General Strategy & Help!

[valid gate]

Now that I have 4 star Warpath, I can’t help but wonder…

For my A team, which doesn’t currently picture, but includes Ratchet and Rook, would Seaspray or Warpath be the better choice to be placed on the team?

[teal wigeon]

Both

[valid gate]

So they’re both equally good? Gotcha. Good to know.

[split saffron]

Not such thing here as equally good. Each of these bots has its uses and key is to understand how to use them.

[teal wigeon]

Seaspray good for disrupting lasers while dealing damage

Warpath has infinite range and hits everything in a line

[ocean oar]

Seasprays damage path is wider but not as long. Better for spaced out defenses in a path. warpath hits the whole map length but is more narrow, only adjacent builds width. So depends on the layout one can out perform the other.

[valid gate]

@teal wigeon @ocean oar Sounds like I have a lot to consider. I have Top Heavy and Warpath’s G1 core on him. For Seaspray’s build, what core and combat is recommended for him?

[teal wigeon]

VM + Nightstick is a good combo

or the rust blaster but then you want to put him on a team with topshot and nightstick

[valid gate]

That actually raises a good question. Who IS the rust blaster best used with?

[teal wigeon]

not a bot per say

just with other combats

[valid gate]

I meant more generally, not so much specifically Seaspray, but good to know.

[teal wigeon]

rust blaster good with fire and acid bots

electric too but acid blocks healing and acid + fire combo is a great damage dealer

[valid gate]

Cool. Good to know.

[fallen pebble]

Solid team?

[teal wigeon]

armada is good damage dealer but i would put an aerial instead of him

either that or another gunner

[brisk swift]

I need a second rush warrior 5*. I already have Headstrong/Pipes. Who will be the better option for my B squad - Bludgeon/Ironhide or Razorclaw/Grimlock?

[hard coyote]

Ironhide

[teal wigeon]

Ironhide by a mile

[brisk swift]

Has anyone used Cosmic Rust Blaster with Prima core?

[gilded nacelle]

I'm sure somebody has

[brisk swift]

And how is the result?

[gilded nacelle]

Couldn't say. I've never tried it

[split saffron]

CRB is still single target so not the best idea. Keep Prima with Flak

[brisk swift]

Thanks!

[smoky merlin]

Who are some of the best bots for prima core?

[split saffron]

Some popular picks are SG Jetfire, Tracks, Slingshot, Blades. Generally, you want to put it on a bot that may not need some very specific core and can use Flak (combat) as that will do AOE damage and affect more targets with Prima.

Though you can use it on just about anyone who fits that role. Hoist, some triple changers, heck even Bumblebee.

[gaunt wolf]

Yeah! I use Prima on my Springer, it does wonders

[gilded nacelle]

Prima is also good with skyburst. She doesn't even need flak

[brisk marsh]

Which 5* should I open? Thinking 10 atm

[split saffron]

10

[brisk marsh]

Yeah I’ll pop that one

[grim plinth]

What did you get?

[jolly shell]

9

[brisk marsh]

Pulled Minerva

Tryna figure out setup now

Thinking GM ray boosters with either kunai zaur or sidetrack

[jolly shell]

Best in the batch

[brisk marsh]

Absolutely

Didn’t have a 5* medic either

Been leaning heavy on 4* wheeljack tbh

[jolly shell]

Wheelie is good too

[split saffron]

Alpha Trion, otherwise Ray Boosters. Combat either Rung or Trip Up. Kunai messes with her healing and only works well on Wheeljack.

[brisk marsh]

Yeah I got trip up and trion on wheeljack rn

Think I’ll keep ray boosters on Minerva but I’m definitely stealing trip up off him

[teal wigeon]

Kunai is meant for WJ so yeah def take off trip up until you get kunai

[brisk swift]

I've seen screenshots with the new UI from the stream. Is it just interface cosmetics or is there going to be some improvements in graphics, texture resolution etc?

[grim plinth]

I believe loading screens will be shorter

[prisma robin]

This bot good, and if so, what's a setup for her?

[split saffron]

Her G1 and a companion like Big Daddy or Sidetrack. Works wonders as outpost and very solid pick on offense.

[prisma robin]

👍

[gilded nacelle]

G1 core. Melee combat on offense. A companion on defense

[last acorn]

Combat and core?

[gilded nacelle]

G1 core and a gun combat. I like nightstick but there are multiple good choices

[last acorn]

Is cosmic rust blaster good?

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on what other bots are on the same squad

[brisk swift]

Is it better to put my 5* Buzzstrike on 5* Pipes or 5* Roadbuster? It is currently on Pipes, but I've heard that putting him on Roadbuster changes his pathing and increases his survivability

[gilded nacelle]

I haven't bothered trying with roadbuster but buzzstrike + megatronus on pipes is very effective

[brisk swift]

And what to put on Roadbuster? I have Bashbreaker on him now. May be Axe Bird would be better?

[gilded nacelle]

I gave him a companion. All I need from roadbuster is to get him close to a target and use his ability on it

[brisk swift]

I see. Thanks

[frozen tree]

Roadbuster is a bit of a glass cannon, imo. So improving his survivability can't hurt, whether it's with a core or a combat.

[gaunt wolf]

His changes when he got added into the latest batch do help his survivability though

[frozen tree]

Yes, he is better than he started out, but still needs help imo. Because of his speed, he tends to run ahead of the group and gets blasted to hell.

[gaunt wolf]

Yeah, other than that, extremely solid bot

[gilded nacelle]

This is actually one reason why I prefer a companion for him. Don't want to lose a good combat if he dies

But a companion will remain

[grim plinth]

yeah I run tonbot on my Halfshell

[nimble coral]

Some people use Buzzstrike to keep him away from defenses

[shut finch]

This is true, also works with bashbreaker

But I still got Zaur on him lol

[nimble coral]

lol

[glass warren]

https://www.reddit.com/r/TransformersEarthWars/s/p7FdeDce3S

[woeful olive]

Welp, I got a 5 star Sixgun
Idk if I should replace my 4 star Sixgun on my B team, or to put him on my A team instead of my 5 star Jetfire

A squad

[gilded nacelle]

Jetfire and Sixgun have different functions. Which one you use depends on the base and your strategy

[woeful olive]

B squad (I put my Seaspray on dispatch, and I have Red Alert on there while my BW Ironhide is being researched)

[woeful olive]

On one hand, SG Jetfire does the role that Jetfire has, but better
But it is nice to have two bots that do that

[gilded nacelle]

One argument for sixgun on your A team is to combo with skids for bonus damage.

But there are times when jetfire may be better. Especially for point management.

[woeful olive]

Both are true

Well, my B team could probably use a 5 star to be somewhat on par with A team

[frozen tree]

I'll bet your A Team loves it when a plan comes together.

[teal wigeon]

easy get rid of smokescreen

[woeful olive]

That would help a lot with raids
But Smoke helps in case there's a problematic outpost bot *cough cough* Fellbat

But I'm familiar with bots becoming obsolete

[split saffron]

Just use a sac

[mint turtle]

Well I'd normally be offended by someone taking BreakNeck / Smoke off their team but if you're replacing a 4 star gunner with a 5 it does seem logical.

[last acorn]

Build?

[gilded nacelle]

If on offense then I'd go with a melee combat. He's a good candidate for the quintus/ptera combo

If on defense then g1 core and a companion

[last acorn]

I don't got quintus's prime

So what build on offense then?

[glacial siren]

Nexus, Micronus, Rejuvenate.
G1 is alright for offense, not great but decent.

[brisk marsh]

Anyone that’s part of the g1 family have an alliance with a 10-12k min? Classes heavy but can do more when time allows, closer to 20 when I’m not busy

[split saffron]

Go to #1068598993321476176 or #1068595857211019357

[mint turtle]

What is considered optimal Deathsaurus equip?

[glacial siren]

Living Metal Destoying Cannon + Tigerchest.

Some players opt to use Megatronus, but there’s more consistent options out there. Liege can work too if hacks are a problem.

[mint turtle]

Yeah Megatronus was the old way I remember. But his combat gives him range now so I was wondering. Thanks!

[shut finch]

Quintus + Ptera
or Micronus and Ptera

For defense you may use his G1 and a companion, those I would suggest you use the two setups above

[shut finch]

You can use this for time-being, until u get Quintus

Try to give him a better Ptera tho

[remote root]

How would an op bot combo of Slash/TT/Red Aler/Dinobot be

[teal wigeon]

i get TT and Red alert, the others are fine on their own

[gilded nacelle]

I'm not terribly impressed with dinobot as an outpost bot. I've seen him a lot but he was never really a problem with me.

Admittedly, I've never used him alongside red alert

[split saffron]

TT and Red are a staple so they are a huge W. Slash needs her G1, otherwise don't use and Dino is pretty nice too though he will slow you down rather than kill.

[frozen tree]

It depends on your total outpost setup. Dinobot combined with Blaster, Gnaw and Rook or Arcee creates a swarm setup that can be quite successful, especially if placed near your combiner outpost.

[brisk swift]

And who will be the most ruinous annoying and hard to kill 4 outpost bots in current meta? Your opinions, guys

[split saffron]

Red Alert probably. Unkillable for 10 seconds while also providing entire base with 50% damage reduction and stun immunity.

On a base that has Prime cores that is just nasty.

[brisk swift]

Didn't know that RA's ability affects the entire base. I can have 5* Red Alert as a guaranteed pull, but I would like to wait for the new batch announcement. How much time do you think it will take to find out all the 5 bots from the 14th batch?

[gilded nacelle]

Unless all those minions can be hacked

[split saffron]

He's an absolute must have for sweats in PLHM so definetly consider it. He can be a real pain.

For new batch, maybe couple of weeks. 2 endurance bots will be Scylla and Full-Tilt, community vote seems to be Sea Phantom. None of those will make as much impact as Red Alert/Runamuck so I'd definetly go for him.

[split saffron]

Dino's can't be hacked, while others can last I checked. Hence Dino's popularity in higher leagues.

[brisk swift]

I guess Red Alert is useful both for defence and also for offence. Is it better to equip him with his G1 or may be with Liege? As for the new batch, I thought Scylla was a PL war bot...

[split saffron]

Scylla has potential, but we'll have to see what she'll get as a 5*.

[gilded nacelle]

We already know what she will get as a 5* because she was released last year. Mine is only level 61 because I don't care for her but this is high enough to give you an idea

[split saffron]

No, I mean there is a chance something could be changed when her 5* will be releasing for the batch. Same way as it did with Roadbuster. While she's good compared to pre buff Roadbuster, nothing is certain.

[brisk swift]

And what core and combat on Red Alert is a universal consensus?

[split saffron]

He's pretty flexible actually. Companion combat like Big Daddy, Sidetrack, Zaur or Airazor work wonders. As for the core, Liege or G1. He's got options so someone may have a great success with a totally different core.

[gilded nacelle]

I don't know that there's a universal consensus but his g1 core is good

If used on defense I'd go with a companion

[brisk swift]

Thank you. Those were the cores I was thinking about. Fortunately I have most of those companions

[brisk swift]

Thanks. I also think that g1 extra health and shield are pretty solid

[mint turtle]

My Runamuck has g1 and Fracas (red alert / nightstick) no complaints so far.

[teal wigeon]

ngl dinobot is one i wouldnt mind NOT being a warrior

needs high damage along with high health

he already doesnt get absorption or regen as a warrior so why bother

[shut finch]

Depends on his setup and the base layout, he is a good "tank", and can do good damage if used right.

Mine will be way better when I give him Amal.

[gilded nacelle]

Eh. I mainly just pair him with Smokey for events

[last acorn]

What bots are good with liege maximo?

[jolly shell]

Rush bots like pipes, blurr, ironhide, but also rook

[last acorn]

Ok I use him on pipes

Thanks

[jolly shell]

You bet

[timid plank]

I have 5* Rhinox at SA11. Which of these 5* bots should i take to SA11 next: Dinobot, Rust Dust, Opt Primal, Goldfire, Jazz, First Aid, Ultra Mag, Strafe, or Sixgun?

[teal wigeon]

dont even put Ultra Mag in that sentence bro

do you have 5 star LOP?

[gilded nacelle]

I'd go rust dust or sixgun

[teal wigeon]

rust dust mid

def sixgun

[timid plank]

No LOP

[teal wigeon]

ah RIP then def Sixgun

[jolly shell]

Bruh

[teal wigeon]

skids is the better version

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jolly shell]

Yeah but like

Put em together

And bam

I have both 5*s lol

[teal wigeon]

well yeah true

[gilded nacelle]

Rust dust is a better buddy for skids than sixgun because rusty's ability is cheaper

[gaunt wolf]

Optimal Optimus:

[mint turtle]

What your opinion on Crankcase? I wanna try for 5 star Knockout, Crankcase is the only one in that batch I'm not sure about. Legacy 12.

[nimble coral]

very good bot

the boost and the healing are insane

[gilded nacelle]

Our opinion of a bot that gives your squad a 100% speed boost and also heals?

That's... good?

Especially if you want healing for your squad but can't use a medic for cyber pass quests

[mint turtle]

Nice. I've only got a 3 star, literally never sent any version of him out on the field lol. I wasn't playing when they were released so had no opinion at all. Appreciate the feedback. Sounds like a safe batch to pull from!

[ocean oar]

Last I checked I wasnt convinced Crankcase was giving the proper speed buff. I’ve left mine to rot until I feel confident his buff is working

[charred swift]

What’s the best abilities to have active on each Titan?

[jade surge]

Does his G1 work well with Rung? Because Rung makes him not use his beam

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on your strategy, squads and whether the titan is on offense or defense

[jolly shell]

Just use kunai if you can. Better anyway

[jade surge]

I don't have a 4/5 star Kunai yet

[jade surge]

I meant, does his G1 still increase his regular healing amount if I pair him with Rung? It says it increases his "heal beam." Technically, it shouldn't work if it isn't a healing beam, but I just want to make sure

[glacial siren]

It seems, yes.

The attack speed boost likely only applies to his healing target through.

[jade surge]

Thanks,

they should replace the "heal beam" words with "regular heal", because it increases his regular healing (in any way)

[last acorn]

Build?

[split saffron]

V Lock and Victory Leo

[teal wigeon]

Give him his stuff basically

Also SA11

[gaunt wolf]

Seriously considering getting him to SA11 as a 4*

[fallen pebble]

No that’s the only way star saber becomes decent enough

[jade surge]

Is this meant to say, "Once Sentius's health is below 25%, all bots in the team gain 30% reflection"?

[gaunt wolf]

Nope. Just Sentius

[jade surge]

They shouldn't use "they", then

[split saffron]

Sword can be equipped to both Sentius twins, which is plural hence "they"

[jade surge]

Okay, but it was quite hard to understand for me because, from the beginning, it only mentions three subjects: the equipped bot, the enemies, and the allies. And then suddenly it said "they" after that sentence, so I thought "they" was for "the allies"

It will be easier to understand if they use "it" or "he" instead. IMO

Thank you for the explanation,

[shut finch]

grammar smh

[jade surge]

What do you mean?

[mint turtle]

Is there anywhere every 5 star batch is compiled? Like in one image or text? (besides looking at them individually in-game)

[glass warren]

@mint turtle

[jolly shell]

Bro that makes me so mad that they aren't matched up for counterparts

[nimble coral]

Lol

[glass warren]

You don't know the counterparts?

[split saffron]

They are in alphabetical order, but I see how some players may get confused.

[jolly shell]

No, I do, but others may not

[glass warren]

@jolly shell - Well thats why we have rivals sheets as well

[jolly shell]

Could just combine em....

[glass warren]

that's a big resource render.

These aren't statically generated, our bot foes it from our database and then generates the image (pre-AI Image generstors)

Though I suppose I could add a Counterpart by-line underneath

@jolly shell- But then again our datasheets have the rivals on them as well as the 5-Star batch

[jolly shell]

Sounds complicated lol

[mint turtle]

🙏Yoo I figured there was something out there. Thanks for sharing!

And additional thanks to whomever created all that

[brisk swift]

What core is more effective on Roadbuster - his G1 or may be Onyx or Alchemist?

[teal wigeon]

G1, save Onyx for BW ironhide and Alchemist for someone like Impactor or Optimal Optimus

[brisk swift]

Is Alchemist better on Optimal Optimus than his golden disc?

[gilded nacelle]

They do completely different things

Which one is "better" depends entirely on which core effect you want on him

Only you can answer that

[hard coyote]

If you have his gmetal disc then use it and use alcm on another bot , if you don't have his gmetal then use alcm

[brisk swift]

I understand, that "better" is a subjective assessment. I guess survivability is a key effect that most players want for their bots. Sometimes you put a prime core on your bot and it is ok. You put another and it is great, like it was meant to be for that very bot. So I thought someone had already experimented with different core variants and had come to the conclusion which one is more suitable

[glass warren]

welcome

[teal wigeon]

i would do his golden disc for that damage reflect but the revive is eh

i would put alchemist on impactor tbh

[solemn vine]

impactor has g1 core already

[brisk swift]

I see, thanks

[brisk swift]

And as for combat? I have Gabu/Bashbreaker on him now

[teal wigeon]

That's a good one

[smoky merlin]

Hey guys what’s the best combat for my 4* Warpath?

[split saffron]

Glitch or Top Heavy

[glass warren]

Unless there is a direct bot mentoned in the C.O.M.B.A.T. description or listed as a bot specific C.O.M.B.A.T., The "Best" fit is denoted by how yoi play, and the stragies you use

[teal wigeon]

Top heavy

[prisma robin]

Who's good with him?

[gilded nacelle]

One of your melee bots. Most likely a warrior or special class bot.

There's no one bot who is notably better with him than other bots. It largely comes down to who you have available and Sawtooth's place among your combat bots. In general, your best squad should get your best gear so if you don't have a lot of 5* combats then give him to one of your best bots

[prisma robin]

Yea he's my first 5 star combat rn so I was thinking maybe my 5 star rhinox?

[gilded nacelle]

You can do that

[teal wigeon]

what other 5 star you got? just wondering

[jolly shell]

Not in the free crystal?

[prisma robin]

None

[teal wigeon]

then yeah good plan

[tepid siren]

Which 5 star minibot is most recommended

[gilded nacelle]

Ummm... that would depend on a number of details that are specific to your situation

Firstly, by "minibot" are you only referring to companions or all combat bots in general?

[tepid siren]

In general

[gilded nacelle]

Okay then. That depends if you want to emphasize offense or defense. If you want to bolster a gunner, air bot, warrior, medic or whatever.

Do you want to inflict elemental damage on enemies or protect your bots from status effects? Is there a certain bot you want to give a combat to?

There are a lot of combat bots and many are specialized for specific purposes

[tepid siren]

So rather complicated I guess sheesh lots of thinking and considering comparing on strategy

[gilded nacelle]

This is a strategy game. There are lots of factors to consider

[tepid siren]

Yes that I can agree upon

[mint turtle]

On offense I think it's safe to say Fracas / Nightstick is the best all around. Fits on tons of bots and brings lots of important factors to the table. But different combats fit on different classes for a reason and defense makes companions more valuable.

But having Nightstick isn't a silver bullet on offense. At the end of the day you field a dynamic team of bots which are allowed to equip different combats. It's correct to say there is not one best combat or bot necessarily

[split saffron]

Out of guns, Nightstick is best hands down. Provides DPS increase, heals, does AOE and it's acid on top of it all. Also puts user at very long range which is beneficial for bots with high ability range, but fragile HP.

[shut finch]

also remember all star ratings of Nightstick/Fracas give the same healing

[remote root]

I still have no idea where to put Nexus

Do I throw it on Dinobot or Slingshot (until I get Prima) or is someone else better for it

[grim plinth]

Im putting mine on Halfshell

[smoky merlin]

I put my Nexus on Minerva because he is on my war team and raid team so my combiner will always get the % bump on attacks.

[teal wigeon]

on Chromia

[glass warren]

I put Solus on Chromia/Fellbet

[last acorn]

Who is fit for this core?

[gilded nacelle]

I'd give it to bots who don't have their own g1/boy specific core

[last acorn]

What are some good suggestions?

[gilded nacelle]

I just gave you some!

I used to have mine on blades before he got a g1 core. Now I have it on hoist

But for you... as always, that depends on what bots you have and how you've allocated your other cores

[last acorn]

Idk what bot got g1 core or not man lol😂

But anyways thanks

[mint turtle]

Well if you click on a bot and click on their core equip spot it shows you which cores that bot can equip. You may see that you own a g1 core for that bot. Or if not g1 some bots have their own unique cores. Usually if bots have something unique to them it's probably optimal.

If you don't see any special cores then Nexus (or another prime core) is probably a reasonable fit. That said I don't even use Nexus on anyone lol.

[turbid flume]

vector core?

[gilded nacelle]

Yes

[turbid flume]

is it good

[gilded nacelle]

Yes

[shut finch]

Use it on a sac bot, such as Blurr or Afterbreaker

Bot also returns to team after sacing

The heck how're you getti.g this knowledge

[glass warren]

I drink, and I know thingw

[gaunt wolf]

Hmmmm

This isn't one of those things where Dale or Maral told you in that special channel for old VIP members was it?

[glass warren]

I'm not rven in that channel, so the answer is no

[smoky merlin]

This weekend I happened to have Ultra Magnus and Air Raid on the same squad and stumbled into Magnus triggering Air Raids attack. Who else works with Air Raid?

[teal wigeon]

brawn

[mint turtle]

Any one-shotter really. But also Titans.

[gilded nacelle]

Any high damage bot

[dark sun]

Airraid requires SA11 to work with brawn @smoky merlin

[lyric fossil]

What HQ lvl can lvl 15 ruin solo?

[split saffron]

Zone 14 if 3*

If 4* then it can do Z15, though not super consistently

[smoky merlin]

Why doesn’t Sky lynx get any love? I just saw a 4* clear out a hq 17 base eliminating all clusters then being followed up by Elita 1 it looked pretty impressive!

[split saffron]

Sky Lynx is a farm bot. He has his fans. Later on you'll learn that soloing HQ17 isn't a big deal, but how bots perform in wars.

[nimble coral]

Hq 17 solo is easy nowadays lol

[mint turtle]

Sky Lynx is nice. Pretty versatile and good range too. But he suffers how most AoE bots suffer where once clusters are out of one-shot range they lose a ton of value, especially him being a melee bot as well. If he can one-shot aoe in a zone then yeah he can wreck a base.

[smoky merlin]

Yeah I started playing this past Summer so I’m new. I’m still trying to lock down a strategy that I like.

[mint turtle]

Is there value in bombshell / perceptor in a caminus league setting? Not sure if I should take mine to 61+ or just leave him at 60 for cyber raids.

[gilded nacelle]

That would be somewhat base dependent

If someone is silly enough to put megatronus on an auto cannon or another hackable defense, sure, Bombshell is useful

But if someone is using anti-hack cores or has unhackable shock towers, bombshell may be a little less useful

[mint turtle]

Yeah I suppose I would have to learn when and where to deploy him. Okay that makes sense. He used to be so good before I took a break from the game but the meta is much different now heh.

[teal wigeon]

nah cuz even my lvl 20 has issues with z15

z15 is broken

i would tell em 100% z14

[dark sun]

It can do z15 "not super consistently"

[gaunt wolf]

List of bots that can use the new COMBATS, made by me!

[remote root]

Oh Enerax is also compatible with melee triple changers?

Interesting.

[gaunt wolf]

Yep. Just Sky Lynx though

[remote root]

Well to be fair there are no other melee triple changers either so

[grim plinth]

Lmao of course

He needs it too

[teal wigeon]

you could be a good car salesman with that

it works

just not super consistently

[brisk swift]

Why does Huffer's G1 core have Drift icon? Is it a new trend of the upcoming UI? Like Runamuck's G1 has Impactor on it..

[solemn vine]

is it available yet?

and send a ticket in game

[gilded nacelle]

Obviously a visual glitch

[nimble coral]

the pic he sent is the one from #┊📣・community_projects lol

[solemn vine]

sorry, i didn't see it in that channel

[hard coyote]

Hey I wanna ask, when will these changes will come ?

Any hint or prediction

[split saffron]

No ETA at all

Basically when Dale feels like it's ready.

[brisk swift]

And the one with Runamuck's G1 depicting Impactor has existed since the release of the latest cores

[prisma robin]

So I've had impactor for a bit and I noticed just now that ppl say his g1 is not good, so I'm wondering what a good setup is for him? I currently have his g1 and ptera on him

[teal wigeon]

amal or alchemist

put pter somewhere else

[prisma robin]

Don't have either
Which combat should I replace ptera with?

[teal wigeon]

imo he doesnt really need one just give em a good companion

put ptera on blaster or rhinox or dinobot

[remote root]

What's the talk abt impactor's g1 being bad?

[teal wigeon]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[prisma robin]

Is it actually good or what?

[grim plinth]

Messes up his pathing a bit. I still believe it’s good

But there are other cores you would rather have on Impact

[remote root]

huh i had no idea impactor's g1 changed his pathing

apparently the quick blast attack does more than quick blast?

either way I've never noticed it

[grim plinth]

No the core itself doesn’t

It’s the blast

He wouldn’t walk places he would normally walk

[remote root]

he just runs off sometimes?

[grim plinth]

I can’t explain it

[last acorn]

Build?

[split saffron]

G1 and gun

[gilded nacelle]

Agree.

Unless you're power leveling for a day in which case he's good with lagoon core

[mint turtle]

I threw a 2s Nightstick / Fracas on my DeadEnd and found it helps him do his job a bit better. Depending on the base obviously.

[smoky merlin]

How are you guys using bumblebee in wars?

[fallen pebble]

Nope

[kind arrow]

I don’t think he would be classified as a war bot

[split saffron]

He loses relevance after you start fighting bases above HQ17

[brisk swift]

What are your thoughts, guys, on the new batch and its war relevance?

[split saffron]

Very relevant.

Ariel basically replaces Optimus.

Inferno makes your bots melt things.

Tigerhawk is like Swoop, but hits a lot harder and has slowdown instead of stun.

Whirl is super cheap and his acid ability takes out BBs. Also acid. His missiles are comparable to damage jets do.

Brawn is the dud of thr batch. He's amazing if targets are/can be stunned, but very niche bot compared to the rest.

[brisk swift]

Pulled Tigerhawk. Was rather upset. I thought he was the dud of the batch. Is he worth the investments? Wanted Inferno or Ariel. Whirl would also be good, as he's a combiner bot

[split saffron]

Will probably become Outpost meta and honestly, he hits like a truck and that slowdown is really effective against things that can't be stunned.

[brisk swift]

Do you see him as a defence only bot or would he also be useful on offence?

[split saffron]

On offense he works great at taking out popped outbost bots and clustered defenses due to nature of his ability.

[nimble coral]

his ability can one shot 4 buildings

[teal wigeon]

replaces optimus? imma disagree with that one

[split saffron]

How come?

[teal wigeon]

she can fight her away to HQ amping her team but once their pathing goes away from her range thats it, Optimus has infinite rally range

she isnt terrible

just not the same

you gotta use her as soon as you deploy

[split saffron]

That is literally only adventage Optimus has. Besides, it isn't an issue at all if you understand pathing and know what you're doing.

[teal wigeon]

SA11 gives you a shield

¯_(ツ)_/¯

bro is goated

but she is still really good

[split saffron]

She does as well lol

Also is 4+0

You haven't checked her updates?

She got buffed

[teal wigeon]

ah the hierachy has changed

i have both anyways so no biggie for me

[split saffron]

5 star gives 40% damage increase and damage reduction, is 4+0, has default stun immunity, huge health pool

[teal wigeon]

stun immunity?

where?

if so then she might edge out OP

[split saffron]

Here

[gilded nacelle]

Warrior class bots can get a stun immunity perk

[teal wigeon]

oh snap never saw that

[teal wigeon]

they need to make OP a warrior asap

bro practically acts like one

[mint turtle]

Special bot stun immunity when? Make Special Bots Great Again.

Jk special bots dominated meta for like 6 years or so.

[nimble coral]

Special bots don't need stun immunity lol

They're already good what they are

[smoky merlin]

Is a 4* combat Trenchfoot and Cosmic Rust Blaster better than a 3* Nightstick?

[glacial siren]

No.

[smoky merlin]

What about 2* Nightstick?

[glacial siren]

Only difference between 2 and 3 Star Nightsticks is the DPS Increase. I’m actually using the 2 Star Nightstick on my B Team.
Trench and Cosmic Rust Blaster are still fine choices, they just need to be paired with an another bot with Nightstick or Topshot.

[smoky merlin]

Thank you

[gaunt wolf]

That, or a bot with fire/acid abilities.
My CRB is on a team woth Optimal Optimus and Skids (the guy who has it equipped)

[brisk swift]

What's the quantity of 5* shards dropping from the 4* copy of Huffer this event?

[split saffron]

180

All 4* dupes drop 180. Only exception to the rule are Anniverssary crystals that drop 500 if you own all 4* bots

[teal wigeon]

CRB is meh

[brisk swift]

Yeah I know, but I thought it was the case. I own all the 4* bots and I was hoping for 500. May be I understood something wrong about this event or SA has changed that the last moment

[prisma robin]

What's a good build for him? I've heard he's good for raids

[gilded nacelle]

Maybe for low level bases or easy raids. I don't think he is great for hard raids

I'd give him EO core and a gun combat

[prisma robin]

At my current position in the game, my alliance only does easy raids so that's assuring to hear. Thanks for the suggestion for a build as well👍

[teal wigeon]

EO, don't waste a combat on him

[brisk swift]

Whom would you choose for captain rank first - Pipes, Roadbuster, Twin Twist or Minerva?

[gilded nacelle]

If you want to emphasize defense, twintwist

If you want to optimize offense, Pipes

But it's most difficult to promote medics organically because there are so few of them. So Minerva is a valid choice too

[brisk swift]

Thanks. As I understood Roadbuster isn't a good option?

[gilded nacelle]

He's pretty popular in prime league. Ability is a bit expensive for my tastes

[split saffron]

A lot of people went for Minerva, myself included because she's basically a must if you want to be consistent in wars.

[gilded nacelle]

Eh, depends on strategy. I don't use medics and consistently score 300 in war

[remote root]

curious, why do people run trip-up on minerva

i've seen a lot of them on her but i've not seen a lot of justification for why

[split saffron]

She increases whole team's speed which means everyone near Trip Up will attack that much faster which in turn will make them deal more damage. Same thing applies to Minerva as she will heal more from her normal "attacks"

[gilded nacelle]

Because medics tend to stay back and near gunners (or other class bots who are using gun combats).

Putting tripup on a medic often gives the speed bonus to multiple bots

[teal wigeon]

Minerva is my first and currently only Captain rank

[prisma robin]

I've made a bad decision but I've heard he's good so what's a good combat for him?

[prisma robin]

Forgot to note: I already know shields are good with him but are there any alternatives to them

[gilded nacelle]

I mean, your strategy for him is going to influence your loadout

But if you don't want to use a shield then melee combats can work for him

[teal wigeon]

Pair him with rodimus and red alert

[smoky merlin]

I have been hearing good things about Inferno but I feel like I am forcing him into my team. What’s the benefit of him being with Rodimus and Red alert?

[teal wigeon]

their abilities affect everyone at the same time

[teal wigeon]

so if you have Optimus on the same team as those guys you can deal great damage while keeping the team together

[smoky merlin]

Thank you

[brisk swift]

Try Quintus+Pteraxodon

[smoky merlin]

Why does my hq 15 base gets attacked by squads with Titans so often?

[grim plinth]

Because it gives quite a bit of titan XP

You won’t understand it until you get a titan tbh

[glass warren]

Tje Cosmic Rust Blaster hances elemental Damage, Fire Electtic Acid fkr etc

@smoky merlin
https://youtu.be/vDwkYXLojTA

[tepid siren]

Which 5 star combat bots should I go for

[gilded nacelle]

Um, that's a very broad question. Depends on what bots you want to equip, your strategy and what issues you are currently facing

[tepid siren]

Weird that high rank players don't seem to have stasis mines or helio-harvester ? Why?

[gilded nacelle]

Helio harvester is a liability

[tepid siren]

What??!!!

[tepid siren]

It increases energon harvesters by 100% also what about stasis mines???

[gilded nacelle]

Extra energon isn't worth the added liability. Energon is easy to get

[tepid siren]

Oh I'm gussing cause of the ability points it gives but I have mine already so I can't like delete it duo but again what about the stasis mines? Aren't they helpful? Little helps ? Right ?

[gilded nacelle]

I use stasis mines. I'm not the person to ask about not using those.

Not only does the helio harvester give attackers extra ability points, it is another potential points for rush strategy

When helio harvester was first announced most veteran players rolled their eyes at it and advised their alliances not to use it

[tepid siren]

Thanks a lot yes this helps I figure why not use stasis so that is good to have , unfortunately I didn't understand such a thing when I did do it I think u might get some cyber coin or some triumph complete or something for building it but guess I am stuck with it and Phreaphs that is why I can lost much more compare to a similar level base without one

[mint turtle]

Why not use mines? I mean stun is a bit outdated but there's cores for glass gas etc. Curious why not.

[woeful olive]

Anyone got a good hq17 layout?

My layout needs to be updated asap

[split saffron]

17 and 18

[woeful olive]

Thanks

Wait where's the combiner beacon

Nvm I see it

Not the most visually appealing base, but if it functions well, I'll take it

[shut finch]

Build bots and Mds make all the difference on this layout.

[woeful olive]

I completely forgot that you could upgrade build bots

[solemn vine]

and you can equip core after buildbots get lv2

[woeful olive]

Nice

[nimble coral]

a base with bad buildbot placement is an easy walk

[tepid siren]

I was 30 points 2970 out 3000 when did season end yet 2 days to claim.... I can't do noting to get thos skins any way ?

[gilded nacelle]

Season ended at same time the event did

You won't be able to get the skins unless SA makes them available again in the future

[tepid siren]

Sadge...

I wasn't aware didn't notice the time left there stull 2 days left, but for claims you know maybe I'd get on the game before everything and maybe would of made it depends on the time zons

[brisk swift]

Is 5* Whirl PL HM war worthy?

[split saffron]

Haven't personally used him there, but I'd say yes because he can basically replace Slingshot. His acid ability destroys BBs in one shot, hits multiple targets and has great range. Also stands from afar.

You can take this with a grain of salt however.

[nimble coral]

Yes if you know how to use him

[brisk swift]

And do you know that secret?

[nimble coral]

What secret lol

It just depends on your playstyle

And the squad

If they have good synergy with Whirl, Whirl can be destructive I believe

[prisma robin]

Yo what's a good build for this optimistic guy

[gilded nacelle]

Yo his golden disk core yo

Yo yo yo whether to give him a melee combat or a companion depends on your strategy and what you have available. There are no combats that work notably better with him so you have lots of options yo

[split saffron]

On offense I tested that Alchemist Prime and Bashbreaker make him a damage monster that heals himself and overall performs the best.

On defense you'd want his Golden Disk and a companion, powerful one like Big Daddy, Sidetrack, Airazor or Zaur.

[prisma robin]

😂 yo yo thanks yo😂

[teal wigeon]

bashbreaker

oh i forgot the yo

[prisma robin]

Yo can't forgot the yo

[odd pecan]

He's like paper though, easily killed.

[split saffron]

How when he has more HP than likes of LOP, Optimal, Red Alert... etc?

Besides, when we used him on Playtest server he was outstanding outpost and all testers decided he is hands down worth getting for outpost.

[dark sun]

Yep he's a good outpost choice now

[prisma robin]

No idea if she's good or not. Is she worth lvling?

[gilded nacelle]

As is usually the case, depends largely on your strategy. She's good at using her ability to pop enemy outposts. And her holo can also disable defenses nearly indefinitely so long as no other defenses are attacking the holo

[split saffron]

She's a decent bot. Basically worse version of Rook.

[teal wigeon]

Good but you will forget her once you have rook

[brisk swift]

What 5* combat to prefer? I have Windstrike left in the batch or should I wait for Enerax, the new axe-bird combat? Or may be it is worth waiting for 5* Sword of Balance. But it seems to be a really long wait...

[gilded nacelle]

Ummm.... we'd need more details to properly answer that for you.

What bot are you looking to equip? What's your strategy with said bot/combat?

Do you have a 5* or at least 4 star malus? If yes, then you're a few months away from that being purchasable with chips (at best)

Windstrike and Enerax have lots of potential. But which one is best for YOU depends on the bot, your strategy and what is fun for you

[brisk swift]

I have a 5* Malus. But I 'm afraid it would take months to wait for that combat weapon to be purchasable with chips. Windstrike vs Enerax... I know the latter isn't equipable with warriors. And I have many of them - Pipes, Rook, Twin Twist, Dinobot, Inferno. As for specials - in my main team I only have Malus with 4* Sword and Red Alert with 5* Fracas. I guess Windstrike would be more versatile and helpful in my case...

[smoky merlin]

I just got 5* Ariel any build recommendations?

[gilded nacelle]

G1 core and a melee combat

[brisk swift]

What is the priority candidate for captain rank - Roadbuster, Inferno or Red Alert?

[gilded nacelle]

For me, it would be

#1 Red Alert

#2 Inferno

#3 Roadbuster

But your strategy and play style may differ from mine

[brisk swift]

That was my exact list. Glad it coincided with yours and proved my intentions

[unkempt summit]

Good loadout?

[nimble coral]

You shouldn't ask

[gilded nacelle]

It can work. But Bumblebee doesn't have much health so rejuv won't give him as much value as it would on a tank. I'd also put Flak on a jet or a gunner.

I'd give him attack core.

[unkempt summit]

Jetfire is running Prima + 3s Topshot and Blades has 5s Nightstick
I guess Attack makes sense cause Flak

And I... Still dont have Seaspray

[gilded nacelle]

You should be running Flak and prima together

[prisma robin]

Who works well with amalgamous

[gaunt wolf]

Any good idea on who Onyx would work well with?

[gilded nacelle]

Ideally you want that on a bot with an ability that does lots of damage for an extended period of time

Twintwist is one example

[gilded nacelle]

Do you think it would be good to put a core that boosts damage from regular attacks on bots with high dps?

[prisma robin]

Would impactor work?

I have twin twist but I feel I use impactor more

[gilded nacelle]

I personally think twintwist with amalgamous is awesome. It's what I use

As for impactor, would you say his ability lasts a long time? Remember that amalgamous core benefits come while the bot is in alt mode

Impactor ability: 10 seconds

Twintwist ability: 20 seconds

[prisma robin]

You've got a point, maybe I'll try tt with amal then

[brisk swift]

What are the disadvantages of using 5* Kunai on 5* Minerva?

[gilded nacelle]

Well, you won't get the full benefit of Kunai's abilities. That's the main thing. It's like using 50% of a bot's potential

I don't particularly care for Kunai as I think his dagger throw slows the medic down. But if if that doesn't bother you then feel free to use him with Minerva

[brisk swift]

Thank you for the response, I had a dispute with my teammate. I said that Kunai on Minerva decreases his healing ability compared to Rung. And he told that it's not true. May be I'm mistaking...

[gilded nacelle]

Minerva is a "she"

No Adam's apple

[brisk swift]

I know that. I am a con player. And had Flatline in mind. Was stuck in conversions

[smoky merlin]

I have mine on Pipes to increase his damage.

[gilded nacelle]

If you have megatronus, try that on pipes

[teal wigeon]

BW ironhide

or pipes

[unkempt summit]

My Onyx on Pyra Magma, whos on my secondary team. This is cause Sideswipe has Vector

Onyx isn't like a lightswitch, so once you proc it it'll last until the bot dies.

[shut finch]

Sideswipe, Bw Ironhide, Dinobot, etc

Works good on warriors usually, ofc the Megatronus, Liege, etc setups are better

[smoky merlin]

I don’t have it yet.

[unkempt summit]

So I got Solus PC💀
Bro what do I do with this-

[remote root]

burn it

throw it on some guy you don't use

[gilded nacelle]

Doesn't matter too much. But definitely not one of your top bots

[teal wigeon]

Huffer

he isnt garbage now but just meh

[wicked ice]

Nah he could put heal or damage so no point

[wicked ice]

Don’t even put it on someone

Maybe a 3*

[prisma robin]

Which bots would work best with a corporal boost

I got 2 corporals

[gilded nacelle]

We'd need details before we can give an honest answer

[prisma robin]

The only corporal bots I have atm are tigerhawk and the dinobots from the dinogate bundle

Everyone else is private

[gilded nacelle]

That doesn't really help

Questions to ask yourself:

What bots help your favorite strategies?

What bots do you have that are 4 star or 5 star?

Do you often use bots whose abilities are impacted by dps/health boosts?

Are you f2p? If so, medics and triple changers are good candidates since they are relatively small groups and so it's harder to get individual shards for them

[prisma robin]

I think I got some ideas for bots now. I'll keep these questions in mind for future rank upgrades. thanks

[vital bison]

I use mine on one of my 5-star gunners that don’t already have a good G1 core. With their slow, walk-thru pathing, it’s like adding 15% damage to an already powerful attack, plus it in theory should receive at least some damage meant for your bot.

[charred swift]

What are generally good combats for lugnut/Elita

[glacial siren]

Catgut, Fireglide, Lancelon.

[gilded nacelle]

Melee combats

[brisk swift]

Where is combat batch #6? The one with Windstrike and Trip-Up. I can't see it

[remote root]

idk at this point

all i know is that it somehow got deleted today and that maybe Space Ape will register this as an issue and put it back

[charred swift]

Would Liege be better on 5 star Unicronus or Blot?

[gilded nacelle]

Personally I wouldn't use it on either

But if I had to choose one of those two, I'd say Blot

[mint turtle]

I'd say it's about even. Blot's ability helps pop outposts but he is slow and can lag behind the lines where liege might be less effective. Alternatively Unicronus is much more mobile and directable making him a good liege option but he can't tank the way you may want him to. Both have ups and downs in this case.

[charred swift]

Yeah cause Unicronus has like no protection so I was considering actually putting Quintus on him

[gilded nacelle]

If you have terrordaxtyl then the bot who is equal with that should get quintus

[charred swift]

Cause the sharkticons count for the healing factor?

[brisk swift]

Is Red Alert a better option for Liege?

[mint turtle]

Yes. I personally haven't tested it but that's the idea.

[mint turtle]

I think he is a good candidate for Liege, yes. Maybe not top 1 choice cuz he lacks the warrior stun immunity. I was using that before equipping his g1.

[brisk swift]

Do you like his G1 more?

[mint turtle]

I do personally but I think Liege still fits if you want it to. The hack immunity combined with his ability to provide stun immune is a nice support package.

In my case I was lucky to get a gmetal g1 for Runamuck early and an additional Fracas to give him, both of which increased his survivability.

[brisk swift]

I have the same setup on mine

[gilded nacelle]

Depends how you use him.

For me, no.

For you, possibly.

[split saffron]

He absolutely is a good option for Liege. However, as stated before, it's more of a "up to you" if you want/need that bot on your team.

[vital bison]

Pipes for Liege, iyam

[gilded nacelle]

You'd get best results with buzzstrike and megatronus on pipes

[boreal dust]

Is sinnertwin any good?

[gilded nacelle]

Eh

[boreal dust]

Does that mean "decent but wouldn't invest too much into them" or "not that good"?

[gilded nacelle]

Depends how you use him. You might find him useful as a support bot for a good team. But he is not very good on his own. He definitely needs to be updated.

[upbeat marsh]

Hi. What’s a decent blurr build with no top cores or combats.
Just on a farming team so no strategy really used or needed.

[split saffron]

Rejuvenate and Triceratops in that case.

[upbeat marsh]

Thnx

[teal wigeon]

blurr meh

where would you put liege

i have it on rook rn but its meh

wish i had 5 star pipes

4 star is already a freaking beast

bro does so much of the tanking

[split saffron]

Pipes excels with Megatronus. Liege is something you can use until you get Megatronus.

[gilded nacelle]

Unless you have buzzstrike, in which case liege goes on another bot

[split saffron]

Megatronus and Buzz is the best in slot combo for Pipes, true. Bashbreaker is next best thing after Buzz.

[mint turtle]

Thanks to buzz/lancelon I don't even use Liege on my main team anymore. I just want the immunity, I don't need to be chasing their bots around.

[tepid siren]

Loading into a battle or syncing when entering the game can simingly get stuck never happen before patch

[teal wigeon]

i have both liege and megatronus

megatronus is on my 4 star pipes

liege is kinda eh with rook

[vital bison]

I run Micronus on Rook, Liege on Pipes

[valid gate]

Now that I have a 4 star Bashbreaker, who I heard a while back is very good, I dunno who best to pair him with. Any recommendations?

Also, any for Zaur?

[remote root]

Roadbuster or Optimal Optimus

[gilded nacelle]

Zaur is a companion and will function more or less the same no matter who gets him

Bashbreaker can only be equipped by melee bots. Personally, I'd give him to a rush bot so you have control of where the anti-heal effect is aimed

But it mainly comes down to who you want to receive Bashbreaker's dps boost. Warriors tend to have low dps so giving bashbreaker to them brings their dps more in line with other classes

Or you can equip him to a special class bot and get a really high dps

It's up to you what sounds better

[valid gate]

Unfortunately, I don’t know enough about all the ins and outs of each character to be able to make determinations like these. Would Ironhide be a good option? He’s currently one of my best warrior characters, and currently have a 3 star Buzzstrike on him.

Alternatively, what about Grimlock and/or Inferno?

[gilded nacelle]

What do you like better for ironhide? Buzzstrike's anti-hack or bashbreaker's acid attack?

[gilded nacelle]

They're both fine for bashbreaker

[valid gate]

I only put Buzzstrike on him to give him a slight boost to his performance. I dunno if he’s a viable option for Ironhide, so if a better option comes along, I’m happy to switch them out. That being said, I’m not super concerned about dealing damage, as I have him on a team with my 5 star Elita-1, who’s currently the ace and heaviest hitter I have on it.

[valid gate]

And good to know. I may just experiment with them to see who gets more use out of him, in that case.

[gilded nacelle]

He's fine for ironhide. Or grimlock. Or inferno. Or most of your other melee bots.

It's all about how YOU want to play. I can't answer that for you.

[valid gate]

Fair enough. I’ll try them all out. Thanks all the same.

[teal wigeon]

Optimal optimus

[valid gate]

I don’t hear much about Optimal. He’s a good bot to use?

[gaunt wolf]

Very. Ever since he got reworked for B13, he's been an amazing bot. I normally pair him with Skids so he can make the best use of his ability

[valid gate]

Good to know. Sadly, though, I don’t have higher than his 3 star, so will just have to make use of Bashbreaker on one of my other bots until then.

[gaunt wolf]

Optimal or Skids?

[valid gate]

Currently have him on my 4 star Inferno to see how that plays out.

[valid gate]

Sorry, meant optimal. Though I only have the 3 stars of both.

[gaunt wolf]

Ah

[teal wigeon]

best Fire melee bot to in the game

[valid gate]

Ah, good to know. He good to use on a team with a rust blaster user? Cause if so, I know what team I’m putting him on.

Well… Once I get his 4 - 5 star, anyway.

[teal wigeon]

bro is melee, he needs bashbreaker

[gilded nacelle]

He's asking if he should put optimal on the same team as another bot using comic rust blaster

[teal wigeon]

hmm thats not what he said before but rust is good with whoever

[gilded nacelle]

I think you can answer this. Is it good to use fire attacks on the same team as a weapon that boosts damage from fire attacks?

[smoky merlin]

I have been having issues with Ariel roaming off even after clearing a path. Has anyone else noticed this?

[split saffron]

What's your build for her?

[teal wigeon]

you have dazzle on her?

[smoky merlin]

No Sheeldron

[teal wigeon]

bruh

very strange

i think sheeldron does that too to warrior bots but idk

i would try lionizer or sawtooth

@smoky merlin you have another combat you can test on her?

[smoky merlin]

I have all of those in 4* and Sawtooth in 5*

[lyric fossil]

Which ones should I focus on

[smoky merlin]

Which bots do you enjoy using currently? I was into the airbots then I wasn’t advancing in wars so I went to the Reddit page and found different team makeups and now I have a walk team.

[lyric fossil]

All

[smoky merlin]

Do you know how to path? If not then you need to upgrade Optimus Prime so he can keep your team together. The rest is up to you. My current war team is Pipes, Ariel, Optimus, LOP, SG Jetfire, Sixgun, Minerva, and WheelJack. I path with LOP/WJ combo and Sixgun. If bots start to wander off I use Optimus to get them heading in the same direction.

[teal wigeon]

everyone BUT cybertron jetfire, optimus primal, trailbreaker, broadside, cosmos, grimlock, dd, powerglide, lightspeed

[teal wigeon]

where should lionizer go?

🧐

[gilded nacelle]

One of your melee bots. That's a pretty good combat so I'd go with an A or B team member

[teal wigeon]

Rook?

was thinking blaster

but dont have 5 star blaster

4 star lionizer anyways

nvm imma go for elita-1

[tepid siren]

I equip tiger chest on him and it got stuck like that any one else had this issue

[brisk swift]

What's the best setup for Ariel and Inferno?

[split saffron]

Ariel, G1 and honestly she works with many combats. Sheeldron if you want her more tank focused, for offense you can never go wrong with Buzzstrike and his hack immunity.

Inferno is very flexible. Can work with Micronus, Nexus, Liege, even Quintaxe setup if you want to make sure he survives longer.

[brisk swift]

Thank you. Pulled her G1 recently. Buzzstrike is currently on Pipes, may be I'll swap it and give him Sawtooth again. I agree that Ariel will feel better with a melee combat rather than a companion. As for Inferno I suppose Quintaxe setup is rather crucial, as he doesn't have his own warrior shield

[split saffron]

Happy to help.

Yeah, with flexible bots like them it really boils down to adjusting them to your playstyle. You could give Ariel Bash to deal with healing or perhaps enhance team member's fire damage, Buzz for hack immunity, Prima's Sword for damage and a decoy that will be very tanky since Ariel has highest HP in the game... etc

[teal wigeon]

What bot should get Prima?

[glacial siren]

A bot with Flak.

[mint turtle]

Yes either with Flak or a bot with the natrual spread-shot. I believe it's skyburst / onslaught and seaspray / octopunch.

[west sigil]

Can anyone post some op blot/rook builds

[shut finch]

Micronus and Fangtron work great

You can use his G1 or Rejuv as alternatives, the G1 is very good for him

[glass warren]

@west sigil- If when Possible, Always opt for the G1. The G1 Cores generally have 2 core attributes or have two ehancements

[gilded nacelle]

I don't think there's a combat bot that is notably better with him than any other bot. I'd go with a melee combat. Which one depends on what effect you'd like to add (acid, hack resistance, etc). I'm personally a big fan of windstrike, bashbreaker and buzzstrike but you have lots of options

If you're putting him on defense then a companion might interest you but again, there is no standout for dinobot. All the high tier companions will function similarly regardless of who they're equipped to

[kind arrow]

Alright, thanks

[smoky merlin]

Hey, what are some combat options for my 5* Rhinox if I’m using him as a SAC?

[gilded nacelle]

Quintus+ pteraxadon is good

He does well with most melee combats. If you're goal is to pop outposts then companions are good too

[glacial siren]

Vector + Buzzstrike is a good sac build.

[still plover]

Just got these two, any suggestion

[gilded nacelle]

They're companions

Use them with any bot you like. They don't perform noticeably better with any particular bots

[still plover]

Yeah, I wanna put them with bots that don't need weapons or guns

[teal wigeon]

zaur is a great pull

bro can come in clutch if you have an HQ low on health but all your bots are gone

[still plover]

I put the 4* one with my 4* Grimlock just because of the lore, the little guy wanting to be with the dinobots 🤭

[teal wigeon]

:0

nice

[still plover]

Oh man, that happens so often, I think I'm gonna loose but then a little combat is there taking the HQ lol

[teal wigeon]

fr

[mint turtle]

So besides how combat [companion] bots are good for defense I particularly like them with troops that affect the team, which often translates to including companions. So like Inferno, op maximus, rodimus? (the one who does the aoe blast). Unicronus, BW meg, Motormaster are the decepticons I'm more familiar with. I'm sure there's more as well.

[still plover]

Nice tip, thanks

[karmic tinsel]

Guys, Is brainstorm, snapdragon good?

[split saffron]

Brainstorm is pretty good as he can do a huge AOE destruction and Snapdragon is really solid as he can solo some weaker bases like Hq16-17

[kind arrow]

I like Brainstorm a lot, hence I’m doing a guide on him.

[brisk swift]

What combat do you use on him?

[glacial siren]

Although Brainstorm may seem like an Air Raid he’s not really.

You can pair him with Roadbuster. Apply Brainstorm’s SA on the Shield Gen cluster, then use Roadbuster to take out the cluster.

Essentially you want to take out multiple structures to utilize him for his full effect. Really works on wiping out a massive cluster.

[kind arrow]

I’m using the Rust Blaster on him.

There’s more options, if you want the guide, @brisk swift , I’ll DM it to you when it’s done

[brisk swift]

Thank you very much @kind arrow . Would be grateful. I like this bot a lot and would like to get the maximum of him

[kind arrow]

Sure

[mint turtle]

I understand Brainstorm can be a good outpost choice as well. Would need confirmation.

[kind arrow]

I don’t have the idea if he be useful there.

[glass warren]

I understand why you'd think so, But gotta be able to freeze the team continuously, and its not viable

[rotund tree]

He is not

Juts Offensive bot

[kindred panther]

Thoughts? Builds? Worth the investment?
Have a a 4* and still trying to work him into my rotation. The damage reduction is nice though I feel pigeonholed with having to pair with Sky Lynx.

[shut finch]

He's decent, use his g1 and a gun combat

A companion works fine too

[mint turtle]

What cores recommended for Spinister / rotorstorm?

[split saffron]

Tactician if you want him to prioritize defenses, otherwise VM if you don't mind him shooting at storages.

[teal wigeon]

tip: DONT give him a combat

bro really doesnt need one

[nimble coral]

give him a companion then

[mint turtle]

Noted. Cheers

[vital bison]

I tried it out, and his ability still goes after the closest building, whether it’s a defense or utility.

[still plover]

I have a question, Megatronus's fire does more damage if the building has acid? Like Sandstorm's for example

[teal wigeon]

Fire + acid combo is the meta

[still plover]

Nice!

But acid + acid too?

[teal wigeon]

meh

acid + rust maybe

but nah acid is just acid

[still plover]

I read somewhere that acid effect makes the adic deal more damage just like fire

[mint turtle]

Acid does not inherently increase other acid damage the way fire does. However, the bot ability Acid Storm (used by Acidstorm / Slingshot) does increase acid and fire damage.

[vital bison]

I’m trying to convert 10 gold cores to a G-metal core … I have 9 gold at level 1 and another gold that’s been fused up to a higher level. Why won’t the game let me convert those 10 gold into a g-metal core?

[teal wigeon]

unequip it from that bot

[glacial siren]

Currently, you cannot fuse a different leveled core with the same cores.

For example, you cannot convert a LV10 Skids Gold with 9 LV1 Skids Golds.

[mint turtle]

Is there either a max attack speed or max attack speed buff cap?

[split saffron]

No, but if you plan to combine multiple sources of speed increases at once then only highest one will apply.

[brisk swift]

What are your thoughts on the new batch, guys? I know the rework hasn't been implemented yet, but still I guess batch 15 is not much of a war material...

[dark sun]

Nope in some cases it does stack

[split saffron]

In which?

[dark sun]

It stacks when You use WJ and Hotrod with his G1

There are some more scenarios when it stacks

[smoky merlin]

Is anyone else noticing SG Jetfire decoys not quite working as intended? They were getting to the target first now they are getting to the target after SG Jetfire.

[rigid lintel]

It looks like they nerfed the SG Jetfire secretly so that the decoy dies before it reaches the target when the SA is used.
There were players who complained and reported this last week, but there was no significant response on nerf.

[rotund tree]

Do you knows the meaning of nerf

No changes in damages at all, his holos barely helps and pretty sure it’s in Dales list right @smoky light

[rigid lintel]

The decoy only works when it is used on the outpost.

[rotund tree]

@rigid lintel no idea what u means

[rigid lintel]

It only works occasionally, most of the time it doesn't work when used to attack.
Moreover, now the decoy is slower than the SG itself...

[smoky merlin]

Are they going to fix it so healers don’t try to heal the hologram from the Star Saber?

[lyric fossil]

The best 5* batch?

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on your strategy and your current bots and most importantly, what's fun for you

[teal wigeon]

the one with pipes 😎

or roadbuster

or minerva

or smokescreen

or twintwist

dang bro is right

[lyric fossil]

Got it.

[teal wigeon]

there is no right answer

[mint turtle]

They design the batches that way where there's one or two bots you really want and one or two you really don't want. It's always a tough choice.

[vital bison]

I’ve had good luck with Nightstick on scouts ….. thoughts? I know he’s recommended elsewhere, so just wanting to hear some feedback. Thanks!

[teal wigeon]

skids

[shut finch]

Depends on your bots, but Air Raid, Sixgun, Skids etc are great choices

Especially Air Raid, you can use any star rating as well - the heal is the same

[vital bison]

I’ve never used Skids much ..: need to learn him

[glacial siren]

Ideally, pair Skids with the likes of Optimal, Rust Dust, or any other AOE fire bot.

Place Skids SA on a cluster, then launch the fire.

[unkempt summit]

Rust Dust SA range is painful enough, I dont think you wanna add Nightstick to her ESPECIALLY if shes non SA11

[vital bison]

Currently using Nightstick on my 5 of Bee …. makes him surprisingly durable and with solid damage …. solos zone 14 …

[mint turtle]

Nightstick is a work horse. You'll like the results of any bot that can equip.

I'd agree the only thing to consider is if it's keeping you out of comfortable SA range.

[vital bison]

How do you know that it shortens range? Am I missing an information field or something?

[split saffron]

Lets take jets for example. Generally their range is "short range". Lets say ability range is 20 squares and difference between where your bots stands from your target is 4 squares.

Now if you give him Nightstick to make the range "very long" and now he is standing lets say 8 squares away from the target, you can see how that may affect the reach of his SA.

[atomic zephyr]

Guys, what does seaspray do?

I'm trying to help out my fellow member for his new bot squad.

[mint turtle]

Seaspray is an excellent gunner. He shoots a small area and the ability is very strong against defenses in a line.

[shut finch]

@unkempt summit why that pfp tho💀

[shut finch]

Seaspray helps in pathing - very useful in wars

[vital bison]

Thanks for the explanation, but how do you know which combats do what to a boy’s range? And does the range refer to their base attack or their SA?

[unkempt summit]

I have this really specific issue where after I pop OPs with Afterbreaker they all jump the first guy who steps off the droppad and KOs them😅
Any suggestions?

[split saffron]

That's a bit tricky. There are ones with flexible range depending on class they are on, those will have that stated in their description.

And there are others who don't, those have set range. You can try it with 2* since they are cheap to swap around.

[vital bison]

Thanks again. I was just wanting to make sure that it wasn’t spelled out somewhere right in front of me. I remember once equipping Ultra Magnus with one that gave him a really extended range for his SA, and that made him fairly fun for a while.

[split saffron]

He can only equip melee combats and those will still make him melee, however, it may say "very long range" in case of Windstrike as he will perform an occasional attack every x seconds from that range then move into melee.

[charred swift]

I just got a 5 star lug nut should I do Lugnut’s Mace with fireglide/Catgut or Vector Prime with fireglide/catgut

[split saffron]

That depends. If you mean to use him as a sac and if you're fast then you can go with Vector so he pops things, dies and respawns near landing pad.

If you want to play it more safe or use him as outpost then Mace.

[boreal dust]

Do I put alch on Runabout and find a substitute for Coel or keep it on him and wait for amalg?

[grim plinth]

@fallen pebble can tell you all about that combo

[fallen pebble]

Keep alch on coel

Put vector or rejuv on runabout

[boreal dust]

Alr

[unkempt summit]

Finally got my offhand team back up, hows it looking?

[mint turtle]

Looks like it should be fine. The team is quite tanky I doubt Nemesis needs to be there. I'd swap him for more dps. Don't matter much though.

[last acorn]

Build?

[split saffron]

#┊📢・useful_content several in there 😁

[unkempt summit]

It generally revolves around Alpha Trion, Ray Boosters or Rejuv for power cores and Shrute.
For rather more obscure setups there's Vitality lol

[lyric fossil]

Is seaspray worth focusing?

[split saffron]

Yes

[lyric fossil]

Ok thanks

[charred swift]

What should sea spray be given to maximize his potential

[split saffron]

Amalgamous, gives damage, protection and healing. Flexible gun wise, Nightstick and Glitch being probably best 2.

[charred swift]

If we had 5 star twin twist and seaspray who would be more deserving of Amalgamous?

[split saffron]

TT if defense matters to you a lot. Honestly, I juggle it around. Only costs me 1m energon per switch so might consider that.

But TT needs it to be good, while Seaspray is still good with VM.

[brisk swift]

How does Drift behave in wars after the rework?

[split saffron]

He's really good. Some even managed to use him against certain bases in PLHM alongside Ruination to "solo"

[brisk swift]

That sounds optimistic. I guess his G1 and Dark Star Saber are the best options?

[split saffron]

For general use, yes.

However for the specific strat I mentioned it was Megatronus and Air Razor.

#1231280586468102206 message

Example

[brisk swift]

That's impressive. I've watched SSW's video recently about the bots that top players are using and Windblade had ~71% use rate whereas Pipes and Rook had ~55%. Is Windblade really that good nowadays?

[glacial siren]

Eh, the reason she has a higher win rate is due to the amount of people using her.

There was much more people using Pipes and Rook than Windblade.

Windblade is really only good for Sac. Outside of that, if you’re a walk, she’s not war material.

[teal wigeon]

cheap sac, can never go wrong with a cheap sac

unless you just dont sac then its eh

[lyric fossil]

Is Stormclash worth focusing on?

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on what other air bots you have. She's pretty good

[lyric fossil]

Ok thanks.

[brisk swift]

Those rates were from higher leagues

[glacial siren]

I know.

The Unicron League Competition.

The second one.

[brisk swift]

I guess with her G1 and Enerax she's more resilient

[brisk swift]

So why would players use her? May be there is a scenario where she can be applicable

[glacial siren]

Like I said, those were players that preferred the Sac playstyle.

[brisk swift]

But there are other sac bots out there, but for some reason Windblade surpassed every one of them

[glacial siren]

Blurr is 3+3
Elita is 8+3
Windblade is 5+2

They wanted to use the Sac bot with lowest cost.

And Windblade is a cheaper sac option than Blurr, since she takes less points to get to outposts than Blurr.

[solemn vine]

i just did 2 battles with Drift (with his G1 core) but i didn't see he was invisible when rushing, he was shot by defense buildings, i wonder does anyone meet that?

[upbeat marsh]

Flare mines disable invisibility u sure he wasn’t exposed to one?

[orchid herald]

Which is better

[solemn vine]

i will try again, i disable core when doing a battle

[solemn vine]

it depends on your tactic, but i think save prime core for another, he got his specific core

[split saffron]

Alchemist for offense, Golden Disk for outpost duty.

[eternal schooner]

I'd say golden disk honestly makes him last forever and it's fantastic for defense.

[nimble coral]

last forever huh

in defense yes

but not in offense

[eternal schooner]

I haven't really had any issues with T2

And he's on my main team though I do understand Alch is probably better

[nimble coral]

I didn't mean he's bad. I meant he doesn't last long with golden disk, Alch does. Beside, i use him in my main team too

[eternal schooner]

I would swap over to give it a whirl but he's one of my best outposts

[nimble coral]

he's in my 5th outpost which is upgrading 😂

i started using him since i got the 5th outpost

[eternal schooner]

Actually I might as well swap around I attack more than get attacked

Aw man Impactor had alch and he's fun Lol

[nimble coral]

Impactor is very fun, i gave SA11 to the 4s just for fun lol

[shut finch]

I might get a 5 star Impactor this week💀

[nimble coral]

gimme 😭 , i'd trade my Rook

i wish it's possible

[shut finch]

best deal ong

yeah fr

[teal wigeon]

bruh trade out rook

[jolly shell]

Been a while since I've seen this place

[nimble coral]

@languid edge what titans do you have?

[narrow widget]

Same here, this place is bananas

[gilded seal]

Someone tell me all the strats there are to rip the spark out of chromia/ fellbat and sidetrack/growl. I'm done getting destroyed by them

[grim plinth]

Brake Neck

[mint turtle]

Pop with holograms and farm up your titan to get stun immune warriors. Or try to use red alert / runamuck in time

[gilded nacelle]

And rattrap

[nimble coral]

Just walk

[teal wigeon]

chromia hasnt been a problem for me in a while

[teal wigeon]

but ngl if you want to beat them just get your own until your bots are strong enough to smack them around

[nimble coral]

Me seeing Chromia in the outpost:

¯_(ツ)_/¯

bro im starting to stack up on my powerups

esp kreemzeks

and i STILL HAVE YET TO SEE THE GREEN ONE

[nimble coral]

It's rare

[teal wigeon]

ye i figured lol

[brisk swift]

Is there a fair chance now to pull 5* Slug from the new batch or are there still problems with it?

[gilded nacelle]

Fair chance. I got him on the third pull

[brisk swift]

5* and not a copy?

[gilded nacelle]

Yes

[brisk swift]

Thank you

[gaunt wolf]

Yeah that was fixed day of, if not a day after the batch came out

[gilded seal]

How do you obtain the golden disk core? I got a tm2 megs dupe but it didn't drop the core so how do I get it?

[teal wigeon]

luck

as with anything else in this game

[gilded seal]

So it's not 100% guaranteed to get the core with the dupe? Is there a chart which shows the drop rates upon getting a dupe or something? I've been getting the G1 cores from the dupes(if it's my first time pulling a dupe of that bot)so I thought they were 100% guaranteed

[teal wigeon]

nope no guarantee

[brisk swift]

What's the best core for Optimus Prime - his G1 or Micronus?

And how is Slug compared to Ironhide?

[teal wigeon]

Ironhide is much better

[teal wigeon]

Imo his G1 but micronus is close

[brisk swift]

And what is wrong with Slug? I thought they are very similar

[teal wigeon]

Not wrong but ironhide is just superior

And ironhide stuns as well? Vs Slug and his fire damage

Just use optimal optimus if you want good fire damage

[brisk swift]

I like him. He's on my main war team now along with Pipes. Just want a rushing tank for my B squad. So I am choosing between Ironhide and Slug. Or may be I should give a chance to Drift after his rework. Some players praise him much

[teal wigeon]

Drift is good ngl imo abit better than Slug when you put on his G1 core

Slug is just tanky as heck

[gilded seal]

So... is there any way to prevent healers from committing suicide by going after the sac bots?

[dark sun]

Let the sac bots die

[gilded seal]

I understand that but my healer does not

[dark sun]

I meant deploy the sac 1st let him do his work and die and then deploy rest of the team

[gilded seal]

Hm I'll try that

[split saffron]

Micronus by far, especially if you have him at SA11.

[brisk swift]

Thank you, Val! And what about Ironhide, Slug and Drift? Whom to prioritize on?

[split saffron]

Well Ironhide is a great tank and so is Slug, but I'd so Ironhide over Slug. Drift is a nice damage dealer and can be used for some niche solo strategies.

[brisk swift]

I see, thanks. Ironhide with Liege and Jaze?

[split saffron]

That works, for sure.

[vital bison]

I recently pulled Prime (finally) and used this event to level him over 60. He’s not really ready for my A-team, but I want to install him prematurely anyway.

Swoop was a super early 5 for me and is still on my A-team, so it’s an easy replacement. Challenge I have is prime cores. I was running Liege on Pipes and Micronus on Rook. Now I have the fire ring on Pipes and am thinking Micronus for Prime - then Liege on Rook? Am I on the right path?

[split saffron]

Yeah, sounds good

[brisk swift]

Val, do you think anyone in the new batch, besides Slug, is PLHM war-worthy?

[split saffron]

Honestly, you can get away with using just about all of them. However, Afterbreaker by far is most valueable for that. People used his 4* so 5* is just an upgrade of already relevant bot.

Wreck-Gar and AT... have their fans and if you're one of those you can absolutely get a use out of them. Though for majority only Minerva is enough as a healer.
Grapple is okay, can be used with due to popularity of Antidote BB cores as a way to negate healing, but all these bots do is not a must have.

They are all okay, Slug is really good too and Afterbreaker is amazing.

That sums it up.

[brisk swift]

Thank you for your reply. I'm choosing between the new batch and batch 11, which has Ironhide, Slingshot and Hound left for me. I guess the first two are more versatile and valuable in wars. I don't want Hound, but I think I won't be very happy with Grapple or Wreck Gar either

[split saffron]

I'd probably do 11. I think Ironhide has advantage over Slug due to 2 sec longer shield and Sling is an amazing jet

[brisk swift]

Thank you! You helped me make a difficult choice. Btw is Sling's SA11 helpful with shield generators?

[split saffron]

Absolutely. After SG is down the damage moves to other buildings in cluster. However, pay attention to antidote and fireproof cores.

[sweet stump]

Best core and combat for drift?

I've got g1 and nightstalker at the moment

[split saffron]

G1 is fine. Prima's Star Saber helps him do a lot more damage.

[dark sun]

G1/Megatronus + airrazor

[split saffron]

For that very specific strat with Ruin solo, sure

[dark sun]

It does help in soloing w/o ruin as well as air isn't gonna pop outposts and helps you in taking out defense

[gilded seal]

How does the motion sensing power core interacts with barricade/drift's stealth mode and other such abilities making a bot invisible?

[brisk swift]

What's the best bot for Jaze/Baro?

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on your strategy and your lineup

[brisk swift]

I use Rook/Blot a lot, rushing warriors, sometimes Inferno, Ariel

[upbeat marsh]

Hear beachcomber is excellent with him.

[teal wigeon]

Rook superiority 🙏

[teal wigeon]

someone you put on your team for their SA and you need them alive

[brisk swift]

Thanks. I guess Jaze would be more useful on Rook than Big Daddy now

[sweet stump]

Is it worth saving combiner spark for ruination even if I dont have all the bots for it?

[jolly shell]

Yes

[orchid herald]

My question is I got 400 shards for a 5 star pull and it’s a guaranteed 5 star sentius I have the 5star sword 🗡️ of balance or guaranteed 5 star rook which would you choose?

[gilded nacelle]

Personally I'd go Rook but the right answer for you depends on your strategy and your lineup

[teal wigeon]

Rook s-tier

[meager wigeon]

Can a Level 19 FM and Metro defeat the Level 20 ones in Titan Assault?
If yes please help me for Setup and strategy

[gilded nacelle]

Yes. I started with my titan as far back as possible and began my attacks with 4, 3 and 2. Then attacked again as soon as an ability recharged

[meager wigeon]

Oh first the 4 star attack?
Then 3 and then 2 right?

What setup?

[sweet stump]

How many stasis mines do you get at hq 18? I'm hq 17 and deciding what cores to invest in

[meager wigeon]

You have a total of 6 at HQ 18

[sweet stump]

Is this the best set up for the titans? How about the ark?

[brisk swift]

What would you choose: to pull Lazer Optimus and Smokescreen(batch 7) or Ironhide and Slingshot(batch 11)? Already got Pipes, Sentius, Impactor and Skids

[jolly shell]

Maybe go for T2 honestly

You've got plenty of acid

[brisk swift]

I already have T2. Love him

[brisk swift]

And if to choose from those 2 batches?

[jolly shell]

Between 7 and 11 ||I'd get a slurpee|| I'd pull from 7 because screenie can take out the vital build bots for you

[sweet stump]

I've got 70k 3 star shards, is it worth me buying the other titan parts if I've already got 4 star ark?

[remote root]

yes, you still should

[sweet stump]

Space Ape I've got 2 titans defending my base please don't fix im winning every defense battle

I

I love this game

[brisk swift]

Thanks. I got him today first try

[teal wigeon]

careful, this server will crap on LOP cuz he is old

[brisk swift]

Pulled Smokescreen from that batch today. Best setup, please

[teal wigeon]

ayy nice

very simple

G1+Glitch or VM+Glitch

you can swap glitch for SG steeljaw for the smokey cover

[teal wigeon]

Also you should ABSOLUTELY send him to SA11

That Glass effect with his damage is so good

[brisk swift]

Thanks!

[brisk swift]

Already sent him to SA11

[brisk swift]

How is he good at removing things?

[gilded nacelle]

Let's say you have a cluster of three defenses - maybe two mortars and a missile launcher - right by each other

It normally takes Smokey 12 ability points to destroy both mortars. But with ability 11 you hit the missile launcher and spread glass gas to the mortars

Now you can take out both of those mortars for a total of just 9 ability points

[teal wigeon]

^pretty much

Wears down things in a cluster and with VM, makes it take even more damage

[faint trellis]

Can anyone share if they are using blurr for wars in Cybertron or Prime League? Whats your set up and how is he utilized?

[glacial siren]

Liege + Tricerashot
Vector + Tricerashot

He’s mostly used as a Sac (to pop outposts and waste their abilities).

[gilded nacelle]

I agree with heni

[valid gate]

Hmm… Thinking about it, with my new 5 star Sentius, I dunno what cores are recommended for him. I don’t even have one on my 4 star. Any suggestions?

[glacial siren]

Amal + Sword Of Balance is his best setup.
Alchemist can also be used if another bot is using Amal (like Twintwist).

You could also use Oynx, Nexus, or a simple rejuvenate if you have no other options.

[meager wigeon]

This setup will also work in The Last Titan Assault?

[gilded nacelle]

I haven't beaten the level 24 titan yet

[meager wigeon]

Is there any setup which can make that happen?

[gilded nacelle]

Actually, let me take that back. Those setups will beat the level 24 trypticon and skorponok titans

I was thinking about the level 24 nemesis titan. That's the one I haven't beaten yet

[meager wigeon]

Oh Thanks I just wanted that

[faint trellis]

Don’t the MSM’s mess him up though?

[grim plinth]

Blurr is immune to them

[teal wigeon]

@glass moss post it here so others can help you too

[teal wigeon]

@violet mural can you see here?

[meager wigeon]

My Titan is Level 20 with this setup now
But still cannot defeat the Level 20 one

Can you see the video and tell if I'm doing anything wrong?

[gilded nacelle]

I always start from way back and center of the battlefield

[nimble coral]

can someone give me some tips to score 225 in silver league?

[jolly shell]

Have a good team. Use bots like some from the following: cliffjumper, first aid, powerglide, broadside, Tasmania kid, hot spot, bumblebee, and dust up. For combiner you want to take Victorion. If bots are in the 500 power range, you should be able to 225 in silver

This squad can take down up to hq 17 bases with all bots below 1k power each. Combiner isn't always necessary either

[shut finch]

😭

bro is spittin fax

[teal wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-gif-26460616

lawd help me

[vital bison]

To be fair, Silver league is sporting level 18 bases and titans these days … leagues have all kinds of balancing problems.

[brisk swift]

What are your thoughts on batch 15 PLHM war relevance?

[nimble coral]

Solid choice imo

Especially Tarn

[sweet stump]

Hot spot used to be good right? He's not as good but he's not terrible, right?

[teal wigeon]

dawg

of all the tank rushers,

he is the worst

[sweet stump]

What's supposed to happen with the titan after all your bots have been defeated in battle?

Because I have one base defense replay where all the bots are defeated in 1m34s and the battle ends and then another replay where the bots are defeated and more than half the base is left and the titan keeps going and destroys my hq

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on how many bots the attacker has left in the shuttle

If I have 8 bots in my shuttle but only deploy one, the titan will continue attacking even if that one bot dies

But if I deploy all of my bots and they die, the battle is over

[smoky merlin]

Is there anyone effectively warring with Impactor? And if so how are you using him?

[sweet stump]

I have replays where the attacker has placed all 8 bots and they die but the titan keeps going

[teal wigeon]

replays suck

unreliable

[gilded nacelle]

Replays are not accurate

[jade swift]

I don’t use Impactor a lot, I usually only pop his ability when my team is engaged with the enemy combiner and outpost bots

He’s never been as effective for me as I’d like

Fwiw I have a 5* lvl 62, SA11 with maxxed Gmetal G1Core on him

[teal wigeon]

yeah impactor aint so special to me but he can be a menace on defense

[jade swift]

Agreed

[vital bison]

Impactor was my first 5-star and thus still on my A-team …. level 67 and climbing … fun to solo with … but I enjoy him more than his true value

[nimble coral]

Impactor is really fun to use

[brisk swift]

Are Grapple and Wreck Gar decent in PLHM battles nowadays?

[remote root]

i hear wreck is plenty usable, grapple i am less sure about (probably not)

[glacial siren]

Wreck-Gar is pretty useful, just make sure his revive goes off before you deploy your combiner.

Grapple is okay, his mine can draw damage and stop healing, but there are better bots to use.

[brisk swift]

So I guess Grapple is the least preferable bot from the entire batch?

[glacial siren]

That’s a bit debatable, you could argue that 5 Star Afterbreaker is least desirable since his 4 Star does the job already.

[brisk swift]

And what are your thoughts concerning Alpha Trion?

[glacial siren]

He’s an interesting support bot, I’d pick other support bots (ex: Tracks and Red Alert) over him but he’s pretty useful.

His G1 gives him a little Micronus, and he’s overall a nice support bot for a team.

[brisk swift]

Is he a better support bot than Inferno?

[remote root]

it depends on what you need

if you want a consistent damage boost then inferno may be the bot for you

if you want more varied bonuses then alpha trion may be for you (also his g1 is pretty good)

[brisk swift]

If you would pull from batch 1 and 15 to get Volcanicus components what batch would you choose first? According to other bots war relevance

[nimble coral]

Slug

Or Swoop for outpost

[jolly shell]

Slug

Go for 15

[brisk swift]

Thanks

[teal wigeon]

dawg the big drawback with grapple is his health

his ability is cool if he is alive to use it

[brisk swift]

And if to put Enerax/Fireglide on him?

[teal wigeon]

if you think it will work try it but thats better on those who have more health to stay alive longer

[brisk swift]

What is better on Rook and Red Alert - their G1 or Liege?

[old kestrel]

Rook is versatile so both can work for red alert his G1 is best

[brisk swift]

And what would you put on Roadbuster now, when he's nerfed?

[old kestrel]

If you want to one shot once he's fixed id use G1

rn he bugged af rn so can't one shot
