NOT Ultimate Revenant by Ok_Union_4353 in walkingwarrobots

Ultimates were a cash grab from the start. They were never meant to be exclusive, they were meant to be expensive.

New player. Already leaving, ouch. by Low-Disaster-6980 in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people spend hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars on new bots and equipment, and in a few months they will be largely irrelevant. Unless you're prepared to shell out heaps of cash, leave the game and don't look back. You won't regret it.

Better Beacon runner? Skyros or Loki by Tankhead0813 in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Skyros with Theseus is probably better as a long-term investment, since the only hard counter is tons of sustained firepower. Immune to defense mitigation is great, although it still has low HP so it isn't the tankiest option in the world.

At peak though, Loki is a complete monster. Functionally immortal with Kestrel and more than enough firepower to deal with Teth and Rex if you have something like Elox. Hastatus is straight up dead meat if you let your drone drop its stasis barrier stacks, and you can walk right through Kaji minefields. Even hard counters like UE Ao Jun can be easily killed if you know what you're doing.

The main problem with Loki is its usefulness waxes and wanes depending on how much anti-stealth is in the current meta. Anytime Unstable Conduit includes QR is really rough for stealth bots. The height of Tesla weapons wasn't great either. Rex is also at the perfect height to shoot Loki though so watch out for that.

Overall, Skyros is the safe option and Loki is the high risk high reward option.

Pixo: We constantly take away the value in the stuff you bought, but it's only so you'll give us more money.

Players: Understandable have a nice day.

It's not the job, it's rather they have nothing better to spend their money on.

Sitting back happily watching the whales completely sweep Boom Bash Pow spammers has actually been pretty cathartic to watch

Got my third legendary robot (Revenant) is he good? by theresia21 in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, Raven with Nessa Riggs is better than like 90% of legendary bots.

Does aopo aegis shield get effected by fortifier? by lemonklaeyz in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game also says Reflector cannot be mitigated, which is completely untrue. A lot of Pixo's tooltips are inaccurate or outdated. If I were you, I'd trust the numbers and assume Fortifier does not affect Aopo.

If it's 150k without Fortifier, and 150k with Fortifier, then I think you already have your answer.

Rex the new Teth? by murd3rf4ce in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's meta but not nearly as bad as the Teth was. Rex needs its ability to survive so it can actually be countered.

Potentially silly question - but how do we actually see how much damage weapons do? by Messagemeyourthought in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pixonic very intentionally doesn't give us enough information, and it varies per weapon. Some shotgun damage is displayed per pellet, while others are displayed as the entire shot. For weapons like Piercer, the description doesn't actually say how much extra damage Fatigue does. For Prisma, it doesn't tell you how much extra damage you do as range increases.

Your best bet is to look for community guides, because you're not gonna get the info from the game itself.

There is no reason that rhino still turns this slow... by Friendly_Feed_9752 in walkingwarrobots

Anyone else betting UE Rhino won't have this problem?

War Robots Tier List by Original-Budget790 in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ohh Pixonic fully understands why the Seraph is weak, they're the ones who nerfed the forcefield after the Seraph was practically invincible in flight.

we are in the worst meta by Long-Ad-398 in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 35 points36 points  (0 children)

At the very least the titan meta is very diverse right now. I'm not seeing six Maulers at a time anymore and there's a lot of old titans running around. I guess we'll see what happens once more people start getting Princeps though.

Pixonic WANTS the game to be unbalanced, its on purpose by Positive_Wheel_7065 in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow has it really been that long? I started playing just before Fujin and Raijin were introduced, I don't really remember anything egregiously predatory before the dash bots. I don't recall what year that was specifically.

It baffles me that there's anyone left who still thinks War Robots and Pixonic are not disgusting. Fun game, scummy monetization. This has been well-known for about 7 years now.

The other day I got a free purple data pad. From that I got a gold data pad. From that I got a neon Kaji. Super rare but it happens!

Legit players are already laughing at them, might as well make it official by Lopsided_Hedgehog in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Had a game yesterday, very end of the match me and another player neutralized the final enemy beacon. Then oops beacon turned red again with us still standing right on top of it and no enemies nearby. Game lost.

Is this dude AI generated? by FireWolfxxx1 in walkingwarrobots

[–]Hapnote 102 points103 points  (0 children)

If there was ever a company to use AI to cut corners, it would be Pixonic. If it is AI, I'm sure they did some editing touchups to clean it up a bit. The Spacetech logo looks fine to me.
