 per month; one around the 12th-15th and another near the end of the month*
Keys from Ops: Do not collect the Keys from Ops if the Ops will carry into the next month. It will give you a nice boost towards the SC.
*This month is the first time the Ops will finish just before the end of month, so no worries.
4. Ads:
Some platforms do not have free ads. I'm sorry, but that's just the way your platform works.
Use ALL free ads to open Bronze Chests. A free ad is equal to 15 Keys when opening Bronze Chests.
**Do NOT use ads to speed upgrades, WS, Supply Drops or daily Tasks** (Once you've reached the SC a few times you'll know where you can tweak this rule)
**Learn how to reset your ads. When I can no longer use free ads to open Bronze Chests, I delete and reinstall my game. Others have discussed how they reset their device's clock (I'm not tech savvy so I'll not try to explain). Others have discussed resetting their ad preferences (I don't understand that one either). This is probably the most important skill so you can get unlimited free Bronze Chests**
Resetting ads:
from milty72 :
To reset ads on Android.
Settings>Apps>War Robots>Storage>Clear Data>(Warning Note) OK. Restart game> destrier hangar loads wait for the game play load saved hangar. OK.
You may also need to reset Google Ads occasionally. Settings>Google>Ads>reset.
from Pulse Hadron :
It’s really not difficult to reset ads on iOS. When your favorite ad button disappears...
1. With War Robots running swipe to or open Settings
2. Go to Date & Time, uncheck ‘Set Automatically’, and click the day 1 day ahead
3. Swipe back to War Robots and wait for the Game Center banner to show then toggle the screen until your favorite ad button reappears.
4. Swipe to Settings and recheck ‘Set Automatically’
5. Swipe back to War Robots and wait a bit, like maybe 10 seconds
6. Quit War Robots.
Now you can launch War Robots, play ads to the limit, and repeat this process. Here’s a 40s demonstration video showing the Supply Drop ads being reset. All told with the relaunch it takes about a minute.
A couple caveats: 1) occasionally you’ll get the Game Center sign-in dialog appearing. Just hit Cancel and carry on. It might keep showing when you launch War Robots but usually goes away on its own. If not you can fix it by switching Game Center accounts or sign out then back in in Game Center. 2) The behavior where ads may be unavailable for 30 seconds after playing an ad can manifest here too. So when you switch back and toggle the screen to see the ad button reappear it may take 30 seconds.
5. Clan Tasks:
If you are in a clan, you may have a task for 30 Keys every day. You can change up to 2 tasks for free , so you may be lucky enough to get a second 30 Key task.
6. Game play:
Your ranking at the end of a match will get you more Keys depending on where you place
*damage dealt, beacons captured and durability repaired give you the greatest return for matches. If you place in the top 3 of these, you are more likely to place in the top 3 overall and be rewarded with more Keys*
*I play only BR, so I can't speak for other modes*
Have at least 2 bots that are fast and can capture Beacons. 3 Beacons is a bare minimum.
Run a Healer. Durability Repair is probably the easiest Honor to obtain.
Don't be afraid to duke it out. Most of my teammates concentrate on dmg, so this is the most difficult for me to come in first.
*I go all out from the beginning, so I sometimes bot out with a lot of time to spare, but many times I still come in first*
7. Stop using your Key Boosters as soon as you get to the SC. Save them for the next month. (unless you want to try for 2) *I don't recommend this unless you already have a huge stash of Key Boosters.
*I believe it takes 8500 Keys or the equivalent to open a SC. By the time I've accumulated 3500 Keys, I've opened enough Bronze Chests to allow me to open the SC.*
**I am currently in M2 so my Honor rewards may be different than yours**
I think this covers everything. If anyone has anything to add, or knowledge on resetting ads, please comment below and I will paste it into my post (giving due credit, because I'm sure I've forgotten something)
Good Luck All!
***Update 25 June 2022***
Since April, I have pulled multiple SCs by continued use of Key Boosters. I don’t know if PIX has increased the drop rate of Keys or what. I’ve been getting 2 SCs a month since January then I continued using Key boosters throughout the month and since April I have gotten 3 SCs in April, 4 in May and 3 in June. Since I have scant chance of running out of Boosters, I’ve continued their use. I have started using the 1hr Key Booster for an hour of play and then a 30min Booster for another half hour of play in order to get the extra 50% boost. So I haven’t played any more than 90 minutes a day (just enough to complete the event tasks). So if you’re still trying for the SC, good luck and I look forward to seeing your SC booty.
