General Strategy & Help!

[split saffron]

Computron is general consensus if you have his 4 star, but tbh his skill is easily wasted. OS and Sky Reign however always provide buffs to your base and bots with their 4* skills so definetly work better if you have them.

[valid gate]

Omega Supreme and Sky Reign. Gotcha.

[eternal schooner]

is flatline or soundwave better 4*

[hard coyote]

As There are only 4 healers (5th healer is exclusive for now so I haven't counted it ) so I think any 4 * or higher rarity healer should be level up

[jolly shell]

Different purposes

Hard to compare

[split saffron]

If you need healer then take Flatline. If you need a bot that spawns minions who can pop outposts then take Soundwave. They are totally different bots for different things

[eternal schooner]

yeah i just realized that mb

i ment shockwave

[hard coyote]

@eternal schooner

[maiden sphinx]

jus got 4* inferno is he any good

[hard coyote]

Yes

[valid gate]

Welp, I’m now 40 shards away from my third 5 star bot… And have no idea who to go for…

What’s the best use of my shards? Should I go for a medic, since I don’t have a single 4 star one, should I try going for a combiner component, or is going for one of the better/best bots, like Laser Optimus, the way to go?

[remote root]

What are your current 5 star bots

[valid gate]

Just Elita-1 and Ultra Magnus.

[remote root]

Hm

Go for batch 10 since it has a super good medic. Even if you don't get her, you'll still get a very good bot.

[valid gate]

I’m assuming Minerva is that medic?

[remote root]

Yep

[drifting palm]

You have better odds going for Ratchet.

[valid gate]

And Minerva aside, I don’t hear very much about the other bots in that batch. They good?

[split saffron]

All B10 bots are a huge W

Literally all 5 of them, while other batches tend to have 2-3 amazing bots

[valid gate]

And funny enough, I ended up with Elita-1 in my attempt to get Ratchet at the time, lol.

But yeah, sounds like batch 10 is the way to go, then.

[valid gate]

Also, as a curiosity, is 5 star Optimus Primal worth it?

Currently 10K shanix away, so just a few more weeks until I’m able to get him.

[drifting palm]

"Worth it" is a complicated question. Yes, he's better than a million Spark, but only after you spend 2.75 million Spark on him.

[split saffron]

If you're above user rank 80 then totally worth it. If you're bellow, then no

[valid gate]

I see.

[drifting palm]

Yeah, I started early enough that by the time Zen came around, I was earning it faster than I could spend it. If you're still in a position to convert Shanix to Z-Energon, do so.

[valid gate]

Z-Energon is worth the shanix, huh?

[drifting palm]

Specifically, the extra Research Slots are.

[valid gate]

I hear that. I only have one extra slot so far.

[woeful olive]

What's a good core for her?

[gilded nacelle]

I'd go either a universal core like rejuv or attack... or a prime core

[grim plinth]

First things first, what does you team look like?

[valid gate]

Currently my strongest team.

[valid gate]

Ended up getting Strafe from the batch 10 crystal. Not who I was hoping for, of course, but I’ll take him.

Can’t complain about another combiner component, at least.

[split saffron]

He's more than a combiner component lol

[valid gate]

I was gonna ask for combat bot and core to give him, but that video already answered that, lol.

What star is that Steeljaw, though?

Ugh… I don’t even have a 3 star Steeljaw, nevermind a 4 star.

[split saffron]

Use Stripes then

Any strong companion will do

Stripes will heal him, but others like Sidetrack will work nice too

[valid gate]

Gotcha.

Looks like I don’t have Sidetrack, either, so Stripes it is.

What star is that Steeljaw in the video, anyway?

[split saffron]

4 IIRC

It's from a guy from alliance, not mine

[valid gate]

Ah, gotcha.

[valid gate]

Ugh, now that I have Strafe, waiting another 12 hours for my Blaster and Rotorstorm research feels FAR longer.

Is it best to spend some coins to skip, or should I save them?

I never spend coins cause I never know the best time to use them, or what the best use of them is.

[teal wigeon]

You have all dispatch and build bots?

[valid gate]

I have all the build bots, yeah. As for dispatch, you mean the shuttle? Not just yet. Not enough energon storage space for that yet. Currently upgrading my stores as we speak.

And the maximum squad size is 8 bots when fully upgraded, right? If so, that would be my last upgrade.

[split saffron]

Dispatch missions are from the scanner and you have 4 missions slots per faction. If you got all BBs and Dispath missions unlocked then you can spend coins on speed ups. After all these, coins are most often used for skipping robot cooldown while power leveling.

[valid gate]

Oh! Heh, I forgot about the dispatch missions. I don’t normally use them. Good to know, though.

Ouch. 2000 coins to unlock the other two missions. Hope it’s worth it.

[teal wigeon]

when you have bots to upgrade while not in use, yeah it is and also you can use the dispatch for your alt faction as well as your main one

[distant marsh]

What zone is this lol, my strafe is just on the shelf rn not doing much

[split saffron]

Oof I'm not sure, either 14 or 15 and it was in event, hence no Titan being present

[novel nexus]

So uhhh, would octopunch be a good replacement for scrapper

[grim plinth]

what bots do you have?

[novel nexus]

1 sec

[novel nexus]

Malus and Soundwave are already on outpost

[teal wigeon]

i would level up that blot and use him

[novel nexus]

What specifically makes him good🤔

[grim plinth]

he pops out posts and he has good health... thats it

but it is a very important job

[grim plinth]

Malus, Soundwave and Scrapnel

[novel nexus]

Smae reason as blot

[teal wigeon]

what was scrapnels ability?

[novel nexus]

Emp I'm pretty sure

[teal wigeon]

like bumblebee?

[glacial siren]

EMP Grenade, counterpart to Bee.

[teal wigeon]

figured

i mean eh

blot is still better imo

[grim plinth]

Bumblebee still doesnt have a G1 core

[teal wigeon]

holo bot that fights and explodes is pretty good

[teal wigeon]

what would it do tho

maybe make him immune to emp or make him invisible to defenses

[grim plinth]

if SA takes my destron idea.... that wont happen

speaking of "wont happen" 😂

[novel nexus]

How does he not

I thought like, nearly everyone has a g1 core

Freaking armada Megatron, who isn't a g1 character, has a g1 core

[grim plinth]

Armada is technically G1 in Japan.... very loose link

[split saffron]

Devs release them as they see it fit

[bleak oxide]

which bots are worth upgrading

whose SAs should I focus on

and what are some good outpost bots

[valid gate]

So long as we’re discussing team/bot improvements, any advice?

Currently my strongest team… By far.

[teal wigeon]

get rid of that sludge tbh

everyone else is good

elita 1 is your top bot there

i hope you have your armor on her

also what other bots do you have? @valid gate

[valid gate]

I have Elita’s Gmetal armor. All set there, lol. Just got a 4 star Sky Lynx. Working on leveling it up a bit before switching them out.

As for my other bots…

Also, for my current bots, any combat/core suggestions?

[bleak oxide]

someone help me a bit too 🥲

[indigo arrow]

What's the best core and combat bot for twin twist

[teal wigeon]

rip that ultra magnus

[teal wigeon]

you are not focusing enough on that rook amongst other bots

like wow

focus on that hot rod as well

[jolly shell]

Flatline, cutty, motor, Armada, divebomb. Start there

[jolly shell]

Amalagous prime core with sidetrack

[bleak oxide]

already upgraded to lvl 5 on all of them

[teal wigeon]

also that rotostorm, twin twist, blaster, windblade, swoop, punch, ironhide, seaspray, smokescreen, impactor and prowl

[jolly shell]

Hmmm. Is that your max you can do right now?

[bleak oxide]

yes

[jolly shell]

I see

[bleak oxide]

the next one need 1.7

my capacity is 1.6

around

[teal wigeon]

i wish i had that 4 star blaster and punch and smokescreen and twin twist tbh

[jolly shell]

Off road, shockwave, runamuck, brake neck

Do those next

[valid gate]

Not good?

[teal wigeon]

no he is not

but he is a 5 star so definitely can do damage

nothing wrong with 5 stars

[valid gate]

And both Rook AND Hot Rod are just that good?

[teal wigeon]

ok yes and along with the long list i mentioned

rook can pop outposts, divert defenses and deal area damage

[jolly shell]

Hot garbage

[teal wigeon]

also

@valid gate

that strafe

is god tier

if you level him up enough

[valid gate]

I’ll send you a DM. Maybe you can help me work out a team with the bots you suggested.

[teal wigeon]

i would post it here so others can see it

dw about taking up channel space, thats why its here

[indigo arrow]

@jolly shell Any other core or combat as I don't have either

[jolly shell]

Dang

Uh.

[valid gate]

That’s what I’ve been hearing. I currently have blaster and rotorstorm upgrading. They’re finished in one hour. Strafe is up next in the queue.

[teal wigeon]

very good

[jolly shell]

A different companion like air razor would do

[teal wigeon]

if i were you i would ditch ultra magnus

[jolly shell]

Core...rejuv

[jolly shell]

Ask for a refund 🤣

[teal wigeon]

and also that sludge

[teal wigeon]

if only lolol

but i lucked with my first 5 star pull and got rook as a 5 star

now all i need is 70 shards for my next 5 star

[valid gate]

I have him in a different team for leveling up. Now knowing that he’s not a good bot to have, I’ll put him on the backburner.

[teal wigeon]

just use him for dispatch

[valid gate]

And should I replace Sludge with Rook?

[teal wigeon]

and yeah leveling up other bots

[teal wigeon]

absolutely

rook has a ton of health and is actually useful

[valid gate]

Noted. Will do.

[teal wigeon]

also utilize that springer in your main team

great healing bot if SA is leveled up high

[jolly shell]

Who ya going for?

[teal wigeon]

was going to go for LOP

but i might just chuck it in batch 10

since batch 10 are all s tier bots

[valid gate]

I was told he pairs very well with Windblade, so I have them together on another team. That said, I currently don’t have a single 4 star medic, so he could be useful.

[teal wigeon]

indeed

[valid gate]

Who should I switch out for him?

[jolly shell]

Well...I've now soloed the first three bases in our current war with my 5* headstrong...

[teal wigeon]

headstrong is pipes equiv right?

[valid gate]

As for my Rook

[teal wigeon]

sky lynx for sure

springer is the best triple changer we have

[teal wigeon]

good loadout for him, just level up that SA alot more

[nimble coral]

what league?

[valid gate]

Noted. Any recommendations for combats and cores?

[jolly shell]

Cam since we got knocked down

[valid gate]

Oh, wait. I totally forgot I gave him his G1. Nvm, lol.

[nimble coral]

good decision

[valid gate]

Just a combat recommendation, then.

[nimble coral]

nice. i've just got my Pipes to 65 and SA7

[jolly shell]

Nice. My 4* is still sitting at 60. But this event I got my 5 to lvl 69

[teal wigeon]

thats the exact loadout i have on mine

[teal wigeon]

this is my rook

current in research to increase the cap to 60

[jolly shell]

I would run shieldron for extra clone

[teal wigeon]

going to be gone for 6 days

[nimble coral]

that's crazily crazy 💀 , i haven't even got any of mine to 67

[teal wigeon]

yeah only have 3 star and thats on slug

[jolly shell]

My second strongest is lvl 63 💀

[teal wigeon]

so im gonna wait for 4 star

isnt the max for a 3 star lvl 60?

[jolly shell]

I think so

[nimble coral]

wth

[teal wigeon]

bet

my 3 star optimus prime is at lvl 50 rn

[nimble coral]

i have 3 at 66, 4 at 64, Gnaw is 59 lol, Working on Hoist

[valid gate]

I have the Gmetal core, myself. I’ve largely been saving them for when I get 5 star bots, otherwise I’d be using them more. Hence, the gold version I gave him. And I don’t have either a 3 star OR a 4 star Sidetrack yet, hence why I gave him Soundbarrier.

[teal wigeon]

@valid gate also avoid working on that streetwise

he sucks

[nimble coral]

you make me want Pipes even more, snake dude

[teal wigeon]

sheldron is better for him but yeah thats a good choice, its better to put sidetracks on someone that can drop him off at the HQ

[jolly shell]

It's clear who gets the love

[valid gate]

Sheldron’s the better shield combat choice, huh? Maybe I’m misremembering, but I thought he was best paired with Optimal Optimus?

[jolly shell]

I don't know if they are compatible

[valid gate]

Thankfully I DO have Sheldron, so imma fix that now. Giving to Rook.

[valid gate]

Regarding your earlier bot recommendations, I’m gonna place them in my #2 team slot, so It’s replacing the team I currently have there.

[teal wigeon]

its also best to put hot rod with any rusher bot

like windblade or pipes or that red alert

or inferno if you have him

[teal wigeon]

i think optimal optimus is best with a bot that spew acid

maybe bashbreaker

either way just remember fire and acid is a deadly combo

post whatever you have here when you are done reorganizing

also which optimal optimus do you have

cuz he went from D tier to A+ tier imo

[valid gate]

I attached a screenshot with my last post, but it failed to load. This was it.

[teal wigeon]

S tier if you have him with bashbreaker

[teal wigeon]

good team just replace that street wise with...anyone else for support

[valid gate]

Currently just 3 star.

[teal wigeon]

ah well

still put some into him if you can

he is kinda like sixgun but he doesnt take off

[valid gate]

Will give it a shot.

I’m currently saving the empty slot for Blaster when he’s done upgrading, but for now, I pulled a few of the recommended bots from earlier for a preliminary team. Any changes you’d make?

[teal wigeon]

for this one?

and yeah blaster is a great bot all around

defense and offense

[teal wigeon]

do you have rodimus?

[valid gate]

Not a 4 star, anyway.

[teal wigeon]

i would put one more tank on here

any bot with a high amount of health

i just saw you have inferno

he is a great bot too

[valid gate]

Worth placing on the team? Who should I replace with?

[teal wigeon]

i would say its good to have two tanks on a team

[nimble coral]

i use 4

[teal wigeon]

save him for another team

well you have 8 slots on one squad right?

[valid gate]

I don’t have enough knowledge on who makes a good tank or not. Just glad I have you guys for just this sort of thing, lol.

[teal wigeon]

np

you already have one of the best tanks on that team actually

Ironhide

but have two so you arent relying on soley him to power through

tbh you could put inferno on that last slot and then have hot rod give him his blessing whenever he rushes in @valid gate

[valid gate]

And not yet. Didn’t have enough energon storage space for that. I’m currently upgrading it now, so I SHOULD by the time they’re finished… Which should be in less then an hour by now.

[teal wigeon]

oh i meant @nimble coral

[teal wigeon]

so dw about that

[nimble coral]

i have 8 slot

[teal wigeon]

i would put inferno there and hot rod can use his Special ability on him whenever he charges in

[teal wigeon]

nice

[valid gate]

Will do once I unlock my 8th bot team slot.

[teal wigeon]

yeah just give it time and good luck

also you have all three research slots right? @valid gate

[valid gate]

So the maximum number of research slots is three? Not just yet. Been saving my shanix for Optimus Primal. Currently just under 10K away.

[teal wigeon]

lemme save you the trouble

good thing i asked

optimus primal is garbage imo

he isnt very good unless you are a high level

like HQ16+ high level

just get the z energon for the research slots and make your life MUCh easier

[valid gate]

Just recently reached HQ 16, actually. A bit of a bummer to spend my shanix after SO long, but I can’t argue with that logic, lol.

[teal wigeon]

trust me the research slots are super useful

i would say Omega supreme's grapple is more useful that primal

like right now i have Rook, Laser Optimus Prime AND SG jetfire in the research lab

three s tier bots right there

[valid gate]

Just unlocked the third research slot.

Strafe is in there now.

[teal wigeon]

lets go

more bots getting researched is always good

alright good luck man

[valid gate]

Also, my energon stores just finished upgrading, so now I have enough for the 8th bot slot. Upgrading now.

Oh god, 2 weeks… Well, at least I have time to prep my current teams, lol.

[teal wigeon]

nice

[valid gate]

Also, any combat/core recommendations for the team?

Oh!

@teal wigeon Recommended outpost bots?

[teal wigeon]

Swoop, Rook, Strafe, Impactor, Rhinox, Laser Optimus Prime, Chromia, Blaster, Elita-1, Blades, Twin twist, Star saber and Cheetor

[valid gate]

Noted. Will consider those options. As for my team’s loadout(s)?

[teal wigeon]

Idr for the other ones but it doesn't really matter for Hot rod cuz he is a support bot. You can put a bot to help him do damage and pteradoxn or however you spell it for blaster

[valid gate]

Pteraxadon? For blaster? Not a recommendation I expected to hear. I currently have mine attached to Elita, but I can probably give him my 3 star version.

As for Hot Rod, Nightstick a good option?

[teal wigeon]

Nightstick belong on someone like six gun or sun streaker or even optimal optimus

[valid gate]

Gotcha. In that case, my remaining available combats for him are Dile and Zaur.

[teal wigeon]

He doesn't need a combat tbh

Pick another bot

[valid gate]

Gotcha.

[wheat hull]

hello, recently ive been giving my base more attention and been attempting to build a good setup for certain defenses there are often multiple choices could someone give me a rundown as to which are more preferable

[grim plinth]

2 things…. 1. are you referring to any defense in specific? 2. Are you talking about the best way to place your defenses?

Also what hq are you?

[wheat hull]

currently hq 16 and i was wondering about cores on defenses, looking back at it i worded my question terribly, im running cybertronian charge on lazers, emp shock on shock towers, high velocity shells on cannons, a mic of ricochet and anti air for lazers, guided missles for missle launchers, a mix of target protocol and incendiary on mortars, and glass gas on my mines

does this sound like a good setup for cores or should i switch things around a bit

[grim plinth]

That sounds good. Give me a sec and I’ll get back to you

[grim plinth]

ok. so. First is the mines.
My mine cores are the MSM (motion sensing mines) on two in the thick of my base and then my other two have glass gas core right in front of my posts.
Second is the shock tower. My shock towers have thunderstorm but I have seen some use of lighting rod core. In my opinion Thunderstorm is the better core because of the range. You will see prime cores on this later in the game.
Third are my auto cannons. I have High velo shells core on all of my auto cannons. The explosive shells just arent good to me. At HQ 17, you will most likely have one auto cannon occupied by a prime core.
Fourth is the laser turrets. I have seen a lot of anti air core turrets, but the way I run my base, I just dont see the use for them. I have laser ricochet on two, and death pulse on the other two. DP just works well. In the hq 17+ meta, you will most likely not see the laser turrets running any prime (unless im forgetting something). with the laser turret I can say that it is up to how your base functions
fifth is the mortar. Simpy put, target protocol is pretty much the only core you can use for it. Incendiary simply isnt as good as TP. TP will focus gunners and medics and increase range. I dont remember seeing any Mortar running a prime core.
sixth is the beam lasers. The beam lasers will have cybertron charge. just like the mortar, CC is really the only good core for it when looking at building specific options. In higher zones you might prime cores on it.
seventh is the Missile launchers. Missile launchers are arguably the most versatile defenses in the hq 16 base meta. You can run Guided Missiles (that is what my Missile launchers have) or you can go for self repair to have the base damage and hear OR you can go for attack to boost the base damage. the damage reduction from using GM isnt impactful in my opinion. You will see prime cores on one of them.

I am a new hq 17 as I got here a couple days ago. This layout is pretty much hq 16 with a titan 😂

These are all max hq 16 buildings too.

Hope that helped @wheat hull

I apologize to everyone for dropping an essay in here 😂😂😂

[gaunt wolf]

Doesn't Rattrap work well with him or....

[wheat hull]

it really does thanks a lot

[wheat hull]

One more thing if you don’t mind what would you suggest for the hq

I’ve seen people run a variety of things so I’m unsure what to go with

[grim plinth]

I run adaptive shielding. It helps slow down the titan in hopes of getting a clock out win

But, when you do get a titan up to a good level, it is best to run Point Defense Beam

The titans even boost the PDB on defense as well

[wheat hull]

Ok thanks once again

[upbeat marsh]

Hi all. What core other then vm is used for prowl. Using him more as support as I use a jet to one shot. Thank in advance.

[split saffron]

Prowl should have his G1

[nimble coral]

nope. Adaptive shielding is still better

[gilded nacelle]

Yes

[split saffron]

I mean Fortress is considered to be optimal on defense and he does not boost beams, also if sweats in Prime League use Adaptive then they are probably right

[nimble coral]

PDB is good only against low level attacker imo

bcs it's just like damageless against strong team

[scarlet jasper]

Sweats lol

[teal wigeon]

sweat spotted

[scarlet jasper]

I only use fort because I don't like metroplex in this game

[grim plinth]

I have no clue why his face is still in his dome

like, why isnt that patched yet? 🤣

[scarlet jasper]

Lmao

[teal wigeon]

i jest, tbh i cant imagine sweating in a mobile game unless you dump hundreds into it

[gaunt wolf]

Me who's working on a GMetal Adaptive Shielding in the background as an HQ14 (its already level 10)

[scarlet jasper]

I mean you only have to sweat in events

[teal wigeon]

true

[scarlet jasper]

Plus you meet the same people in war so 🤷

[lean pagoda]

How do you joing for givaways I see some people with the role

[eternal schooner]

Idk really

[gilded nacelle]

You have to fight one of the winners from the previous giveaway. If you beat them you can join the next giveaway

[teal wigeon]

funny

[teal wigeon]

it used to be for Generation 1 and VIP

i think its just generation 1 now

[eternal schooner]

Ah

[scarlet jasper]

I think it is

Can you even sigh up for generation 1

[teal wigeon]

its for those who got here first

so prestige thing

[scarlet jasper]

Well that's dumb

[teal wigeon]

so are somethings about this game ngl

but that is just my critique of it

[scarlet jasper]

Im interest to know what they are

[teal wigeon]

for me its how in the world this game is so old yet has some annoying bugs

and i hear they cant take out the leaderboard because of how many bugs it may cause?

that doesnt sound good for a game going on for this long

but speculation, i could be wrong

they seem so bent on squeezing every dollar out of you but cant fix some bugs?

[scarlet jasper]

Ong I spend like a thousand a month ngl about that

[teal wigeon]

💀 thousand?

also the war rewards are very meh

[scarlet jasper]

🤫

[teal wigeon]

those need to increase a lot per league

[scarlet jasper]

I am in prime league and I get these bs awards they could've done better

[teal wigeon]

yep

[wheat hull]

Hello everyone out of these bots who should I take to sa 11 first

[teal wigeon]

minerva

no wait she doesnt have an SA11

[wheat hull]

Yea these are just my top bots not necessarily ones with sa 11

[teal wigeon]

Jetfire or Rook imo

not worth it to take OP to SA11

moreso that jetfire cuz he is a 5 star

[scarlet jasper]

I only use sg jetfire on my backup team

[teal wigeon]

i have SG as a 4 star

need to get energon to take off coating

[scarlet jasper]

I got him 5 star his power level is 7112 not maxed yet

[teal wigeon]

nice

[scarlet jasper]

Question are you the primus that was in the eg family or whatever they call themselves

[teal wigeon]

nah

[scarlet jasper]

Cool

[teal wigeon]

i think i was in an old alliance but that was years ago

i couldnt even remember if i tried

[scarlet jasper]

What alliance are in now

[teal wigeon]

alamobots

my account is very old tho so it might been me or not

@scarlet jasper what hq was the primus you saw?

[scarlet jasper]

Like 15 or 14 I saw it when my backup was in there for like a second

[teal wigeon]

i was hq 14 a long time ago

im 15 now

so maybe

i do know i was in an ally once but got kicked for inactivity

fair since i stopped playing lol

[scarlet jasper]

My backup account is hq 14 you mite of seen it on global

[teal wigeon]

tbh i dont pay attention to global, they are weird

[scarlet jasper]

I only chat when mercy or one of my friends are in there

[teal wigeon]

ah

[scarlet jasper]

What spot are they in on the leader board if you don't mind me asking

[teal wigeon]

298

[scarlet jasper]

I spoke to you in global before lol

[teal wigeon]

you probably have

[scarlet jasper]

My backup is tbo something

[split saffron]

If your game acc was VIP before you will be able to once they get the bot running :p got the same issue here and gotta wait

[teal wigeon]

i would have been VIP at some point

all i need is to reach HQ17

[split saffron]

That goes for a lot of people :p

[teal wigeon]

i bet

and no mercy, they just axed it

sucks

[scarlet jasper]

Yep

[dark sun]

🤣

[frozen tree]

https://tenor.com/view/no-mercy-johnny-kreese-william-zabka-martin-kove-gif-24814714

[hardy plume]

Is this a Decent team(have to level them)

[gaunt wolf]

Only dud I can see there is Goldfire. Lots of better warriors than him

[teal wigeon]

replace goldfire with ironhide or pipes or rook

if you dont have any, sideswipe will do too

[hardy plume]

I have Ironhide but I still have to level him too

[teal wigeon]

great cuz he is way better than goldfire

also move that wheel jack someone else and put a gunner or jetfire there

all the jetfires imo are good except that cybertron one

[hardy plume]

I may put prowl in there

Or alpha bravo

[teal wigeon]

do you have six gun?

or seaspray?

[hardy plume]

Only the 2*s

[teal wigeon]

then prowl is a good choice

let mee see your bots

sort them by their star rating

[hardy plume]

I have to leave for work rn, so I'll do that later

[teal wigeon]

bet

[frozen tree]

Goldfire is useful with Pipes, but not alone. Having both gives you an acid/fire rush duo.

[thorn vale]

Is this guy good?

[gilded nacelle]

Fair to middling

[wooden sequoia]

Is 4* brawn good?

[gilded nacelle]

He has potential as a support bot if you team him up with the right bots

But on his own he's terrible

[wooden sequoia]

Is he better than optimal Optimus cause that’s the other option sadly

[gilded nacelle]

It's a bit more nuanced than that

The answer depends on your strategy and the rest of the team

[wooden sequoia]

This is the team

Optimus is being replaced by after breaker though

[shy sequoia]

don’t have gunner too?

[wooden sequoia]

No 4* gunner sadly

It’s my alt

[teal wigeon]

Opt op is better

[grim plinth]

Trail breaker or after breaker?

[frozen tree]

To make Brawn effective, you want him paired with someone that has an emp ability. A good pairing would be Bumblebee, who has a low cost sa emp.

[frozen tree]

If you want to keep Brawn on the team, you need and emp to go with him like Bumblebee.

On that team, however, I would keep Prime, dump Brawn and add Optimal Optimus. Since his revamp he is quite potent at aoe damage. He's also good at dealing with outpost bots.

[grim plinth]

Chromia is also a good pairing

[frozen tree]

Mirage might also be worth a look. Especially since Mirage is a gunner, which the team lacks.

[teal wigeon]

mirage has longer range than brawn tho

so i would do chromia or bumblebee

[languid edge]

Here’s the whole war team stats

[jolly shell]

No ravage on soundwave smh

[languid edge]

Why ravage?

[grim plinth]

Ravage is one of Soundwave's cassettes.... thats why

[teal wigeon]

just noticed we never saw ravage in TFP

[valid gate]

I mean, Pteraxadon was just recommended to me for my 4 star Blaster the other day, sooo… yeah.

[grim plinth]

Pteraxadon is the best combat for him of course..... but if you want him to look flashy, use ravage 😂

[valid gate]

Wait, really? He is?

[grim plinth]

yes

[valid gate]

I’ve been using him for my 5 star Elita, but knowing that, I’m switching him over now.

[grim plinth]

You can use Pteraxadon and Quintus for almost any bot. Primarily the ones that need the protection

[grim plinth]

ive seen Sawtooth on a lot of Elitas

[valid gate]

Sawtooth, huh? Bummer.., I think I only have his 2 star…

What are generally the recommended combats for her?

[grim plinth]

I use Quintus for protection

[grim plinth]

He specific core and Sawtooth are popular rn

[valid gate]

Already got her Gmetal armor, so that’s not a concern. But yeah, Sawtooth… I’ll have to hope I can get him eventually.

[frozen tree]

Personally, I like Sawtooth on Optimal Optimus, as he is a high end melee dps bot. Your mileage may vary.

[valid gate]

I only have 2 star Sawtooth, so it doesn’t matter much right now, anyway. Will just have to hold out until I get a better version.

[split saffron]

Agreed

[languid edge]

Ugh nvm

[unkempt summit]

5* Rust Dust, Core/Combat recommendations?

[grim plinth]

Trechfoot or Tricerashot for combats…. Trechfoot boost damage if the target is under an effect…. Fire is one of them

Alchemist or Rejuvenate are the best for her too

[unkempt summit]

I think I can spare a Trenchfoot, I do have Alc I believe, ty

[upbeat marsh]

Hi all. How long does the fuel cell increase perk for the cyber pass last?

[split saffron]

Until the pass ends

[upbeat marsh]

Thanks.

[frozen tree]

Disagree on the Rejuv. As a dps bot, you want to increase her dps as much as possible. So an Attack core or a dps Prime core of some kind.

[unkempt summit]

Now that I think about it... How in the world does this team even work? I've been running it for a long time
I regularly harass Z14 (ahhh scanner lv) often with everyone at full HP
Trailbreaker has SA 11
Blurr and Blades are lv 55+, everyone else is lv 50
Trip Up, 2 Red Heats, Zaur, Windstrike, Tri, Airazor, Shieldron
Blades and Sky Linx have G1
Quintessa, Alpha Trion, Onyx, and Amal
I have 5⭐ Ratchet and Rust Dust, I still prefer running First Aid and Blurr

[split saffron]

SA11 Trailbreaker is certainly... interesting...

[unkempt summit]

Its gotten to the point where he carries a lot LOL

like specifically Trailbreaker

Everyone is usually grouped up until mid-late game if they're still alive

[split saffron]

Really? Upon trying him myself he just kinda feels like Tracks but 50% off

[unkempt summit]

Rigged healing

if it isnt SA 11 then its sad

I find myself spamming his SA a lot specifically for the healing cause FA's Drones are usually more pronounced when theres only a bot or two left

[unkempt summit]

I mean if you want to use him without SA 11 then I'd reccomend in the early game where everyone is grouped up. Anything AoE based hitting a massive amount of people and their combats will add up pretty fast

It usually doesnt kill, its around 10-25% (I had a 50% once🤣)of the building's HP per shot on average in my experience

[frozen tree]

So he's clearance Tracks? 50% off?

[unkempt summit]

Sorta

Tracks SA has a massive range and lasts for a while
Trailbreakers shield is smaller and in a way has the same effect, although he cant even walk after a few seconds of his SA activation

[unkempt summit]

Update: Its Z14 not 15 mb, I sent the team into a Z15 base when I noticed
And yes, I won. No casualties besides Blurr

[split saffron]

Yeah, discount Tracks, in my experience

[last acorn]

Wiki couldn't help me to set up a team because I'm not really familiar to me game so I need you guys to help

[jolly shell]

Wow man...you've got terrible luck

But uh

How many bots can you take?

[eternal schooner]

What bots are good sac bots

[teal wigeon]

Star Saber, Elita 1, Windblade, Blurr

you can use warriors as sacs too

Pipes, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Hotspot, Jumpstream

Slug

[teal wigeon]

work on the chromia, she is very annoying to deal with on outpost

also that snapdragon

that doubledealer isnt bad either but everyone else is meh

[molten pecan]

[gilded nacelle]

Bloody hell, if you're going to ask people to look at multiple screenshots of your bots then at least sort them by star rating

[nimble coral]

wow, is this the new emoji?

[molten pecan]

Looks like so.

[nimble coral]

[unkempt summit]

Personal Experience:
Drift with G1, period. Dont use him if you dont have G1
Chromia should def be on your team
Blurr is hilariously powerful, hes the only 3* on a team of 4*
Triple changers are debatable, Sky Linx is rigged however
4* Hot Spot... Eh. As someome who spams SAs because literally everyone on my team are 5 points or lower I'd prefer someone like Jumpstreamer for a frontliner
Rook allows you to pop outposts without sacing someone, L range tho.
Dinobot is hilarious, wish I have his 4*
Optimal is rigged, period.
I dont use Brainstorm but would def recommend him

[unkempt summit]

Switch out Rook with LOP? If I do then LOP will be forced to hold Quintessa cause Rook has it rn

[frozen tree]

Is lop a 4? If so, I would dump blurr instead. Rook can pop outposts just as easily.

[grim plinth]

Does the ray booster core stack with Bido?

Asking for a friend

[jolly shell]

I bet it would. And I'll be your friend 🥰

[unkempt summit]

Small issue: Sideswipe is the only bot who can break through a wall, Rook doesnt work for every scenario

[split saffron]

Rook is Prime League meta while Sideswipe is just kinda there lol

[unkempt summit]

lol
but fr tho walls are a run killer, I'm not getting through them without some help

[dark sun]

Rook is PL meta
Sideswipe is raids meta

[frozen tree]

Blurr doesn't help you with walls either. So drop that 3s Blurr, add LOP, ???, win.

You want that Rook in there to pop outposts. Sideswipe can still be your wallbreaker. If the LOP you want to add is a 4 star, drop the 3 star Blurr, add LOP, and you are golden.

[glacial siren]

Walls? Haven’t really had much of an issue with them.
Mostly best used for pathing and splitting up a squad.

[unkempt summit]

I'll think about it
For context this is a Z15 event team where I deal 0 damage and grouping up is essential to beating the clock and surviving. LOP and Sky Linx really help with that when Blades isnt there.

[unkempt summit]

Honeycomb is just an example, I think only Punch and 5 other Combats can fire over walls

[dark sun]

Trailbreaker

[unkempt summit]

If they're grouped up, they die to literally any and all AoE buildings
If they're not grouped up, they die cause Sideswipe cant cover everyone and Rook's holo is ahhh💀
SA 11 Trailbreaker is essentially the only bot that can bring the rest through the door, if they aren't grouped up then whooo spiders deal flipping 3-10% HP each

[dark sun]

Merge those spiders with glass effect

[unkempt summit]

💀

So yeah, Trailbreaker carries a lot

[dark sun]

But what if he decides to chose his own path

[unkempt summit]

drag him back with his SA LOL

[dark sun]

But sometimes he reaches late

and kaboom

[unkempt summit]

tru, hes only in alt mode for about 3-4 seconds ish and then 0 walkspeed

[dark sun]

I'll say he's a situational bot

[unkempt summit]

It's either him or Tracks 🤷 and he doesn't have SA 11 or heals like 40% HP each use

The reflection is also nice cause I deal 0 damage

Fliers cant 1 tap and LOP somehow does💀

The entire team is basically focused on mass AoE, stuns, SA spamming and clutches (I don't know how but the Red Heats are always alive)

Trailbreaker just sits there with his shield and everyone else is get the BB or we're dead
They're dead cause nobody can specifically target a building
Punch somehow wins cause I used his SA 3 times and Amal heals are insane

[dark sun]

FFD cancels TB's shield ??

[unkempt summit]

yep💀BB ranges are insane

[dark sun]

[grim plinth]

speaking of BBs....

is the anti stun core map wide?

[unkempt summit]

Its extremely large but it shouldnt be map wide

cause fliers would be out of range

[balmy nest]

This good? If so what build do i use

[unkempt summit]

Situational, you need to have G1 on him or he dies really quick
The amount of damage he deals to OP bots and walls is insane

If youre sacing then get an independent Combat

[fallen pebble]

Not at all

Hes one of the worst in the game but if you have no other rush bots use him otherwise dispatch missions strictly

[balmy nest]

Ok

[unkempt summit]

Core and Combat recommendations for Blurr?

[dark sun]

Rejuv/vitality + ns or tricerashot

or you can use vector too

[unkempt summit]

What if I'm sacing him and damage/survivability is key?

[dark sun]

Then use vector

[unkempt summit]

alr, ty

[dark sun]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-scott-wink-yes-no-problem-gif-16355545

[wooden sequoia]

People either love him or hate him I personally actually like him. Walls are not a problem but he needs his g1 to be good.

[dark sun]

Wait wait

I got confused b/w nexus and vector you can use vector if you're using him for sac @unkempt summit

[unkempt summit]

oh, makes sense

[dark sun]

😅

[jolly shell]

My man is flaming hot garbage

[dark sun]

Dino megs has DNA of him

[jolly shell]

SA made T2M a little bit better. Not by much, but a little bit

[dark sun]

SA MADE T2M BETTER A LOT

[fallen pebble]

A LOT*

[dark sun]

A LOT

[frozen tree]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-and-dumber-dumbanddumber-gif-19488170

[unkempt summit]

Mildly curious as to how y'all would build a secondary team and what zone they'd fight in, bots on CD are on my main one. I don't care about lv rn

[grim plinth]

Optimus Prime, SGJF, Rust Dust, Opt Op, Blaster, Hot Rod, Ratchet and Skids

[teal wigeon]

thats just a collection of Stier bots

with OP being A+ tier

[nimble coral]

just do experiment, and figure how they work best

[wooden sequoia]

Is crankcase any good?

Just got his 4*

[timber geode]

Yes he is

[timber geode]

Cores and Combat for rippersnapper?

[gilded nacelle]

Megatronus and a melee

[remote root]

If I can't run Micronus on Springer (I have mine on Hoist), what would be a good core to run for him?

Secondly, is Springer still worth using w/o Micronus?

[unkempt summit]

Spinger on a team right? What about his G1?

[hard coyote]

I use g1 with him but I guess micronus works better 🤔🤔

[remote root]

I just got him yesterday, he's currently in the lab for research

[hushed charm]

Which 5 star crystal batch is the best for autobots? I only have 3 five star bots now. Wanna get another one...

[upbeat marsh]

10

[hushed charm]

Because of which bot?

[upbeat marsh]

All very good bots

[hushed charm]

Thank you

[split saffron]

G1 by far

[hard coyote]

A build for her

[balmy nest]

what is the max level for combiners?

[upbeat marsh]

25

[hard coyote]

20 for 3* and 25 for 4*

[balmy nest]

ty

[plain mulch]

Megatronus/Vector/Liege/Rejuv and for combat most melee combats will work

[distant marsh]

Megatronus and windstrike

[unkempt summit]

Spare Alch and Prima, no clue what to do with it
also core recommendations for Afterbreaker and Tracks?

[dark sun]

Reju for afterbreaker
prima + flak or Rc on tracks

[hushed charm]

How many healers to send per battle, one or more?

[teal wigeon]

one should be enough

[hushed charm]

Out of 4 5-star bots that I have, two of them are healers

[grim plinth]

1 is normally fine. but in high level wars 2 is great

unless you have a support bot that can heal

[teal wigeon]

which ones?

[hushed charm]

Ratchet and today I got Minerva

[fresh remnant]

Any builds for him, I’ve seen vm, and caliburst

[teal wigeon]

nice minerva is my 2nd 5 star

both are top tier healers, minerva is alittle better

[split saffron]

Fracas would be ideal if you have him. Though Caliburst and even Bombshock could work okay

[gilded nacelle]

Volatile mixture and a gun combat

Which gun combat depends on his role in your teams

[balmy nest]

sword or g1 for motormaster?

[gilded nacelle]

I prefer g1

[fresh remnant]

Oh

I don’t put much thought into team building

Idk how to anyway

[gilded nacelle]

How to make a team depends on the strategy you want to use.

But really, what I meant is how does Triggerhappy rank among your gunners?

Someone suggested Fracas which is legitimate but Fracas is a top tier combat so you want him on your absolute best gunner.

Maybe that's Triggerhappy. Maybe it's another gunner. Only you can answer that

[fresh remnant]

He’s the best one

Best gunner

[fresh remnant]

Ok I’ll put fracas, because I’m pretty sure I have him 3*

[balmy nest]

Could anyone make me four teams with theese bots? Im fine with just 1 but four would be higly appreciated

Idrc about their current power level as long as they get good as i level them

7 spaces btw

[gilded nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/oscars-standing-ovation-clap-clapping-applause-gif-5089552

Thank you for organizing your bots by star rating. So many players post screenshots with their bots in a mess.

For this you deserve some applause

[scarlet jasper]

So true

[eternal schooner]

Thanks for sorting your bots out

[balmy nest]

its not that big of a deal is it

[balmy nest]

also, good core / combat for headstrong?

[fresh remnant]

Gabu and Megatronus or Leigh Maximo

[fresh remnant]

So many 3s and no 4s how?

[gilded nacelle]

It's pretty annoying when someone asks for help and the bots are all jumbled. It's tedious to have to go through multiple screenshots looking for key bots and their star rating

I mean, why wouldn't someone make it easy for other players who are trying to help them?

[unkempt summit]

Tru, more photos to look through, lots more to miss

[balmy nest]

bad luck ig

or good luck maybe

i've got like maybe 3 3* repeats

[fresh remnant]

Crazy bro crazy

[balmy nest]

ik

its mostly premium cristals but still

today i opened 10x and got like 4 different 3 stars

also can you guys actually make a team instead of thanking me for sorting by star

[unkempt summit]

oh, right LOL
I would but Im an Autobot💀, I have no idea who half your roster is

[balmy nest]

damn 💀

[balmy nest]

Just got this guy too, from a free cristal idk if hes good or not

[gilded nacelle]

Very good

[indigo arrow]

What's the best combat bot for skids and twintwist?

[split saffron]

Best is quite a subjective thing but for Skids I go Topshot for that acid+fire combo and Sidetrack with Twin Twist

[mossy prairie]

I need help so recently i asked someone for another recovery code and no longer get a response

[split saffron]

For a recovery code you need to send a ticket to the devs and once they can, they will respond. People are not linking accs and losing them left and right hence why it can take some time.

[mossy prairie]

I have

They gave me a code

But i changed devices

And it has been 4 days so the code expired

[split saffron]

Well that is on you lol

Only thing you can do is send another ticket for a new one

And wait (again)

[mossy prairie]

Then i would have to process all the things again

[gilded nacelle]

Them's the breaks

[grim plinth]

What cores should I be running on my Build Bots? I would like to use zone heal on them all but I feel like I should be using other cores

2 of mine has Zone heal. 2 have FFD and the other one I’m thinking about using High frequency suppressor

the lightning rod range feels too small for me

[hard coyote]

Well depends on your base. I use 2 zone heals, 2 anti healing and 1 ffd

[grim plinth]

Ray block works well? I don’t see the value in that personally

But I’ll switch it up and try it

[hard coyote]

I have put my ray block near to outposts and beacon so while fighting them opponents won't be healing much, that's my thinking behind using ray block

[grim plinth]

Interesting

I don’t have to worry about heal cause Coel just cuts them down 😂

[split saffron]

I use 3 heals and 2 FFD. Though that may be a subject to change depending on which new gmetal cores I get. Still I'd say always have at least 2 heals and 2 FFD

[balmy nest]

So can yall make me 1-4, 7 slots team

[teal wigeon]

you can make it yourself just use this formula
2 Tanks/Rushers/Warriors
1 medic
2 special warriors
1 air class
1 gunner

you can switch it up around

just make sure to always have some warriors on there

also dont use barricade he sucks

[fallen pebble]

Facts

[unkempt summit]

Adding on: Use this format if you're fighting in a zone with a large power difference (EX: 15K in 25K)

• Dedicated Sac
• Wallbreaker (Combat or warrior with a rush ability)
• Some form of team, area, or building damage reduction
• Highly recommend some sort of reflection/hacking but not necessary. Using defenses against itself is easier than your team doing it.
• A bot with solo potential (Ex: Seaspray with Glitch, Scouts, Twin Twist etc)

[grim plinth]

2 gunner is cracked

[teal wigeon]

if its a good mix, def

acid+flame are an S-Tier combo

[grim plinth]

I have Vortex and Knockout as my two gunners. Combo goes crazy

But when I get stronger bots I will drop Vortex. I lean on fire/acid too much

[upbeat marsh]

Hi all. What’s currently the best set up for red alert? Need him to carry the front line in the team I use.

[teal wigeon]

put hot rod on the same team as him

[upbeat marsh]

How does this work? Activate hot rod then hit him with hot rods ability?

Sorry activate red alert*

[teal wigeon]

yes

hotrod makes bots invulnerable for a certain amount of time

[gaunt wolf]

Alright, so here's a potential change up for my main squad then since I'd want to follow this layout

Optimus and Laser Optimus as special melees
Ironhide and Twin Twist as tanks
Swoop as air
Rotorstorm as gunner
Springer as medic (no actual 4* medics yet)

Does that work?

[upbeat marsh]

Thanks I’ll give that a try. Currently carrying liege + nightstalker on re. Should I change cores?

[teal wigeon]

solid team althought both optimus and laser optimus are tanks in their own rights tbh, this is a solid team

[plain mulch]

I would say something like nexus and a companion bot if you want to run him as more of a support. More attacking wise you could run quintus/liege with something like nightstick, topshot, etc.

[upbeat marsh]

Appreciate it guys, thanks. I’ll try these out. 👍🏻

[fallen pebble]

Who for these 6

Roller is waiting for armada mega tho

Here’s the bots

[grim plinth]

I love SG Ravage. War worthy combat imo….. put him on anyone that would appreciate a companion

Flatline would be a good fit

Heartburn on Runabout…. Especially because you want to solo with him

Glit on Dinobot II is one of my favorite Glit uses

[fallen pebble]

I use him on op check this

[grim plinth]

Bombshock can kick rocks

And Catgut on T2

[fallen pebble]

Do you think this is good?

[grim plinth]

I forgot fang exists

Yes it’s good

[fallen pebble]

Kk that’s what I was thinking lol

[grim plinth]

Glit can really go on anyone….. He is a decent fit with Flatline, or any medic

[fallen pebble]

Also have a 4* slugfest too

Slugfest is so strong

[jolly shell]

I run catgut on tarry

[jolly shell]

||please upgrade cutthroat and headstrong before I explode||

[fallen pebble]

I’m not taking priority with them bc they 4* they’ll get up over time

[grim plinth]

|| Get ready to get blasted ||

I’m looking out for you

[fallen pebble]

I don’t mind 😂

I’m also waiting for 5* headstrong

[jolly shell]

You'd be surprised what a 4* Headstrong can do. I still use my 4☆ even though I have a (pretty much but not quite) maxed 5☆

Plus cutty is amazing while he doesn't have a 5*

[fallen pebble]

Cutty I’m just not a fan of and don’t use much

[jolly shell]

Nnnnooooooooo

[fallen pebble]

I’ve used him not as much he probably just gotta grow on me

[grim plinth]

But he is very good

[jolly shell]

Time to guilt trip you

[grim plinth]

You have to level him

[jolly shell]

Look what you're missing?

Do you really want to hurt his feelings?

[grim plinth]

|| some things you don’t say out loud ||

[fallen pebble]

I am

[jolly shell]

||I'll be nice (maybe)||

[grim plinth]

My 4* is keeping up in hq 18 battles

[fallen pebble]

I have bludgeon rn but I’d switch him out when I get his 5*

[jolly shell]

Headstrong > Bludgeon

Priorities, friend

[grim plinth]

They are what in what tbh

Er- no Headstrong is better

🤣🤣

[jolly shell]

Back to guilt tripping

[grim plinth]

|| again, some things you don’t say out loud ||

[jolly shell]

I say what I say for my purposes

[gilded nacelle]

Catgut on a melee bot Heartburn on a scout

The rest are companions and will work on any bot

[jolly shell]

I would never have guessed heartburn on a scout

[grim plinth]

Same here

[gilded nacelle]

Yeah that combat can go on only a handful of bots so choices are limited. I'm guessing they didn't know that

[fallen pebble]

Eh 4* headstrong<5* bludgeon

[grim plinth]

||I concur|| er- you are absolutely CRAZY! Headstrong is top 1 warrior

[fallen pebble]

Not putting him over my 5* with sa11 lvl10 baru

Looking better

[jolly shell]

But you have neither as a 5*...so might aswell get the better one

[fallen pebble]

Um…

Also looking better

[jolly shell]

Well

This is awkward

All I saw earlier was SS and BN

[jolly shell]

Here

[fallen pebble]

I skipped the first row so I didn’t have to show them bc they setup rly well

For my liking 😂

Ah yea combat revamp

Who y’all got sg ravage on?

[jolly shell]

I don't use em really

Put em on sinnertwin a long time ago and completely forgot about em

[fallen pebble]

Oof lol

Ok so he ain’t that great

@grim plinth who you got sg ravage on?

(Sorry for the ping)

[jolly shell]

I just haven't had any experience with him

For all I know he could be good

[fallen pebble]

He said he thinks he’s a war bot

[grim plinth]

Funny thing, I only have to 2 and 3*

But I believe he is on 5* Blitz because he I haven’t had the energon to switch him around

(5* Blitz is not on my war team)

[split saffron]

Well SG is like a mini Tracks/Cutty

Very nice combat

[unkempt summit]

Feels solid but thoughts?

[teal wigeon]

i still dont get the obssession with Primal, i would swap him for another air class

still good team

[unkempt summit]

He just somehow works🤷

[teal wigeon]

do you not have better medics?

[unkempt summit]

Theres 4* Ratchet but thats kinda it

[fallen pebble]

Good team?

[teal wigeon]

is he on your raid team?/

[unkempt summit]

I don't have a raid team yet

I just came back about a week ago with only my Z15 team intact 💀

[fallen pebble]

Which for sa10

[remote root]

Probably Coel. He'll be amazing when you get Amal

Btw do you usually run him on outpost

[fallen pebble]

I’ll be using skip when I get it from the pass

[dark sun]

Acid

[shut finch]

alr mates, this has been a bot which has been down there for ages, but I have finally thought of using him since hes good

can yall tell me how to effectively use him?

I better gunners, and never used this one specifically

works on the meta

[split saffron]

Well, works best on lined up clusters. Can also pair him with Brawn so what he doesn't destroy, Brawn will.

[distant marsh]

So, does quintus spawn sharkticons when the bot holding quintus destroys a building or does it spawn sharkticons every time any bot on the team destroys a building?

[unkempt summit]

You can use him casually (as much as war lets you, which is none💀) or as some sort of payload (I admit Punch is legit deadweight until hes the only bot alive)
Glitch is a thing but that SA range aaa
I think some people use Quintus Prime🤷 or was it Smokey?
No clue about combats, I used to use Seaspray a year ago so my memory is kinda sad
That tornado moves 1 stud per second with a laughably large hitbox (Buildings are 2x2 for reference)
I swear that stun is pure cap until SA 11, I guess its until they aren't taking damage anymore.
VM, Attack, legit anything that allows Seaspray to 1/2 tap buildings when clutching before he gets killed. (more than that, time to become broke)
That HP tho💀 use him before he dies.

[distant marsh]

Bro typed an essay on how seaspray works 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Relatable

[shut finch]

alr

[distant marsh]

Basically

[shut finch]

first one

[distant marsh]

VM + Glitch/trench/Nightstick/flak like what Val said use him w brawn and make sure you have tanks in front of him to take most of the dmg

Also, target bbs

[shut finch]

💀, blud said all my thoughts for holding him back

mate I got a ton of better gunners, idk about Seaspray

But again the meta

[distant marsh]

Which should be clustered in with other defenses so you get extra value

[distant marsh]

Isn’t sea still meta lolz

[shut finch]

it is

[distant marsh]

Just not as prevalent anymore due to better gunners

Shoutout six and Smokey, best gunners 💯🔥

[shut finch]

and skids too

[distant marsh]

F it top 5 gunners rn

Smokey, six, skids, skull, and seaspray

💯💯🔥🔥

[shut finch]

🔥

[distant marsh]

And dust up as honorable mention 🤓🔥

[shut finch]

💀

[unkempt summit]

Dust Up greandes pathfind to buildings when

the cost is so cheap but its so inconsistent💀

[distant marsh]

Ik I said that as a joke 😭😭

Bro is mediocre

[unkempt summit]

Cliff

[dark sun]

Bro You are obsessed with trail and punch (:

[unkempt summit]

🤣 I mean they're vibing in Z15 (full HP💀) and I have yet to replicate that with the rest of my roster

[eternal schooner]

Ratchet is on my raid team…

[shy sequoia]

can someone tell me why Offroad is a fusion of Ironhide and Ratchet

[split saffron]

He is just a Ratchet repaint. Devs recycled some previous 3D models for new bots to save time, while some are repaint because Hasbro wants to reuse the existing mould

[unkempt summit]

Combat recommendations for Stormclash?

[split saffron]

Pinpointer

[indigo arrow]

What are the suitable combat bots for blades?

[jolly shell]

Pinpointer

[balmy nest]

Build for headstrong?

[split saffron]

Ideally, Megatronus and Gabu. Alternatively, Liege works great as well.

If you don't have those then just Trythillium Plating

[balmy nest]

Ok

[mint turtle]

Has Scourge gotten anything worth invensting in for cores in the past year or is Emhanced Ordnance still go-to?

[split saffron]

He had his G1 for a while now

Still a great bot

[mint turtle]

Ah he did get a g1? K thanks. Might have to use EO until I get one then

[jolly shell]

Say less

Good cores: leige, Onyx, megatronus, and tri plating. Combats: zori, gabu, catgut

[gilded nacelle]

Rejuv is also good if prime cores aren't available

[jolly shell]

Or vit

[gilded nacelle]

Vitality is 💩

[jolly shell]

It can seriously buff warriors tho

[split saffron]

But Rejuv is also poop on Pipes/Headstrong as by just one cast of ability he recovers 80% HP. Rejuv after 100 seconds gives 60% of HP. Then you have Trythillium which gives 60% damage reduction from very very common sources, especially dangerous ones like Minigun. In the long run Trythillium is by far superior to Rejuv for the warriors that already heal themselves

[gilded nacelle]

Rejuv is also passive. No ability points needed

Not saying rejuv is best. Just pointing out it's a viable option

Unlike vitality which is pure 💩

[mint turtle]

Favourite core for Blot?

[grim plinth]

Vitality could mathematically help low hp bots (pretty much just gunners but they wouldnt want to have it)...... I wish SA boots the percentage

so then it could help higher hp bots

[jolly shell]

Leige works well

[nimble coral]

Micronus or Liege

[thorn vale]

What bot can hack defense other than blades and perceptor?

[nimble coral]

punch

but he hacks outpost bots

[unkempt summit]

Duration scales with SA, no debuff

[gilded nacelle]

Bots get more health from rejuv if they're alive for 30 seconds or longer

[mint turtle]

Does Liege on a teammate with Bombshell's passive hacking cause any issues or do they stack well?

[nimble coral]

they're not stacking

once it get hacked by bombshell, liege can't hack it

and vice versa

[eternal schooner]

have a question about raid strategy ... is it better for the alliance to attack base 1 then move on to base 2 then move on to base 3 and so on OR is it better for lower level players to concentrate on, say, bases 1,2,3 and for stronger players to start at, say, base 4 & 5 and all move on to base 6.
Is there a better way to optimise points from the group?

[gilded nacelle]

There is no blanket strategy that will apply to every alliance

But generally I'd say it's better for stronger players to focus on higher bases and weaker players to focus on lower bases

[eternal schooner]

great, thanks for your feedback 👍

[teal wigeon]

Plat

[timber geode]

Combat and cores for rippersnapper?

[dark sun]

Megatronus + baru

[timber geode]

O ok

[balmy nest]

Is this team good? Dont mind the 2 stars, its just that i cant use higher star versions rn

[dark sun]

You have 3 acid bots include a fire bot if you can

[balmy nest]

Maybe i replace knock out for scavenger?

[dark sun]

Not knockout can replace him with acidstorm

Merger knockout + scavengers sa to create chaos

[balmy nest]

Ok

[jolly shell]

Yeah. It's good. I'd get some more long range though

[grim plinth]

Knockout and Acid Storm do pretty much the same job…. Unless you seek damage

It’s either knockout or Acid Storm

[eternal schooner]

What combat is good with rodimus

[jolly shell]

Like...rod prime? Or hot rod

[grim plinth]

Rodimus probably. Hot Rod is…. Hot Rod 😂

[grim plinth]

Combat options are companions or Pteraxadon

From what I’ve seen

[eternal schooner]

Thanks

[teal wigeon]

dw about putting a combat on Rodimus or Hot rod if you have them both, they are both support bots

[eternal schooner]

Alright

[upbeat marsh]

Is it worth ranking up a bot I’ll hardly ever use? Or should I keep saving and pop a dupe from their crystal?

[dark sun]

Save for 4* dupe

[upbeat marsh]

Thanks

[solemn vine]

some players save for 180 5s shard as they don't wanna rank those bots they never use

but it hurts me as i spent too long to collect 7500 character shards for only 180 5 shards? i think SA should consider it, don't make this game worse

with ONLY 2500 4s shards for a 4s dup, i got 180 5s shards, no need to spend too long like that

[gilded nacelle]

If you think you might eventually get the 5* and would use it, then it might be worth ranking up

[scarlet jasper]

What bot is it first

[solemn vine]

7500 character shards = 180 5s shards + a random core (% get gold/ gmetal is higher than silver) + 1000 character shards AGAIN

and one time ranking for all rarities

[upbeat marsh]

Does ranking up apply to all star levels?

[upbeat marsh]

BW ironhide

[split saffron]

Yes

[gilded nacelle]

It does

[upbeat marsh]

Thanks guys.

[unkempt summit]

What do you do when theres 4 fire based bots in the shuttle?

[remote root]

no slingshot, 0/10

[unkempt summit]

no 4* slingshot, arguement invalidated

[remote root]

true

[unkempt summit]

LOL

[dark sun]

I'd term the Player as NOOB

[karmic tinsel]

Is punch worth levelling up?

[teal wigeon]

yep

you can hack outpost bots

and stun defenses

very useful

[karmic tinsel]

Oh ok thanks

[unkempt summit]

The guy is a straight up maniac but I swear if 2 grenades hit the same building the timer resets

mine is supposed to deal 2.5K each over 10 seconds

For context he throws 5, 1 every 2 seconds

[balmy nest]

Is tripedacus the best combiner or are there any better

[gilded nacelle]

Depends. For offense, he is certainly one of the best, if not THE best

[balmy nest]

How about defense? Not like im enough level to have a combiner as defense but im curious

[gilded nacelle]

4* computron and defensor are best for outpost

[glacial siren]

Liokaiser (4*.)

Lio can hack a whole entire enemy team if the player doesn’t play correctly.

[split saffron]

For defense I would in fact argue that OS/Overlord and Sky Reign/Galvatronus are the best. Thing is that combiner's abilities are easily evaded and these 2, even if their abilities are evaded they still apply very powerful buffs to your defenses and outpost bots.

[gilded nacelle]

Thing is, you don't really see omega or sky reign used on defense too often in cybertron or prime league

[balmy nest]

Is this team good?

[split saffron]

While I haven't played in Prime yet, players that I know and the videos that I watched show all 4 of these combiners be used. Defensor is the least used in fact. Now if you evade their abilites, which a good player will do, Sky Reign and OS end up doing more.

[gaunt wolf]

I wonder how Ruination will fare in the meta

[gilded nacelle]

Defensor isn't used in those leagues, true

But sky reign and omega are typically used on offense because players want those after death effects to apply to their war squads

[balmy nest]

Maybe i should replace rampage

[split saffron]

Luckily, we can use one for offense and have one on defense, depending on who we feel will be more fitting to our playstyle

[gilded nacelle]

I mean, you can do that

Just saying in high level wars you usually see computron in outposts even if players know how to evade hack

[fallen pebble]

I believe trip will still be meta or #2 if that

[fallen pebble]

Good build?

[dark sun]

Defense build
Reju + companion
or Nexus + companion

[gilded nacelle]

What's your hq level?

[dark sun]

16 i guess

[fallen pebble]

16

[balmy nest]

Is that team good

[split saffron]

Its okay for what it is

[fallen pebble]

Get rid of Straxus and use a fire bot

For the fire/acid combo

But yea it’s alright otherwise

[valid gate]

Combiner get.

How does he compare to the other combiners?

[nimble coral]

we can't say it yet

people haven't got much experience on him

but he seems ver y good

[jolly shell]

@nimble coral .....I might get my 5* tomorrow morning

Have to get two lucky 4* crystal drops tho

[nimble coral]

what the

https://tenor.com/view/the-flash-dc-run-speed-super-gif-12575402

i'm stuck at 2.4k

[jolly shell]

Oof

[nimble coral]

crystals sucks

[valid gate]

Fair ‘Nuff

[pulsar temple]

How do I beat this level

[nimble coral]

watch youtube

[pulsar temple]

Ok

[split saffron]

Not with such low level bots, thats for sure

Level up and upgrade your bots

[gaunt wolf]

Good loadout?

[gilded nacelle]

Volatile mixture and a gun combat

[unkempt summit]

You need at least lv 40-50 across all your bots from my experience,

[jolly shell]

Which campaign part is is?

[remote root]

Return to Cybertron, Part 1

Currently on Return to.Cybertron, Part 5

Barely beat Part 4 and Part 5 requires 16k power so yeah I'll be out 'till hq 15

[urban lark]

I don't remeber exactly but these bases give quite a good amount of resources.....first build up that power squad and then only attack on low resources in storage

Don't waste the resources imo

[jolly shell]

Oh yeah

That one you'll want to wait until later

[eternal schooner]

I got a YouTube video and I think I remember the roster I used

[hard coyote]

3* Sidetrack easily.

[jolly shell]

5* 😈

[hard coyote]

Me too 5*

[teal wigeon]

Idk now he got nerfed

[hard coyote]

Still 2 sidetrack Is enough

[urban lark]

Yo my friend @eternal schooner

[eternal schooner]

Yes?

[urban lark]

Wrong place

Come to other chat....lol

[balmy nest]

Is this team good? Idk about having skullsmasher and halfshell on the same team

[fallen pebble]

It shouldn’t matter that much until you get to higher levels

[balmy nest]

Just got this guy is he good?

[jolly shell]

Some say yeah. Some don't

[balmy nest]

For my 9th 4 star i think hes pretty useful

[gilded nacelle]

A little less effective against bases with titan perks but still good

[unkempt summit]

Core and Combat suggestions?

Quick record on how often I use them (Afterbreaker was sacced)
Sometimes I Prime rush, sometimes I dont, depends on how the base looks
Stormclash is not maxed

[teal wigeon]

i would honestly ditch stormclash for someone else

but if not then pair her with a combat that spews acid

[unkempt summit]

I might swap her out with SGJF depending on how things go, right now I dont really have a solid reason to

[gilded nacelle]

For which bot?

[unkempt summit]

any I guess

Tracks has Prima and Flak btw

[gilded nacelle]

Tigerhawk would do well with enhanced ordinance and a gun combat

Pyra gets either rejuv or trylithium plating and a melee combat

I think you can figure out wheeljack

Blaster has a couple of different options but that would depend on your strategy for him

[unkempt summit]

Tigerhawk - RC and Trenchfoot
Pyra - TP and Bashbreaker
WJ - G1 and Zaur
Blaster - G1 and Roadburner

Current Combats in Use: 5 and 4 Red Heat, 5 Spoilsport, 4 Windstrike, 4 Trip Up, 4 Zaur, 4 Sheeldron, 3 Rattrap

[gilded nacelle]

Okay

[bleak lily]

Best C.O.M.B.A.T. for Nem prime? i was told Fracas but i only have him as a 2*

[gilded nacelle]

He does fine with most gun combats

I'd save fracas for your best gunner or air bot

[grim plinth]

Singe exists for air
