Could I please get some advice on adjusting my teams following the balance patch and the next two or three 5*'s that would be recommended given the changes? Here's my current teams:
Primary War/Event Team: Pipes, Optimus Prime, Tracks, Elita-1, Air Raid, Bluestreak, Roadbuster, Minerva - All except Tracks are 5*
Second War/Event Team: Pipes, Leo Prime, Beachcomber, Ariel, Bluestreak, Smokescreen, Red Alert, Minerva - All are 4*
Third War/Event Team: Slug, Dinobot, Blaster, Optimal Optimus, SG Jetfire, Skids, Sentius Magnus, Ratchet - Blaster, Optimal & Sentius are 5*
Raid Team: Pipes, Drift, Optimus Prime, Tracks, Blades, Red Alert, Roadbuster, Minerva - Pipes, Optimus, Roadbuster & Minerva are 5*

  • The other 5*'s I have are: Topspin, Windblade, Hoist, Optimus Primal, Skyburst, Rotorstorm
  • I have all 4*'s except Arcee, Overload, Topspin, Armada Scavenger, Sandstorm, Punch & Gears

@karmic rock before I proceed, I wanna go with a similar approach to how I did it:

What kinds of war(s) do you like doing? And which zones (15-17) were you most proficient in before this patch?

#

and, most importantly, what's your playstyle?

My alliance tends to fluctuate between Silver/Gold leagues.

In regard to the zones I was most proficient in before the patch, I was able to comfortably clear z15, and occasionally z16. Since the patch, I haven't been able to clear z16 and I've noticed a considerable difficulty spike in z15.

As for my playstyle, it depends on the team I'm using. With my primary team, I tend to like sending in Elita-1 to pop as many outposts as possible and then position her so I can blast those bots and the most dangerous defences with Air Raid. While for my third team I like to start off with mass AoE damage from Optimal/Skids while Dinobot and Blaster start working on any outlying buildings, and Slug and SG drawing aggro with their abilities. I hope this is what you were referring to? Sorry if I didn't explain very well.

Alright so, for Team one: Your Ace is Elita one to get the ops attention, only for them to be obliterated by air raid. Right?

Yep

Hmmmm

#

So you want to keep Elita and Air raid on team 1?

Yep

Hmmm

Obviously you want to have a good bot that'll destroy the building air raid Riggs with his bomb quickly

#

Do you have a long ranged Jet/gunner that can do very high damage within the 20 second time frame?
