General Strategy & Help!

[faint trellis]

If Metro is already at L20, what use is there for doing the titan assaults? I stopped doing mine, but want to make sure i’m not missing out.

[gilded nacelle]

You might want to have 1.5M titan spark on hand for when 5* titans eventually come out

[faint trellis]

Good point, thanks

[faint trellis]

Another question, what does adjacent mean for the shield generator? Would it includes items in 3,6 and 9 in this photo?

[glacial siren]

It has to be touching the shield gen, so the Mortars and MDS would get the protection, the Beam Lasers and Shocktowers are not.

[faint trellis]

Thanks for clarifying. Technically, I thought the tips were touching which would count

[brisk swift]

Who is a better candidate for the captain rank in the first place - Optimus Prime, Optimal Optimus, Roadbuster or Red Alert?

[nimble coral]

OO

[brisk swift]

And who would be the second?

[nimble coral]

RA

[teal wigeon]

dont sleep on Optimus prime

[jolly shell]

sleep on him

he's quite comfy

[teal wigeon]

:c

[dark sun]

Sleep on ariel

[teal wigeon]

https://tenor.com/view/my-man-my-man-hd-my-man4k-gif-23532578

[brisk swift]

So after Optimal Optimus you recommend making Prime a captain?

[teal wigeon]

i personally like Optimus prime but OO should be top priority then red alert

im even pouring xp and spark into my 5 star RA right now

[brisk swift]

And what other top priority bots for rank upgrade would you name?

[teal wigeon]

flatline

everyone else is just whoever you use the most

[vital bison]

I must not understand how to use RA well. I’ve never viewed him as much. Seemed among the weaker bots that I never used. What am I missing?

[teal wigeon]

he gives protection to all bots and 100% protection to himself

he is decently cheap to use so can keep them alive in raid

his G1 core gives him even more health too

[jade swift]

RA is a pretty solid outpost bot , really can snarl an attacker down

[teal wigeon]

unless he gets hacked

[vital bison]

Is it his SA 11 that makes him more useful? Cause my Pipes and Iron Hide perform much better.

[teal wigeon]

RA is a support bot

pipes and ironhide are warrior rushers

not the same function

[faint trellis]

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I don’t have a 5* RA yet, but it seems like it’s his SA11 that’s game changing. 10 seconds of invulnerability sounds pretty insance

[faint trellis]

Can I get suggestions on who to take to captain?

[teal wigeon]

LOP?

[gilded nacelle]

Per @smoky light , the health/dps increase would benefit bots whose abilities are based on those stats so maybe gnaw

But I'd consider giving it to your outpost bots. There's also an argument to give it to a medic since medic shards are relatively rare in this game

[faint trellis]

Thank you Edge and @teal wigeon — is Roadbuster still worth investing in? I don’t have anyone that can single shot anything which is why i went for him, but i see a lot of comments about how he’s not what he used to be.

[teal wigeon]

bro is broken right now but he still does great damage so i wouldnt snub him

[glacial siren]

When he’s fixed, he should be able to do one-shots.
He just can’t do PLHM One-Shots anymore.

[vital bison]

PLHM?

[glacial siren]

Prime League Hard Mode.

[faint trellis]

Is SG jetfire a better option for one shot?

[teal wigeon]

nah Smokey 😏

but he is still good tho

[gilded nacelle]

Platypus loving helium mudrakers

[glacial siren]

Well SG Jetfire will have issues if there is a Micronus or Heal Zone next to a target, since his SA takes three hits.

[dark sun]

He can

he just can't one shot level 2 mds now

And that's not a bug

[faint trellis]

Thanks. I gave it to gnaw. Gave him a slight boost in health/dps. Power rating surged up pretty high though if those meant anything.

[distant marsh]

someone actually captain’ed gnaw no way 😭😭🙏

holy W

[gilded seal]

My man really pulled warpath on the first try

[brisk swift]

How would you rate Lightspeed 5* after his rework?

[glacial elbow]

8.5 out of 10

[shut finch]

@nimble coral u need this sort of luck w Warpath lol

[faint trellis]

So far I’ve been pretty lucky with pulls. Except for skyburst, but she was an anniversary crystal.

[brisk swift]

Who do you think is the best war bot in batch 1 and who is the worst? And who is at least decent

[teal wigeon]

isnt that the one with OP?

[brisk swift]

That's the one with Grimlock, Silverbolt, Sunstreaker etc

[teal wigeon]

oh hot rod

then gnaw

[brisk swift]

Gnaw is still war worthy?

And what about Grimlock? Besides that he is a combiner bot

[jolly shell]

I like him as a warrior. Rush warrior generally get easy zen in Elim every week since they solo bases easily

[brisk swift]

Do you use him in wars from time to time?

[jolly shell]

Man, I wish I could have his 5*

He's currently my last pull in 1 left

But I wouldn't use him over 5* Headstrong or rampage

[teal wigeon]

tbh i forgot to consider Grimlock

he is a decent rush bot but there are 3 better options than him for what he does

so maybe Hot rod then Grim then gnaw

gnaw kinda fell off

decent outpost bot tho

but easily taken care of

[jolly shell]

Gnaw has crazy dps

[teal wigeon]

fr

in the same position as slash

BUT

low health

[jolly shell]

But his hp is in the negatives

[teal wigeon]

slash can go invisible and gnaw cannot

[jolly shell]

Be funny if I had a bbe for baru

[brisk swift]

I don't know whether I want to pull from batch # 1 or from #15. Tried to pull Slug/Rampage last time, but unfortunately got Grapple

[jolly shell]

Who all do you have

[brisk swift]

From those batches I only have Silverbolt/Thundercracker(1) and Grapple/Dirtbag(15)

[jolly shell]

Out of every batch

[brisk swift]

5* Predaking is coming, but I'm not sure whether I want all those crappy bots in search of the combiner pieces

[jolly shell]

I'd get a solid team before you go chasing a combiner

Take it from someone who isn't following that advice

[teal wigeon]

💀

[jolly shell]

Plus we don't even know if 5* king will be good

[teal wigeon]

yep

[brisk swift]

That's my main war team

[teal wigeon]

sheeesh

[jolly shell]

Pretty solid

💀

[brisk swift]

Thank you!

[teal wigeon]

57k

although ngl i would swap out halfshell for a second healer or aerial

maybe SGTC

but either way

this is a solid team

[jolly shell]

Where is your 57k team

[brisk swift]

You are right. That's the real point

[teal wigeon]

im at 34k rn

[jolly shell]

I'm at like 45k

[teal wigeon]

if you give me sme cybercoins, i can get there quicker

[jolly shell]

We both need to shut up

[teal wigeon]

[jolly shell]

Only if you gamble them all away

[brisk swift]

Unfortunately Halfshell is not as effective as he used to be. Though maxed out

[brisk swift]

Thank you

[charred swift]

This is what I want for 5 star megs cause I got Micronus and SG ravage on my 4* is there any other really good options for Megs?

[glacial siren]

You could run:

Quntius + Terror
Micronus + Fireglide or Dark Star Saber
Nexus + Fireglide or Dark Star Saber

G1 works pretty well if you’re rushing a base.

So his best setup varies depending on what the team needs.

[charred swift]

Thank you also I wanted to know if anyone knows the best defensive and offensive set ups for each Titan or where I can find a guide on that, (assuming the titans are at max level)

[brisk swift]

Is Hot Rod's G1 effective or there are better options? And as for Grimlock - which is better his G1 or his crown?

[glacial siren]

Hot Rod’s G1 is pretty good, I’d use that.
As for Grimlock, I’d pick his G1 over his Crown.

[brisk swift]

Thank you

[charred swift]

I’d really like to know any suggestions as I’ve never focused on offense or defense and can’t find a lot of info on this subject online

[vital bison]

For Titan assault, I would remove all the bot related abilities and add back in the Titan based ones for melee attack and defense buffs. For PVP, do whatever you like.

[shut finch]

Best ones, here u go

[charred swift]

Very much appreciate this it’s exactly what I was looking for

ty

[charred swift]

The active titan base effects what are they for each titan?

and are they on by default?

[jolly island]

What does titan base effect even do

[gilded nacelle]

It gives an effect to the base

[jolly island]

what effects , i know one is emp

[teal wigeon]

another is more damage to mortars and missle launchers

[shut finch]

You unlock them after hq18, and they provide buffs for your base, which varies based on the titan, respectively.

Visit some bases with each of the three titans, to see the specific buffs

[charred swift]

How do you check which ones are active?

I’m at HQ18 and I still don’t where to find them

[glacial siren]

Metroplex/Trypticon: Your defenses and outposts do more 30% BEAM damage.

Fortress Maximus/Scroponok: Your defenses and outposts deal more 30% EMP damage.

Ark/Nemesis: Your defenses and outposts deal 30% more FIRE damage.

Which is active, is depending on what Titan you have selected to be active.

[charred swift]

Appreciated

[teal wigeon]

base trials

[full jacinth]

Looking for advice on who to level up and focus on and what teams to make with them. Any help will be much appreciated!

[teal wigeon]

Red alert, Minerva, Tracks, optimal optimus, dinobot, optimus prime, sixgun, air raid, blades, sideswipe, elita-1, brainstorm, cosmos, windblade, strafe, afterbreaker, snapdragon

inferno is ok too

if you had ariel i would focus on her over him

grimlock is ok

not that great

[full jacinth]

Alright thank you!

[shut eagle]

What's a good Power Core and Combat Bot for a 4* Cosmos?

I was thinking of maybe pairing him with Spoilsport or the Cosmic Rust Blaster (Cosmos, Cosmic. It's a knee slapper, lol)

[teal wigeon]

core, his attack core i think

he has his g1

but i dont think he needs a combat

[shut eagle]

I don't have his G1 unfortunately. I can throw Enhanced Ordinance or Reflective Coating on 'em for the time being.

As for the Combat, probably not, but I wouldn't mind giving him an extra edge in someway.

[teal wigeon]

coating works and any you dont particularly need

any combat i mean

[brisk swift]

How is CL/Ozu compared to Rung?

[gilded seal]

They're both quite similar

[charred swift]

From what I have seen, Ozu outperforms Rung but they can both do AOE healing so they're both the best combat options

[dusty stratus]

Should I put Ozu on flatline then?

[charred swift]

If you have them at the same star level then put Ozu

[tepid siren]

So is it better to go for the 5 star combat weapon? Or the latest one which has many options

[split saffron]

Latest batch has better value

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on your bots, your strategy and what you need

Bear in mind that weapons are more expensive

[split saffron]

Not a single weapon is a must have, while combats from latest batch like C.L/Ozu and Buzzstrike/Lancelon are insanely good and very relevant

[gilded nacelle]

While buzzstrike is indeed incredibly good, there are also two combats in that batch that are bot exclusive. If you don't use wheeljack or star saber then you may end up with a combat that is useless to you.

To be fair though, one of the weapons is exclusive to sentius

Eh. Kunai can be used with other medics albeit less effective

[charred swift]

Any Squad cores worth grinding for?

[split saffron]

Not really

[charred swift]

Even the Gmetals?

[gilded nacelle]

Not really

[scenic spear]

Why Neptune is so overpowered? Why Runabout / Blurr are so good? Sorry If i write some names wrongly

[split saffron]

God Neptune is released for HQ18 meta, others were released for HQ17 meta and differences in difficulty of that content are vast.

As for Blurr/Runabout, good bots have to exist. There are about 50 bots in the game that are good and that's a solid number. Blurr is a pretty good sac bot.

[scenic spear]

I see, thank you

[brisk swift]

Hi, Val! Glad to see you. I'd like to know your opinion on the latest batch 16. What do you think on those bots?

[split saffron]

Hey mate! They are insane. Inferno is top tier, similar to TM2 but does damage in a line. Wildrider is crazy good, can one shot and HP decrease he does is very essential in high leagues. Deluge is cracked, both for offense and defense. Must have outpost. Lockdown is solid, he has potential, but not a must have. Drillhorn is a solid tank, comparable to Bludgeon and Razorclaw if you feel comfortable using him. His reflect is insane now.

[brisk swift]

I was hunting for predacons in order to complete 5* Predaking when he is ready. I pulled 4 of them and then the new batch came out. I have only Tantrum left. Now I have a dilemma whether to pull from batch 6, which mainly consists of bots, I don't really want(except for Tantrum and Octone) or to try my luck with batch 16. What would you recommend, Val?

[split saffron]

Predaking is probably not soon. I'd hit B16, those bots turn wars into easy mode.

[brisk swift]

Thank you, mate! You always give such helpful advice. I guess Tantrum can wait. And for bots in batch 16 I have all of their G1 cores. Hope these cores are useful and good

[split saffron]

Happy to help mate! Those G1s are useful. Though Inferno also can work with Alchemist as he one shots even without G1 so keep it in mind.

[brisk swift]

Pulled Lockdown. May be next time I would have more luck...

[split saffron]

I feel you. Once you're out of duds, the good stuff is guaranteed :p

[brisk swift]

I see. So he's not worth investing in

[split saffron]

I am personally not a fan, but @dark sun for example sees value in him so I think it is up to you. Lockdown is a supplementing bot to the team, he gives a bit of an oompf, but doesn't do a truckload.

[charred swift]

Is he better with his damage or healing core?

[glacial siren]

While you level him use his G1, when he’s maxed or near maxed use healing.

[charred swift]

He has two G1s though one for damage and healing so you’re saying use damage and then when near maxed swap to healing core?

[glacial siren]

Ah wait, you’re talking about Lockdown.

It depends what you’re using him for, if you’re using him for support use healing. Offensively and to combo, damage.
You can before deploying a combiner deploy a healing turret to heal your combiner or a damage turret to apply glass gas to defenses (SA11).

[charred swift]

Oh that’s cool that it stays while your combiner is out

[dark sun]

Dmg

[untold grail]

Could I please get some help with figuring out an additional 3-4 teams for events/regular farming? My currently unassigned 4-star bots are as follows and I have all eight bot slots unlocked:
Aerial: Blades, SG Jetfire, Firefly, Skydive, Cybertron Jetfire, Silverbolt, Stormclash, Slingshot, Powerglide, BW Silverbolt
Gunner: Bluestreak, Seaspray, Alpha Bravo, Whirl, Skids, Prowl, Mirage, Sixgun
Medic: Minerva, First Aid, Wreck-Gar
Special: Blaster (5-star), Red Alert, Blurr, Optimal Optimus, Huffer, Star Saber, Leo Prime, Brawn, Impactor, Laser Optimus, Sentius Magnus, Rust Dust, Rodimus Prime, Windblade, Optimus Primal, Ultra Magnus, Slash, Cheetor, Perceptor, Kup, Streetwise, Skyburst, Gnaw, Hoist, Scattershot, Grapple, Alpha Trion
Triple Changer: Sky Lynx, Snapdragon, Broadside
Warrior: Drift, Grimlock, Slug, Dinobot, Sludge, Goldfire, Inferno, Trailbreaker, Twin Twist, Sideswipe, Jumpstream, Pyra Magna, BW Ironhide

[teal wigeon]

yeah just ignore all the triple changers and cybertron jetfire, trailbreaker, skyburst, grapple, scattershot, streetwise,cheetor, ultra magnus, optimus primal, first aid, mirage, powerglide and alpha bravo

make a random team with the rest

just be sure to have 2 warriors at least and 2 gunners along with 2 specials and 2 aerial

[brisk swift]

Could you tell what setup do you use on Huffer?

[glacial siren]

Ideally, you’d want to run his G1 (Damage or Healing depending on what you want to use him for) and Enerax/Fireglide.

But most other melee weapons can work well as well as companions.

[honest grail]

Just had a war attempt where enemy combat bots appeared despite not tripping enemy outposts. Not quite sure what to make of it. Any ideas?

[dark sun]

can you share replay ?

[gilded nacelle]

What combats?

[lyric fossil]

For HQ 16 do I need to upgrade and research or upgrade only?

[teal wigeon]

umm both?

[graceful flicker]

Okay, been a while and forgot how to send a ticket, is there a way i can find out?

[glacial siren]

Menu -> Support -> Contact Support.

[valid gate]

Ugh… I only JUST found out that the Forge of Solus Prime is coming… Do we know anything about it so far? I’m currently debating if I should save my 5 star shards to try and go for it or not when it gets added to the weapon options.

[valid gate]

Also, thinking about my primary team again right now, I’m planning to switch out Ironhide and maybe Perceptor for Pipes and Optimal Optimus once I get his 4 or 5 star.

To get the most use out of my team’s elemental damage, are Seaspray or Red Alert good options for the Cosmic Rust Blaster? If so, who’s the better choice?

[gilded nacelle]

You're asking the wrong question. Who holds the cosmic rust blaster isn't as important as who else is on the team

[teal wigeon]

Ain't gon lie, cosmic rust blaster is a non essential

[valid gate]

Really? I thought that was recommended for supplementing elemental damage? Gotcha, though.

[teal wigeon]

its kinda the only thing that does elemental damage but its not necessary

its good tho but its important to pair it with nightstick and topshot

[brisk swift]

Does a sergeant chest from the Grand Prix Bundle contain a guaranteed sergeant skip?

[gilded nacelle]

Yes

[charred swift]

Absolutely nothing rn but likely it’ll be an endurance event to get it

[brisk swift]

What is the best acknowledged combat for Beachcomber?

[glacial siren]

Jaze/Baro makes Beachcomber/Deluge extremely tanky, and also allows him to remove shields on defense.

[brisk swift]

Thank you. So Jaze/Baro is better on Beachcomber, than on Rook? And as for Nosecone/Drillhorn what is more relevant - Sheeldron or Rattrap?

[glacial siren]

I’d say to run your best Jaze/Baro on your Beachcomber/Deluge rather than Rook.
For Rook, I run the Quintius + Petrax setup, not just for the healing. If the outpost combiner is Computron/Liokasier, and Rook’s holo goes down, then the Quntius Sharks can waste the hack.

As for Nosecone/Drillhorn, for their idea setup I’d probably run Liege and a Melee COMBAT. Nosecone is already pretty bulky so he doesn’t really need Sheeldron, and since he gets anti-stun with the Titan Tech Tree he doesn’t really need Rattrap.
Megatronus, Oynx, or Rejuivante work for power cores on him as well.

[gilded nacelle]

If you have the anti stun perk I'd say Sheeldron. Better to block damage than gain a redundant anti stun

[brisk swift]

That's a very interesting setup. Never tried Quintus+Pterax on Rook. I'll try it out. Does it happen regularly that sharkticons waste the Computron's hack or is it a matter of luck? You are right, Nosecone will be more effective with a melee combat

[brisk swift]

Thank you. Sure I have the anti stun perk. I'm pondering what combat batch to pull from. I have all the latest batches cleared out. So I'm deciding whether to try combat batch 3(the one with Gatorface) or batch 4(with Sheeldron)

[gilded nacelle]

If you use brake neck, octopunch, or whoever the counterparts to bluestreak or warpath are, I'd go for gatorface. I'd also suggest considering the con equivalents for nightstand, shrute bashbreaker and buzzstrike

[brisk swift]

Yes, I have all of these gunners in 5* except for Warpath. Thank you for your recommendations

[glacial siren]

I run Leo Prime (Optimal Optimus previously) on the war team with Rook.
I deploy Leo first then Rook, Use Leo’s SA on to the most clustered group of structures, then use Rook’s holo immediately after using Leo’s SA near the combiner outpost.
I then use Leo’s SA again to allow Rook to spawn more sharks, this ensures there’s at least a few sharks nearby to waste the hack.

[brisk swift]

I see. I like your strategy. I haven't pulled Leo Prime yet but I have 5* Optimal Optimus maxed out

[brisk swift]

And do you use his G1 + Bashbreaker on Leo Prime?

[glacial siren]

I run Alchemist + Zaur on him.
He doesn’t need his G1 really, at 60+ he does more damage with his SA than a level 70 SA11 Optimal Optimus.

As for his COMBAT, I run Zaur. Since his default attack is actually ranged, giving him a weapon would remove his natural ranged attack and push him into the front lines. Running a companion helps keep him back and increases his survivability.

[brisk swift]

That's a good point that it's important to preserve his ranged attack and to prevent him from running into the epicenter of the battle with a companion combat. What other bots have the same behavior and need a companion over melee?

[glacial siren]

None really.

[teal wigeon]

put rattrap on lop/armada better for him to not have his SA interrupted

[brisk swift]

What is the best candidate for captain rank in the new batch?

[glacial siren]

Out of all, I’d say Beachcomber.
Since he’s really good both offensively and defensively.

[gilded nacelle]

Beachcomber would get a huge health boost from promotions since he is already tanky

But "best" is subjective. Depends on what YOU want and your strategy

[brisk swift]

Of course "best" is subjective. My candidates were Beachcomber and Leo Prime. I thought Beachcomber was already tanky and LP needs that health boost more. May be the community choice is Bluestreak as he is rather short of hp. Wanted to hear different viewpoints

[gilded nacelle]

Or some people want to give Bluestreak a promotion for more dps. Not my choice but that's what I mean by subjective.

[brisk swift]

However, there are objectively good solutions, such as putting Amalgamous on TT, Alpha Trion on Minerva or Megatronus+Buzzstrike on Pipes. Of course some people use other builds but those options are considered worthy by the majority of players

[gilded nacelle]

Even those are subjective. Is amalgamous good on several bots? Yes. But I'd still rather give it to Twintwist because it works for my strategy and since he currently does not have a g1 core it seems like a good fit

[brisk swift]

How effective is Airazor with Leo Prime? Do their speed reduction stack? Or are there better companion options?

[gilded nacelle]

Speed reductions don't stack

[brisk swift]

I see. Then may be Rollerforce?

[glacial siren]

I run Zaur on Leo, for the extra DPS.
Though depending on what you have what may be best could be different.

[gilded nacelle]

You can do that. The vast majority of companions behave the same no matter who you equipped them to.

Maybe rattrap since he gives Leo anti-stun shield but any companion will be fine

[gilded nacelle]

Zaur's damage is the same no matter who you equip him to

[glacial siren]

Yeah I know, I was talking about his Orbital Strike.

[gilded nacelle]

So was i

[brisk swift]

That's a great idea, thanks

[charred swift]

What character seems to benefit the most from the forge

[gilded nacelle]

Well, considering it gives hack immunity, you'd want it on a bot you'll use to destroy any defenses equipped with liege core

But considering the forge's other abilities, it seems like you'll get the biggest bonuses by putting it on a bot with high health and dps. Only you would know which of your bots has the highest health and dps

[fickle briar]

I think i ll go with barricade

[charred swift]

I’m about to get the 4* forge so I’m debating who to give it to

[tepid siren]

Was also gonna ask who to give it to since I just got it

[gilded nacelle]

Scroll up a few posts

[faint trellis]

I have one on twin twist to give him hack immunity. The other I put on elita along with vector to give her 2 lives.

[brisk swift]

What's the most effective core and combat on Nosecone/Drillhorn?

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on your strategy for him. I use a regenerate core. But an antihack core or combat could also be good if you use him to take out defenses with liege core.

[desert aurora]

Where do I able to use my C.O.M.B.A.T bots?

[teal wigeon]

in the combat lab

[solemn vine]

you need to complete power core lab campaign, when you complete it, construct that in your base, and you can use combat bot/ weapon/ core

[desert aurora]

Oh i see

[desert aurora]

Is power core lab campaign part of main campaign?

[solemn vine]

yes, it is

[solemn vine]

you MUST complete it

[desert aurora]

Yes, I saw the rewards level. Still in the third chapter where I will be rewarded with Bumblebee.

[cold nest]

Which is better 5* nightstick or 5* cosmic rust gun on Sixgun??????

[gilded nacelle]

If it were me, I'd go Nightstick. Who the cosmic rust blaster goes on isn't as important as what other bots/combats are on the same team. And fix your ? key. It made you type six queston marks.

[teal wigeon]

nightstick more essential but i would put nighstick on RA

[karmic tinsel]

Guys, what’s the best core and combat bot for optimal Optimus?

[gilded nacelle]

"Best" is entirely subjective and depends on what you want him to do.

I'm a big fan of his golden disk core since it allows him to come back from the dead. Buzzstrike and forge offer him anti-hack.

But rattrap would give him anti-stun. Amalgamous core might be good if you don't have a better bot for that core.

This depends on your strategy.

[teal wigeon]

rattrap? amal?

interesting choices

[teal wigeon]

people (including me) like alchemist + bashbreaker

acid from bash goes with his fire

[lethal merlin]

I use golden disc and forge had Bashbreaker on him before though because of acid and fire

[mint turtle]

Hi sorry I haven't been keeping up well enough but I thought Zenergon was available for shanix for all levels as opposed to low levels, but now I don't see it. Was that a dream I had?🤔

[teal wigeon]

what lvl are you

[mint turtle]

93

I haven't been able to purchase zenny in a long time but someone I know was saying they made it available for all with shanix, not just < lvl 80 or whatever the threshold is / was.

[teal wigeon]

thats why

they moved it back down for people lower than lvl 80

[solemn vine]

after the update, there is 0 z-energon in shanix store

even 5-star Omega Supreme/ Overlord disappeared in any page of your main faction store if players haven't bought him yet

and 2 5-star Monkey/ 5-star BW Meg in shanix store for us to buy if you bought the one in your main faction already

[solemn vine]

you will see 5s Monkey/ 5s BW Meg + 4s OS/ OL part in special page of shanix store if you haven't bought Monkey/ BW Meg and 4s OS/ OL yet

[solemn vine]

no 5-star OS/ OL in any page of your main faction too if you haven't bought it yet

[spark karma]

I am left with Leo Prime and Nosecone from batch 16. Haven’t rolled any bot from batch 13 yet. Should I go for batch 16 still or go for 13? I am nowhere close to getting 5* Ruination, so that’s not really a reason for me to roll for batch 13. But I do have a 5 star sword of balance.

[solemn vine]

Leo prime is really good in the present

[spark karma]

Thanks! Worth the risk with Nosecone?

[solemn vine]

if you unlocked 3 bots, only Nose and Leo, so it's 50%

[spark karma]

Yeah. Is 5 star optimal Optimus comparable? I am thinking like 50% for Leo Prime or 60% for one of Optimal, Roadbuster or Sentius.

[solemn vine]

if you have 3 bots left in Optimus Optimal batch, so it's 33.33% for each

[solemn vine]

Optimus Optimal is good too

[spark karma]

Ok thanks!

[teal wigeon]

yep its gone

oh well

[solemn vine]

i think maybe you need unlock 4s OS/ OL first to see it in store? Before it didn't require it, i saw 5s and 4s OS/ OL

[teal wigeon]

most likely

wouldnt make sense otherwise

like how titans worked

[solemn vine]

but why we see 2 5s BW Meg/ Monkey in shanix store?

[teal wigeon]

i only see one so glitch prob

[solemn vine]

you haven't bought monkey yet?

[solemn vine]

i see 2 BW Meg in shanix store

[teal wigeon]

never

waste of shanix

[solemn vine]

and the problem is: the dup of any 5-star bot is ONLY 500 5s shards

[teal wigeon]

ive spent all of mine on zen

[solemn vine]

it gone again

[teal wigeon]

yep now im gonna be grinding zen

the annoying way

[spark karma]

Which of the following 5* bots are worthy of getting SA11 please? Ironhide, Optimus Primal, Slingshot, Hound, Smokescreen, Sunstreaker, Beachcomber, Bluestreak, Huffer?

[solemn vine]

Smokey, Beach, or Bluestreak

[spark karma]

Ok thanks!

[brisk swift]

Are there any news on 5* Volcanicus/Predaking release date?

[gilded nacelle]

From Space Ape?

https://tenor.com/bmtt5.gif

[brisk swift]

Not this year I guess...

[solemn vine]

and 5s Trypticon event, no news too

[teal wigeon]

Why would that be an event?

[solemn vine]

because SA can get more money

[brisk swift]

Has anyone tried Drift/Barricade with Forge of Solus?

[teal wigeon]

ye people like it

almost as much as TT with the forge

[brisk swift]

How is TT with the Forge compared to him with Bashbreaker/Gabu?

[teal wigeon]

never heard someone put bashbreaker on em ngl

[lyric fossil]

out of all 4* cons which should i focus on?

[gilded nacelle]

For what? War? Defense? Outposts? Events?

What's your strategy?

[lyric fossil]

Everything, especially Offence

[cold nest]

What hq are u

[lyric fossil]

11

At my alt

[cold nest]

In my opinion

I think you should focus on your 4* while you can upgrade 3* to like 20 so you could level up rank faster to upgrade hq

[gilded nacelle]

For now I'd go Gnaw, Megatron, Offroad, Shockwave and knockout

[lyric fossil]

K ty

[gilded seal]

Megatron, offroad, dirtbag, knockout and shockwave are the better ones that you have

[brisk swift]

I thought Bashbreaker was a common choice for T2 Megs

[teal wigeon]

it is i mean on Twintwist

[brisk swift]

I see, we meant different bots

[teal wigeon]

yep

[solemn vine]

T2 Meg is Optimus Optimal (the monkey on skateboard)

[lyric fossil]

Is swoop any good/worth focusing?

[teal wigeon]

great outpost bot

not so great on offense

bro is a twig and gets smacked easily

[lyric fossil]

Alrighty

[shell forge]

So why is it when I click on a x10 decepticon crystal and got autobots instead?

I’m new I started 4 days ago 🥲

[gilded nacelle]

Are you sure you weren't on the autobot tab?

Don't open the autobot crystals. Just open a support ticket and ask them to take back the crystals and refund your shards

[shell forge]

Well too late lol and idk why unless I use cyber credits it only says autobots

[gilded nacelle]

Very weird. It says decepticon crystals but the coloring is autobot.

[shell forge]

And I just thought maybe it was a glitch so I summoned and 4 3* autobots and I’m like well I’m team decepticon though 🤣🤣

[solemn vine]

hey, i just noticed you are using old version of this game, because i saw batch in your main store, but in new version, batch is placed in another tab

[solemn vine]

you can send a ticket to SA to ask their help, but, they know what you did in game

[solemn vine]

he is using old version of this game, if you look at his screenshot, batch is placed in the main store, no any tab in there

[solemn vine]

because you openned crystals which you bought, so i don't think SA will refund you. I suggest you should send a ticket, maybe they help, who knows?

[shell forge]

I updated it and there’s no new update for me to do

[solemn vine]

do you see batches in another tab, or only in 1 tab?

[shell forge]

I see only what I screenshot above but it was working fine until I updated it lol

[shut finch]

@main heart pins

[brisk swift]

Is it worth buying the 4th lab slot or may be there are better ways of spending cybercoins?

[teal wigeon]

if you really have no other place to spend them, i would

but not necessary

[gilded nacelle]

It was worth it to me. But even with a 4th slot I still have a large backlog of level 60 bots waiting for their turn. It really depends how flexible you want to be for researching new bots.

[wheat hull]

What batch should I go for, my only five stars are smokescreen and jetfire

[lethal merlin]

Why not continue with 7

[wheat hull]

well one of the five stars i got was from one of the anniversary events and i think the other time i was going for rhinox

and ive come back to the game after a while so i dont really know whos great and what not

so i was just hoping to get some advice

[jolly island]

Batch 7 is one of the best batches, there are no bad bots there, you can go for it

or if you believe in your luck you can basically gamble for b16

60/40 odds, 3 good bots and 2 bad ones

[gilded nacelle]

If you only have two 5* bots I'd suggest sticking with batch 7. Go for guaranteed good bots instead of getting stuck with Huffer in the current batch

[wheat hull]

some people have suggested batch ten or thirteen

thoughts?

[lethal merlin]

They're good but have some bad/decent bots I suggest just sticking with 7

[shell forge]

Is it better to just use the 4 stars?

[gilded nacelle]

Rodimus Unicronus can still be very useful even as a 3* Snapdragon and Lugnut are good for sac strategies or if a player stuck their base by itself near the top of the screen.

[shell forge]

I just got a 4 star of him so good to know

[lethal merlin]

Cutty is also very good even at 3*, used it until Hq 15 or 16 aa I got the 4* very late

[shell forge]

Thank you I’m decepticon but I have a few autobots

[lethal merlin]

Tracks is the autobot equivalent to Cutthroat, focus on your main faction

My Cutty on my con account only took him to lvl 40 as I got the 4* a lot earlier

[shell forge]

Ah yes I just saw this and upgraded to lvl 3

[frigid valley]

Is someone willing to dm me and help me build my squads? Thanks🙏

[vital bison]

Batch 10 and 13 are better than 7, imho … but all 3 are “best”

[teal wigeon]

just ask here

[shell forge]

Is hard raids difficult in alliances or what do they mean by hard raid, apologize if it’s a silly question

[solemn vine]

yes, Hard raid is difficult mode in alliance raid

[fickle briar]

Is he good in def with his last ability? Compared to liokaiser?

[solemn vine]

no, don't use him for defense, he is the best for offense

[solemn vine]

compare to Liokai, if you know the defense is 4s Liokai, it's easy to dodge his 4s Hack, but if you don't know he is on defense, so it depends on you deploy your combiner first, or your bots first

[noble dew]

What squads can I make with these

[nimble coral]

what kind of squad?

war squad? or raid squad?

or just a squad for pvp battle

[gilded nacelle]

You can make several squads with those. What types of squads depends on your strategy and game mode

[noble dew]

Pvp

[spark karma]

I have SA max’ed out for the bots with green ticks. I now have enough sparks to do it for one bot. Any suggestion who should it be please? Thanks in advance!

[spark karma]

Opps. Twins twist is also maxed out.

[lethal merlin]

Leo

[spark karma]

Thanks! No doubt Leo is a really great bot. But I am wondering if his SA11 is really worth it? Does it significantly improve his survival odds given his long range?

[lethal merlin]

Sa 11 gives enemies -20% speed and attack speed it's quite useful

[spark karma]

Ok thanks!

[glacial siren]

It’s 30%, not 20%.

[lethal merlin]

You're right I only have 4* and that is 20%

[lethal merlin]

This is my friend's for stats

[gilded nacelle]

Leo Slingshot or Bluestreak

[spark karma]

Thanks! Am thinking really hard about bluestreak. Another option I am thinking is to wait for my next 5* roll. I am trying to get impactor because of 5* ruination. I remembered impactor was really good a couple of years ago. But am not sure if he is still relevant in today’s gaming meta to go for max SA. (I just started playing this game after stopping for almost 2 years).

[lethal merlin]

I'd say Imp is still ok but not something you must have. Here's my friend's Bluestreak the combat is Nightstick, Glitch and Top heavy also work and his G1

[lethal merlin]

Pipes, Optimal optimus, Beachcomber, Leo Prime and Minerva are among the best bots currently

[spark karma]

Got it, thanks!

[lethal merlin]

Those are some bots most players have in their teams other bots are more subjective depending on playstyle

[spark karma]

Agree! But also looking to expand my play style.

[lethal merlin]

The bots I mainly see are, Gunners Warpath, Bluestreak, Seaspray, Smokescreen. Jets Air raid, Slingshot, SG Jetfire, Tracks. Specials are mainly Leo, Beachcomber, Optimal, Red alert, Blaster, sometimes I see Rodimus, Optimus prime, Tarn. Warriors Rook, Pipes, Twintwist, Dinobot, sometimes Inferno. Medics are mainly Minerva and Wheeljack maybe Junkheap or First aid if you use 2.

[frigid valley]

Who should I replace a ratchet 3* with?

This team is in dire need of a healer

[lethal merlin]

I'd replace Hoist or Silverbolt

[desert aurora]

Is there no way to acquire Z Energon other than from wars, dispatch missions, and Elimination mode?

[lethal merlin]

You can buy with shanix

[vital jay]

Hey guys. I was wondering if this glitch that I’m currently facing is not only my problem but a problem that others are facing. I’m a decepticon and my crystals have been showing and giving me autobots. It’s been like this for the past 1 week and 5 days and I’m starting to get frustrated on what to do because I’m a beginner and I don’t have any other means of obtaining deceptions in order to grow. Please advice on what I should do and help me bring attention to this glitch so that the devs can take action

[kind arrow]

It’s a known glitch at this time

[vital jay]

Is there anything I can do myself??

[lethal merlin]

All my con accounts are past Hq 8 and are normal, so either save til that or contact support

[vital jay]

Ok thanks

Just hope they fix the bug soon

[lethal merlin]

After Hq 8 you'll have 2 tabs for crystals but yeah hopefully they fix it soon

[vital jay]

K I’ll grind and get to Hq lvl 8

[rustic roost]

Could anyone give me advice on what to do with a four-star Metalhawk? I’m not new to TFEW, but I am having a bit of a challenge figuring out where he’d be a great helper.

[desert aurora]

When will Z Energon appear? At what HQ level?

[lethal merlin]

Elimination mode is unlocked at Hq 12

Z energon appears at the same time

[desert aurora]

Oh, thanks!

Is there a way for me to buy Z Energon? Don't see them in Resources nor Shanix.

[gilded nacelle]

See @lethal merlin 's response above

[solemn vine]

SA did a mistake, players under X level can't buy z-energon in shanix store, and i don't know which level can buy it, a few said from lv80...

[lethal merlin]

I have alts in the 60s that can buy it but I have heard of lower lvls not being able to buy

I'll check my Hq 13 lvl 40 something accout later

[desert aurora]

I was level 37 and still no z energon on sight...thanks, man

[lethal merlin]

My Hq 13 lvl 41 can't buy it, my lvl 69 account can

[solemn vine]

so, from HQ lv15 can buy z-energon in shanix store?

[desert aurora]

Hq 15? Oh, okay. Thanks @solemn vine

[lethal merlin]

Nice to have a confirmed minimum

[rustic roost]

Quick bump if anyone has found any practical use for Metalhawk. His skill isn’t really much of a help, so far as I can see.

[cold nest]

Which combat batch should I go for?

[solemn vine]

weapon batch, the 5s forge, or the newest combat batch (the batch with more than 5 combat bots)

[teal wigeon]

ask guts he loves em

[brisk swift]

I've got 3 short questions: 1. What is better on Optimus Prime: Quintus+Terror Bird or Quintus+Enerax? 2. What is better on Wheeljack: G1 + Kunai or Micronus+Kunai? 3. What is better on Optimal Optimus: Golden Disc+Bashbreaker or Alchemist+Prima Star Sabre?

[kind arrow]

G1 and Kunai for Wheeljack

[glacial siren]

Optimus: I’d pick Quntius + Petrax.

Wheeljack: G1 and Kunai. Micronus really only works well on a healer when it’s a dual healer team.

Optimal Optimus: Golden Disk is best for defensive use. Alchemist + Prima’s Star Saber would be better offensively.

[brisk swift]

Quintus+Enerax doesn't work the same way as Quintus+Pterax?

[glacial siren]

Enerax doesn’t heal directly, it boosts the health of a bot, increases the amount of healing it receives, boosts the bot’s DPS when hit with an elemental attack, and deploys when the bot dies.

[untold grail]

Could I please get some suggestions on team comps for two war and raid teams in addition to my current teams?

• Current war team: Pipes (5-star), Optimus Prime, Elita-1 (5-star), Tracks, Air Raid, Bluestreak (5-star), Roadbuster, Minerva (5-star)
• Current raid team: Pipes (5-star), Drift, Optimus Prime, Tracks, Blades, Red Alert, Roadbuster, Minerva (5-star)

[lethal merlin]

Pipes, Beachcomber, Leo/Optimal, Blaster, Red alert/Tracks, Air raid, Bluestreak, Minerva

Pipes 4*, Roadbuster, Twintwist, Leo/Optimal, Red alert/Tracks Smokescreen, Seaspray, Minerva 4*

Raid: Optimus, Rodimus, Inferno, Twintwist, Slash Blaster, Red alert/Tracks, Minerva

This is my opinion

[untold grail]

Thanks for the feedback, I probably should have clarified though. I'm happy with my current war/raid team, I'm instead looking to make two additional teams for each game mode using the remainder of my roster. My listing my current teams was more to show which bots weren't available for further teams in that specific game mode.

[lethal merlin]

Right well I usually run 4 tanks, 3 ranged and 1 healer

Warriors: Pipes, Sideswipe, Inferno, Twintwist, Dinobot,
Air: Air raid, Tracks, Blades, SG Jetfire, Firefly, Skydive, Slingshot
Gunner: Bluestreak, Seaspray, Skids, Smokescreen, Sixgun
Triple: I don't use any in a team even though I have Lynx 5*
Medic: Minerva and Ratchet as backup
Special: Blaster, Prime, Roadbuster, Red alert, Beachcomber, Blurr, Optimal, Rodimus, Leo, Impactor, Sentius, Laser op, Slash, Kup, Hot rod

I personally don't use Elita or Saber in teams as their ability is expensive but I like them for farming z energon, I also use Drift for that. Trailbreaker, Alpha trion, Ariel and Metalhawk can be good I personally haven't used them much

[teal wigeon]

always sort by star rating

wait you did but you grouped it by class

lol so strange

[untold grail]

Do you have any suggestions for which bots normally work well together?

[lethal merlin]

I listed what I consider "good" bots of each class and I run 4 tanks, 3 ranged and 1 medic

[untold grail]

I mean any specific synergies that you would suggest?

[lethal merlin]

Give me min was busy yesterday

[untold grail]

No worries, thanks for the help 😄

[lethal merlin]

2 war and 1 raid teams from your remaining roster
Pipes 4*, Beachcomber, Leo/Optimal, Red alert, Bluestreak 4*, Smokescreen, Slingshot, Minerva 4*

Sideswipe, Blaster, Leo/Optimal, Twintwist, Seaspray, Skids, SG Jetfire, Ratchet

Raid: Optimal, Rodimus, Inferno, Twintwist, Blaster, Slash, Red alert/Tracks, Minerva
Can use 3* Tracks if you want both Red alert and Tracks in your other raid team

[untold grail]

Much appreciated, thank you

[lethal merlin]

You're welcome

[spring saffron]

i have enough for a 5 star combat bot. I really want to pair with either terrormander, Megatron or Deathsaurus

who should I get?

or try to get lol

[gilded nacelle]

Personally I'd go for the con versions of buzzstrike or nightstick

[spring saffron]

bet

this is what i got

[teal wigeon]

put this guy on predacon inferno

[spring saffron]

i only have a 3* inferno atm

why is that a good matchup?

i love inferno, dude carried me hard in the lower levels at first

[teal wigeon]

sb megatron is a good companion for him

[spring saffron]

funny enough next day I hit on a 4* inferno lmao

[teal wigeon]

Nice

[shut eagle]

What's the consensus on Explosive Rounds? Are they good to use in general or am I better off stic king with Attack Increase and High Velocity Rounds?

[teal wigeon]

for auto cannons

idek tbh

[brisk swift]

Will 5* Predaking require additional 2,5k 5* shards to rank up?

[glacial siren]

I’d suspect so.

[opal abyss]

Yes

[brisk swift]

Is there any use for Goldfire and Hot Spot in wars? And what are the best setups for them?

[teal wigeon]

goldfire has good range

idk about hotspot

[spring saffron]

hey all

choices choices choices!!

which one do yall reccomend i go for?

[opal abyss]

Batch 16

[gilded nacelle]

Wait until details.for the new batch are released

[spring saffron]

i’m ngl yall

i was impatient

i got spinister

[teal wigeon]

@gilded nacelle where would you put liege maximo

[gilded nacelle]

I used to say put him on a rush warrior who you can use to take out the defensive liege core on a base. But now I think buzzstrike and the solus forge are better options.

So on offense I'd say give liege to one of your forward bots who will likely get close to hacking defenses.

Or give it to one of your outpost bots

[teal wigeon]

ok now do defensive core

[gilded nacelle]

A lot of people put them on auto cannons because of the high health.

[teal wigeon]

[lone obsidian]

I just recently got a 4 star star saber bot. Is he good?

[gilded nacelle]

He can be depending on your strategy and the base you're attacking. A bit too expensive for my tastes though

[lone obsidian]

I see. I don't think I can afford him tho. I spend most of my points on blue streak to take out outpost bots or photon beams or missile launchers so I guess I'm not using him.

[teal wigeon]

@gilded nacelle which combat for bluestreak

[spring saffron]

Finally unlocked my GOAT. Is he any good in the game?

BRO

IM ON A ROLL!!!

[teal wigeon]

he fell out the meta but still a good tank

[teal wigeon]

nice

get his crown on him

[spring saffron]

who is meta?

[solemn vine]

T2 Megatron, Deluge, Wildrider, BW Inferno, ...

[teal wigeon]

^also smokescreen

[spring saffron]

any of these good pulls?

[gilded nacelle]

I'd say Acid Storm is your best pull. Nightbird can be useful for sac strategy. Long Haul is the weakest of these 3

[spring saffron]

Who is this good on?

[gilded nacelle]

I'd give it to your rush bots or the ones most likely to get close to enemy bots

[hidden pawn]

Hey what do people here think of 5 star Blades ? He any good?

[kind arrow]

He’s great, just don’t use his G1 core

[hidden pawn]

So what core should you use?

[kind arrow]

I’m using Nexus at the moment

[hidden pawn]

Intersting, say if I use Nexus on another bot then what could be a secondary option?

[kind arrow]

Prima/Flak.

[hidden pawn]

Thanks, sounds good to me

Also does anyone know which healer they prefer between 5 star Ratchet and Wreck Gar, I would use minerva but unfortunately I ain't got her at 5*

[gilded nacelle]

Of those two, I'd say Ratchet. Do you have gold or gmetal g1 cores for either?

[hidden pawn]

You sure?, I got Wreck gars gmetal g1 core but nothing for ratchet atm

[gilded nacelle]

If you have wreckgar's gmetal then use that for now

[hidden pawn]

Hey does anyone know what cores are good on blades?

[gilded nacelle]

By trying them out and observing the results

[teal wigeon]

EO first then his G1

[brisk swift]

Does Sandstorm/Octone have a use in cybertron/prime wars? And what g1 is better for him - toxic or supply?

[gilded nacelle]

Depends if you want him to do more healing or damage

[teal wigeon]

ask jazz

[brisk swift]

I guess I want more healing. I've heard with his sa11 and g1 he's rather capable. May be someone here is using him in the squad

[teal wigeon]

ask @lavish crag

[brisk swift]

Thanks

[lavish crag]

Yo, the sandstorm Main here

I use Alchemist and Topshot on mine as he helped my Squad through thick and Thin, whether it's events (the highest zone possible in mayhem too) or Cyber wars. Not too sure about Prime

But if you're using Alchemist on someone else or don't have it, Supply will work better

[brisk swift]

I have Alchemist on Optimus Optimal. For Sandstorm I've got both his g1 cores. Will Trenchfoot be also suitable for him?

[gilded nacelle]

Trenchfoot's usefulness depends on who else is on your squad

[brisk swift]

Like Cosmic Blaster? Someone with Nightstick and Topshot on the squad?

[lavish crag]

That'll work too

[inland canyon]

Hi everyone. I have been playing the game for just little while now. I want to make better use of my resources. Can you tell me which of these bots I should be concentrating on. Also if there are any I should stop using my resources on. Thanks

[glass warren]

[uncut bane]

I am now HQ 15 and 60 lvl
I upgraded all the buildings to max level except wall and mines and I still need 5 lvls to unlock HQ16
What can I do to level it up?

[opal abyss]

Have you been constantly upgrading all your bots both Autobot and cons?

[uncut bane]

I only upgrading auto bot

[teal wigeon]

do alittle bit for cons

also obv dont spark tem

[uncut bane]

Ok, thx

[unkempt summit]

Watch the first response either be boot Trailbreaker or Sky Lynx
(Gold league war team btw)

[teal wigeon]

Boot sky lynx unless you are pairing with topshot

Need another tank

[lapis lantern]

What's the most famous base layout strategy?

[gilded nacelle]

What HQ level?

[lapis lantern]

17

[eternal schooner]

Any tricks to finish mds or reduce its damage?

[unkempt summit]

Sky Lynx🔥
(Don't unless you're serious about Sky cause he's handicapped severely by his star rating, lv and SA lv)
Anything that isn't an EMP or hack also works like Tigerhawk or Streetwise
To finish an MDS? Depends on the context. Usually a fire + acid combo will beat its HP down but I got insanely lucky with a 5s SGJF pull.
TL;DR - Get lucky or smother MDS with status effects

[unkempt summit]

(Please note for anyone else reading this that I am joking about Sky)

[glacial siren]

For reducing an MDS’ damage, Tracks. Trailbreaker (You need to be good at pathing for this to be effective). Can work well.
Or you could utilize Streetwise, Metalhawk, or Brainstorm. For Metalhawk specifically he also reduces the range of the defenses meaning at SA11 a MDS Cluster is approx doing half damage. Streetwise (SA11) is an interesting bot as well, with his ability he can either apply 50% walk and attack speed to your team or 50% walk and attack slowdown to opponents, slowing an MDS essentially reduces it’s damage output.
Same applies with the slowdown with Brainstorm (just be mindful that a Non-SA11 Brainstorm’s ability may not last long). Brainstorm gives the highest slowdown to a cluster (95% Slowdown) which can be used to essentially freeze MDS, and to combo up with other bots.

For how I take a MDS (Or Shield Gen Cluster as its more commonly referred too as) I combo up either Air Raid + Smokescreen + Leo Prime, Air Raid + Smokescreen + Bluestreak (Non-Fire Team), or Leo Prime + Ark.

[dusty stratus]

From what I’ve heard cutthroat/tracks has been breaking for some people

[glacial siren]

If there’s an FFD in range, it will cancel Tracks/Cutthroat and Trailbreaker/Exhaust’s Shield.

[dusty stratus]

Ic

[lyric fossil]

Which 4* to focus (any aspect)

[unkempt summit]

Which zone do you usually hit/want to push into and what war league?

[lyric fossil]

Saving up for Metroplex

I mean campaign 10

[unkempt summit]

Oh-💀
You'll need anyone that can do damage reduction or decoys/minions that can take shots (Trip is on camp 10 right?) whenever it be tracks or mass EMPs.
I think my crew was lv 50 with a few SA 11s when I completed the campaign😅.
Any form of damage unless it KOs (combos like fire + acid are an exception) is quite literally useless since most of the time what happens is it'll be a waste of points which could be better used to keeping the team alive since they are the equivalent of paper figures under a steel dome.
I don't remember much but your main issues when it comes to stuff like this is usually AoE.

[austere flame]

Air Raid, Rook, Ironhide, Tracks, SG Jetfire, Jetfire, Optimus, Seaspray, Slingshot, Pipes, Afterbreaker, Ratchet, Sixgun.

[austere flame]

Titan campaign isn't that bad, only one of the missions involves going head to head with a titan...then get a titan as support for the end.

[unkempt summit]

I finished it with a lv 50 team (no biner cause I legitimately forgot) and they where carried hard + clutched a lot
I remember being down to a singular Red Heat💀
But yeah it isn't that bad if your team is higher than lv 50

[austere flame]

I don't remember what level bots I had at the time though I think it was below 20k team (not 100% sure though), Having Headstrong/Pipes and Flatline/Minerva makes things easier.

Worst case just biner carry will do.

[unkempt summit]

The lowest team power rating I saw that can survive in worst-case scenario Z15 is about 15K
But you'd need essentially meta bots for this

[austere flame]

That with 7-8 bots I assume? Less bots in the team would allow stronger bots and shield warriors can often solo...Plus Predacon Inferno/Leo Prime can burn bases by themselves...more the level of the bots in question being used.
Outposts are often not so good, so with aoe should be fine (I see way too many Primals and silly stuff like that ).

[unkempt summit]

Ye 8 bots I think

When you push into Z15 you'd mainly want to find bots who can deal with these four:
Spider mines/Build Bots
MDS
Outposts/biner (why are they more tanky than the HQ)
Anyone with some kind of damage reduction

[scenic spear]

Can anyone recommend base structure for HQ16? Because I lose when someone attacks me every time...

[lapis lantern]

It's 17 but you can adjust

[eternal schooner]

Who are good outpost bots, bot cores, and combats/weapons for my base design?
Random bots chosen for base trial so not to give away stasis mine locations

[gilded nacelle]

That depends on your defense strategy.

Twintwist, beachcomber, and red alert are popular in high level wars but since you didn't share your strategy you'll have to determine how well those bots align

[eternal schooner]

@gilded nacelle my strategy is to prevent my base from failing in defense. 😆

[gilded nacelle]

In that case use any bot until you develop an actual strategy

[scenic spear]

This is my base rn. I always lose

Also for some reason I upgraded all buildings but my level is still 61 and for HQ upgrade I need 65

Upgrading bots doesn't help because it gives very few points

[icy peak]

Defenses are very clustered together, tons of free energy points at the front.

[teal wigeon]

What HQ

[blissful karma]

Still, upgrading the bots/cons are the only way left, after all buildings are upgraded.
So make sure to upgrade all (including the 2*s).

[dusty stratus]

15 based off rank

[teal wigeon]

If HQ 15 then defense isn't that important

You getting wiped either way

[sly cave]

So I bought the legacy 1 5star pack yesterday and didn’t receive my bot why was that?

[lapis lantern]

Open crystal

[solemn vine]

there is a 5-star crystal in your space bridge, enter it, and open it

[solemn vine]

you have 20% to open the one you want

[subtle scaffold]

Hi guys

Im an old player returning in the game after a very long time i need help with all my bots and combat bots plus what prime cores should i use on them if anyone is free then pls help me

[gilded nacelle]

Nightstick, C.L, Buzzstrike and Forge of Solus are very helpful combats. I also like Prima Star Saber, Sidetrack, Rattrap, SB Optimus and Jaze. Big Daddy is great combat for defense.

[subtle scaffold]

Ok thank youu

[brisk swift]

What combats would you personally upgrade to lvl11 first?

[gilded nacelle]

C.L and Nightstick

[tepid siren]

So I'm thinking of maybe going for legacy 2, 5 stars for one unit thoughts?

[crude glacier]

Which bot from legacy 2 do u wanna get?

[tepid siren]

I already got skuburst but the other options are good windblade wheeljack optimus and drift

[crude glacier]

Ahh was curious cos I'm going for legacy 2 as well, for Megatron specifically.

I was told that windblade isn't the best but she isn't bad either. Optimus, if u bring to SA11 is a top tier bot according to val's tier list

[teal wigeon]

What bots do you have

[tepid siren]

Wym exactly

[uncut bane]

Does a 5 star first Aid better then a 4 star Minerva?

[kind arrow]

No

[unkempt summit]

Unless you can get the drones to not die from pulls out long list I wrote from when I used to use FA, Minerva is generally better overall

[austere flame]

Minerva has a fire and forget ability, way easier to manage.

[unkempt summit]

And then there's CL-💀

[teal wigeon]

Your 5 stars

[uncut bane]

Which power core is good for stasis mine?

[uncut bane]

Ok, thx

[gilded nacelle]

Depends on your strategy

[subtle scaffold]

What will be more effective

1. Use my war squad bots(8) one by one in the mayhem mode and max them (15fc aatacks)

2. Use my full war squad in a single battle and keep repeating it on 15 cycle

[crude glacier]

If ur doing the first strat, would the zone level ur doing be lower than the 2nd?

Wait nvm, I don't know. I don't do power leveling yet so I've go no experience 👍 😂 good luck tho. My guess is 1 would be more effective cos of that delicious solo xp

[subtle scaffold]

Yupe thats what i think but on 15fc recharge i can use the whole squad so i think it would be same

I also dont know

[crude glacier]

Yeahhh this requires actual number crunching because it's hard to tell on the spot

[subtle scaffold]

Yupe

Usually my war squad bots solos 7500 and 15000 zone and in totaly they take down 19k zone easily and sometimes 25k too

[crude glacier]

What is the xp bonus percentage for the 19k zone? I can't see rn cos my highest is 15k

[crude glacier]

🤓 alright, let's see here...

[crude glacier]

In the solos at 7.5k, how many bots do u deploy?

[subtle scaffold]

1

[crude glacier]

Also I assume ur 8-member war squad at 19k zones, are all deployed?

[subtle scaffold]

Yupee

[crude glacier]

Omg okay, so actually doing 19k with all 8 members at a time is faster than one by one at 7.5k

Wait lemme double check

Yesss I'm certain. 19k w 8 bots faster than 7.5k w 1 bot

Assuming all 8 bots need leveling

[crude glacier]

But if <8 bots need lvling then better to do solos (requires fewer battles to reach max)

[uncut bane]

Does Optimual still good in 3star? Cause I am thinking where my alchemist core use.

[subtle scaffold]

less than 8 or more than 8??

[crude glacier]

Less than 8

It's only cost-effective to do 19k with full squad, if every member needs leveling

If even 1 member is already maxed, it's not as worth as solo-ing

In fact, the fewer bots u need leveling, the more fc-efficient it is to solo instead

[crude glacier]

U got any 4s options? Sorry, don't know who's good w alchemist

But hopefully someone else can help if u show ur roster

[crude glacier]

Lemme summarize

If x number of bots need leveling, and

A) u deploy x or fewer in 19k, it is faster than soloing one at a time in 7.5k

B) u deploy more than x in 19k, it is slower than soloing in 7.5k

[subtle scaffold]

Ohk got it thanks brother 👍

[crude glacier]

👍 np was a fun challenge

[subtle scaffold]

Yeah you're a great mathematician 😂

[uncut bane]

Roadbuster or sixgun I guess?

[glacial siren]

Sixgun can work, you’ll be sacrificing some ability fire power however. Roadbuster can work too, but same situation as Sixgun.

Twintwist is decent with Alchemist, his ideal core would be Amalgamous, but Alchemist is a okay substitute for it.

[uncut bane]

Ok thx, I will use it on twin twist

[languid edge]

and add the forge to him he’s a beast

[uncut bane]

Forge?

[languid edge]

he survives a lot better with it

[uncut bane]

Is it a combat bot?

[gilded nacelle]

Weapon

[glacial siren]

Weapons are a different class of equipable items that you can give to your bots.
For the most part Weapons and C.O.M.B.A.Ts are mostly alike, both being in the C.O.M.B.A.T Chips and both using C.O.M.B.A.T Spark to upgrade them. The main difference is that the 5 Star Weapons are in their own batch.

Oh and in terms of appearance, C.O.M.B.A.Ts are small bots that turn into weapons, shields, cassettes, etc. While weapons are… well actual weapons.

[uncut bane]

Ok I found it, thank you

[teal wigeon]

first you have to get it

[subtle scaffold]

On which bot should this bad boy go??

[glacial siren]

Leo Prime.
Bluestreak works too.

[subtle scaffold]

I dont have any of them 🥲

[subtle scaffold]

Thus are my bots

[glacial siren]

Bots with ranged attacks or abilities that keep them back for a good bit would be ideal for SB Optimus.
Amazing C.O.M.B.A.T, definitely war team worthy.

[teal wigeon]

Only 4 star who deserves extra attention is tracks otherwise you will get them eventually

[subtle scaffold]

Yupe upgrading him rook and wheeljack

[languid edge]

these many 4* that can use that as well

[dusty stratus]

4 star and 5 star seem to not have accurate stats

[uncut bane]

I just got enough shard for a 5 star crystal

Which one should I pick?

[gilded nacelle]

I'd go for Pipes, Slug or Leo Prime

[uncut bane]

I mean the 5 star legacy crystal

Random one from 5 crystal

which one should I choose

[gilded nacelle]

That's what I meant. I'd pick the batches those bots are in

[uncut bane]

Ok, thx

[outer knot]

What is better g1 optimus prime or his matrix?

[kind arrow]

G1

[solemn vine]

which bot of a batch do you like the most? choose it, it's random, 20% for the 1st try

[shut eagle]

What's a good combat to pair with a 5* Elita? I'm thinking Windstrike, potentially.

[glacial siren]

Armour + Forge makes her an amazing sac bot.

[untold grail]

How does 4-star Minerva compare to 5-star Ratchet and Wheeljack?

[untold grail]

Much appreciated 😄

[uncut bane]

Thx for helpping , I chose the legacy 13, which have roadbuster, rotorstorm, scattershot, optimal optimus and sentius magnus, and I rotorstorm

[charred dock]

What lvl energon storage do I need before I can upgrade deathsaurus's attack

[brisk swift]

Is Stylor/Sunbeam a meta bot? Worth pulling? Few tips about the setup please

[glacial siren]

Stylor/Sunbeam are neat C.O.M.B.A.Ts, they’re nice to have, not top meta but still useful.

They work well on Gunners with long ranged special abilities, bots such as Warpath, Seaspray, Bluestreak are some of the best pairings for Stylor/Sunbeam.
Hitting a cluster with their range reduction passive can be useful to stop the defenses from firing at the backline.

[brisk swift]

And how will this combat behave with Smokey? Is it better than Gatorface on him?

[glacial siren]

Right now they have a slightly strange interaction on bots.
Personally I prefer Sunbeam since his special effect isn’t a chance of happening and it affects more than one target. But it gets down to personal preference, maybe you prefer the damage from the critical hit and the glass gas.

[keen badger]

Is this the best setup for ARK?

[keen badger]

I want to update my base layout I am new to discord but I don't know how to find some new layout's

[shut finch]

What's your hq?

I'll get you a few

[shut finch]

@keen badger if you need more lmk

[wise musk]

Hey, I’m just looking for help for utilising my 5* Cons, COMBAT Bots, Weapons and my Prime Cores better. This is currently all I have in terms of 5*, any recommendations/suggestions of how to properly use them/what they’re best suited for?

[glacial siren]

If you have Cutthroat, Sinnertwin, and Flatline at 4 Star, I would recommend using them. They’re very great even not at 5 Star.

I would like to see more of your selection so I can make better suggestions. There are some C.O.M.B.A.Ts at lower star ratings that are better than others at higher star ratings.

[wise musk]

I’ve got every 4* minus Cybertron Starscream, SG Thundercracker, Dirge, Mixmaster, Quake, Crankcase, Kickback, Bomb-Burst and Scylla.

I don’t have the following 4* COMBAT bots. Fangatron, Vertebreak, Blowpipe, Lancelon, Doublecrosser, Tigerchest, Garu, Bombshock, Aimless, Catgut, SG Ravage and Tiptop.

And I have the 4* Dark Star Saber and Forge as well.

[glacial siren]

5 Star Headstrong: Quintius + 5 Star Forge

4 Star Flatline: Alpha Trion + 4 Star Ozu

5 Star Barricade: G1 + 4 Star Forge

4 Star Cutthroat: Prima + 5 Star Fracas

5 Star Runamuck: Vector + 4 Star Fracas (Outpost)

5 Star Guyhawk: G1 + 5 Star Cosmic Rust Blaster

5 Star Rippersnapper: G1 + Dark Star Saber

4 Star Headstrong: Megatronus + 3 Star Forge

4 Star Predacon Inferno: G-Metal G1 or Amal + 4 Star SB Megatron (If no G-Metal G1, use Amal instead)

4 Star T2 Megatron: Golden Disk or Amal + 2 Star Forge (Amal if you have G-Metal G1 for Predacon Inferno.)

4 Star Megatron: G1 + 4 Star Fireglide

4 Star Deluge: G1 + 4 Star Baro

4 Star Sinnertwin: Rejuvenate + 3 Star Fireglide

5 Star Onslaught: G1 + 5 Star SG Steeljaw

5 Star Swindle: G1 + 4 Star Fireline

5 Star Tantrum: G1 + 3 Star Baro

Heartburn would work best at your current state on Skrapnel, Full-Tilt, Or Runabout.

Power punch and Ravage aren’t as viable as most other C.O.M.B.A.Ts. A good amount of 4 Star Companions are better than those two.

(Also, do not use BW Megatron on your main team.)

[wise musk]

Sweet, thank you so much!

[valid gate]

Been trying to learn more about them since I unlocked them quite late. When it comes to the titans, any recommendations for offense and defense? Are there any specific builds that are recommended for them, as well?

Per a recommendation I got from my alliance, I redeemed shards to buy 3 star metroplex, and I’m currently less than 800 more shards away for either Fort Max or The Ark. Not sure who to invest in.

[gilded nacelle]

Right now, Ark

[shut finch]

Check the pins, you'll see the best builds for all the titans

[valid gate]

For offense, defense or both?

[valid gate]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[subtle scaffold]

How is the stylor combat and who is the best option for him?

[gilded nacelle]

I'd give him a gunner with a long range ability like smokescreen, warpath or bluestreak

[subtle scaffold]

Kk thanks

[storm thistle]

Are those builds also the optimal builds for Titan Assault?

[shut finch]

Indeed

Best builds

There's a slowdown build for Trypticon but it's primarily for defense

[shut finch]

G1 core and Nightstick, Topshot or CRB

[valid gate]

So long as we’re talking titans, it’s still not entirely clear. Is there one best suited for offense and one for defense?

[shut finch]

The ones pinned here are primarily best for offense, however, work well in defense as well

There's a Trypticon Slowdown build which some people prefer for defense.

It's been years so there might be some other builds people have come up with, I'll keep you updated

[valid gate]

Oh! Heh, I misspoke. I meant a specific titan, rather than a build, that’s recommended for those roles. Fair enough, though.

Unless the same applies, in which case, nvm.

[shut finch]

The ones here are the best ones for each titan

I don't get what you mean.

Ark is typically preferred for offense by most people - due to combos and personal preferences. He works good in defense too

However, with the advent of 5 star Metro, many will keep him on defense with one of those builds

I personally believe there should've been an option to run different titans on offense and defense accordingly. Nevertheless, you can switch around depending on what you require at that moment

[valid gate]

I guess I just figured that, in the same way that regular bots are best suited for specific roles and/or team builds, the titans functioned in a similar way. One being more defensively focused, one more offensive and another being more balanced or more of a support role. Sorry for the trouble. I get what you mean, though.

[shut finch]

Actually my fault for reading this correctly initially

Metroplex will be the best on defense now with that leverage

On offense you can use that or Ark, preferences

[crude glacier]

hello, i plan to use the following two teams for this weekends mayhem at z14

i am aiming for a 100% winrate w both teams, would appreciate it if ppl could point out possible weakpoints

some specifications:
-dirge has growl
-all air bots have either tiptop or fracas
-cutthroat has nexus prime core
-rampage has onyx + baro, so i expect him to b unkillable

[outer knot]

Can I buy z energon for shanix?

[crude glacier]

Yeah, starting from hq15 I think

[solemn vine]

when you are HQ lv15, the game unlocks the option for you to buy Z-energon in shanix store, and it will be forever as far as i know except the error from yodo1 😂

[charred dock]

How do I get Overlords Gigatank

[kind arrow]

Shanix

Or 5 star shards

[austere flame]

The tank costs 5k shanix.

[kind arrow]

Thanks for the information

[heady marsh]

As HQ 14 how do I set up my base

[gilded nacelle]

I wouldn't worry too much about it at hq14.

[shut finch]

Layouts don't matter until hq17/18

[patent surge]

I have none, what 5* combat pack / combat is good to roll for?

[heady marsh]

K

[kind arrow]

Fracus/Nightstick

[gilded nacelle]

C.L

[crude glacier]

Can confirm, these 2 squads gave me 100% win rate at z14 mayhem, close calls were due to fellbat wandering away as a scout does but that's about it

[gilded nacelle]

Fellbat is 💩. I'd try to replace him if I were you

[crude glacier]

😂 lmaooo. hes alright in that squad, he helps me if cutthroat is occupied, as his shocktower can draw aggro

but yeah he'd be the first to go if i get a better alternative

[rustic roost]

Which combat bot stays on the field after you deploy a combiner? Also, is it a situational thing? Like the combat must be transformed after falling into half health or something. Ran into this yesterday and wasn’t sure if it was just a glitch.

[crude glacier]

Heya, to my knowledge, all combats should not be on the field when biner is deployed

All of your combats*

So what u observed may have been a glitch, but im unsure

If it happens again could u record it? Am curious cos it never happened to me

[rustic roost]

Was pretty cool because he took the combiner’s hack while Ruin ran off. Will try to record if it happens again.

[crude glacier]

that does sound great. which combat was it if you can recall?

[rustic roost]

It was either Trip-up or Sidetrack. And I thought that was one of the original perks of the Combat- that he would stay on the battlefield to pull the adversaries away. I really hope I can recreate it. And I thought that was the original intent behind the bot; how quickly things get forgotten

[crude glacier]

i seee. my bet is on sidetrack. maybe something funky happened w the timing of him reviving + ur biner deploying that let him stay on the field

[austere flame]

Sidetrack I know had that sort of thing happen in the past.

[keen badger]

18 HQ but I changed it up a little bit

[keen badger]

Any suggestions who to put a 4* The Forge of Solus Prime?

[gilded nacelle]

I use it on rush warriors. But the right choice for you depends on your strategy

[subtle scaffold]

Smokescreen build?

[gilded nacelle]

He is about a medium build

[subtle scaffold]

Means?

[gilded nacelle]

Meaning between a small and a large build

[subtle scaffold]

Ohk

Which one would be more better according to you?

[gilded nacelle]

I use glitch and g1 core. But what is best for you depends on your strategy

Wozza shows an alternate build here

Can anyone confirm whats the highest bot level 70 or 75 ? its been a while, I don't remember 🥲

[crude glacier]

70 👌

[blissful remnant]

Hi all.
I would like to hear the opinion of many. I recently got access to titans. I want to know which titan 4* should I take first? Previously, it was clear that the strongest titan was Nemesis, since he is the last one. But now they have completely changed the balance of all titans. So what should I choose now?
Some players tell me that Nemesis has become worse now, although he is still not bad. And Scorponok has become a better alternative, since he has become balanced in both attack and defense. But I am not sure about all this. Previously, few people used Scorponok.

[vital bison]

Get all 3, grind in Titan Assault, and max out all 3. Start with Nemisis. But get all.

[solemn vine]

get all 3, with your process, 3 3-star titans, try to get 1 4-star titan (prefer Ark/ Nemesis), when your 4-star titan is high level (such as lv20), try one more 4-star titan, since the upgrade requires more days to complete

[teal wigeon]

TT

[valid gate]

Twin Twist, huh? I thought that was the case, since I’m planning to put mine on him, but good to have confirmation.

I currently have my 4 star forge on Ironhide, since I’m waiting and saving up for another 5 star weapon. Only have the forge and the star saber left.

[outer furnace]

How does one acquire the anniversary gift. I keep tapping claim and it just points at my alliance.

[gilded nacelle]

Bug

[shrewd helm]

Should I just stick to Overlord's 4* or eventually go for his 5* as well?

[solemn vine]

you must get 4s part to be able to rank him upto 4s, then you are able to rank him upto 5s if you have his 5s part

[gilded nacelle]

Ask again after he is rebalanced

[shrewd helm]

Any idea when said Rebalance is coming to the game?

[gilded nacelle]

No

[shrewd helm]

Oof.

[signal ember]

Anyone got hq17 base layout I can copy?

[solemn vine]

you see and do as same as the base layout, there is no copying & pasting layout in game

[signal ember]

Yeah I know that, just need to copy someone’s layout. Like a screenshot or something

[opal abyss]

Honestly just go look up some hq 18 layouts to give you some ideas from the top war teams

[signal ember]

so just google it essentially

[opal abyss]

Pretty much. I’d just go to war rankings in game, check out a team and layout you like and screenshot it

[gilded nacelle]

Or you could just look up top ranked bases in game

[tepid siren]

Why does earth wars restart so quickly

[split saffron]

50/50 between B6 and latest one.

[dusty stratus]

I am fine with the squad I normally use but I’m curious on what type of team composition yall would suggest

[dusty stratus]

the ones i usually always run is tm2 leo and pinf, as well as barricade or runabout since ive been unable to get a 5* warrior

[crude glacier]

If I had your bots, I'd make the following team to do mayhem with:

1. Deadend
2. Dirtbag
3. Leozack
4. T2 meg
5. Halfshell
6. Bomburst
7. Blastoff
8. Flatline
   (I ignored predacon, since he'd make any team composition easy to make)

That was pretty challenging, our bot pools r so different that I couldn't pick easily for certain roles

[crude glacier]

Sorry who is pinf?

[dusty stratus]

predacon inferno

[crude glacier]

Ohh gotcha

[shrewd helm]

Can anyone recommend a few potential squads that I can make using these 4* bots?
I wanna start building up multiple squads for events, wars etc

[crude glacier]

just to make sure, whats your squad size limit and what zone lvl do you do during mayhem events?

[shrewd helm]

I've currently got 7 spots on each squad, and I usually lvl up in Zone 13 in both Mayhem and Normal events

[crude glacier]

do u only use mayhem for lvling or would u like to maximize ur score as well?

[shrewd helm]

Preferably both

[crude glacier]

fair enough. then ud want to battle the highest mayhem zone lvl for ur scanner. whats ur scanner lvl rn?

[shrewd helm]

O ye, Zone 13 is my highest rn

[crude glacier]

ohhh okay

firstly, here's a guideline i use to design mayhem/war squads that u may find helpful

i can suggest at least 2 squads for u for z13 mayhem, which would be applicable for z14 as well

[shrewd helm]

Oh alright

[crude glacier]

(im not good at war atm, so i got nothing for u there. personally i always change my squad depending on the base layout)

[shrewd helm]

O ye it's fine

I'm actually not participating in wars yet

So ye, mainly just lf solid squads for levelling

[crude glacier]

oh for lvling, its more efficient to send out like 1-3 bots per battle or to use biner, or both

what you'd need r good solo bots that can clear bases or finish off hq at least

[shrewd helm]

Well yeah, but I'm kinda unsure of which bot's I should focus on leveling up first (in 4* category)

[crude glacier]

oh i misunderstood. so u meant u want to know which bots to prioritize leveling

[shrewd helm]

Yea, sry for the misunderstanding

[crude glacier]

np np, i gotchu

gimme a moment, lots of 4-stars to choose from

[shrewd helm]

O aight

[crude glacier]

instead of giving u a squad composition, ill list useful bots for each role. then u can mix and match from it to make ur squads

[crude glacier]

Outpost popper:

1. Blot
2. Headstrong/drillhorn/razorclaw/scrapper + deluge combo
3. Dirge (with growl equipped)
4. Deadend (with growl equipped. you would sac them both)

Tank:

1. Headstrong
2. Drillhorn
3. Razorclaw
4. Scrapper

AOE dps:

1. Predacon inferno (no need for another aoe DPS in predacon's squad, he is broken)
2. Octopunch
3. TM2
4. Acid storm
5. Quake (needs g1+tiptop for best general use)

Sniper DPS:

1. Predacon inferno (he is broken.)
2. Wildrider
3. 5s Halfshell
4. Blastoff
5. SG thundercracker
6. Skullsmasher (he may need his ab11, unsure cos i dont use him)

Medic:

1. 5s hook
2. 4s flatline

Support:

1. Dirtbag
2. Deluge

honorary mention for aoe/sniper dps is slipstream, but i didnt include her cos ideally u would pair her w brakeneck to trigger her ability

[shrewd helm]

Ah, I see, thankyou for the information 👍

[crude glacier]

hope it helps. just be aware that when balance patch drops, predacon will probably need another aoe dps bot, and also wont fullfill "sniper" role. i think

but everyone else should be safe to use in their current roles and all, including predacon, would b worth investing in imo

[gilded nacelle]

Can I get some advice to improve my war squad? I am hoping to be in prime league by the end of the month

[subtle scaffold]

guys is this build correct or should i change it??

[crude glacier]

what other options do u have for these?:
-scattershot's core
-smokescreen's combat

i dont see any issue w the rest

[subtle scaffold]

Scatt i dont have any good options but smoke i do have like nightstick and stylor

[crude glacier]

ppl said that stylor makes bots hump walls, so maybe go w nightstick for now

[subtle scaffold]

Ok 👍

[lapis lantern]

That happened with my Seaspray, is it a bug?

[crude glacier]

:0 didnt kno seaspray was also affected

its a bug, it sounds like it might be fixed at least for bluestreak

[kind arrow]

Interesting

[lapis lantern]

That always messes with my strategies 😭

[storm thistle]

Any thoughts on who could make the best use of Armada Star Saber? I've been trying it on Grimlock to give him some kinda damage reduction when he charges headlong into danger, but I'm open to suggestions. 😄

[broken furnace]

What bot can I use 4* Prima's Star Saber on?

[gilded nacelle]

The holo it spawns bases its stats on the equipped bot's health & dps

With that in mind do you think it would be good to put it on a bot with high health & dps?

[brisk swift]

How do you like the new combat and the previous one? Worth chasing/pulling?

[brisk swift]

Do you find this combat effective? Whom do you pair it with?

[storm thistle]

I've got mine on Ironhide. It's not too shabby.

[patent surge]

Good war team suggestions? I have most 4* bots but these are what I’ve got at the top level wise

[gilded nacelle]

What's your preferred strategy?

[patent surge]

Rither rhinox and drift rush in or tigerhawk and lion Optimus area damage

That’s kinda all I do

[late plume]

Can anyone give me a updated version of this list, I believe its outdated now and also one for only 4* combiner versions

[mint turtle]

Help! My coelagon doesn't do any dmg!! 🤑

[gilded nacelle]

Known issue

[gilded nacelle]

What does "Best setup of bots" mean? That is awfully subjective.

Sure, there are meta bots but I usually don't recommend players chase them because by the time you acquire and level up those bots the meta will have changed.

This is a strategy game. Success will often be based on your strategy.

[keen badger]

I just meant putting the best bots that work best together

[gilded nacelle]

See above

[kind arrow]

“Best,” isn’t accurate towards what you want. What if you explain how you want to play, then we can help from there

[keen badger]

Okay will do thank you but I have to go for now

[outer furnace]

I'm not someone who devotes their life to this game so I don't know general strategy. Does anyone have a good base setup for level 15?

[gilded nacelle]

You do not need to devote your life to this game to understand general strategy

That said, I wouldn't worry too much about base design until you are hq17

[outer furnace]

Alright

[gilded nacelle]

You dont need to post in tfew lounge and forward to questions. We can all see both channels.

Assuming each combiner is at least 4* I'd focus first on volcanicus, sky reign and computron. Victorion should be dead last

[keen badger]

My bad I didn't know that it showed on both but what do you think about the order of Opt Max Defensor Superion

[opal abyss]

Comes down to star levels and whether it’s for offense or defense

[keen badger]

For offense I have 5* Ruin & 5* Omega 4Magnaboss 4Raiden maxed out that I use mostly on offense and defense but I'd really like the max them all out. I just wanted to hopefully do it in a order. Makes sense I really didn't want to waste resources on the worst ones

[gilded nacelle]

Opt max is low priority. I would say superion and defensor come after the top combiners mentioned earlier

[keen badger]

Good deal thanks for the help

[opal abyss]

Hypothetically focus on defensor first over Superion especially considering that when it comes to their con counterparts, we need 3 5* bots to be released for Devastator vs one bot for Abominus (not counting that cutthroat still needs to be added to a legacy batch as well)

[keen badger]

I pulled the last weapon 5 * Prima's Star Saber I was just wondering if there is a bot that is a good fit?

[gilded nacelle]

The holo from the star saber is based on the equipped bot's health and dps.

With that in mind do you think it would work well on a bot with high health and dps?

[solid trellis]

What team comp is good for blurr?

[gilded nacelle]

Vector, liege, tricerashot are good with him

[outer furnace]

I just got enough 5 star shards for a bot, is there a reccomended legacy pack?

[gilded nacelle]

The good one

[kind arrow]

Did you make your pick?

[outer furnace]

I did, not sure what "the good one" meant but I just picked the one that I thought had the most useful bots in it.

[kind arrow]

Which was which batch?

[outer furnace]

6 I think, with hotspot, first aid, and a few others. got hot spot out of it

[kind arrow]

That’s really good!

Hi what does the cybertronian alloy do? I can't find it in the space bridge / inventory and the event email doesn't say what it's for.

[kind arrow]

It’s for the blaster for Megatrounus

[solemn vine]

cybertronian alloy (C.alloy) is used for artifact (weapon of prime), now, it's only used for Requiem blaster, since we don't have another prime weapon, but it will be used for 2nd... N prime weapon in the future

[solemn vine]

Requiem Blaster shard is used ONLY for it, it's specific artifact shard

[solemn vine]

for your next question: It's in newsletter, so you missed info. If you wanna see how many, you must enter prime lab, click the artifact, you can see how many you have on the top of the screen -> The problem devs don't care: From lv 1 to 5, we can only see C.alloy, don't see the artifact shard, At lv6, you see only artifact shard, don't see C.alloy

SG Goldbug:
Since cryo and electric damage became complementary, who pairs well with him? His damage is supposed to spread…Have tried Seaspray with negligible results.
Who pairs well with him? (Have tried Rhinox, Warpath, Star Saber but massive AP cost…)

[oak dagger]

So I’m curious fellas, anybody have any success running a maxed 5* tracks in a defensive outpost?

[oak dagger]

I swear I ran into a Cutty in a base last weekend and I was wondering if they knew something I didn’t…

[opal abyss]

Yes they are probably the same ones who run medics in outposts too 😂

[oak dagger]

😂

Right on. So im not the only one that was thinking WTF!!! Appreciate the feedback Acid…

[warm meteor]

Can’t get on any account. Stuck on 5 % load screen

[gilded nacelle]

Thank you for being the first person to mention this

[hardy vale]

Note; IF u dont have a g1 or dont prefer the core at all and not knowing what core to put on her? Use Quintus+fireglide

[oak dagger]

So, this is probably a dumb question, but I’m wondering if trailbreaker’s ability on defense puts the dmg reflection on the buildings and bots, or just my bots? I’ve been checking base trial replays all morning and genuinely can’t tell.

Appreciate it fellas…

[hardy vale]

i dont know but u would have to pay very closely to the health bars. try using the same strat on ur base but one without trail and one with him in defense.

[charred dock]

Is 3* abominus good?

[hardy vale]

nope

only 4* makes him solid

[hardy vale]

it gives u a warning when opening crystals

the limit is 6,000 cores i beleive.

[keen badger]

Thanks because I didn't want to lose any of them but I only have 55 cores so I good on the limit

[hardy vale]

6000 cores in total of how many cores u have. my fault. Should have explained better

[keen badger]

Oh no that means I have in the past I have most certainly been over the 6000 core & I didn't use anyof the XP cores That's why I ask the question about losing them after a while because it seem like I had a lot more at one time than I most certainly do now So I probably just mess my own self up but it is what it is and I know now not to let that happen again

[keen badger]

But I appreciate you. You probably save me a lot resources

[tame sequoia]

Well I want build my squad generally I can clear platwars and sometime some base in cam wars also but I want to build my squad for cam and further war so pls suggest what should I do
Currently I have OO,leo,blur, Optimus prime, scattershot,minevera,beach and pipes

[crude glacier]

A sniper like smokescreen or bluestreak would help

[kind arrow]

Can you send their setups?

[tame sequoia]

O..k, somkes will better

[kind arrow]

I would agree with the idea of Smokescreen.

[tame sequoia]

AHH ok I will send

Well, from which bot should I replace with him?

[kind arrow]

That’s going to depend on your choice

We don’t know your playstyle

[tame sequoia]

Thinking to change with beach

[kind arrow]

That might work

[tame sequoia]

Hmm.

[kind arrow]

Actually, will work, lol.

[crude glacier]

Scattershot, OO, blur, beach, or op. Op is situational tho, so he could still fit ur team well depending on base

[kind arrow]

Scattershot is an interesting main team pick. What’s your setup for him?

[tame sequoia]

Yeah, but I had spend lot of sparks on him before being nerf lol

[kind arrow]

Yeah, most people did that.

[tame sequoia]

Well, OP Is good as he direct squad in right direction

[crude glacier]

He won't benefit every base tho. U don't have to remove him but u could consider him replacable

[tame sequoia]

And also using his G1 and good combat he will give good damage Also, so confuse between beach or blurr

[tame sequoia]

Yeah

[kind arrow]

I run him on my team even if I don’t need him for every base

[crude glacier]

Hard choice between beach and blur lol

[kind arrow]

Beach…Blurr is super fun.

[tame sequoia]

That's why I am confused lol

[crude glacier]

Beachs ability is really expensive and still bugged so maybe keep blur

[tame sequoia]

O...k

But my heart is not giving permission for it, as I work really hard on him lol

[kind arrow]

Well, you might want to ignore that…

[crude glacier]

December patch will reduce his cost i think, so maybe review him again then

[kind arrow]

It should

[tame sequoia]

Interesting

Ok then beach is final 🙁, now I have to work on smokes

[keen badger]

Are there any good videos on how to get better @ war ?
