Upgrading your bots abilities is VITAL. The other trick is working out who complements who and which ones are best in certain situations, for example, reflective ability. Use that to attack shock towers, also good when Swoop decides to attack because the damage is reflected back at him.

Slipstreams ability works well with long range flyers or Brawl. Things go boom!

Razorclaw and Bludgeon are especially good at smashing through walls. Which is why walls should be upgraded.

Walls are there to slow attackers down. Those few seconds they're stalled can mean your other defenses doing enough damage to take them out entirely. Same goes for mines, keep those upgraded as well.

Basically, keep everything upgraded. A good trick I do, I have five builder bots. Given I'm now at the point where upgrades take 5 days (and come Monday they'll take 7), I do one upgrade a day so I farm and spend regularly. But I only upgrade 4 things, I leave that fifth builder bot for walls.

builderbots are only purchasable right?

News Credits: 3 · by **ctrlFrequency** » Tue Oct 11, 2016 3:35 pm

Yes, but if you don't spend any Cybercoin, you can save up enough without spending real money

You can't upgrade them if that's what you mean.

You can only get them with Cybercoins, yes. The only ways to get more Cybercoins are through achievements, getting a Rank-up or through money.

So ability aside, increasing the ability's level doesn't actually make the con better?

That depends on how you look at it.

No it doesn't help the bot's base stats, but it does help them do more damage (when you use the ability)

They'll still do the same damage in normal melee no matter what level the ability is at. But when you use the ability, it will do more damage the higher level it is.

Ability damage goes up or time it is active goes up. Their overall attack power/scores rating goes up too. It seels like the higher the level of ability, the more power they gain on leveling too.

Each build you can only get through purchase, 2000 coin each time (the price doesn't raise, fortunately).

Or buy a build bot bundle.

They are never given as rewards or pop out of the space bridge. I suppose that'a because they have no in game value, like bits do (boys convert to spark, energon, and shardshe if you already have that one)

I am confused by Line. I downloaded it, and got freaked out by it needing my phone number. Line lite was what I chose...

Line Lite is fine, just can't make calls with it (like that's necessary, we don't call each other)

You have to create a Line ID in addition to your userID (I don't get why either). Then you can search for users/chats/what have you by LineID. Mine is ctrlfrequency, XxM3G4TR0NUSxX (all the vowels except U are numbers), Tyrannacon, bdizz, King Kuuga, or AZ.

Or post your ID and we can find you

We can add you to the chats once you're found.

New Characters
These two are primed for aquatic combat. Seaspray and Octopunch are making their way through the Space Bridge this weekend!

Seaspray
In many ways, Seaspray found his spiritual home on planet Earth, or rather, its oceans.

With no comparable medium on Cybertron, he broke new ground - relishing the newfound freedom of movement and sheer expanse of his territory.

Though well equipped for naval combat, Seaspray's hovercraft mode is vulnerable to enemy fire, and one direct hit would send him to the bottom of the ocean - forever.

Whirlwind
Summon a devastating tornado that moves to target location dealing damage every second. Stuns and interrupts defenses.

Octopunch
Built for sub-aquatic combat, Octopunch has a passive-aggressive approach to battle.

In other words, he's prone to play a waiting game, drifting serenely and non threateningly before striking with the speed of a manta ray, punching holes in the hull of any passing vessel.

Anything he can sink is fair game, and Octopunch loves nothing more than to pick over his personal wrecks, salvaging what he can.

Whirlwind
Summon a devastating tornado that moves to target location dealing damage every second. Stuns and interrupts defenses.

Octopunch is looking wonderful. Can't wait to try out his ability!

I so called them both looking like that HftD Seaspray mold, albeit with some new touches like Ratchet.

Release the sharktions!

Get out of my thread, filthy interloper, it has been hijacked in the name of the Seibertron Decepticon Alliance!

Besides, that's lousy recruiting... you don't say if your Bot or Con, and what the heck are victory points?

Don't answer, because I'll just mock you.
