Depends on the squad. If my flyers don't have the power to one-shot a level 10 mortar, I won't go into zone 12 with a zone 11 squad, but I can take a zone 8 squad into a zone 9. My squads right now are built right at the recommended zone strength, typically with a lower strength bot being leveled, so that's effectively a 6-bot squad, so it's tougher for me to justify stretching into a higher zone even with a combiner on backup. It's just not strong enough to make a huge difference.

 

I'm missing 16 and out of my last 27 3* crystal pulls, 1 bot has come out, 26 of 27 have been dupes. And you think you have crappy pulls.

 

Just pulled a 3* Windblade from shards. I'm all ready for Victorion, with a full 3* Torchbearer + CitySpeaker squad ready to go. 3*s have been good to me these last two, with my prior being Grimlock. Fully expected a dupe firefly though.

 

I need to rotate in the following characters that aren't maxed at level 30 yet: 2* Straxus (level 11), 2* Skrapnel (26), 3* Bombshell (22), 2* Swindle (26), 2* Nightbird (27) and 3* Nightbird (29). Here's a listing of the 5 squads that I am currently using in-game:

Squad 1 (current squad power - 1787)
2* Headstrong lvl 30
2* Breakdown lvl 30
2* BW Megatron lvl 30
2* Drag Strip lvl 28
3* Vortex lvl 30
2* Galvatron lvl 30


Squad 2 (current squad power - 2063)
(only squad w/ a theme: Constructicons backed by air support)
3* Bonecrusher lvl 30
3* Long Haul lvl 30
3* Mixmaster lvl 29
4* Scavenger lvl 30
3* Viper lvl 30
3* Slipstream lvl 30

Squad 3 (current squad power - 2215)
2* Scourge lvl 36
2* Skywarp lvl 30
3* Rampage lvl 30
2* Brake-Neck lvl 30
3* Galvatron lvl 33
3* Offroad lvl 28

Squad 4 (current squad power - 2452)
3* Starscream lvl 30
3* Skywarp lvl 30
4* Scrapper lvl 30
3* Scourge lvl 37
3* Onslaught lvl 31
2* Megatron lvl 32

Squad 5 (current squad power - 1866)
2* Tantrum lvl 32
2* Brawl lvl 30
3* Razorclaw lvl 27
3* Swindle lvl 30
2* Reflector lvl 27
3* Thundercracker lvl 30

Squads 1 & 5 are usually used in Zone 6 for farming and events and I use them as the squads dedicated to leveling up lower level 'Cons when I recruit them. Squads 3 & 4 are used in Zone 7 for farming and events and I use them as the big guns/heavy hitters. Squad 2 was originally put together to level up multiple Constructicons simultaneously. Right now, only Mixmaster is still accruing XP to reach level 30. I'd like to keep Squad 2 intact to rotate in 4* Constructicons as I recruit them.

 

I pulled a 3* Nemesis Prime from shards today. Worth a slot on an A/B team, or should he be relegated to C/D/E?

 

I would relegate him for now and use the event to level him up so you can have him research to at least 11 by Monday.

 

He should be at 10 already, on his way to 20.

 

Look at any of the gunners in the game (Swindle, Brawl, etc.) when you select a squad to attack with for farming, war &/or an event. They all have the same rifle. That's not new to Dustup.

 

These are both true statements. I'm just wondering about overall usefulness when he gets to be on par with the rest.

 

Rodimus/Nemesis Prime are wonky in use, it's a good way to save a vulnerable tank when you send it into a bunch of defenses or pop outposts, I use him to save hot spot (Tantrum) while reflecting all the defense damage. But he tends to walk long distances around walls while everyone else is hitting the wall and he gets himself into trouble.

 

Decided to gamble with the Firefly crystals... pulled a 3* Firefly on the third one. Superion FINALLY unlocked, should be able to get it to Level 5 thanks to the all the spark I had accumulated.

 

Sideswipe uses the rifle that smokescreen uses. Wheeljack doesn't even pull a rifle in the team screen.

 

I completed my first 1* through 4* set earlier this morning by recruiting 3* Scrapper. Now that I have him, I can toss 4* Scrapper into research.

Thanks to some hardcore farming, I completed upgrading 1 final mortar and cannon over the weekend and have 1 final turret start upgrading tonight. I just have 2 outposts & HQ to get to level 11. I also have 4* Scrapper in research.

 

If u r unsure about the layout, try looking at de top 25 players' bases for ideas.  

 

How does 1 look up the Top 25 players' bases?

 

Ranking Menu, then "Players."

 

You have a fully maxed out HQ 15 and yet don't know how to look at other people's bases ? C'mon ....

 

Alliance Totalizer with Prestiges this weekend for Kup/Dead End.

 

Actually, I am HQ 10, not 15. I don't know where you got that notion that I am HQ 15.
