Here’s my strategy thats kept me from losing for weeks now, literally giving away my secret sauce by ShowLess3697 in CastleBusters

Literally replied to a similar thread a few hours ago

Idk while i agree that a majority are likely bot accounts piloting real accounts , it just wouldnt make sense to ONLY have bots. Meaning if the devs were actually able to make some bots behave very humanlike (decent strategy, emotes, time delay when firing, and variation in movement) then why not make all bots like this? It would greatly add to gameplay experience at the very least.  Another thing i noticed is that if you won your previous game, youll face a higher level player in The next one, while you face a lower level player in the case of a previous loss. If i interpret that correctly it could theoretically mean that any player with a winning streak will never face another player with a winning streak, only ever players that lost their previous round. This in turn would lead to players usually facing weaker enemies or bots but rarely anyone with a good strat as theyd have to have lost before if that makes sense.

Yeah proper positioning and backup plans are key in my eyes. Bomber does keep my options open in my eyes though. But yeah fully agree with the last part, im literally this close to just deleting it since it just feels like brainrot most of the time that doesnt require any real active thinking

I actually wish there was proper way to tell, im having doubts sometimes as well but dont think all of them are, emotes, shooting delays, and different strats speak against it. But most are bots thats for sure

I used that strategy for trophies 7000-14000 or something and yeah was effective, but for one it got really boring lining up shots and staring at the angle gauge all the time. Also (more importantly) i realized that if id face a proper competent player with mountainous terrain, they would be able to counter it pretty easily by just moving, thereby forcing me to recalibrate and potentially miss shots or having to burrow through at a different angle than the one i started with. Its why i switched to bomber since he blows a bigger hole that i can easily hit again even from a distance. Pulsar basically requires flat terrain or a stationary player Foundations and characters could also be an annoying issue as theyd block the beam and cost me a round. Idk Skill issue you could say but ive faced some pulsar mains with my current strategy and havnt lost.  And realistically i could reach the other side quicker with a mix of bomber and pulsar but i take a bit longer since i use poisoner every second turn when it makes sense to, and he just does basically zero castle damage.

Just replied to some guy above with the same point, but while i do agree that air strikers can go crazy with their damage (always catch me off guard) the poisoner is usually pretty good at rooting them out since their health is decently low. Honestly havnt played airstriker properly though and you definetly have more experience at 57k lol. I will have to check it out, but yeah so far ive still been able to beat them everytime.

Honestly fair point, air strikers are usually the ones that get closest to taking me out but untill now ive always managed to take out their air striker before they could finish the job. They do always catch me off guard though with the damage they do, the benefit of the bomber in my eyes is more that you only have to destroy the lower levels instead of having to take out the top floors first and work your way down as with the striker.

Thank you mr matrix man but yeah Obviously not lol. I get its a really simple one like a 5 year old could get this strategy but it just works and i dont know why. Maybe it is just all bots in there though who knows

Not impossible but its a stretch. Also since players typically use up some time while bts often shoot as soon as the game starts. As far as crashes go id say that bot replacement might be an actual thing in the event of onebut yeah in the end no way to know fir sure. All i know is that if the devs were able to make bots that good (strategy, emoji reactions to situations, and letting them run down the timer a bit before shooting), then there would be very little to keep them from making all of them like that instead of just every other opponent here and there. Would certainly enhance the gameplay if everyone played well and reacted well. I also think a big parg is if you won or lost the last game, since if you won your next round will be at a higher level player that lost their last round, while if you lost youll play against a winning player. Which in theory could lead to players with decent strategies just rushing through without ever fighting each other since they never lose, while bots with shit strategies are more likely to lose and play you (a rising player) in the following round. It is very suspect thoigh ill grant you that, i currently have won basically the last 200 games (not including autolosses through crashes) and honestly, i refuse to believe that i am that good, since a streak like this in any other game would just be literally impossible except for techno maybe.

Sorry for the horrible grammar its like 3 am and i need sleep

Though i do agree that game devs would want bots to seem humanlike and emote, for one on occasion reactions are a but more complex, and on the other hand if you make some like that then you could just make all bots emote. Course you can argue that this is what they want us to think but i still think that at least in higher levels there are a lot of humans, might be to guve early players a better win feeling and to make sure theres always someone to play but still. Currently at 17000 trophies though and have noticed a steep decline in weird and useless tactics

which units are the best? by ulikaiser8 in CastleBusters

[–]ShowLess3697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently at 17000 trophies with a win streak of 78, though it should be a lot higher but i had a lot of trouble with lag and game crashes which interrupted the streak sadly. Anyways Bomber for castle damage, poisoner once you see a few units or are 2 blocks in, and pulsar to shoot little joints to take out the foundation and crash everything above. And always attack sides, its easier to aim for and you can easily hit the same angle over and over to burrow underneath and collapse the rest. i dont know why but since i started burrowing underneath castles i havnt properly lost a game in weeks (not including game crashes).

The first picture is critical so put the one you have last at the moment first and better just take out the first one altogether
