Cost or stats - which is more important?

Kind of curious to see what the community prefers, since I've seen people running 300-cost bots as well as people with their 1600-cost Bynes or what-have-you at the same skill levels.

I personally have bots of both types, but prefer middling bots in the 700-900 cost range that still have decent stats.

well my hentai fellow.i think that low cost do'nt make you a headache to the teammates,for example,i prefer to have low cost robots than high cost,because if i lose a robot of 1800 cost,i would fuck up all the team.stats is good for everything,a
robot become bad not because his weapons do little damage like little zook,but because he have low stat.

High stats with low cost

Stats. But most of my robots have low-mid cost, anyway.

Pardon?

High Stats/Cost for AIR. Normally my crims that are about 1.1-1.3k in cost.
AIR whore all the way. Shooting down or Dog fights.

Mid cost for LND. I try not to exceed 800-900 mark with my Misty

Depends. I have my commandoes like this:
1: Basic Union War / Shuffle. Built with 1 high cost seraph and two low cost trollbots.

2:Epoch Def. These are high cost,(1k-1.4k) because DEF doesn't take that much BP from you, and i MUST MAKE SUJRE THE POWERSPOT NEVER DIES.

3: Epoch Offense: 2 bots with low cost but high survival rate (misty and byne) and one low cost fast bot for distracting

4. Union Set (outnumbered) Survival bots. misty, byne, squealer , all mid-cst

5. Berz Commando ya'll know that cost.

6. Haku Commando ya'll know that cost.

Depends on the bot. I tend to like LNDs with low-mid cost cause they're usually suicidal.

For anything else, mid-high cost is fine because I don't play the slow L ART kind and I'm a hit-and-run fag with AIR.

All in all, 800-1.1k cost with decent stats.

low cost , at least i can get 1st without tunning or swaping parts from my bots without a problem

Spoiler:

Stats mean nothing if you can't equip it.

I believe it's both important. I have to admit i got some pretty expensive bots if u look at my play style xD

I think you're confusing cost and capacity. What I'm asking is "Are you the guy with the 1600-cost mighty byne, or the troll running 80-cost machinegun beezles?"

for some reason it double posted , maybe i hit the quote instead of the edit button ._.

Suppose I did, I was thinking parts and weps for some reason.

Well with my lag right now, I can't afford using anything other than my troll commando of 300 cost bots.

I'm the guy with the 1600 cost byne, literally. Though it's more like 1410 because that's as high as he'll go without leg capacity tunes. However I tend to balance out my mechs at 1000~ and tune them to fit my needs, and I find low cost mechs below 500 are more fitting to players who die alot.

implying that below 500 is a low cost bot , real man go for below 300

I generally go for bots in the 1k-1.2k range, these seem to fit my style the best.
Normally I won't have to die if I play right, but if I do die it's usually 2k+ off of our BP, which is a significant chunk so I avoid dying.

Tuning's overrated.

I'd rather go for cost. Due to the constant updates, I might see a new weapon I might want, so I'll need the cost to be able to use it.

And not to mention the poor man's pretty much incapable of tuning.

*cough harmonics and slot protectors cough*

If you log in enough and get lucky, you'll get some of those.

If you're lucky.

Nothing but +10% Alpha harmonics were used in the tuning of this bot.



Tuning is very much possible without slot protectors, anyone that says otherwise is too scared to try.

I'm jealous of that slotted ribbon.

Yeah where'd you get that? Lucky drop at quest?
