Hey all, good morning to you. Im switching over from war commander. Got to be a full time job just to stay caught up. So far this one doesnt seem quite as bad as far as being a pay to play type.
I just started playing war robots two days ago. I'm level 20 and have 4 bots in my hanger. I realize that upgrading the bots and their weapons is probably much more important then the actual bot at my level. But are there any specific bots or weapons I should be trying to get and upgrade at my level? I hate wasting time and resources on unnecessary stuff.
Also, how does one become a member of a clan? I have sent requests to join many clans but none seem to accept.
Thanks for the help and info. Looking forward to seeing you all on the battlefield!

welcome to War Robots!
The game is very fun and can be very addicting. As you advance they will push you to spend using any means they can so dont worry about anything but having fun.
If you try to chase the carrot and run with the big dogs it will be very expensive to get there than every few months many hundreds more to stay.
There is a section in the forum you can post that you are looking to join a clan but many will want you to have some more experience beforehand.
(I have played over 5 years and in the higher leagues.) Trust me you are in the fun zone don't rush to advance it will happen sooner than you like anyway is my advice.
Good luck and happy hunting.

captainj86 Hi! Welcome to the forum. War Robots may not necessarily be pay to play but it IS pay to win. IF YOU START SPENDING PUT YOURSELF ON A MONITORED/CONTROLLED BUDGET. You have been warned. You could spend $1000 a month on this game and it wouldn't be enough. Especially for a newb. Replace your Destrier ASAP with another Vityaz or something. To keep things cheap, don't take any one bot or weapon past level 9. We call that 1.9 here on the forum. Leveling stuff past 1.9 gets expensive quite quickly. You could potentially look into all lead-hose weapons. Cheap to buy/upgrade and not useless in higher leagues. Punisher/Punisher-T/Avenger. Continue to ask us questions, we'll help you out.

Also save your gold for opening all 5 hangar slots before spending it on anything else. And don’t focus on your win rate, the game keeps you hovering around 50% no matter what you do. Instead focus on getting beacons and damage. More damage = more silver = more upgrades. This forum has tons of useful info. Good luck!

X 1000 about the 5th hangar slot. many would be happy for a 50% win rate nowadays!

Your hanger tells me this is your first week playing. Get rid of the destrier and vityaz.
So this game is play to win or grind heavy but grinders will never be at the same level. Level 1-6 is easy to upgrade so you can swap bots and weapons. 7,8,9 take effort and is exponential harder. 10,11,12 feels impossible and it will take a forever to get here and many never make it.
This game is so old, it is impossible to list all the good bots for you. Try to find the wiki for war robots. It’s loosely connected to this forum just google it. I do not think there is a link here to there. Anything release after the dash bots I think is ok for you. Look at the date the bot was released. Each year closer to present is another jump in power level. If you want the newest, then get anything released after the Ravana or hawk.
I’ve been playing since the beginning and I am in champ and I do not have any bots newer than hawk. It’s hard to stay up to date and still upgrading bots from 2 3 years ago.

Hmm sounds like another death trap like war commander. I'm in the very top tier in that game and just tired of trying to keep up. It is literally a full time job to keep up unless you spend a TON of money. I suppose basically all games are this way now.
Thanks for the info everyone. I dont intend to fall into another bottomless pit so I doubt I will pursue it any further.
Happy hunting.

This won't earn you as much silver but it will keep you from being pushed into higher leagues. And you'll not be at the top of scoreboard but folks that know anything about the game will respect what you're doing. And stealing and capping beacons is definitely a fun aspect of the game.

I dont intend to fall into another bottomless pit so I doubt I will pursue it any further. Happy hunting. The pay to win aspect has gotten worst each generation. The power gap is soo wide, amount whales and dolphins need to spend keep going up, and user base is currently in a death spiral. free players need to grind more, everything costs ads you need to watch 30s ads to get gold, to speed upgrades, and tasks. You really cannot get anywhere wo watching ads. And I spent a ton of gold on chips and now half my chips are unused because they decide to nerf it and change things around. That’s 40000 to 50000 gold and I can reasonably get 200 per day. the only reason why I stay is because I have tried other games and same thing. This game I am at the top and in a good S clan, so I do not want to start over.

Get a Griffin. They're so much fun and they'll serve you well into Masters. They're also good training for component bots; Raven, Inquisitor and Spectre. Since you're new, I'm not going to recommend anything beyond that. When you unlock the WS, we can talk more.

Just in case you haven’t deleted the app already, yes…one can spend a fortune on any dumb mobile game, but if you work for a solid hangar, and do not upgrade too high, just stay lower league like I do…I’m in Expert 2/3 and that’s that. There are a lot of fun in game lower, it is hell high leagues. Hope you stick around and play some, just spend wisely. I buy Power Cells, the 6,000 for 3 bucks, little stuff like that. If you want to splurge, get a Fenrir and Hawk, pretty strong bots against the top dogs and fun stuff! For now, read here and ask before getting new bots. Most of us have been there, done that! Oh…..in War Robots, you can’t play enough to keep up in Champs or LL, you must spend thousands….so, forget stupid league, and find that fun zone!

Welcome to the game.
Pixonic is like a girlfriend who always wants to hang out with wealthy friends. I have found that VIP is worth it for the first few months, after you get a handle on the game. Makes earning and leveling gear simple, less drag time.
Definitely consider joining the test server. Let’s you test out most of the bots and weapons. Finding your play style is important.
Personally find that two griffins, later two Ravens, Can be very helpful to hold your own, earn silver and cap beacons. Leo’s are great brawling tanks.
Level weapons to 1.9 (level 9, mark one) first, Next leave bots to 1.9 to get the speed bonus, Last stand modules are expensive but one of the best investments.
Get that fifth slot ASAP. Have fun. Glad to have you aboard.
