[keen badger]

Do you have to pay to watch the content ?

[opal abyss]

Nope

[keen badger]

Cool deal thanks 👍

[pine flume]

I have a 5 star bashbreaker. Should i use it on him instead of shieldron?

[oak dagger]

I would build up that bash and put him on a fire dmg & fire ab dmg bot for that complimentary boost bash gives to fire with the cone of acid.

[gilded nacelle]

There is no need to forward questions from tfew lounge. We all can see both channels

I dont think there is a best batch of those mentioned. If you're going for a 5* combiner then maybe consider the batches with combiner bots.

If you dont care about combiners, maybe go for wheeljack if you want a medic. Though I like Minerva better.

Id honestly just save the shards for another batch

[daring minnow]

Morning.
What combination do you prefer on Blot/rook G1 or a prime core?
Thnaks

[hardy vale]

it depends on my team.

[late plume]

Will I get 5k 5* shards if I claimed both ? like one as troop and another 5* dupe

[opal abyss]

lol no

[late plume]

Then why 2, what's the point ?

[opal abyss]

Visual error.

[gilded nacelle]

Why would you even want on BW Megatron? He sucks

[late plume]

I thought they are giving another crystal for 50k shanix which result in dupe giving 5 star shards, I am not even using Optimus Primal

[tame sequoia]

Well, I have general question, which layout is effective, Front or back load?

[pallid cargo]

No he doesn't, There are simply fewer cases where it is useful than with Optimus and Ariel.

[pallid cargo]

While deploying your bots?

And I have a qstn too:
Why doesn't Prima work with Flak anymore ?

[tame sequoia]

?

[pallid cargo]

I'm not sure that I understood the layout said by you correctly 🥲

[kind arrow]

He’s not that good

[pallid cargo]

Yes he is: In my Maximal team, he quite often helps with moving deeper into the base and getting Leo closer to activate the skill

[kind arrow]

You’re likely the only person to believe that

[pallid cargo]

It's kinda sad

[kind arrow]

I tried to use my Optimal Optimus and he never made it through a battle

[pallid cargo]

Maybe bcz u didn't gave him Solus hammer?

Bcz mine runs with him and his G1

[kind arrow]

I will never do that, I got bots that are way more deserving

[pallid cargo]

Even for the 2★ Forge?

[kind arrow]

Nope

[pallid cargo]

Oh, okay

[kind arrow]

I got over 50 5 stars…so he’s not needed

[tame sequoia]

Well, which bots are effective for outpost

[rustic roost]

Hi 👋. Was Stormclash’s special ever fire damage? If or if not, it’s acid now. Too bad no complementary fire aerialbot is out there (Swoop- says fire dmg but the fire doesn’t persist).

[jade swift]

It was. It was changed in the summer balance patch iirc to have consistency between her and her con counterpart (Viper)

[rustic roost]

Does anyone know if Yodo implemented the thing where they were gonna make all medics self-healing? I’m not noticing any little incremental repairs-

[glass warren]

It is in place, yes @rustic roost

They also attack as well

[shy ember]

@rustic roost Sorry for the late post. It's similar to BW Ram Horn and Leo Prime. Ram Horn's ability applied Acid while Leo Prime's ability applied Fire. With the summer balance patch, BW Ram Horn now also applies Fire though the ability text still shows Acid.

[glass warren]

That his SA11

[shy ember]

Notice the color of Ram Horn's ability is green not red like Leo Prime's.

[raw field]

I feel like it's a good team but not sure any suggestions on who to switch out

[kind arrow]

Can you send what other bots you have?

[raw field]

It would be several screenshots

Give me a bit

[raw field]

The rest I'm already using in a different team and most on the last photo

[kind arrow]

That’s cool.

[raw field]

Btw does snapdragon's ability stack from bulkhead's?

[kind arrow]

I don’t know

[raw field]

I've tried it but I honestly can't tell

[glacial siren]

For XP Cores, Mayhem with the 15 Fuel Cell battles.

For Golden Lagoon, it’s not very relevant any more, but it can be used on Kup, Elita, etc for soloing a base.

[royal jungle]

was lagoon nerfed?

[glacial siren]

No, just hasn’t really been a moment where I felt I needed it.

[gilded nacelle]

Not really. They just haven't been used as much since hq18

[keen badger]

I don't know who did content on the worst bots in the game,cause I want to take any combat bots off of the bad bots and the cores and switch them up to good bots So I think I might need a list of some sort 😆

[glass warren]

See DM

[charred dock]

Should I Replace 3* Lvl 50 Deathsaurus with a 4*? If so, Who should I replace him with

[glacial siren]

You generally want to invest in 4 and 5 Star Bots.
Deathsauras overall struggles really badly late game on offense. He’s fine on outpost at SA11 late game, but that’s about all he has going for him.

[charred dock]

Who should I replace him with

[kind arrow]

What bots do you have?

[charred dock]

Let me look

[charred dock]

Brb

[charred dock]

check dms

[meager igloo]

I want to know the worst ones too can u send me that too.

[glass warren]

Worst ones? That, like the best are relative to the player

[meager igloo]

I'm running out of combats to put on 4 star bots so I'm asking which bots are bad so I can take combats away from them

[glass warren]

Again, "Bad Bots" are Relative to the player and the strategies they employ. And Not Every Bot Needs to have a Combat on them. There are only about 38 Combat Bots to 118 Bots (that's approximately 1/3, not including the combat weapons)

You're not going to have a Combat on Every bot, just by sheer availablility alone.

@meager igloo

[meager igloo]

Aren't some bots generally bad for example optimus primal

[glass warren]

Stats wise, But they have a use, and Considering they got a much needed buff back in June, they've come back into use, not promeninantly yet

[meager igloo]

I have one more question thanks for the assistance btw

Should I go for it as a f2p player it's hard getting rank skips

[glass warren]

It is indeed difficult getting Ranks SKips, I'd defer to you whether you feel it necessary or not.

#┊📢・useful_content message

[meager igloo]

Ik we can get them for 5 star shards but rn I'm focusing on getting stronger bots with the 5 star shards

[glass warren]

Again, I'll defere to your own Judement, Ranks do apply to All Star LEvels However.

[charred dock]

Is ratbat a good COMBAT

[opal abyss]

Yes

[glass warren]

Yes and equips to everyone

(at present)

[remote sun]

Hola

How to unlock all the Raiden parts,

?

And how to get the things for prime lab?

Like what to do with the prime lab after unlocking megatronus

[gilded nacelle]

You'll have to wait for Raiden parts to either go on sale for money or wait for them to be available in-game

The prime lab can also be used for Solus and future primes. It's also where you manage leveling them up

[remote sun]

Okk

[glass warren]

@remote sun - DinoKing/Raiden parts are at present Event or Webstore exclusives.

To get the prime lab, you need to complete the Age of the Primes campaign::

@glass warren can i have your info sheet on inferno and tm2 plz?

[glass warren]

Predacon Inferno?

[hardy vale]

yes

[charred dock]

What Transfomer fits well with Blowpipe

[glacial siren]

None really, the worst gun COMBAT, and can be harmful on some bots.
Better value with some 3 Star COMBATs really.

[formal zenith]

Is it better to use the 5-star ability of The Ark or keep using his 4-star ability?

[glass warren]

Choose the one that's right for you and your setup

[rustic roost]

Can someone help me with a question on entering prime league: my alliance fought all the way through cyber league and we have 34 members. Maybe only 20 participated. Is the low number of participants a barrier to entering, or did we just toggle the switch wrong when starting our next war?

[opal abyss]

You need to “promote” to prime league, let it cycle and then press the war button again. It’s not automatic like the other war leagues

[subtle scaffold]

Can anyone provide me smokescreen's build for cyber and prime wars??

[glacial siren]

Prima or Nexus for Cores, Nightsticm, Topshot, or Cosmic Rust Blaster for COMBATs.

[royal jungle]

depends on the rest of ur team, smokey doesnt really need a specific core but the ones calypso suggested r pretty good

[subtle scaffold]

And what about His G1 with stylor

[glacial siren]

G1 is decent, Prima or Nexus is better.
Stylor is fine if the team already has Nightstick, Topshot, and possibly a Cosmic Rust Blaster.

[subtle scaffold]

Okk 👍

[formal zenith]

Does the tech tree attack perks still apply even if the titan is unavailable?

[drowsy galleon]

Yes

[gilded nacelle]

What's your defense strategy?

"Best" is subjective and depends on a number of factors that are only known to you.

[keen badger]

I'm going to change my base layout so what I am hoping to do is slow down the bots and hopefully make them time out or stop them before they beat the base

[kind arrow]

Send what bots you have

It’s going to help out a lot

[gilded nacelle]

Lightspeed is one good bot for slowing attackers down. He has high health and his gmetal core lets him revive twice

[kind arrow]

@keen badger , send what bots you have here

[gilded nacelle]

Beachcomber and twintwist are good

[drowsy galleon]

OO,beachcomber,twintwist,overload, cosmos, red alert,rhinox,laser optimus are good choices

[keen badger]

Thanks to the people for helping me out with outpost bots, there are a lot of different bots than I thought. 🧐

[keen badger]

Is there a better core then the one I have on him now?

[opal abyss]

Amalgamous

[kind arrow]

Change the combat too

[keen badger]

What combat do you think would be better

[drowsy galleon]

This

[kind arrow]

I run Sidetrack

[keen badger]

I currently running Amalgamous on Sentius Magnus

[kind arrow]

Switch it

[keen badger]

I will do the switch,only one other question what to do Sentius Magnus power core I have combat of the sword of balance

[drowsy galleon]

Onyx

It'll increase dmg reduction with sword of balance

[keen badger]

Thanks homies I switched them around so hopefully that'll work better for me

[formal zenith]

Which bot should I give the major rank?

[royal jungle]

ratchet

[formal zenith]

Ok

[opal abyss]

lol I was going to add to it, looked at the bots and went “Yep, @royal jungle is right. Nothing to add”

[royal jungle]

haha had to double check myself

[gilded nacelle]

I'd say Sky Reign and Magnaboss are very good 4* combiners

But like I always say, "best" is subjective. What is best for me may not be best for you or anyone else. Likewise, what's best for you may not be best for someone else

[keen badger]

On Bot's level what makes a bot have a higher level vs other bots that have a higher power or whatever? I just don't know what makes a bot have a higher level 😯

[glass warren]

Their star level, perks, equipment (cores & combats) their actually level

[keen badger]

Thanks 👍

[glass warren]

If you click on the bots stats' you'll see the breakdown

[formal zenith]

Hey CF can I see your build of acidstorm? I'm thinking of getting a 5-star slingshot if I can

[drowsy galleon]

This is mine

[formal zenith]

Thanks

[glass warren]

I just got my 5-Star'@formal zenith

[formal zenith]

Oh

[glass warren]

Mt 4 star just has Enhanced Ordinance on it

[formal zenith]

Also which bots are best with nexus prime core?

[glass warren]

@formal zenith also available in #┊📢・useful_content message

[drowsy galleon]

Smoke screen

[keen badger]

Do we know when the 2.0 starts?

[kind arrow]

No

[keen badger]

What bot class would Sondor work good on ?

[glass warren]

Sundor & Ratbat are the rare companions that equip to All Bots/Classes

@keen badger

[keen badger]

He equips to so many Bots and it's hard to figure out which one is a good fit & thank you for the graphic

I think I'll just try to put him on as many different Bots and figure it out that way

[glass warren]

@keen badger - Again, as I have stated before:
"Best Fit" depends on what aspects of a Bot you want to enhance. Unless a COMBAT specifically names a bot in its name, there is no best fit.

This makes it interesting for equipment and not builds, and can change the strategy employed within your Squad

[drowsy galleon]

Alt mode bots like Twin twist,cosmos,slug...

[keen badger]

I put the five-star version of Sondor 5* Metalhawk so I will see how it goes?

[keen badger]

In the very beginning of the game, my son got on my phone and was playing, and somehow changed my in-game name, so I was able to get my name that the game issued to me back, but I would like to pick my own name. Can I change my in-game name? I remember you were only allowed to do it once, a long time ago. I didn't know if there was another way change my name?

[opal abyss]

You can submit a ticket for a name change. It does cost 1K Cybercoins

[keen badger]

Cool thanks 👍

[formal zenith]

Should I give the Amalgamous core to sixgun, then give sentius the nexus core? (Once I get hot rod's G1 core)
Or do I keep it as is?

[glass warren]

Keep it as is.

[glass warren]

If you're looking for a list of better Prime Core Equipments, May I recommend #┊📢・useful_content message

[formal zenith]

Is afterbreaker better with vector or onyx?

[drowsy galleon]

Vector

[glass warren]

@formal zenith - Vector.

I see you didn't use the channel link above

[formal zenith]

Oh, i didn't know it was arranged by which bot is best

If that's what it's implying

Like very best at first

[glass warren]

That's Why I recommended your Look at the Sheets in the #┊📢・useful_content message Channel

[modest gull]

Is

Scanner
Research/Prime
Shuttle
Alloy Storage
Energon storage
[New stuff]
Outposts
Missile
Beam
Shock
Mortar
Turrets
Cannon
Mines
Energon harvest
Alloy harvest

The best upgrade order? I'm hq13 about to hit 14

[glass warren]

• Storages (Energon, Alloy Ore-13)
• Harvesters (Energon, Alloy)
• Research Lab
• Prime Lab
• Defenses 1: Missile Launchers, Beam Lasers, Laser Turrests)
• DEfenses 2: Auto Cannons, Outputs, Stasis Mines
• Outposts
  Everything else.

@modest gull : The reason why I recommended this order:

• You're gonna need resources through events and PVP, and YOu're gonna need to Store them
• Increase your REsearch Lab (if available to do so)
• Prime Lab is optional, but It won't stiffle you
• Defenses 1: Upgrade your Long-Range Defenses first, including any new long range defenses you'll get
• DEfenses 2: Upgrade your Medium/Sort Range Defenses, including anything new you may get
• Outposts Last, you want theose new Upgraded Defenses able to hold off Opponents as your outposts upgrade and increase the DPS of the Bots you Put in them.
• Everything else is just utliity

[modest gull]

Yeah that makes sense, thank you

[drowsy galleon]

You just need to rush hq to 17

Focus on research

Fastest way to increase levels

[modest gull]

I was about to ask if I should hq Rush. I was about to research my top bot but I can't until hq15 and I'm hq13 (everything otw to being maxed besides harvesters atp)

[glass warren]

I wouldn't @heatwave, but that's me.

https://youtu.be/E_Z0-aYYkzw

@modest gull

[modest gull]

Should I just be okay with my top bots being maxed in order to focus on having multiple squads that can clear my top zone? Because that was my initial thought

I don't have time to watch the video atm but I'll respond when I've seen it

I find most of your videos very helpful

[glass warren]

Stick with your inital thought

[modest gull]

Cool, thank you

[zinc pasture]

CF is correct, personally I went with maxing my WarSquad first, OutPosts bots next, then those on my 2nd thru 5th squads, which they were already pretty up there as it was

[jolly island]

Sending this to get tips on base defense, i don’t really need much but i would be very thankful if someone told me where and which building prime core i should equip

[glass warren]

@jolly island

[graceful marsh]

Is use of combiners recommended in alliance raids Or should I just use my bots and prime?

[kind arrow]

Bots and primes to be on the safe side

[glass warren]

It depends on the raid level, and which combiners you're meaning. You'd want to use High DPS combiners against the raid base's shield gens if possible

[graceful marsh]

I have magnaboss and volcanicus about lvl 10-11 both, doing hard raids

[drowsy galleon]

Combiners in raids are just time waste lol

[graceful marsh]

What is the golden lagoon power core? (That one in the shanix shop) How is it used? Is it good?

[zinc pasture]

it reflects damage, but the second you equip it, it starts a 24hr timer, at the end, it disappears...

not worth it

[glass warren]

It's alright, Never used it in the many many years it's been available (On live server) did use it a test during one of my streams a while ago.

[charred dock]

Is 5* Starscream any good or did I waste 5k shards

[gilded nacelle]

Not terrible. Struggles against hq18 but can be useful against lower bases

[glass warren]

He is fantastic!

Comparable to Jetfire, Blast off/Firefly

[charred dock]

Can you please give me the best set up for him?

[glass warren]

@charred dock - that is difficult ask, My setup may not be compatible with your playstyle

[charred dock]

Okay

[glass warren]

I can offer a few builds though

@charred dock

[charred dock]

Im guessing the raid build is for the resources pvp?

[glass warren]

No for Alliance Raids

[glass warren]

For that you'd want the offensive build

I have a small series of videos on squad building

[charred dock]

@glass warren is this a good build? (I dont have 5* cratermaker)

[gilded nacelle]

Eventually you'll want his crown core but that is a good build for now

[charred dock]

Okay

[glass warren]

It'll do

[charred dock]

I got his Gmetal Crown core

[hexed sail]

Returning player here, who's the best prime overall?

[drowsy galleon]

Megatronus if you want a tank
Prima if you want more dmg
Solus if you want healing

[patent bay]

how come when I use a prime XP it always kicks me out

[glass warren]

There really isn't one.
The better question is what effect do you want?

• Megatronus is more of a Tank/Mellee
• Solus can provide Healing
• Prima increases attack speed and Damage

Datasheets are available here:
#┊📢・useful_content message

[graceful marsh]

How do game decide in which PVP zone my base will come in?

[glass warren]

It is based off a Score of Cumaltive Health points from your Base Buildings

The Zones are also the Minimum Power that a base can have in that zone.

[graceful marsh]

Do base design have any effect?

[glass warren]

The Design itself, No.

[charred dock]

Who is peacemakers decepticon counterpart

[glass warren]

TipTop

[charred dock]

Is 5* ravage any good and if it is who is it good with?

[glass warren]

Yes it is, and they are highl;y compatible with a number of bots

[charred dock]

Who is the best bot for ravage

[glass warren]

There isn't really a best for them.
Best would depend, as I have repeatedly stated, on squad composition, strategies, and what aspects of the bot you're looking to enhance with said combat

@charred dock

[glacial siren]

No one.

[gilded nacelle]

Ravage is a companion. Give it to any bot you want.

Though I'd suggest giving him to a bot that isn't a better fit for gun/melee weapon combats

[patent bay]

can somebody help me get my team stronger like who's good what to add on them etc? I'll send a ss of my bots

[kind arrow]

You want to send them to me over DM’s?

[patent bay]

yes that works

[kind arrow]

Just send a friend request over

[glass warren]

@patent bay I"be got a series of videos that could be a starting point for you....

[charred dock]

What does the lvl 2 space bridge and power core lab do/change

[drowsy galleon]

Just for the theme

[formal zenith]

Got my first prime defense cores which buildings do I equip them to?

[glass warren]

@formal zenith Prime cores references are available in
#┊📢・useful_content message

[slender jewel]

Who can I equip red heat to ? Will it work with Goldfire/Ramjet

[glass warren]

@slender jewel

[gilded nacelle]

Red heat can be equipped to any bot you want

[graceful marsh]

Do we start getting prime defence cores only after getting all the prime bot cores?

[formal zenith]

No, it seems you can only get them once you reach HQ 17

It showed up once I reached that level

But they're more expensive costing 7,500 prime shards

[graceful marsh]

Ok, thanks. It is not showing to me as I am hq14

[formal zenith]

Since you're still far from getting them, just get prime bot cores for now

[glass warren]

Yeah you won't see them at your HQ Level

[keen badger]

I have 11 missing bots for Combiners , StreetWise for "Defensor", Pyra Magna, Stormclash,Dust-up,Jumpstrem, for "Victorion", Alpha Bravo, Skydive, for "Superior" Sunstreaker, Mirage, for "Optimus Maximus" Bw Prowl, BW Silverbolt, for "Magnaboss" So I was just wondering if any of these bots are even available at all ? Or have I just been unlucky?

[gilded nacelle]

All of those bots are available

[drowsy galleon]

But not as 5*

[gilded nacelle]

They didn't specify 5*

[keen badger]

That's my bad but I was talking about 5 star bots, I have all of those bots in other star levels

Hopefully they will start putting some of those missing 5 star bots in rotation. That way people can get more five-star combiners or just have them in five stars

[gilded nacelle]

5* Sunstreaker is available

[glass warren]

That is kinda what my bundle had, was a bunch of Biner components

[formal zenith]

Is powerglide worth getting at 5-star?

[glacial siren]

Yes.

[glass warren]

@formal zenith - Yes

[jade swift]

Yup!

[upbeat marsh]

Hey all. Looking to get back into the game after a year or so. Who’s the current meta bots atm?

Also are 5* titans worth the 25k shards or are 4*s still useable in prime league?

[opal abyss]

4* titans are still viable in PL and it kind of comes down to who you have as your 5*s. But look in #┊📢・useful_content and #┊💬・prime_league_chat to get some ideas @upbeat marsh

[upbeat marsh]

Thanks man. Have most bots and last I played the meta was to just burn everything with Leo and OO.

I won’t bother with the titans just yet then and keep saving my shards.

[glass warren]

Yeah that matter has come and gone

[upbeat marsh]

Yeah figured it had moved on. Just looking for best latest strategies to try get back into PL.

[solemn vine]

if you have money, then META bundles, buy it, sometimes, it has 100$ bundle (1 time only, it's very valuable)

[vital bison]

What do you do with 5 star shards once you have all bots and titans?
