How to play Minos?

August 26, 2021

Minos is my favourite Titan because it beacon runner (fast using its Charge), can push robots in the abyss using Charge. Has a great defence with Reflector shield. Weapons : Squall : The best weapons for Minos is 3x Squall, it is the most used build in Legend League. Squall is a shotgun so very efficient against Shell and Arthur or any robots with a physical shield. You charge close to the enemy and unload quickly your 3 Squall. You can take down almost any titan by doing that (except maybe top Nodens or Sharanga, but you will hurt them badly). Retaliator : I personally use retaliator. First reason is because I don't have 3 Squall maxed out. But also because like Squall it is a shotgun so do double damage against physical shields (Arthur, Shell, etc). I Also like to shot at 500m and hide when my Reflector ability is reloading. I use Cannibal reactor to focus on titans and Self-Fix Unit. Staying away give me enough time to reload my weapons and ability, but also maximise the Self-

How to win on Abyss map?

June 05, 2021

Hi commanders! Abyss is my favourite map on war robots so when I saw Pixonic asking to write strategy articles about it, I thought it is time to write a new post on The Art of War Robots (TAOWR). Abyss map has been created using the idea of War Robots community, so it is a War Robots fan's map. For more details on the creation process, click here. At the beginning, I was not a fan on tele-porters, but now I understand the benefit: that allow to make a big map smaller. A bit map is interesting as more elements, buildings, etc, but the problem is when you have your Arthur in a corner on the map, it takes ages to go to the opposite. It creates also infinite possibilities. For example Yamantau map was the most hated map because snipers wait for robots crossing the map to shoot them. So was quite static. But now the Yamantau could come back, just need to add a few tele-porters and problem solved. Beacons of Abyss map: D and E are home beacons and the most difficult to capture for the op

How did i improve my % of victory by changing one robot in my hangar?

June 05, 2021

Recently I changed a robot in my hangar, that had a huge impact as I improved my victory % from 40 to 60%. This robot is Orochi. Before i used a long range robot like Raven that can either shoot from up to 600m with 2 pulsar and 2 magnetar or triple jump to cross the map to capture a beacon. I also used Leech or Typhoon with also 600m range pulsar. I was most of the time starting with Demeter as a kind of beacon runner: Demeter can teleport to an ally capturing a beacon. Most of the time i could capture one or two beacons and help my teammates to survive. I watched a video where Orochi was used with 2 anciles. I found it fun and wanted to try. I boosted a second Ancile and started to play Orochi as a starting robot trying to capture quickly the central beacon. It worked very well, i had victories after victories and often we quickly have 4 or 5 beacons. Usually the time i take the central beacon my teammates capture our 2 closest beacons. I usually stay on central beacon to keep it un

Best robots and titans 2021-05

June 05, 2021

Hello, The last ranking for the best titans and robots of War Robots is here. There is now enough time since the last update to see whether or not new titans, robots and weapons will join the top. This ranking is based on the usage in Legend League (the top 100 players of War Robots). Thanks to like and share if you like! ------- BEST TITANS: 6th: Kid 4/10 Looks like Kid will always occupy the last place of the ranking. --- 4th equal: Ao Ming & Arthur 5/10 (+1) Ao Ming and Arthur are not popular any more at top level. Almost none of the best players use them. --- 3rd & Second: Sharanga & Minos Sharanga 9.5/10 (-) The new Titan is very popular at top level, used with Grom (too bad for Pixonic who wanted to make a Titan Sniper. The top 3 titans are almost equally used, so don't hesitate to play any of them if you have it. --- Minos 9.5/10 Must be played with Squall. Minos is still at the top and has not lose rank since Sharanga arrived. But let's see how it evolve as

Top Robots of 2021-04

April 25, 2021

Hello, April ranking is here! This ranking is based on the hangar of the top War Robots players (Legend League). "Like or Share" if you like this content. Thanks! It is interesting to see whether or not the meta is changed with the new weapons (Scald, Scorcher, Incinerator). Often new weapons are OP and changed a lot the meta. For example with Sonic weapons. But this is not the case for the new weapons. They are good weapons and used by some of top players, but not that often compared to Sonic weapons. Robots : 10th: Bullwark (-) 5/10 First time for Bullwark in the top 10. Maybe because now with many anti-Sell/Physical Shiel weapons like flame weapons, having an energy shield is more efficient. 9th: Leech (-2) 5.5/10 Leech lost 2 places in the ranking. Recommended weapons: Pulsar 8th: Fenrir (=) 6/10 No change for Fenrir. Recommended weapons: Devastator+Havoc 7th: Blitz (+2) 6.5/10 Not sure why Blitz is more popular than last month. If you have an idea, don't hesitate to

War Robots Strategy - Know yourself and know your enemy

October 17, 2020

Hello, This is the first of a series of strategy posts to apply on battlefield in order to get the best ranking of the battle and increase the chance to win. Both winning a match and having a good ranking among your team is important to get better reward (Silver, Gold, Keys, experience) Know your enemy and know yourself “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” -- Sun Tzu - The Art Of War This principle is applicable in all confrontations, not only in War Robots. It is very important to know very well your robots, weapons, pilots skills and drones to maximise their output. I am not going to detail how to play each robot here (I will do it in other separate posts), but it is important to know your robot ability and optimise it. For example Leech is weak when his ab
