Thanks for that. Looks like they've added them as rewards for winning in the Arena which is good.

My sense is we have been limited to 6 crystals a day. Is anyone getting more? If so let me in on the secret.....

I'm only getting 3 as bonuses. Or were you counting gifts from friends as well?

I do have the app, but the option to attach images from the app has a glitch in it. Sometimes the option to choose from the camera roll is present, sometimes not. The intend to fix it, but have not as yet.

That is so odd. I'm using the new iPad, too and the option to attach from a file is visible from Safari.

Edit: Did a little reading on the subject and it seems uploading files in Safari was enabled when updating to iOS 6.xx. Which iOS are you using?

Maybe that's the problem. I've deliberately not updated to iOS 6 'cos I use google maps a lot which links directly from some websites that I use.

New Google Maps app out yesterday! Might want to check out if this fixes the websites you use. koala. So glad to have them back! Is iPhone version, but looks pretty good on iPad.

Didn't get it as I thought it was only for the iPhone but since you've got it on your iPad, will give it a go and update to iOS 6 soon. Thanks!

Determined that Yeti should be a arena beast I put him up front with the tried and true Aloe as his support. Well, they lost. The other team must have only had 1hp though bc the bar was empty. Yeti even with the plow just doesn't hit very hard. Disappointing

I'm using Yeti with Harvester as Support and won the last couple of times. Are using Level 15 bots and Fire Plant on the Aloe?

He's 14 so the extra level will probably bring a win but yes the Aloe has the fire plant.

If you were a higher level than your opponents, I'd give it another go. Yeti and Aloe are both Nature hybrids, so have the largest amount of Health to take hits.

Gifts from friends also....

I saw that trainer/elf shoes and aloe/festive tree are missing from the chart. They are a bit large for their frame and they wouldn't hold still for the photo I hope the images are useful anyway. Assuming the photo attachment function works, Here's trainer.

Haha, looks like the elf shoes are perplexing to him. Thank you!

Sent another couple of missings to the photostream.

Cute! Thank you.

Am a bit behind with the pics, will try to get to them soon.

Now that my Astros are all leveled up, I'm experimenting with other lead bots to see who else I can work on.

So far, I've had success against the caterpillar/laser with these leads:
Grinder (red disc)
Mole (cheese grater)
Yeti (snow plow)

And I've been using these for support:
Aloe (fire plant)
Harvester (stinger)
Carrier (any gizmo; don't have the rocket launcher)

And from the last couple of pages, Solar is also a good support bot. Any other specific bots that have worked well for people as leads? As support?

[Pixie]

Good to know Aloe make good support - want to be increasing % for those after I finish my last Carrier. Need to test Spray as I want those % up, too.

[viviane]

With grinder lvl 15 and red disk i have no problems to win with: rock bot, bouncer, trainer, grav, aloe of course all equiped with the battle gizmos.
Yeti has not been very convincing for me.
I also tried the same combo as oponents just with higher level, battles won (sometimes the opposite caterp just has the carrot gizmo, i wonder if those seemingly no use gizmo finally have some skills)

[chilipepper]

Note to self: Do not send aloe into battle with the christmas tree on his head.

Not pretty, huh? I almost did that with Aloe today - caught it just in time.

[viviane]

Came accross a grinder with wreath, my grinder with red disk just glanced at him and hop he was gone lol

I was curious as to the star that went with the gizmo. Did it transfer to the bot?
