Battle of the Builds - Episode 1

[@roelwieggers4181]

In clanwars i use this massive reaper brick with a skinner. Usually against dog type builds. most of the times i get the lowest score of the team but i use the skinner and the pushforce of my brick to keep all those dogs pinned while the rest of my team unloads on them. I also dont get points for saving a teammates life when i pull a dog away from them. All im saying is, points dont mean that much. This is a nice video format tho. I hope you can try the cannons on hovers too to see how more effective they get.

[@TCS23]

I know what you're saying. I have a Kapkan troll build that hardly scores any points but it stops opponents in their tracks. So, in a way you are sharing points with your teammates, as if you were a fusion build.

[@garbodude4365]

Looking forward to more of these, really interesting stuff

[@TCS23]

Thanks man, I appreciate the support. 🙂

Thanks Steve! 👍

Hey, thanks, this is pretty useful! I'm rather low-tier myself, but I usually roll a truck with 4 or 5 MGs on there, front-to-rear, park myself facing left of the enemy, and aim for their guns one-by-one until they're all disabled or I die. Better to have 15 dogs without teeth than 5 with, eh?

[@TCS23]

lol, nice! MGs are legit. I was thinking of testing them out in the next episode. 🤔 What PS rating is your MG build? Is it on the exhibition?

[@bunnyonabunwithagunnicepun5689]

@@TCS23 Haven't checked recently, but if I remember correctly, something like 4 to 5K PS? And it's not on exhibition, so just imagine a Volkswagen on steroids with 4 small guns on it. I also have a bit of a habit of putting multiple weak guns on a car instead of just 1 strong gun, so that if one goes down, at least I have a backup. It's really only effective with an okay team, though - I'm just the guy that uses guns to disable guns, I'm no superman.

[@TCS23]

@@bunnyonabunwithagunnicepun5689 I hear ya. It sounds like a good build, we'll just have to test it out! 🙂

[@felixthiburs9562]

Yes, but the skill you put into the fight can make a huge difference, one player might not be able to do MVP while the other will hold the fire, so depending on when you play you won't be facing the same opponent, to fix this maybe put an higher numbers of battles at different times Keep it up ! It's realy nice My curent rating for my builds : 1- Triple Summator Growl (3999 PS) : Overpowered 2- Double MG13 Aurora RN Seal (4999) : Superior (room for upgrade it's more an art build, on exib name : Return) 3- Dual Fafnir Chameleon Mk1 Flywheel Cheeta (4999) : Overpowered 4- Triple Piercer Torero Doppler RN Seal&Taymyr (4999) : Overpowered 5- Dual GL-55 Rn Seal (4999) : Awesome (need a lot of skill, on exhib Deap Blue) 6- One Fatman Armored Tracks, Carapace, Flywheel : Balanced (on exhib : Marx) 7- Dual Hulk Growl Flywheel (4999) : Supperior (still some room for upgrade but not worth the time it's fine) 8- One Mandrake 2 Hermes 1 Blastoff Doppler Growl (5999) : Superior (can't be upgraded) 9- Dual Hulk Bastion Flywheel (5999) : Superior 10 - Snowfall Harpy Doppler Flywheel (6999) : Complacent (Need rework) 11- Dual Parser Torero Aegis-Prime Cheeta (8999 PS) : Overpowered 12- Double Mandrake Harpy (13999) : Complacent and deficient (Need a team mate with a Doppler alone this build is useless) Most of my parts are upgraded, no fuel Still looking for 7999 builds

[@TCS23]

Thanks for the feedback Felix! Yeah, this rating system is not the definitive solution, but at least its something to work with. Nice list too! I'll have to check out some of these builds. 👍

[@felixthiburs9562]

​@@TCS23 I'm working on some other sets (i have some upgraded Judges and 2 Kings, waiting for me in the garage... i did build a Mandrake double king too ("Spooky King" on the exhib, an halloween theme build), it's fun to play and i'll say it's a good Balanced+ since a lot of player used to rush mandrake for an easy kill... But the Kings leaves marks...

[@PeterPq]

Great content! Please feature Tempuras in a future episode, if possible. Gotta be one of my favorite special weapons. I use them on a build called "UnWelder_SM" that i put on the exhib but its higher PS than most people usually prefer, that just appeals to me personally.

[@TCS23]

Great suggestion! I have only used tempuras a few times, so I'll be sure to check out that build on the EX. 👍

[@captionlazerray1862]

Nice

[@TCS23]

Thx 🙂

[@NELLNICK]

Great video and nice rating system. Will definitely use it to rate my builds actual effectiveness. I do notice that someone can have a great build and still do sh*tty in battles because of their play style. Must know how to use the build effectively as well as not doing things that will cause them to die within the first 30 seconds of a battle I.e. rushing into a swarm of enemies.

[@TCS23]

That is very true, just because a build is good does not automatically make a player good. But at least it's helpful to know the potential effectiveness of a build. 🙂

[@NELLNICK]

@@TCS23 It’ll be cool to see some gameplay tips too. 😉

Cool vid Bro! 😎

[@TCS23]

Thx! 😃

[@philippeambroise6702]

awesome content as always. I was searching for a legit method to rate the grinding capability of my builds. However your work would be perfection if it would take in consideration survavibility of the build you can won and be crucial for your team without surviving ...wihtout gasoil so. Add a survavibility note man ! AWESOME WORK, I will apply that.

[@TCS23]

I agree, survivability is an important factor but difficult to gauge. I might just include the survived/destroyed ratio for a build into the next episode. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂

[@Tronnos840]

500 is a good number, because when you just cap the points, you'll End up having 450 points for doing nouthing

[@TCS23]

That's a good point. Capping is good, but more effort is really needed to support your team.

[@frenkwiersma2191]

Good serie keep it up

[@TCS23]

Thanks so much! 🙂

[@spyshark_5002]

If possible, I think doing it by 600 may be better. I say this because the game itself will give you a 1:1 ratio of points to reputation up until 1200 points, after which your points gained will sharply reduce. I see it as the game saying that 1200 should be your average score

[@TCS23]

Interesting. 🤔 Well this rating system is just something I came up with based on the patterns I was seeing, so I can adjust it if necessary. Thanks for the input. 🙂

Booster Tsunami goes brrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@yeboisam4808]

Hey so the update came out yesterday and I seem to be getting much less score than before did they nerf the score?

[@TCS23]

Hmm, not that I know of. What build are you running?

[@maxlordplayz5066]

there are a lot of diffrent players wich means a veichel with 6K ps might be better for them than a 6.7 PS cuz evryone is diffrent and has stronger and weaker points

[@TCS23]

I agree, that's why I made a rating system that can be used for anyone to try on a build of their choice. You might score better than me with the same build, but more than likely the rating should be close to the same.

[@pieterpeeters7504]

This kind of rating is a good idea... however maybe change it a little bit? I dont play on PS6000+ rating right now.... so it is not possible to score 3000+ points.. at least I never gotten that much and neither did any of the players. There must be a "link" between the PS-level you play and the numbe rof points you can score, yes? yesterday with a quick glance over the scores, 1000-1200 was about the max... so not counting it when it is below 500 feels not right. So maybe a good idea to scale it to the max score of each game ranking it down. 0-15% of max = 0 16-30% of max = 1 31-45% of max = 2 etc Instead of using fixed numbers.... I think it does not matter then in which PSlvl you play.

[@TCS23]

Hey Pieter, Thanks for the nice score rating suggestions, I'll have to look into that more. With the testing I did, although a 3000+ high score might be difficult to achieve with lower PS build, the overall rating after 20 games has the potential to reach a good ranking. In the second episode I show a brief clip of a 2000+ base score that I got with a sub 2000 PS build, so you might be surprised at what's possible.

[@herewardofbourn8197]

Fact you can strip 2 reaper and end up with 300 score

[@TCS23]

Did you know that reapers never overheat? It's true. 😂

[@gamingace9612]

I love your vids but I want to ask if i can trade guns between me and my friend?

[@TCS23]

Thanks! Unfortunately, you cannot trade items between players. The only option you have is to buy or sell items from the in-game market.

[@xslowday6850]

But what if you just get lucky

[@TCS23]

There's no doubt that happens at times, so that's why each build is tested in 20 consecutive games. This ensures that even a bad game or two will be adjusted to give you a reasonable rating.

[@felixthiburs9562]

More battles, let's say 2 weeks, if you manage to get lucky for 2 weeks jeez man !

[@TCS23]

@@felixthiburs9562 More battles = More accurate average. That also means a lot of grinding though, which is why I just kept it simple... 20 games, get a rating. Done. 😂
