This MIGHT be my best battle yet, I've been putting all 8 of my TFs in the arena in shifts (four at a time..duh) near-constantly for awhile now. I just noticed this one:

The luck factor in this game is a little ridiculous, I get 2 or 3 newbie TFs rushing in exp faster than the oldies :shock:

I'm getting XP left and right by having 8 TFs. Stick 4 in the arena at a time, and rotate between CR Chamber and Arena. IF I had a bunch more TFs, and timed it right, I could just do that all day.

It's good early on to have a lot of TF's but when things start gettting expensive...oi.

Believe me looking at three guys need 35-50K weaponry is not fun.

35-50k weapons? Ho-ly shit. This game needs tweaking, methinks. XP is redicoulsly (sp, 'cause I'm lazy) hard to come by, and money seems to be as well. Actually, they could both stay the way they are if everything just got cheaper...

Seibertron (and Vir before him) said there would be better stuff for higher ups.

But the biggest problem is for level 0 to get real XP...you have to kill level 1s.

And yeah weaponry gets very expensive...quickly.

Well you can stick with some lower level hardware for a while(no need for 11 Photon Rifles or Electron swords :P )

Though I wonder what will be the final weapon/sword.

I'm thinking either a Fusion cannon or something.

For Sword...no idea(though both at this rate will cost easily 150K+)

Money is not a problem for me. I currently have almost 80k energon, and my bots are nowehre near level 5 Firepower or skill. When the time comes, I could easily afford a Photon Eliminator Rifle or a Electron Schimatar Sword (or both).

Have a very nice day.

There might be more fun when the "Clan" is activated.

Edit: oh yes, and upgrade them.
Dose that mean that it dosen't cost much or dose that mean that there aren't very many p2p elements?

It means that there aren't too many p2p elements.

At level 0 with no stats...it's all luck based.

I don't think it's my best or anything, but linky.

Strength and 1 ton of Iron seems to give you a huge advantage in the times you get to hit the other person also...

TIP: get 8 TFs, and make put them in the arena, 4 at a time. Every hour, come back and switch off (after you get going, it will be once every hour, cause at least one out of the group of 4 usually loses, and you have to wait for his repair time to go before you can do that group again). You get lotz of points and money. Fun fun.

He avoided 5 times...and it fits that Transformations of Avoid do give big XP when used multiple times.

Strafe and Ram don't give as high because they are damage rated...Avoid simply just gives experience when used. I believe Repair is rated in a similar fashion to Ram and Strafe(based upon how many times...but more importantly how much damage done)
