this sounds very awesome, i had FRETS one of my transformers as a gadget, for repairs but i learned you should have them in the bigger levels so i am just leveling him up for now, i will reset him again and try this out as soon as he gets some more XP.

The Repair/Avoid combo is proving very effective. Here's why...
-- Focus is not on damage out, so your normal attack and your normal repair do similar damage.
-- Each Avoid or Miss (because of high speed) is damage NOT done to your allies.
-- END reduces damage to you (enabling more Avoids and Misses) and increases Repairs to you (also enabling more Avoids and Misses)

Multiple of these in a single mission could feed each other; a single of these is great support to damage producing allies. The low level Avoid/Repair still gets good XP from the Avoids and as allies go up in level the Repairs increase XP also.

So, just some thoughts; enjoy.

I love being right.

So here's the question now - with the inclusion of good repair Bots will the rest ensure some level of Endurance so that the whole strategy will be more effective? This is not a statement to reset all Bots to be Ratchets but a statement that all Rammers, Strafers, and Avoiders should include Endurance to make Repair more effective.

p.s. I love that a 100k XP Bot pulled that out; it really is good to be proven right.

Sat Jan 10, 2009 6:54 pm

I just tell it how it looks. I am going to change my Ratchet to an alt-mode that actually fits him soon. I just need 100k xp first in order to make him effictive.

Great work Wingspan

All credit goes to you my friend :APPLAUSE:

Yes, now if only *I* could reap the benefits of this... C'est la vie - it's good to see positive Iacon interaction. Gotta do something worthwhile in V1 before V2 replaces everything accomplished to date.

Of course, I do feel dirty now for speaking french; blech

jus wanted to ask wht stat feeds repair?

for example ano firepower feed's strafe

Sun Jan 11, 2009 12:48 pm

int, int feeds rep

Mon Jan 12, 2009 1:55 am

I'll be able to help out soon as my bots are just now approaching rank 2.

I have two bots i'm reseting to repairers once they hit 100k xp.

As for endurance I'm waiting for rank 2 before I put a few points in endurance so they at least can dish out some dmg with the extra lifespan they recieve through repairs.

The Medics Intelligence and the Targets Endurance are the feeders actually.

Formula hijacked from Decepticons wrote:frequency= ([repair] x 3) / 100

Repair% = RANDOM[19~33] x [1+(Int x 0.1)] / [2-(End x 0.1)]

Unless my maths are way off, the effectiveness of either Intelligence or Endurance is equivalent. Hence the call for non-repair Bots to include END. Repairers investing in INT is very costly given how other stats can be effective at lower levels.

So....Electron and Neliz how are your repair bots doing? Ratchet(8th ranked on my team) is keep up with the xp with the rest of my bots and still repairing in missions.

Jittery, jumping from top scoring to bottom ranked shut-outer. he's really losing pace compared to the rest of the team because of his low average scores and loads of CR time.

it's honestly one mission 1400+ and the next a shutout.. and then another shutout
and some more
and then some more...

yup same, so i left it, i'm happy with avoid/strafe/ram

atm

I thought this was supposed to be a team strategy and not an individual achievement? Of course dont put all of your characters in the repair field, that would be silly, but have at least one characters on your 12 man team have the repair. Yes, your right, the repair bot is not rolling in the xp but I see him win more missions than any other bot of mine. If each team has at least one repair bot on their team, it could make a difference. Plus with your high xp you can help out alot. You two are the leaders in the Autobots and the rest will follow but only if you two believe in it.

What alt mode where you two using? and dont tell me the spaceship...of course your not going to see results.

Where were you investing your upgrades?

i'm a leader in the autobot ranks?

quite chuffed thanks

well i think i will go for light rescue or repair tank, look out for wave then

http://www.seibertron.com/heavymetalwar ... r_id=84866

but tbh the only way my repairer is gonna be any gud is if, say ROS or Conjurous, are in the same mission with me, because then my guys can repair big hitters, theres no point my repairer to repair a lower ranked bot, because they tend to be knocked back (thats if u want a win)

but i could be wrong, i will give it a chance, and i do like to help other bots out, suppose they mite get more xp quicker if i repair them even if we don't win, suppose my win/lose ratio is so low i shouldnt care

Thu Feb 12, 2009 7:12 pm

It has to be "Helpful Land Animal" or "Light Rescue Vehicle" so you can repair and aviod to gain xp.

Set up?

News Credits: 8 · Thu Feb 12, 2009 7:23 pm

light rescue

int:4
spd:7
corge;3

avd;5
repair;5

so far only repaired, a level 1 who didnt reli do much, thats why he's more dominent in speed, helps keep xp up

Thu Feb 12, 2009 8:24 pm

I think thats a good setup. You focus is right on.

It's freaking Cosmos for crying out loud, he HAS to!

His current stats:
STR: 0

INT: 0

RNK: 0

CRG: 2

FRP: 5

SKL: 1

ALTERNATE MODE

I did the FRP/SKL there for the strafe, guess that's not beneficial either..
