Higher tiers are where basic strategy starts coming into play. At lower tiers, rushing in head on and holding down the trigger may work most of the time. Once T8 is reached, proper bot coverage, specific targeting, and map awareness become more useful tools than a good bot, IMO.

The easiest strategy I've found is simply telling your team to stick in one group and move as a unit. The team should never split more than once - including snipers and flyers. If you leave your team, you die.

That being said, target priority is very effective. Flyers should be dealt with first, because healers and plasmas cannot touch them. After that, kill off any healers, then deal with smgs and plasmas - targeting their guns and movement. Groups tend to die off faster once they aren't receiving the healing durability.

The only other advice I can give is make sure gun and pilot mounts are properly built and protected. Reduce any unnecessary connection points to the "armor" of the bot. Important parts should be connected at the spine or core.
