I've been using Grinders with red discs along with ANY backup bot I want to boost, so far they win every time. Currently I'm at Level 19 facing Laser & Caterpillar

Is this still holding since the update?

No. Lvl 15 Grinder with red disk + random secondary will lose to lvl 14/15 Caterpillar + Carrier with their battle objects. I managed to beat them using Aloe with Fire Plant supporting Grinder

I may be mistaken but it seems that after you loose a battle you get a new random pair ( had floodlight and laser bot, both without any battle gizmo, so i took the same a pair with battle gizmo and yeah won the battle! Anxious to see what pair will be proposed next.

Yes, after a couple of wins you face the same pair every time. When you lose they mix it up.

Had a victory with bouncer and spray, both with attatchments v. Floodlight and guitar both with attatchments.

13 mole with grater/13 floodlight power light vs. 13 caterpillar regular drill and laser bot with laser cannon. Lost....the mole held up well but the floodlight bot was zero help...charge speed does not appear to improve melee and his damage was around 7. He has no defense. Will keep working on what he should be good at supporting...thinking charge damage? If someone wants to try him supporting a carrier with rocket launcher...make sure and log the results. Otherwise I'll sacrifice for the cause.

15 grinder with disc and 10 repair with no gizmo crushed a 15 caterpillar and laser with raygun.

I'd swap them. Light is better at Melee and Carrier is better at Range. I'll do one of those in a couple of minutes when my Arena resets.

You're so funny, Fletch. You name your bots after thier gizmos. Don't tell anyone, I have done the same thing.

Ma'am, my aim is to have one of every Gizmo on display, so I need to do this to keep track of them.

I am pretty funny though. Also funny pretty.

[Bliss]

That is a good reason. I do it because I am lazy.

[technofanatic]

Fletch Very good on the lite bot carrier battle.....so the charge speed in the primary position does not enhance the carriers damage scores..I am assuming....

[Bliss]

I just lost with fletch's combo. They were devistated. But I only had the rocket launcher, not the charge speed. But, the charge speed seems useless in a short fight, I think? If it takes 4 rounds to charge, but your bot dies in three rounds, then do you get benefit? I always avoided charge speed gizmos because I thought that is how they work.

[technofanatic]

I wonder if a flower bot with cactus +++charge speed will enhance the light bots's +++charge speed. I'll try it..

[Cobus]

I name mine what they are such as Carrier, etc. I got this habbit from DV. I got tired of scanning through the looooong list for breeding so I named them what they were so I could find them quickly. We're just logical people :-)

Rocket Launcher has Charge Speed. What combo were you fighting against?

Think She means the floodlight didn't have charge speed. launcher is charge damage. I think Bliss is thinking that charge speed should be irrelevant in these short fights and her combo should have done as well as yours.

Ah. Well she's wrong.

If you have a look at the screen shot you'll see that the Laser Bot it's Charge function is filled a lot more than my two bots. Maybe that's the function of the Science Element?

ran floodlight 13 (+++charge speed) / 15 flower (+++charge speed) vs. 12 floodlight (0) /13 rock (++melee). Won.... my floodlight was knocked out though. would post pictures but the trick is alluding me...I don't know what photo bucket is.... read the forum handbook. With pro-boards not working Its going to take me awhile to figure out.

[technofanatic]

15 solar (+++speed +++charge speed) / x-ray (++armor) vs. 15 caterpillar(+++ranged) 14 laser (++pierce). Got pounded... It is obvious that the solar has no business up front.. I"ll try him in the back next. I thought the x-ray dealt ok damage (70?) however it didn't seem his armor handled the pierce from the laser...

You may have to email yourself the image you want to post, save it. Then use the Attachment option in the posting box. Just choose the file from wherever you saved it. It won't show in the posting box, or in the preview pane, but will show in your post. Just please try to keep the size down.

You can also post images directly from the iphone/ipad in safari -- there is a button to "choose a file" to attach to your post, which can be taken from the camera roll on your iDevice.
