[surreal mist]

swoop is very good

[teal wigeon]

yeah both are very good for OP

[surreal mist]

prolly rook

would be a better choice to replace

maybe

[dark sun]

Who is swoop

[surreal mist]

seriously

you forgot

after telling me to use him

sus

[teal wigeon]

he trolling

[surreal mist]

true

i forgot thats what he does

[surreal mist]

shush

[dark sun]

[surreal mist]

trolling

[dark sun]

i don't know you

https://tenor.com/view/controlmypc-cat-screaming-discord-gif-20582295

[surreal mist]

i guess i should leak your score next time

[dark sun]

What you talking about man what score

[surreal mist]

sure

[stable depot]

I like to post @gilded nacelle ‘s score daily. 5 points is a lot!

[dark sun]

What da hail how can he do 5 points

5 points too much

[stable depot]

I know… he’s a master of the game so 🤷‍♂️

[dark sun]

😮

[gilded nacelle]

I needed help to get that too

[spice monolith]

Is this good for me because I did this much with my 7 raids

[gilded nacelle]

I would say that is absolutely incredible you did that much with 7 raids

[spice monolith]

Thx

[coral turtle]

What are good things to use your shainx on?

[remote root]

zen or spark

[teal wigeon]

not spark

[teal wigeon]

Zen for slots and Build bots

and if you have all slots and build bots then omega supreme grapple

[remote root]

Combat spark

[coral turtle]

I already got all the build bots

[fallen pebble]

Spark definitely

[coral turtle]

Slots?

[fallen pebble]

Spark is hard to come by

[teal wigeon]

research slots

[fallen pebble]

Research slots

[teal wigeon]

for your higher levels yes

[coral turtle]

You can buy research slots?

[remote root]

yes

[teal wigeon]

yes for a max of 3

[fallen pebble]

Yea at hq9-10 I believe

[teal wigeon]

3 not 2

[fallen pebble]

Ye 3 slots total

[coral turtle]

I have 1.5 million spark.

[teal wigeon]

i just got my third one today

[fallen pebble]

1 sa11 costs 1mil

[teal wigeon]

i recently dipped below 500k, give it time

[coral turtle]

Oh that’s why there’s so many spark things in events

[fallen pebble]

Yeah it’s hard to come by at higher levels

[coral turtle]

Just Z Energen, because I just unlocked elimination mode yesterday, and only played one time

[teal wigeon]

yeah i dont play that either

im tired of re-arranging my last squad

[fallen pebble]

I will have to soon lol

[teal wigeon]

it gets annoying

everytime i set an elimination squad, it becomes the last squad i have

rather just use shanix to buy it

[coral turtle]

Is there nothing else good to buy with it?

[fallen pebble]

Shanix is not worth buying anything other than zen and spark

[coral turtle]

What about the five star bot

[fallen pebble]

Until you have a lot of max things

Not worth

He currently isn’t good as well

[coral turtle]

I don’t get it only by the Z and spark when you have a lot of things or watt

[fallen pebble]

Zen and spark are the hardest resources to grind

[coral turtle]

Power cores?

[fallen pebble]

Easy to grind

[coral turtle]

How about the giant four-star thingy for a mega

[fallen pebble]

That’s a grind but thats not a resource

[coral turtle]

I have all five build bots I have 3700. Shainx and is HQ 12

[coral turtle]

When should you like start grinding for it?

[fallen pebble]

Work on research slots with zen

[coral turtle]

Or if it’s worth it at all

[fallen pebble]

Hq15-16

[coral turtle]

I don’t know what you mean

[fallen pebble]

Depending on how many 5* u have

Go to your lab

[coral turtle]

Ok

And?

[fallen pebble]

Where it says upgrade it should have upgrade research slot

It’s 100k zen

[coral turtle]

? if the building is upgrading right now.

But it didn’t cost any Z Energen

Also, do I buy some Z Energen

[teal wigeon]

with shanix yes

save em up

[coral turtle]

I have 3700

[coral turtle]

3.7k

[teal wigeon]

well look at how much it takes to buy energon z

and how much you need

[fallen pebble]

1.5k for 100k

[remote root]

p sure it's 200k zen for the 1st slot

[split saffron]

Go for Zen all the way, trust me once you hit HQ17+ your build bots will stay empty just because you don't have enough Zen

[grim plinth]

then it goes to 1mil... the escalation is mad

[coral turtle]

None of my buildings right now requires Z energon

[coral turtle]

Ok

[coral turtle]

Bruh that is a lot of grinding and a lot of shanix

[grim plinth]

I took out all my shanix for it

[split saffron]

Look at this nonsense

Luckily I knew it and got a couple mils of Zen myself

But this is just scratching the tip of the iceberg

[coral turtle]

Oh my goodness what HQ are you

[split saffron]

17

[teal wigeon]

breh

[split saffron]

EVERYTHING takes Zen

[teal wigeon]

im gonna be dealing with that at HQ 17?

thats dumb

[split saffron]

And a lot of it

[coral turtle]

One of those upgrades is more Z energon on that I have

And what’s a shield generator?

[coral turtle]

Have you spent anything on the game?

[split saffron]

I have. I buy Cyber Passes and rarely when I really want a bot I buy a bundle or two

But I am no longer spending on bot bundles

And I just bought the 10 dollar bundle for titan xp that gave me 1 month worth of xp and thats a big deal Imo. Though if you'll spend just buy a pass

And maybe maybe something like this that helps a lot later down the line

[coral turtle]

. Do you need to spend to get like HQ 17?

Or how much longer would it take if you don’t

[split saffron]

You don't. So long as you're in a good alliance that does 500k+ per event you'll be good. Having all 3 research slots also helps

[coral turtle]

My alliance only goes in 350,000 💀

[coral turtle]

It that bad?

[split saffron]

You lose like a lot of rewards

Especially if you don't do hardest raids

[coral turtle]

I don’t know which one we did

[split saffron]

2k, 4k or 6k Shanix?

[split saffron]

Well, regardless difference is huge

[coral turtle]

2k

[coral turtle]

Well, there’s pretty good people I talk to in that alliance I don’t want to leave Rosso I do because I will be more rewards and there’s another problem like 100% of the people in the discord do not have the same time zone as me and 75% has Asian time zones what’s like the morning it is the afternoon for them and the afternoon is the night with them.

[split saffron]

Idk any in Asian timezones. There are tons of alliances and alliance families from all regions. Its all totally up to you. I personally wanted rewards and great people and got both from my alliance family. I like to say that getting the job done is one thing and hanging out is a different thing so oh well.

[coral turtle]

Well, without hanging out, then I have less motivation to do my school work and play and it gets a little bit more boring but on the other hand could get another liens but I don’t know if it’s going to be like hanging out and job done

[coral turtle]

And Asian time zones. It’s 9 PM for me right now it would in India 6:30 AM

[coral turtle]

I go to sleep at 10 that means at 7:30 AM their time I sleep, then most people wake up in India around 7 o’clock fore school

[coral turtle]

What is your alliance family?

[stable depot]

https://tenor.com/view/help-help-kenan-thompson-saturday-night-live-help-help-me-gif-23508421

[split saffron]

PPX family. Maybe you've seen some of their numerous guides on reddit

[coral turtle]

Nope

[split saffron]

They are quite helpful and detailed. Oh well, if you want a peek I can inv you to Discord to see how it is there. They are Discord based as it is easier to communicate

[coral turtle]

Mmm I really don’t know it’s a hard choice

[coral turtle]

Mmm ok

[split saffron]

Check private messages

[timid compass]

Man I'm only HQ 13 but I still don't get how you guys are low on it

I have 2 mil

[nimble coral]

🙃

you know, upgrading ability to lvl 10 takes 750k

lvl 11 takes 1m

[timid compass]

Damnnn

Mb

Didn't know

[nimble coral]

yeah

lol

[fallen pebble]

I had 3mil at hq14 at hq15 I had less than 1mil

[grim plinth]

when you start upgrading abilities you will be rock bottom broke

ever since i got to hq 16 and started upgrading bots an SAs… i have never reached above 600k more than 6 times

[split saffron]

I was also on 4m (capped) then I started upgrading abilities properly. Lets just say I spent couple more millions since then and now trying to get 350k more so I can put my Warpath to SA10 then 11 with a ticket

[teal wigeon]

literally me right now, im just at 500k spark

starting to appreciate it more and more

[remote root]

lol i have 1.6 mil spark as an hq12

[thorn vale]

W or L

[gaunt wolf]

Major W

[thorn vale]

Should i use him or 3* pipes

[gaunt wolf]

Depends imo
Both have their uses, Pipes is focused on Acid while BW Ironhide focuses on Glass Gas

So your preference

Not to mention he can form a 4* Magnaboss, which is the beat attack Combiner in the game

[thorn vale]

Ok, i think im gonna use bw ironhide bcs I don't have strong Fire bot

[bleak oxide]

wait what

[bleak oxide]

is 4* starscream worth investing into?

[hard coyote]

Yup

[bleak oxide]

is galvatronus worth investing into

[hard coyote]

Yes

But not ultra magnus

[split saffron]

Why do you think so? His damage seems very nice

[teal wigeon]

very W

[fallen pebble]

If he could hit with it

[grim plinth]

…to hit a target two countries over

[split saffron]

Mine is only 3 star lvl 30 so I haven't played him in any hard content, but he kinda does hit. His 3 missiles hit exactly what you select. Only thing I'd say is that his 21 small missiles are equivalent of Galvatron's AOE and they are too spread out compared to Galvatron's hence why they do little. Other than that, he seems really solid.

[grim plinth]

I love Vortex/Dustup but I wont go far enough to defend UM

[grim plinth]

the 3 missles dont do enough to be “meta”…. Honestly, Galvatron isnt that good high up, making UM not that good

cause his SA is worse

[distant marsh]

Who do I put nexus on

[livid solar]

Guys, what would you recommend for 4* Cybertron Jetfire?

[split saffron]

This isn't mine, but looks extremely solid. Far from Prime league, but definetly doesn't look like he deserves the hate he's getting. It feels more like people are just repeating after others

[split saffron]

Enhanced Ordanance and gun combat

[gilded nacelle]

On paper, yes

But in practice ultra magnus's ability seems inconsistent

I've had instances where his ability hits every molecule around a target except for the target itself

[gaunt wolf]

Isn't Galvatron's more consistent than UM, despite being his counter?

[gilded nacelle]

Yes. My 4* galvy seems to be more consistent

[grim plinth]

society in a nutshell

i will die fighting for Vortex

[fallen pebble]

It’s a garuentee hit

[grim plinth]

Galvatron just has AOE added to his attack…. UM has AOE as the attack 😂😂

[split saffron]

I guess I'll have to build up mine despite being a 3 star and see for myself because so far he indeed does hit what I target from the what I tried. But I see how Galvatron is better.

[hard coyote]

Honestly I don't have any personal experience of using him but people say he has some animation problem which do not let him deal full damage

[wheat hull]

Second five star

Any core and combat bot recommendations?

[remote root]

EO or Chrome Jetfire for core and Pinpointer for COMBAT bot

combat bot I am not sure on, just kinda spitballing a first idea here

[coral turtle]

Hey, I just got this four-star is it a good bot or med or bad ? and I also don’t really understand his ability.

[nimble coral]

very good bot

[coral turtle]

Should I use them in any of my teams?

[nimble coral]

yes

replace mirage with him

[coral turtle]

Oh rod is supposed to be there

[fallen pebble]

Any guns work pretty much

[nimble coral]

hot rod?

[coral turtle]

No the prime

[nimble coral]

so...

[coral turtle]

Oh my goodness there’s so many primes

[nimble coral]

i said mirage lol

[coral turtle]

Rodiums

[nimble coral]

lol

[coral turtle]

I don’t know how to spell

[nimble coral]

alright then, replace cyber jet

[coral turtle]

Explain to me, slingshots ability, and why he’s useful?

[glacial siren]

Acid Bots are a big part of the Meta Game, being able to stop Micronus and Healing Buildbots are a massive deal.

[nimble coral]

actually he got full use when you face healing cores

but

you can use him to combo fire

optimal will work

acid increases fire damage by 20%

[coral turtle]

Not really, when most bases a fight don’t have that

I

[coral turtle]

Every single acid projectile?

[glacial siren]

Just because you don’t fight those bases yet does not make him obsolete.
He pairs well with Rust Dust, Optimal, Sunstreaker, etc.

[nimble coral]

yep

[coral turtle]

Should I do the brawn strategy with mirage or just replace one of the box for the slingshot

[grim plinth]

super good! He will be useful later in the game

[teal wigeon]

be luck they didnt bring in Sentinel

[coral turtle]

Which zones in particular

[grim plinth]

pretty much all zones. the combo with fire/acid does some raw damage.... zone 14+ and wars is really where he has demon status

[coral turtle]

Ah ok i wil find a way to put in my team tomorrow

[timid compass]

First 4 star medic, any good?

[grim plinth]

best in the game. level her high

[timid compass]

K, thx

[bleak oxide]

W or L?
and if W which core and combot to use?

[grim plinth]

w

Bido would be combat and G1 core

[bleak oxide]

👍

[shy sequoia]

combat bot for Blaster?

[gilded nacelle]

If on defense a companion

If on offense a melee combat

[shy sequoia]

offense

[gilded nacelle]

Then a melee combat

[thorn vale]

W or L

[gilded nacelle]

Meh

[split saffron]

Inbetween. He's okay, it's just there are better bots like Twin Twist who kinda do same thing he does.

[heady marsh]

Can someone make me a team of 7?

[grim plinth]

Ironhide, Lop, Fireflight, BW Bolt (use Enhanced Ordinance core), Smokey, Opt Pr and Minerva

I have not looked over the Roadbuster buffs yet, he could be good to add

[fallen pebble]

What’s roadbuster counter?

[grim plinth]

Halfshell

[fallen pebble]

Ah

[eternal schooner]

Any core and combat recommendations for Cosmos

[split saffron]

Cosmos is good on defense until late game so for defense combat would be companion like Sidetrack or Big Daddy. As for the core, probably Rejuvenation.

For attacking he is kinda niche. Decent in raids and there use something like Reflective Coating core. Combat either gun or companion.

[eternal schooner]

Thanks

[coral turtle]

In the place of Maroge I don’t know it’s either rod or mirage I need help. If on this team, I should use the. Brawn strategy, or. combine slingshot into this team? or make a team three with it

[split saffron]

If you got Slingshot at 4* then I'd replace Mirage with him and combo Slingshot with Optimal Optimus.

[coral turtle]

Ok yes, he is 4

[split saffron]

Then you have your answer

[coral turtle]

What’s a good equipment on him and optimal Optimus? I think I need to revamp some of my equipment on my bots

[split saffron]

On Optimal use his Golden Disk core. I recently tried using Alchemist on him and it works extremely well too. For the combat, I personally use Sawtooth as got that one at 5* also helps me lifesteal more with Alchemist. Though without that, Golden Disk core and both companion or melee combat can work.

For Slingshot, EO all the way and gun combat. Pinpointer gives healing so I like to use that one on such jets.

[outer furnace]

anyone have a good base layout for a lvl 14 HQ
my current layout doesn't work well after leveling up

[coral turtle]

That’s literally all the things I thought about for optimal Optimus and I have alchemist

[split saffron]

Congrats then

[coral turtle]

Should I use alchemist or golden disk?

[split saffron]

I am really liking Alchemist so I would suggest that

[coral turtle]

Mmm actually is there any other bots that might be better with alchemist?

[split saffron]

No. Besides, Optimal Optimus is crazy strong now. Haven't you checked?

[coral turtle]

No …

But ok

I was maybe wondering if cheetor was a better fit because optimal Optimus has golden disc

[split saffron]

Cheetor also has his TM core. Besides, try Optimal Optimus without cores and you will then see why am I suggesting Alchemist

Try him in base trials, against alliance friend base, pvp, whatever. You'll see

[coral turtle]

Ok thank you oh, and also, could you help me with something else? Who do you put the attack core on and whether or not to switch Optimus prime because some people say to others not

Gme

[split saffron]

There are few both that benefit from attack cores like Bumblebee and Snapdragon.

For Optimus, I feel like him giving 40% dmg reduction to whole squad is really really big. Also people like to repeat what they heard without trying things for themselves so keep that in mind.

[coral turtle]

He doesn’t shield them…?

How doed he shield I don’t see that

[split saffron]

SA11

[coral turtle]

Well, I do not have that

Definitely not

Maybe a warrior in his place would be good

[split saffron]

If you don't like him then use Jumpstream instead, very nice tank

[grim plinth]

Opt Op is a demon right now. Great bot to have @coral turtle

nerf is probably in the way

[gaunt wolf]

Bro literally went from not even thought about to amazing thanks to an ability rework

[grim plinth]

fr

[teal wigeon]

i remember people crapping on him

as the 2nd worst of the primes

[split saffron]

Yeah people tend to just repeat what they hear instead of trying. Before the buffs he was nice for dealing with outpost bots, though his ability had accuracy issues. Now, ability is crazy strong.

[teal wigeon]

to be fair, i had him before the buff and his ability was near useless if not for the ice passive but yeah now he is great

[split saffron]

It was definetly useful for me, had decent success with clustered defenses myself.

[teal wigeon]

when it hits yes

other times he would just hit one target and not even freeze anyone

[split saffron]

Can't relate

[grim plinth]

what? never happened to me

[teal wigeon]

happened to me twice but only twice

[coral turtle]

Oh my God, I just realized that I also have rod that I don’t know where to put any more the prime and also skydive

[coral turtle]

Kind of even because Optimus is good with not all bases because you can’t really rally with the walls and something else

[teal wigeon]

Hot Rod?

[coral turtle]

Rodi

[teal wigeon]

then say Rodimus

[grim plinth]

Rodimus Prime

[teal wigeon]

Rodimus is great tho

cant lie

[grim plinth]

or Roadimus Prime 😂

[coral turtle]

Honestly, that’s what I say, but not what comes to mind

[grim plinth]

I say it cause 1. The Japanese dub says it and I think its hilarious and 2. I want to get in a habit of saying that to tick off G1ners

[coral turtle]

So mirage is supposed to be replaced with slingshot, but I should probably put rod somewhere in there or jump stream four-star Optimus prime too so it’s really hard to choose and then the box they are going to be in team three but I don’t know yet

[coral turtle]

Ah ok

[split saffron]

Hot Rod is a nice bot, but you kinda need to have a combo for him, which bot you want to protect etc

[coral turtle]

HOT ROD?

[split saffron]

Yeah

You said Rod

[coral turtle]

I MEANT THE STUPID ROdimus

[split saffron]

Why didn't you said Rodimus then?

[coral turtle]

Dont asi

[split saffron]

Its like saying Optimus yet have 4 Optimus bots :p

[coral turtle]

Idk and the cheooter is kind of still inclusive this is my team one

[grim plinth]

Optimal Optimus: Opt Op, Optimus Primal: Primal, Laser Optimus Prime: Lop and Optimus Prime: Optimus is the vernacular I use for them 😂

[teal wigeon]

thats exactly what i said

[split saffron]

If you like him, go ahead

[coral turtle]

What do I do with our rodimus

And skydive And jump stream

In my team to or switch it 14 one, I don’t even know

Or just make the team three out of it I don’t know

[timid compass]

Should I put kunai on my 3* wheel jack or 4* Minerva?

[split saffron]

Mate, Rodimus works best in a melee oriented team. Rodimus, a tank, few melee bots, perhaps one gunner or jet and a healer. For example, Rodimus works well with Cheetor

[split saffron]

Minerva works better with Rung generally

[timid compass]

K

Thx

[coral turtle]

Ok mmm

[coral turtle]

Yeah, I still don’t know what to do

[gilded nacelle]

Okay

[split saffron]

Not like we haven't advised you, but sure, take your time and think of strategies between your robots. It is a strategy game after all.

[coral turtle]

Ik the thinking is kind of mind-boggling because there is so many things to replace to do but not to do and then the things I don’t know like hotspot is it better than jump stream? Rodimus has good health so we could replace Optimus but then Optimus is pretty good has good health to and his ability but rod prime ability is also good, but then I think with that I have to put in cheetor don’t really know which ones not to put in to which or not because teams three I don’t even know my teams three yet correctly I haven’t fully did it yet and I don’t know which bots are good for that or not and it’s a lot more

[split saffron]

I mean, few of us kinda did suggest you which bots to use in which team, but you didn't like any of our proposals so I am afraid that we might not be able to help you further. If that is the case it is always good idea to play the bots yourself and see what works best together.

[coral turtle]

That’s fine end I have the worst memory you did?

Oh yeah

[grim plinth]

you will get the hang of making combos and pairing bots

[coral turtle]

I don’t think so…

It will take a long time at least

Why does the slingshot do 4.2 fire damage??

Is this bad?

[split saffron]

Because he is a lot lower level compared to others?

[teal wigeon]

bruh

[coral turtle]

4.2 fire damage really? over 15 seconds

That’s just doesn’t make sense

Even if he’s a low level

I mean, I don’t think level three of Sa is that low but

[split saffron]

Bruh just upgrade him...

[nimble coral]

that's bug

known one

[grim plinth]

he is meant to be a combo bot. He isnt supposed to do damage

yet SA nerfed him cause he did “too much damage” too

[coral turtle]

It was just a bug is it just a visual bag or a real bug and it actually does 4.2 damage.

[gilded nacelle]

It's almost as if there are multiple different strategies and players can try different things and see what fits their play style

[nimble coral]

Agreed

indeed there are some best bots

but people have different playstyle

and bots setup matters

the team with exactly the same bots and tsrarating doesn't mean they have the same power

the cores and combats are different

skill as well

so...

[hard coyote]

Optimus is really good. His stats are good plus his sa is very good and change the course of the battle

[coral turtle]

30% of the time optimus rally is just neglected, and the bots don’t care

[hard coyote]

🧐🧐 I've never saw a single case about that

[teal wigeon]

isnt that a bug?

[teal wigeon]

happens to me sometimes but tbh i dont even use optimus to rally anymore, he does have a bunch of health tho

[hard coyote]

Sure when you are deploying,then in some cases it won't work

[hard coyote]

One thing is that sometimes when outpost bots distract them

[timid compass]

Is vector prime a good core?

[gilded nacelle]

Depending on your strategy and your timing, yes

[eternal schooner]

What core and combat should be on her

[split saffron]

EO and gun combat

[coral turtle]

New combiner

[timid compass]

Is 4* warpath any good?

[grim plinth]

very. level him high

SA 11 and G1 core makes him better. but you should only get 5 stars to SA 11 unless the bot is that good

[split saffron]

And from what I've seen, Warpath is just that good. Not mine, but looking at this comparison 4* is totally worth it

[grim plinth]

mhm. My alliance commander loves Path/Skully.....

[split saffron]

Many do, he is just too good

Leveling whole bases

[timid compass]

K, thx

[finite elk]

I have my best fleet consisting of all my 4 star bots + 2 star optimus, i have 5 fleets in total and i dont know what to do with all the excess bots or if i even have the best team set yet. Send help

[grim plinth]

put them in dispatch missions

[finite elk]

The fact that you cant tell which bots are in a team and which isnt makes this much more difficult to organize

[grim plinth]

select the scanner to get into the menu of the missions

[finite elk]

So that means i replace my team with the starter level bots

[grim plinth]

use all of your constructed teams then look at them through the the team tab. the time limits will let you see which are in a team and which are not

[grim plinth]

the bots that are not on any teams go into dispatch missions

[finite elk]

Ok

[coral turtle]

I just got this new four-star is he good?

[split saffron]

Decent, but needs Amalgamous to really work well. And problem with that is there are better choices for Amalgamous :/

[coral turtle]

Is he worth it? Tho

[split saffron]

Without that, give him Rejuvenate and Pteraxadon

He is okay, but I suggest you try him and see for yourself

[jolly shell]

This could be a fun squad. 5 gunners with gatorface. Healers keep em alive. Shockwave makes everyone fast

[spring gate]

Anyone know any good options for the onyx prime core?

[gilded nacelle]

Yes

[spring gate]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-notes-noted-gif-26232003

[gilded nacelle]

The core boots damage from regular attacks. Therefore a bot with high dps will get a lot of value from the core

[spring gate]

mmmm

[gilded nacelle]

Alternatively, some players use onyx on rush warriors with high health.

[spring gate]

I see

Would Slug work? My highest dps is running Alchemist at the moment so

[split saffron]

I use mine on on BW Ironhide. Reason behind it is that he has a really nice amount of attack for a rush warrior, also applies glass gas. Not to mention he is a tank, gets damage reduction and heals fully. Also, once he drops under 40% Onyx activates and when you heal up fully you still have Oynx active. Also, living bot does more damage than the dead one.

[spring gate]

Ah right

He exists

Yeah i'll power level him up and slap it on him then

Sounds like it'll work pretty damn well

[grim plinth]

worth getting to lvl 30

[coral turtle]

How much is a cool down for level 50 bot?

[plain mulch]

I believe it is 50 minutes, if I remember correctly.

[wheat hull]

is five star jetfire worth taking to sa 11

[solid kayak]

yes

[gilded nacelle]

Is @solid kayak worth taking to ability 11?

[solid kayak]

Obviously

[charred swift]

For anyone who has vector prime core what bot has seen insanely good use from it?

[dark sun]

A sac bot

[split saffron]

It can also work for defense bots like Chromia who don't have any specific cores

[charred swift]

I mean specific cases

Like someone who has a neat Vector prime build to take inspiration from

[dark sun]

You can try him on db as he don't have any specific core

[charred swift]

Db is who again?

[gilded nacelle]

You got your answer. Vector works very well with sac bots and isn't (in your words) insanely better on one sac bot vs another

You could also try it on elita, kup or windblade but again, it's not insanely better on one of those than the others

[charred swift]

I’ve asked in other servers for my alliance and friends and I’ve gotten fun builds that people liked with Vector so no I haven’t “gotten” my answer here

But it’s fine I have what I wanted now

[dark sun]

Divebomb i suggested him as he doesn't has any specific core

[charred swift]

Genuinely surprised that he hasn’t gotten one yet

Or Rampage or headstrong

[dark sun]

Any of them don't have a specific core :/ @charred swift

[charred swift]

It’s funny that besides razorclaw the only predacon who has a unique core is Tantrum

Which arguably is the worst predacon because as a warrior he’s just not as tanky after the HP buff to most rush warriors

[teal wigeon]

@static meteor wrong place to ask for help, try here

[teal wigeon]

@static meteor no need to friend me

just post your question here

[static meteor]

Ok

How to upgrade an autobot

Pls

[coral turtle]

How am I supposed to win all the battles in a war but in my alliance I can only win about two of them

[drifting palm]

join an alliance in a lower league or git gud.

alternatively, find a different Cyber Quest to complete.

[teal wigeon]

use your research lab

[heady marsh]

Ironhide, Lop, Fireflight, BW Bolt (use Enhanced Ordinance core), Smokey, Opt Pr and Minerva

I just got a 3* sludge and 4* Hound who do I replace them with.

[static meteor]

I were is it

Pls can someone help

[heady marsh]

U are a low hq lvl

[heady marsh]

Rush hq lvls

Always

[grim plinth]

It’s gonna look something like this boss

[teal wigeon]

play some more and upgrade your buildings

then it might appear

[static meteor]

Okay thanks

[fallen pebble]

Who should I use for my 4 op bots?

[plain mulch]

Coelagon, Dinobot/Brake-Neck, Tarantulas (if you have his transmetal core, if not then scourge), Armada Megs

[fallen pebble]

Is triggerhappy good on defense

[grim plinth]

The ones I’ve seen didn’t do jack

[fallen pebble]

Do yk bigjoe? He has trigger on defense I believe

[grim plinth]

Huh. Didn’t know he did that

Very interesting

[jolly shell]

Def coelagon

[fallen pebble]

He has it in the backside of all defenses and it’ll get the hit off on them

[jolly shell]

Possibly scourge but I typically mow him down with brake neck

I like ripper on d

Dino is a pain

[fallen pebble]

I had ripper for awhile

Fangtron on Dino is funny

[jolly shell]

But tarry is on d for me right now and he is a menace

[fallen pebble]

I have scourge, trigger, tarantulas, and coelagon rn

[jolly shell]

Tarry says, "yeah but what if you just stood right there and did nothing"

[fallen pebble]

Scourge is great

[split saffron]

Tried him. Ability does insane damage, but kinda useless afterwards. Also gets wasted if opponent rushes in with a tank like Pipes so...

[wheat hull]

Out of my four and five stars who should I place in my outposts

[split saffron]

Star Saber, Blaster, Blades, Gnaw.

Smokescreen is great too, but needs to be quite a lot higher lvl

[wheat hull]

Ok thank you

[teal wigeon]

Rook is good too

[hard coyote]

Saber,rook blaster

[tight pasture]

Hi just got a team mate who’s full account has just been reset and he’s been playing for over 3 years, what’s the options here. Thanks

[split saffron]

Was he transferring to a different phone?

[eternal schooner]

Is setting the combiner ability for defence to do with how the combiner reacts when a combiner beacon is activated?

[gilded nacelle]

This is very convoluted phrasing but I think I get what you're trying to ask

The combiner's defensive ability is used when the beacon is activated

[eternal schooner]

Great, thanks
This was a question from an alliance member and as no one has a combiner beacon yet we were guessing that's what happened
Cheers 🍻

[heady marsh]

4* Hound and 3* sludge good?

[teal wigeon]

Not terrible but decent

[heady marsh]

should I use hound

in main team then

[teal wigeon]

always use your 4 stars

except nosecone he sucks

[heady marsh]

4*

smoke

[teal wigeon]

but yeah use him

[heady marsh]

or hound

[teal wigeon]

both

[heady marsh]

1 sec

my 4*

just got hound

[teal wigeon]

yeah forget nosecone and dustup

and optimus primal

everyone else is good

roadbuster is decent too even

man i wish i had that BW silverbolt

[nimble coral]

dustup isn't a trash at least until z14, and especially if you haven't got a lot of 4s bots, even if you have got a lot, you could use him in dispatch

optimus primal is decent

not decent i mean

he's just not terrible

can be good when you use it right

[teal wigeon]

dustup is a girl 💀

[teal wigeon]

he really isnt, he jumps in and dies

thats it

[nimble coral]

i knew lol, i just forgot

[teal wigeon]

but even then everyone else they have is just much better to focus on

[nimble coral]

😏 he works for me until z14

tbh i like primal more than roadbuster

or maybe they're just equal

at level 50 ish

[teal wigeon]

roadbuster is really only good for when there are shields but even then the shields dont last that long

so thats fair

but like every other prime is much better than him

[nimble coral]

yeah

[heady marsh]

Roadbuster situational

[heady marsh]

Just got 4* cliffjumper he gud?

[teal wigeon]

Erm not so much unless paired with someone else

To be honest his glass effect is better from sides wipe, bw ironhide and hound vamp even

[heady marsh]

@teal wigeon ^

[teal wigeon]

Give it time bro

[lethal merlin]

Your team looks good for now you can change it when you get more 4* bots

[heady marsh]

Bet

[eternal schooner]

Good combat bot for him

[split saffron]

Nightstick

[gilded nacelle]

He does well with most gun combats

[brazen nebula]

anyone here have a good set up for 5* rhinox?

[hard coyote]

Transmetal core

Leonizer

That's what I use

[balmy nest]

Any tips for this secondary team

[teal wigeon]

lionizer is for star saber

[split saffron]

Victory Leo works million times better on Star Saber though

[teal wigeon]

oh i got those mixed up

too many lions

i have mine on blaster

my Lionizer

[last acorn]

What's good combat bot for broadside and snapdragon

[split saffron]

Casette bots for Broadside and Fireline for Snapdragon

[last acorn]

Thanks

What about grimlock?

[split saffron]

Dazzlestrike or Lionizer

Though Grimlock is very... meh

[last acorn]

Hm

What dinobots are good

[grim plinth]

Sludge, Swoop and the fire rush one. Grim and the Dinobot with “Fire Frenzy” are the bad ones

“Bad”

[last acorn]

Thx

[split saffron]

Slug, Slash, Swoop and Sludge are good. Grimlock just kinda dies and Snarl is mid and needs Amalgamous Prime to be good. Which doesn't help because there are better choices for Amalgamous

[gaunt wolf]

Welp, guess Snarl is getting replaced on my B team 😔

[split saffron]

If he works for you then keep him. Don't always blindy listen to people. Besides, mid isn't bad. Just there are better bots who do the same thing.

[balmy nest]

What should i make my main team?

I have 6 spaces btw

[split saffron]

Sea Clamp, Scavenger, Runabout, Knockout, Soundwave, Flatline

[hard coyote]

I use victory on saber

[teal wigeon]

yeah i forgot it was supposed to be him

[hard coyote]

It's ok

[balmy nest]

Ty, what about secondary?

[teal wigeon]

@split saffron onyx, try plat or attack on pipes

i dont have megatronus

[split saffron]

Onyx worked very well for me until I got Megatronus. Pipes can abuse Onyx and that's pretty good

[teal wigeon]

bet

[teal wigeon]

do you have nexus?

[balmy nest]

What core and combat bot should i use for runabout

[grim plinth]

Rejuvinate and a companion

[split saffron]

No and hopefully its the last one I pull lol

[teal wigeon]

lmao cuz i do and its just sitting there

that was the FIRST one i pulled

so hopefully its uphill from here on

praying on megatronus or liege next

[crystal valve]

these setups any good?

[hard coyote]

Last 2 definitely not

[crystal valve]

what do i do then?

or whats the best setups for them?

[hard coyote]

Cores are wrong

Give warpath VM or g1

Smoke g1 if you have or attack

[crystal valve]

but the combat bots are good?

[hard coyote]

I guess yes

[ocean radish]

Use Glitch with Smokescreen if you have

[gray perch]

Would it be a good idea to put onyx prime on divebomb/windblade?

[teal wigeon]

Onyx is good on a rusher

So yeah

[gray perch]

Alr thanks!

[last acorn]

What is the best atubots for outposts?

[hard coyote]

Dinobot, blaster, rook ,slash,saber, elita, chromia, rhinox, laser optimus cheetor,gnaw swoop

[last acorn]

What bot I should equip trip up on?

[split saffron]

Mine is on Tracks, but generally you want it on a bot that benefits from a cassete bot and not a weapon combat

[teal wigeon]

forgot twintwist

[last acorn]

Is sludge a good option?

[hard coyote]

Ya

Sentinus too

[gilded nacelle]

He literally works with any bot you like

[last acorn]

Thanks

[valid gate]

Now that I finally have access to a combiner beacon, I can’t decide on which combiner to place in it. I have every combiner, but only two 4 star ones. Those being Omega Supreme and Optimus Maximus. There any recommended ones to place?

[grim plinth]

put 4* Omega in there

[valid gate]

Omega is worth it? Good to know. Will do. Thanks.

[last acorn]

What combat bot I should give him?

[gilded nacelle]

Well he's an air class bot so a gun combat would give him good damage bonuses

[coral turtle]

Just got this boy is he useful and worth it plus if yes, what is good equipment on him?

[gaunt wolf]

Not good

[coral turtle]

Bruh

[coral turtle]

How about Snarl four-star

[gaunt wolf]

I've heard things on both sides of the aisle for and against him

Imo, he's decent, but others say he isn't the greatest

[glacial siren]

Decent at best, really only good with Amal but there’s better options for that core.

[teal wigeon]

he really only works if you have other tanks to take damage away from him cuz huffer has low health

[grim plinth]

Best build? I won’t be leveling him for a bit

[teal wigeon]

what was his SA?

[glacial siren]

I do EO and a Companion on him (Mostly as there aren’t any available Guns for him).
He CAN be good, if he could work consistently.

[grim plinth]

Ok thanks

[grim plinth]

I believe Brain has “static strike”

[teal wigeon]

ok

[balmy nest]

What should i make my second team?

[remote root]

this a good build for blaster on defense?

[jolly shell]

Sure

[jolly shell]

Scavenger, shockwave, offroad, blitzwing, slipstream, starscream

[eternal schooner]

Hello I logged on one day and I noticed the Music for the game suddenly has gone silent. Everything else other than earth wars works I have tried turning the music on and off, switching music to Earth wars and back to G1 But nothing seems to work. Any ideas on how to fix?

[gaunt wolf]

Alright so, I'm workin on getting my 5* Rotorstorm upgraded. Only problem in my head is....
Do I replace any of these guys on my main team or save him for another team

[fallen pebble]

What’s snapdragons purpose?

Rotor does a lot of sa dmg and it racks up

If anyone I’d replace snap

[gaunt wolf]

Prima user

[fallen pebble]

Hm either snap or Optimus since he’s by far the weakest

Optimus will fall out of your main team anyways

[nimble coral]

put Prima on springer or swoop

but it depends on the combat too

wait

i've just realised it's a 3s prime

do you have other tank?

bcs you need at least 3 tanks

[gaunt wolf]

I currently have a 3* Sidetrack on him atm

Should I swap em out for Flak?

[nimble coral]

btw, do you use this team for war?

[gaunt wolf]

Uhhhhh not that I know of, lemme check

[gaunt wolf]

Yes, I use my top three teams for war.

I'll get screenies of em rq one sec

Not gonna be like this for long given I have 6 4* bots Im preparing to move up, some will go onto these teams

[nimble coral]

hmm..

just test it yourself

but use all your 5s bot

[gaunt wolf]

On main team?

Or just period

[nimble coral]

main team ofc

bcs your 5s bots are good

[gaunt wolf]

Alright, I’ll replace Snapdragon with Rotorstoem and see how it goes

[nimble coral]

yeah

you can move Prima to skids as well

if he doesn't use G1

fyi, maxed gold G1 skids provides more damage increase than maxed gmetal VM

[gaunt wolf]

Huh, alright

Only got silver G1 Skids cores :/

And I can't make a gold one, only have three of the silver Skids cores

[split saffron]

Use core converter. 5 random cores for a gold random. Chances for G1 Skids specifically are low, but you can get surprised

[gaunt wolf]

Alright I'll throw my luck into play in a bit

[split saffron]

Just used for 10 gold cores myself and for 6 G1 cores and 1 TM for Cheetor that I really needed

[bleak oxide]

W or L?

[gilded nacelle]

Well, it's a 4* combiner piece so there's that. Highest base health in the game.

But her ability can be tricky to use. She has a bit of a learning curve

[teal wigeon]

I don't think so

[upbeat marsh]

Hey all. Is fort max worth the extra 10k gold shards? Which is better on offence? Sorry if it’s already been asked and answered.

[nimble coral]

i heard Metro is better, bcs FM damage can be reduced if there's lightning rod core in the base. But FM is stronger in titan vs titan, so you could beat enemy's titan easier

[hard coyote]

Simply if it's metro vs Fm fight,then Fm wins but if it's titan vs base, metro will destroy it faster then Fm

[hard coyote]

I would say it's worth

[eternal schooner]

I got Firedrive on him.

[eternal schooner]

That’s not always the case

[frozen tree]

FM is actually better, because it increases beam damage, such as the point defense beam on an HQ. Also, more bots do beam damage than the damage that Metro increases.

[nimble coral]

Well, FM doesn't increase beam damage, he increases electric damage

[frozen tree]

https://tenor.com/view/willy-wonka-strike-that-reverse-it-thank-you-gif-16289398

You're right. Had the damage types backwards. But the point remains. FM will increase the damage of more bots.

[balmy nest]

Ty

[balmy nest]

What do i make my third team?

6 spaces btw

[grim plinth]

Big W. Insane health and a better Megatron imo

[grim plinth]

Optimus isn’t supposed to attack. He is meant to control pathing and drag your crew through the side of a base

[split saffron]

Also that damage reduction for whole squad ain't no joke

[nimble coral]

Bruh, SA11 for a 4s bot

[undone mason]

What a waste of spark lol

[split saffron]

There are couple 4* totally being worth the SA11, OP and Warpath being nice examples

[balmy nest]

What do i make my third team? 6 slots

[wooden sequoia]

I’d say reflector, half shell, ciacadon,bombshell,motormaster, and bonecrusher

[balmy nest]

K ty

[wooden sequoia]

Soundwave hiss is also really good

[balmy nest]

Who could i replace for him? Just to know

[wooden sequoia]

Half shell probly

Half shell is a good one shot

Soundwave hiss is good for doing damage to multiple

Depends on your preference

[balmy nest]

What layout should i use for hq 10

[teal wigeon]

dw about it

you should worry about a layout at HQ13

[nimble coral]

Pipes and Tracks only imo

[split saffron]

Warpath totally looking worth it Imo

[jolly shell]

I don't think this guy likes warpath

[fallen pebble]

I don’t blame him

[split saffron]

Meanwhile Warpath leveling whole bases lol

[nimble coral]

Well, It's up to you tho

[split saffron]

I totally agree with you on that. Which kinda makes those "waste of spark lol" comments pretty superfluous but okay

[nimble coral]

Yeah, one of my reason is i'm poor on spark, even if I have a ton, I'd prefer to give it to my Pipes

[balmy nest]

Just got 3,4* headstrong, 3* divebomb and tantrum, are they any good?

[split saffron]

Headstrong is one of best in the game so totally worth it. Others, a bit less

And focus on 4* and 5* bots, only use 3* until you get enough of higher stars

[balmy nest]

Which could i replace for headstrong?

[shy sequoia]

headstrong is good

[split saffron]

Put it in a team that needs a good tank

[balmy nest]

Is he any good?

[indigo arrow]

Hi Friends,
Please guide me in upgrading bots,which bots are really good in investing upgrading SA and leveling up.

[grim plinth]

nah the catalog is insane! great collection of bots

[grim plinth]

decent, you have to use him to target defenses when your bots get distracted

kinda like a pathing help but only for defenses

[grim plinth]

Smokey, Dino, Pipes, Op Prime, Opt Opt, Kup, Skids, Twin T, Tracks, Slash, Hide, Blades, Path, Ratchet, Cheetor, Sand, Minerva, Rhinox, Rod Pr are the best of the bunch you should be focusing on

Twin T, Skids, Smoke and Pipes should be prioritized

[grim plinth]

also the transmetal core helps him

[drifting palm]

You get 10k Spark when you get a new 4☆ and 100k Spark when you get one to level 65, so you can raise every 4☆ to SA5 and still have Spark leftover. If you buy the Cyber Pass, just take all your 5☆s to 10 and use the Bot Ability Upgrade items to bring to 11 the ones that go to 11.

[teal wigeon]

did you buy a bundle for all these 4 stars?

[last acorn]

Jesus did you spend some money or something?

[teal wigeon]

def bought a bundle

[last acorn]

My eyes hurts after seeing that many stars lol

[grim plinth]

why are yall saying that? just play the game and you will have plenty by hq 15

[last acorn]

Well to be honest my luck is horrible

[teal wigeon]

im HQ15 and i dont have that much

[drifting palm]

It's because they're all so low level, it looks like you got them all at once.

I only had 24 4☆s when I got to HQ17, but SA was much less generous then.

[teal wigeon]

i had some when i started playing but got more once i came back to TFEW

i have 34 now anyways

[jolly shell]

I have every 4* except for 14 I think

[indigo arrow]

Nope just that before I used to play with 1 or 2 squads rest were ideal.Now getting interest so playing often since last 2 events

[indigo arrow]

Any such bundle exists that gives you these many bots?I am not a millionaire to buy them for sure

[teal wigeon]

how old is your account then?

[indigo arrow]

Last event was lucky I pulled like 6 4* including premium crystals and duplicate shards and previous event i got none all 2 and 3*.

[indigo arrow]

What's this buddy I don't understand can you help me more on this please.

[drifting palm]

Are you confused by the advice on 4☆s, 5☆s, or both?

[indigo arrow]

That 5* and cyber pass is confusing to me

[drifting palm]

Do you know what the Cyber Pass is?

[indigo arrow]

Yes

[drifting palm]

Do you know what the Bot Ability Upgrade Item does?

[indigo arrow]

Nope

Where is that to find

[drifting palm]

It lets you upgrade one Bot's Special Ability one rank for free.

[indigo arrow]

1 rank means 10 to 11 ?

[drifting palm]

or "3 to 4", but "10 to 11" gets you the most bang for your buck.

[indigo arrow]

And we get that if we buy premium cyberpass not free one

[drifting palm]

correct. It's at the 2150 CP level.

[indigo arrow]

Bro 2150CP?

[drifting palm]

You'll get there.

[indigo arrow]

Troop upgrade ability

[drifting palm]

yeah. that's the one.

[indigo arrow]

Okay

[drifting palm]

Eventually, you'll reach the point where you get enough Spark to get your 5☆s to 10. And then you use that on the ones that have ab11 to bring them to ab11.

[indigo arrow]

Thanks buddy

@drifting palm any suggestions on the bots to upgrade

[indigo arrow]

Bro is broadside not good ?

[drifting palm]

shrug Whoever's biggest. 5☆ Smokescreen first, natch.

You got a war team? Upgrade them.

You got a raid team? Upgrade them.

[indigo arrow]

Pretty bad in war and raid only events I can do some 25-30K

[grim plinth]

No. I used him for a while and I came to the conclusion that he doesn’t heal enough. If he heals more he will be insane

[indigo arrow]

@grim plinth how about snapdragon?

[grim plinth]

Never used him. He is pretty strong from what I’ve seen

You’ll have to ask somebody who has used him

I have a friend who isn’t in the server who loves him. I’ll ask him how Snap is when I see him. @indigo arrow

[split saffron]

He solos bases

[glacial siren]

With Snapdragon he can be a bit difficult to use at first but you need to be able to time his SA properly.

[split saffron]

Higher lvl can do higher bases (obviously)

[grim plinth]

Interesting

Bro went from Snapped-dragon to snappingdragon 🤣

[eternal schooner]

who should i continue upgrading

[indigo arrow]

Nice thanks

[grim plinth]

Skully, SG TC, Megs, Pactor, Nem Prime, TC, Octone, Runabout, Bludgeon, Astro and Flatline

Flatline is the best medic in the game. He will be for about 3 months until Junkheap will drop in crystals

[eternal schooner]

Awesome thank you

[gaunt wolf]

So how should I modify these teams withe circled bots?

[balmy nest]

Combat bot for bw megatron? Also should i replace 3* straxus for 4* bw megatron? Straxus is very good for walls so idk

[gilded nacelle]

I use a companion for optimus primal.

Whether you should replace straxus depends on your strategy. They do different things

[balmy nest]

Ill probably wait untill i get another slot

[smoky merlin]

Best bots for raids?

[hard coyote]

Blades and optimus (for prime rush)

[gilded nacelle]

Bots that keep your squad alive. Either by shields or by stunning/hacking defenses. First Aid, Tracks and Blades, for example

[teal wigeon]

cosmos 😎

[dark sun]

Wreck-gar 😆

[balmy nest]

Is knockout good for defense?

[eternal schooner]

I wouldn’t think so, unless I’m wrong

[glacial siren]

No, his Acid SA works well on Offense but not very well on Defense.

[grim plinth]

I have had some success with him on defense funny enough

He is good imo…. Just not as good as the other meta defense bots

[balmy nest]

Which should i use then

[grim plinth]

Tarantulas, A-Megs, Coel and I don’t remember the other one

Growl and Ground Hog are essentials for defense bots

Growl and Ground are combats

[balmy nest]

Ight

[balmy nest]

Mindwipe?

[grim plinth]

No. Definitely not him

Mind can be stunned out the SA

[balmy nest]

Oh ok

Is this good for offense?

[grim plinth]

Also keep this in mind. Mind is so irritating but when you use Thundercracker for example, he is useless @balmy nest

[grim plinth]

He is more of a sac bot…. But at low zones he is strong

[balmy nest]

By the attack i have they Just deploy everything together so scrapper or knockout could work

[balmy nest]

Sac bot?

[grim plinth]

Sacrifice. It is basically throwing a bot and popping outpost you don’t want your team touching

[balmy nest]

K

[grim plinth]

It is not important for you now

So you don’t have to worry

[balmy nest]

How about this one

[grim plinth]

He is good. I love him

[balmy nest]

I think that was my first 4*

Is straxus good?

Mainly to destroy walls

[grim plinth]

Yes. Walls will be very annoying to your pathing in the game…. Early, mid and late game

[eternal schooner]

would 4* soundwave be worth upgrading

[grim plinth]

Yes. Very good bot

Use the SA to pop outposts before the rest of your squad gets to it

[hard coyote]

Yup

[thorn vale]

W or L

[glass bluff]

red alert great for outpost

[gilded nacelle]

Both Ws for different reasons

[glass bluff]

bw prowl probably mid

[gilded nacelle]

BW Prowl is a piece for one of the very best 4* combiners

That alone makes him a W

[glass bluff]

just a part of a combiner, but the SA, not so much

[violet valve]

Which Autobot should I Pair with Elita for outpost defence? I only have 2 bot outposts so far.

[thorn vale]

Any suggestion for core and bot?

[gilded nacelle]

I use onyx and a companion.

[thorn vale]

Ok 👌

[karmic tinsel]

Is 4* hot rod worth levelling up?

Any suggestion for core and bot?

[teal wigeon]

Hot rod is great as a support bot

even better at SA11

great if you pair him with someone like silverbolt or jetfire to drop off sidetracks at the HQ

[karmic tinsel]

Pair sidestracks with hot rod or silverbolt/jetfire?

[teal wigeon]

Silverbolt

Then use hotrod sa on silverbolt

[maiden sphinx]

what roles should I have on every squad

like how many specials, warriors ect

[shut finch]

keep one warrior or tank atleast as I said

they have a ton of health and come in clutch

stun resistant bots also help ( combats)

keep another gunner, jet dependently it's alr

Teams don't really matter for general events and battles, but does in Wars and Raids

you'll need specific bots etc there, in order to emerge victorious

[nimble coral]

Depends

It really depends

[balmy nest]

Can i get a combinet if i only have the 4*s?

[jolly shell]

Yeah

[grim plinth]

You can unlock the 3* but you need the 3 star bots to rank them up iirc

[jolly shell]

I unlocked 3* predaking using a 5* Headstrong 😐

[woeful olive]

So this is my main squad (I'm researching Twin Twist, so I have Scattershot as a stand in for anyone being researched

And these are my current 4 stars

Is there anyone I should switch out in my main squad, or are they solid as they are

[grim plinth]

Ariel for Optimus. You need a tank

And she is better than Optimus imo

[woeful olive]

I'll research her to 31 tomorrow when Silverbolt is done
Anyone else?

[grim plinth]

Looks very good

[woeful olive]

Alright
Also who should I have in my 8th slot whenever I eventually upgrade my shuttle

[grim plinth]

Smokey or a medic

[woeful olive]

Gotcha, thanks

[teal wigeon]

work on that pipes then swap for perceptor

[woeful olive]

Should I keep Twin Twist in my main squad once he's done researching?

[teal wigeon]

TT is good too

wish you had more slots

but pipes with any fire damage bot is a great combo

[woeful olive]

If only I had a 4 star Air Raid (or whoever has the hack bomb) I'd swap Perceptor out for him

[teal wigeon]

Blades

[woeful olive]

Ah gotcha

Is he better than Perceptor

[teal wigeon]

yeah his hack has an AOE

perceptor hacks one at a time

[woeful olive]

I like being able to hack in my main squad but if having Pipes is better than hacking than I'll roll with it

[teal wigeon]

pipes is great

highest health in the game

if you have megatronus, put it on him

[woeful olive]

Got it

I mean I understand
I wish I had Megatronus

[teal wigeon]

same

[woeful olive]

If I had money I would've bought the Blades bundle yesterday to try and get his 4*

[grim plinth]

It’s not worth buying bundles. Honestly, it feels like an even lower chance to get the 3 star of that bot through bundles

[woeful olive]

Yeah, but it is possible
It's how I got my 4 star Slingshot

[teal wigeon]

thats how they get you tbh

only bundle worth buying is that 1 dollar one

thats it imo

[woeful olive]

Fair enough

It's neat to have Slingshot, as terrible as he is

[crystal valve]

that 99¢ bundle is 100% worth it

[maiden sphinx]

who should i stick my quintus prime on

[gaunt wolf]

That's the core that makes Sharkticons right?

[grim plinth]

yes

[maiden sphinx]

i’ve had it since the prime core events

and i haven’t put it on anyone yet

[eternal schooner]

Does sideswipe have a g1 core

[true grail]

Question when I can buy my first 5 star shard what one should I go for. Autobot side here

[eternal schooner]

Batch 11, 10, or 7 are good batches

Definitely go for one of those

[grim plinth]

depends on your 4 stars

which 4s do you have?

[grim plinth]

these are no loss batches. but your choice between the group will vary on your bots @true grail

[true grail]

Those are my 4s

[teal wigeon]

Nope, put Trpyt Plat on him

[maiden sphinx]

DAMN, you got some good 4* dawg

why are almost none of ur good bots upgraded

i would do ratchet, bluur blaster, ariel red alert jazz skydive sideswipe blades jazz and jumpstream

and jetfire

[true grail]

1. they are upgraded by when I got them and 2) don't really know what is 'good'. Lol

[maiden sphinx]

you should def upgrade blaster

he is amazing for outpost

warpath aswell

i have his 4* hes amazing

[fresh remnant]

Nosecone is god tier max him out

So is grimlock and pyramagna

[dark sun]

Pyra is actually good

[gaunt wolf]

For the record, the stuff about Nosecone and Grimlock is satire, they're two of the worst bots in the game

[eternal schooner]

That’s gotta be a joke

[eternal schooner]

Grimlock can be really good time to time.

[hard coyote]

Nosecone is not even a situational bot. He's just bad as a bot grim can be good sometimes but pyra is a really good warrior

[dark sun]

You guys forgot huffer

[fresh remnant]

Wut bout him

[fallen pebble]

He’s garbage

[teal wigeon]

absolute waste

[eternal schooner]

What's good on him

[jolly shell]

What do you "wHat'S GoOd oN hIM?" Bruh you just got the best combiner!

This is a time of celebration!

||rejuv and nightstick ||

[eternal schooner]

I can't even rank him up yet 😅

[jolly shell]

Anyway thats the build

[eternal schooner]

Thx

[jolly shell]

Np lol

I'm just trying to have a little fun

[eternal schooner]

I can't wait to rank him up I've seen his 4* ability in action

[grim plinth]

He is very good on the bench 🙂

[fervent tapir]

Can anyone help me with making some squads? (7 slots)

[gilded nacelle]

What kind of strategy do you want to use? That plays a role in choosing teams

[fervent tapir]

I kinda, don’t know lol

I like playing my games fast

So something about rushing

[teal wigeon]

Damn you have better bots than me even tho I have 34 4 star bots

[nimble coral]

What a lucky guy

You got him even before you can rank up him

[violet valve]

Where can i find a good HQ14 design?

[gaunt wolf]

What's a good loadout for Blades?

[teal wigeon]

coating

[gaunt wolf]

Alright, what about for a COMBAT

[teal wigeon]

idek

[hard coyote]

Nightstick and coating/g1

[dark sun]

G1 + NS

[gaunt wolf]

Hm alright, don't believe I have a gold G1 Blades but I'll look

I don't. But, I have enough silver ones to make a gold

Looks better. Would use my 3* Nightstick but that's on my 5* Swoop atm

[gilded nacelle]

Air class bots generally do well gun combats

[grim plinth]

Singe counter (I always forget the name and I don’t feel like checking) is a great substitute for nightstick

[gaunt wolf]

Lemme check that rq

Pinpointer

[grim plinth]

Thanks

[eternal schooner]

G1 core

[last acorn]

Good combat bot for doubledealer?

[split saffron]

Flak

[gilded nacelle]

Depends how you use him.

But he's a pretty meh bot. I wouldn't waste a combat on him unless he is truly one of your best. Especially a top tier combat like flak

[last acorn]

Well I been just playing for a month and I'm just hq 12 and he is my 7th 4star bot I guess I just roll with him for now

[gilded nacelle]

In that case I'd go with a companion

[split saffron]

Flak gives him much needed range that turns him into a nice gunner. All up to you

[gilded nacelle]

You'd get better value putting Flak on a jet

[grim plinth]

He is 100% worthy of leveling if he is your 7th 4*

[thorn vale]

What bot good with tactician core. I have like 4 gmetal of those and don't know what to do with them

[hard coyote]

Sentinus magnus and rotorstorm

[thorn vale]

Ok 👌

[graceful flicker]

Question! Im HQ 18 with level 16 stuff, a bit of lvl 17 and a tiny bit of lvl 18 stuff. I need a good base design, one that will get wins, i am mobile aswell (since i swear there are some differences between platforms)

[sleek fable]

can i play tf ew on a pc?

[graceful flicker]

Yes using some applications

Some people use BlueStacks

[nimble coral]

No

Even if you can do it, just be careful that your account will be banned

[graceful flicker]

Mine wasnt banned, i used bluestacks for my alt for a bit before switching back to mobile.

[split saffron]

You can use an emulator, however, they are banning accs that use emulators when they do their banwaves as that is not allowed. Some people cheated through emulators and it became strictly profibited

[gilded nacelle]

No

Doing so could get you banned

[gilded nacelle]

You run the risk of being banned. I hope you haven't spent much

[graceful flicker]

Huh

Interesting

Well that only happened for a few days. It was a quick switch back, dw. It was way back aswell

[valid gate]

Following up the conversation from #1068363541649817601, it was recommended to me to place Omega in my combiner beacon, which I did, but in general, what’s a good, if not the best defensive combiner option?

[gaunt wolf]

Computron/Liokaiser

Only as a 4 star from what I've heard
