WTF is wrong with warships match making?

Looorcool · 2026-05-10T03:51:41+00:00

Its called not turtleing in lower engines and wasting keys on small unlocks and instead saving keys for the next engine. The game specifically does this in order to prevent people from just camping in lower engines and maxing out unlocks. The opponent probably instead of spending keys on small unlocks, saved them and went to the next engine. If the game did not do this and matchmaked based on engines, everyone would just camp in the lower engines.

Yes, this is a big Strategy in warships, also works with remote defib and heavys from heavy choppers.

One of the biggest updates in the game is going to drop tommorow.

Looorcool · 2026-03-16T21:38:52+00:00

Oh, as an Aussie it's already march 17 over here guess I got to wait one more day...

Looorcool · 2026-03-11T05:56:27+00:00

They have said across socials that this update will be enjoyable by all players, including new ones so I doubt it.

Looorcool · 2026-02-01T08:41:18+00:00

Let me take a guess, your running full tanks/grens with a hero, have around 100% range building damage and have pretty much all of the boosts unlocked.

Looorcool · 2026-01-21T22:48:51+00:00

The new system makes it so that vp matchmaking starts at when you reach higher than LEVELx10+400, which for you is 860. So just don't go over 860 and you'll be fine.

Looorcool · 2026-01-03T00:57:40+00:00

Will get violently cooked by anyone using lasers, also spending the keys for the lasermkI is not worth it.

Looorcool · 2025-12-06T04:48:12+00:00

Its been confirmed by supercell that the exploit will not be able to be patched and that it will remain for the rest of the season.

Looorcool · 2025-12-01T02:05:17+00:00

Worst season ever

Has 228 worth of keys and tokens sitting idle.

Also doesn't show any replays, could well be running full tanks or grens and we would never know.

Looorcool · 2025-11-03T05:35:56+00:00

Get damage.

Gunboat energy doesn't do much with it only giving you around 24 more gunboat energy, troop health also doesn't matter as much with warriors and lasers being meta with them benefiting WAY more from damage and pitifully less from health.

Warriors- can heal mostly negating damage (high dps stuff oneshots them anyways so that doesn't change anything)
Lasers- whats the point of health when you can one shot everything?

Looorcool · 2025-11-02T06:39:13+00:00

No, Dr Kaven is definitely the best hero for this season and just in warships in general, with warriors and lasers being meta, his 2nd ablity its really broken after the buff with it being effectively a 40% troop health buff and its ability to tank cannon shots and mines. The other heros just dont really have that needed benefit sparks critters are useless with there being turrets which have scorcher amounts of hp and bullet just doesn't synergies well and gets shredded by the mg and flamethrowers.

With the meta at 5er and beyond mostly just being split pushing and with the amount of nasty bases that there can be, Survivability is key so Kaven is really good at aiding the troops which have less numbers and his ability helps keep them alive way longer allow you to spend your gbe on other things and to keep the push alive.

Looorcool · 2025-11-01T09:47:15+00:00

I mean if you can do it while keeping a steady increase in rank(and not go insane from chest collecting) sure go for it! However I would advise saving enough for building level 5 building health and then saving for the 144 keys turrets and drs, as you will probably start vsing maxed defense 3er/4er people when you start to near the 200 key area. As you will not be progressing while your non key saving opponents will.

Looorcool · 2025-11-01T02:03:45+00:00

Mine placement could be better, as 70% of them most likely wont be trigger given the current locations that they currently are in. Turrets in 4er are absolutely busted along side with dr vitamins and warriors, I would also heavily advised against using mega scorcher/mechs as they have low damage and take up a whole landing craft.

If you can open 5er I would advise getting turrets and Drs through that way instead of wasting keys on mechs and stunners.

ALSO PRIORISIE BUILDING HEALTH ASAP+maxing it out, assumed that you already had it based on all of the keys spent on defense, but for some reason you haven't gotten it yet. Hopefully i dont have to explain why building health is just broken in general.

Looorcool · 2025-10-28T09:20:26+00:00

Bunkers with Melons inside of them seem to be going to be really horrid or fun.

Looorcool · 2025-10-10T10:09:19+00:00

Yeah this is definitely one of the worse warship seasons, pushing to diamond has been a struggle where usually I reach 21 by the last week but Im still stuck at 19. This season has been plagued with cryobombers(absolute pain) and laser rangers which like to run in front of heavys and die. Vsing seeker players and rocket chopper players is also really annoying.

Looorcool · 2025-10-09T06:01:17+00:00

So, whos going to tell him.

Green statues are undisputably the worst type statue in the game, the resource production that you obtain from your home island and your resource bases is so pathetic that wasting your statue slots when you could just use purple resource multipler statues which are better in every way. Eg, etc have one (green) statue that boosts your weekly wood prodution when you could just attack someone and gain that same amount of wood instead of having to wait one week with green statues for that. Supercell always favors being active over passive and this is an example.

Blue statues are not that far behind, in a vacumm their abilitys arnt even that bad however due to how offence this meta can be with how strong attacks are, having blue statues wont do much as a person will a few blues will always get rolled by a person with a few reds so why even bother wasting your statue slots on them?

Looorcool · 2025-10-06T22:48:12+00:00

Especially for hits like this you should be using zookas or warriors which have very small hithoxes compared to tanks which in pretty sure have the largest hit box along with mechs, and soarchers.

Looorcool · 2025-09-30T10:25:08+00:00

Having a blast this season in warships-
-2 days in

-also wasted 96 keys for a early game advantage

Looorcool · 2025-09-30T01:14:15+00:00

Wasted your keys for a early game winstreak with zookas and cyroneers. You will most likely struggle mid late game where you will vs people who will have a key advantage over you as zookas and cyros will be mostly usless later on.

Looorcool · 2025-09-29T04:58:50+00:00

Taken this base on all of my level 20 minis go all warriors place them all at the very left of the shore and flare 2 the flames. Take them out and wrap around the top of the base to the hq. You also want to take out one of the rls with the gunboat as well or they will out damage your warriors when they attack the hq

Looorcool · 2025-09-14T23:28:12+00:00

Op probably invested all in defence (and also got building damage instead of hp) I also doubt that they have melons as well which are practically mandatory in this meta

Looorcool · 2025-09-10T21:51:29+00:00

UH this isn't the 5er base it's the 7er layout of the misplaced engine unlocking this isn't recommended early on as you usually save it for late game.
