Nice starting guide. I prefer the Alkaline Battery + Dagger + 3 Small Wheels option. What about you?

I like the same as carl, then go to wheels to engine.
(hehehe carl has 420 posts)

I like starting off with nothing, then win twice (to two different people) by doing the pit float (dont battle anyone with projectiles). Then sell your hydrogen battery and buy an alkaline and a dagger. You end up having 4 small wheels instead of the cheaper 3 small wheels and you end up with 5 extra credits to spend instead of 3. You'll then be able to sell the more expensive wheels in order to help pay for 4 large wheels. (You can also sell the motor to help pay for small engine deluxe but it is the same with both)

Why don't you start with dagger, then get 2 wins and go for alkaline? Pit floating with no battery ain't working every time and everyone else starts with same bad battery, so why not a good old hydrogen + dagger start...if you really care about couple of saved credits...

nice guide for the new players !

Hmm let's see, how do I do it ? If I remember correctly, I eh .. hmmm

I think what I do it I buy an extra hydrogen battery and no dagger, I put the
armor to max, making my bot slow then I outrun the opponent anyway. I drag
them into the firepit when they chase me (pitfloat) and it works allmost every
time ... because they are so eager to kill an innocent and defenseless little
puppy on wheels - it makes you cry when you think about it - I give them a last
shove into the flames and watch them roast in hell with great satisfaction and
amusement. They deserve to burn/.

Sorry, got carried away .. but you get the idea: Do not underestimate the
stupidity of 99% of the people, they will chase you and all you have to do is
drag them into your slipstream and into the fire.

After a few wins I can buy alkaline battery and sell the two hydrogen b. Then
I win some more and buy a dagger, then I win like 8 times and buy nails, after
I have the nails it's easy. - read this -

NAIL TRICK

I go to a place on the roof where i will have 10/15
seconds undisturbed and a place not too close to a wall.
I wait until I stand completely still and then I drop all
25 nails and I do not move my robot. My adversary has
come to seek me and he has found me now. He comes
at me full speed but he doesn't see the LARGE nail
- made up off 25 nails dropped at the same spot - that
I have hiding under my chassis and as he bumps me
over he is likely allready dead. If he is not the nail is a
great thing to hide behind. Like the firepit float, you can
make him chase you and "accidently" drag him into the
deadly nail. If you think this is far fetched, I say try it for
yourself. Fast money garanteed !

lol... ok i guess that could work... (the first one)(and i already had that on...)

but remember, this is for stuff that you can do right off the bat. (the nail trick is impossible for starters)

Here is my guide... randomly press every button you see accidentally clicking on lobby, then accept someone and lose 3 times to finally understand he had a weapon, then go to workshop and buy power axe, then lose 3 more times because you can't hit anyone since game is laggy. Back to workshop, sell power axe and get the plow, since it's more expensive than dagger, should be a better weapon...lose 3 more times to go back to workshop and buy a dagger, put it on back and go to lobby, lose 3 more times since you can't fight with back dagger, yet again back to workshop, place the dagger on front and maybe you can even win now.

hmm... so thats how wowA+ had such a good score...

No, that's for putting razors on back with 1 armour.

Every 3rd WALL does at least half of that, and you know it's bad starting strategy, but those new players just don't think of a strategy...

Why is it bad?

Because its a waste of money?

I sometimes just be alkaline right away with no attachments and own all people. I just run
and then bump them off the edge whan they are drained.

I feel drained

Uhm.... that's cool... good for you?
