    I hear ya. I went through the same debate regarding Hound and Wheeljack. Aye Wheeljack's base ability starts off at a higher % than Hound's, but Hound's front row attack was too tempting to pass up.

    I completed my MoonRacer today! Already fed two lower level bots (one was Firestar) to her. Now, is it worthwhile to Descendant Ratchet into Soundwave as he has synergy with Megatron while Ratchet doesn't with any of my team? The other option is replace Soundwave with my other healer, Perceptor. But Perceptor has a big single heal which comes in handy too.

    Doesn't Ratchet's group ability start off pretty high? I keep hearing rumors he's 72% (instead of 57% like Dr. Arky or Inferno) before upgrading the skill. If such is the case, do not Descendant him into Soundwave.

    I currently only run Inferno as my healer (Evolved to Class S) and have his group heal ability at max (lv 10, putting it at 79.5%) and he is a Healing BEAST. If Ratchet's group heal base starts higher than 57%, he's going to be even more gawdly once it's maxed out, regardless of who he does or doesn't synergize with.

    As for Perceptor and Soundwave. They're basically the same healer, they just synergize differently. Both have the ability to heal for (base) 220% and 500%. Both are single character heals -

    - Perceptor synergizes with Drift for increased attack 12% (but does anyone even have or even run Drift?) and with Wheeljack for 9% defense (but I think everyone runs Hound instead for his front row attack ability, despite the lower group def. buff).

    - Soundwave synergizes with Megs for 11% health increase (which is good), with Shockwave for 10% health (also good, but Shockwave is much less frequently seen), and Blaster for 10% attack (not bad overall, but I've rarely seen these two ran together).

    It comes down to which characters you run with. Since Megs is so common, and Soundwave does provide a health synergy with him, many tend to go with these two. Other than this, Perceptor and Soundwave are for all intents and purposes, the same character.


    Added note: Been debating about picking up a backstabber character (those that consistently attack the back row), such as Starscream or Cyclonus. I know Starscream has amazing synergies with Megs, Slipstream, Sunstorm, Galvatron, and the other Seekers. What synergies does Cyclonus have and with whom?

    Ah, thanks for the detailed analysis again! I had mistaken Soundwaves second heal ability. You are right, he is interchangeable with Perceptor. I think I will Descendant my Perceptor into Soundwave once I pick up a few for keys to evolve Soundwave some more. Perceptor keys aren't that easy to come by anymore after the update. And Ratchet's group heal does start higher, I have mine at level 7 and it's already 86%.

    As for Cyclonus, here's a snapshot of mine, still at level 1. It's tough to slot him in even if I'm running 9 small bots. I am using: Megs, Op, Hound, Sideswipe, Moon, Ratchet, Perceptor, Sunstorm, and Thundercracker. I will replace Thudercracker (he was my first pull) when I get another S bot that has a buff/debuff skill I don't have.

    This definitely makes Ratchet an automatic keeper. Three more days of Honor pts. farming and I'll finally get mine.

    Hmm. Interesting synergies, but I think Starscream will serve better as he has more atk synergies with more commonly used characters (Megs, other Seekers, Sunstorm, Slipstream). We're talking 19-20% on the average, 29% total if you run Megs, one of the clones, and one of the other seekers. That's nothing to scoff at.


    Interesting mix. I'm currently running Devy, Megs, OP, Hound, Scourge, Moon, and Inferno. It's a brutal set up so far. I have Sunstorm, Slipstream, and Superion as back ups (in cases such as Cyber Rush). I'm working on leveling Motormaster and now hunting Starscream Cyberkeys.


    I'd hold off on getting rid of him completely. Seekers are weak damage takers, but they hit hard and fast. I'd probably replace him for Slipstream who synergizes with Sunstorm and has a pretty decent armor debuff.

    If you have Scourge, he's surprisingly useful despite not having any useful synergies. His atk debuff has made it key for defending against enemy atks as well as ease off the pressure on your healers. But again, it all depends on what you will consistently run in your main deck.

    Here is my current team.

    [​IMG]

    I'm working on obtaining

    Jetfire, not sure who i'll replace
    Brawn for Jazz (Brawn is better)

    Then, I'm not sure where to go... I want to know what the following characters do before going after them

    Omega Supreme
    Ultra Magnus
    Shockwave

    I'm looking to have 3x Squad, 3x Single hitters, 1x Healer, and 1x Front, 1x Back (these last two, I would really like to have someone that does more than one ability. Like front row/squad, or front row/front row, or possibly Starscreams Back/back but, I haven't made up my mind) Also Not sure if I want to do Firestar also..

    Back ups:

    58 SS Devastator (Front / All) (almost SSS)
    58 SS Sunstorm (1 / All)

    68 S Mixmaster (Front / All)
    61 S Hound (Front / Def Up)
    61 S Bumblebee (1 / Back)
    59 S Sunstreaker (1 / Back)
    50 S Bombshell (1 / Squad)
    49 S Brawn (1 / 1)
    45 S Cliffjumper (1 / Front)

    Think i'm going to pass actually building Superion (I have him built and almost a SS but still level 1) and go straight on to Menasor.

    So... confused...so much to do.... not enough to do everything I want to do.. lol

    Nice deck Erland! I'm a little jealy of your 7 star team. I can never seem to acquire enough resources to raise my team past 5 stars (having a triple S Devastator eats up a lot of resources! :lol )

    As for Jetfire. I recently acquired him on one of my other accounts. He's typical of the jet-formers in this game: fast and hard hitting. His abilities all aim for the front row enemies. His synergies are "eh": 13% spd increase with Superion and 10% def with Starscream. I found I like Skywarp better for his atk synergy with Starscream. I'm not too sure if he's worth picking up over that of one of the other Seekers or Starscream clones (in particular Slipstream).

    Brawn. I am curious, you have three solid tanks in your deck: Nemesis, Megs, and Motormaster. Why pick Brawn?

    Omega Supreme. Big 'n' chunky without taking up 3 slots in your deck. His abilities are akin to Meg's, both single target (one for massive damage, the 2nd for redonkulous damage). Synergizes with Devastator for 12% atk, Metroplex for 12% def, and Sky Lynx for 12% health.

    Ultra Magnus abilities hit front row (both versions). He synergizes w/Cyclonus for 11% atk, I know he has a synergy with two others (I think Rodimus Prime was one of them). Alas, I only caught a glimpse of him :( 

    Shockwave. Oh this one-eyed bastard-bot. I'm dying to get him, but since I do not have Menasor nor Deluge yet, I can wait :wink:  I have yet to see his abilities, but his synergies are pretty BOSS: 18% atk with Menasor, another 9% with Deluge, 15% spd w/Moonracer (and who doesn't use her?), and 10% health w/Soundwave. Yeah, I definitely want him.

    As for Superion and Menasor. If you have Devy close to Sx3, skip on Superion. He's a carbon copy of Devy minus the synergies. If you have Orion Pax I'd say work on Superion as they synergize with each other well. But other than this, skip to Menasor.

    Here's my team now. I just swapped Soundwave for Perceptor and even though he's a couple evolve levels lower, he's already stronger than my Perceptor was. Probably due to the boost with Megs, so happy with that.

    Now hearing about Shockwave's synergies makes me want to get him too! But who does he replace? Hound, Sideswipe, and Sunstorm are the easiest to get free keys (sides from Devy, whom I just got to SSS, but I mostly use him in Cyber Rush). Perhaps Thundercracker, but hearing about Starscream (whom I don't have either) makes me hesistant about Descending him away. Perhaps I'll sac one of my backup little bots: IronHide or Orion Pax.

    Another 7 Star team. I'm definitely jealous now :lol 

    Here's my team currently
    Screenshot_2015-05-14-21-15-58[1].jpg

    My proud achievement is that triple S Devy (he's like a pRoN star: can take, and dish out, one hell of a pounding :lol ). I'm still very starved for Dev Energon and Starmetals, though. I eat through them like it was air. Finally, I am 2k honor pts shy from finally acquiring Ratchet! :D

    For Devy, now that he's SSS, I may use him more. When he was weaker, it seemed like 3 bots were better. His advantage is his big HP pool as you say: he can eat damage and protect your back row even if the front row bots are gone. By the way, how can you boost only his HP develop stats? I am only at 10K out of 58K max, whereas his others are about 1/2 to max or better.

    There's no secret for Starmetals, I am a freebie player except for that $1 I dropped to get Prime. Do both world boss rushes per day. Modify your team with the best attackers (no combiners if possible) and weakest 3 in the middle. Use the cyber tickets to boost damage if you know you can play for the entire time. Also attack more often near the end using tickets to try and get the last finish bonus.

    For Trials, use tickets to double rewards for the S and A trials when they have the "Lucky" sign flashing. Use tickets for both events when there are double rewards going on!

    Finish all daily tasks that give out Starmetals.

    Thanks for the head up on Ratchet and MoonRacer.
    now replacing Dr. Arkeville >> Ratchet, FireStar >> MoonRacer...

    I also have JetFire? Its he any good? or who should I replace?

    My Current Line up :
    Front Row >> MEgatron(S), Motormaster (SS), OP(S)
    Back Row >> Hound & Scourge, Soundwave & Ratchet, MoonRacer & Slipstream
    LOL... I pair them in such a way that one gave armor the other Break them... Hound & Scourge, and MoonRacer & Slipstream one Add Atk one Break Armor..

    lol...

    I also have Snarl & Slug ... in another account... isst good to replace them as Front row Defender? Current running MEga, MotorH and Nemiss Prime...

    On game play...
    - I reserve my cyber Ticket to 10 draw at 2800 tickets... and for Special Event when u can Accumulate 3000 Ticket used... to claim extra item.

    - For Extra Dark Cyberkey, I exchange all my Below "A" Class CyberKey...so, if I saw Ratchet or something I want... I do the exchange Cyberkey to get them ASAP.

    - also Arena Battle Rewards, Have Cyberkey for Ratchet, Shockwave... and Dark Cyberkey. Even u lose a battle... u get Honor point... collect them until u can exchange the cyberkey u want, so sooner or later Ratchet will join ur team also la.

    - do Cyber Rush (Hard) and buy Motormaster cyberkey as much as u can... coz he the best Free Resources bot to level to SSS... just battle as far as u can.. then last 2 battle or sort use call alley... then after 00:00 reset... call another or 2 alley to clear them out... then follow thru with a Normal Stage cyber rush... then u are good for another day.

    p/s: also Cyber rush now can use SKIP button ... even Newly unBattle map can also use skip... the game just get faster....

    N/p on the heads up. I'm probably going to set up a doc (if no one has yet) composing a list of all S & A class characters, what their abilities are, and who they synergize with. Hopefully I can get the original poster to set it up on the first page of this thread.

    As mentioned previously, Jetfire is typical of this game's jet-formers: fast & hard hitting. His abilities all target front row opponents. His synergies is what appears to be a tad lacking as he has no atk boons with anyone.

    Hound & Scourge are a great combo. Scourge is soo underrated it's not even funny. He has been the biggest thorn on my opponent's damage. I can't wait to max out his ability :thumb 
    Moonracer & Slipstream are also pretty boss. But I am curious, why run two healers? Ratchet is pretty disgustingly powerful by himself. I'd probably replace Soundwave for Starscream if you get your Ratchet up high enough, but that's just me.

    All great tips! Also you can get 1 more Call Ally per day if you are willing to spend 20 tickets. And the bots on the bench heal MORE during battles, so make judicious use of those 2/3 Call Allies to heal up your own damaged bots as well.

    As for Shockwave, I just got him too. His first ability is Charge (ala Hound) and his second is a Squad attack ala Menasor, but starts out at 1x, which is higher than Menasor!

    Someone complained that debuffs are stronger simply by the way the math works. Suppose you are at attack 100, +20% brings you to 120, but if you get hit with a -20% attack buff now, you go down to 96! Still lower than the original!

    I run two healers to try and get all the 3 star rewards on each campaign at the 3 levels.

    Who are all the buffers and debuffers?

    Buffers:
    Hound +Def
    Firestar +Atk
    Ironhide +Def (Self only)
    Shockwave +Def?

    Debuffers:
    uh.. yeah...

    Shockwave unfortunately does not buff nor debuff. His primary ability hits first row and 2ndary hits an enemy squad.

    Hardhead also has one turn supershield akin to Ironhide (but he's a B Class character).

    Moonracer is like Firestar, but has better stats.

    Wheeljack is like Hound that provides a group Def Buff and has a better % than Hound, but his primary ability only attacks one character (unlike Hound who hits first row).

    Blaster and Red Alert both buff your group's Spd.

    Strafe provides the enemy with a Spd debuff.

    Scourge hits the enemy with an Atk debuff.

    Both Acid Storm and Slipstream provide the enemy with a Def debuff.

    That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

    Hi everyone, has this game been released on the US Play Store or the US App Store? Or is it still the international server/version you are all playing on? Thanks!

    Still the SE Asian Engrish version. Have heard anything on if/when the NA version will come out. Finally got all the Autobot Fembots as well as having Flamewar and Shadowstalker. Building up Chromia and Moonracer before adding them to my team.
