No, never spend a single cent. tips on fast crystal: 1. play mobile, you get extra about 1000 crystal for each battle, so in my rank, each battle about 500 crystal, so 1500 crytal per battle for sure, on double fund day, that is 2000 crystal for each battle. 2. play mobile, you can get 10 shards every 1 hour by a ad, so each day you get extra 2 containers from shards 3. play mobile, you can get 10 shard every battle, so 10 battle = 1 free container 4. play mission, you can get 2 container w mission battle, 5. open 5 container each day, you can get extra average 15k also so 6. change mission in mobile, so all crystal mission get you 6k crystal so free crystal about at least 100k per week, from challenge, weekly container, luck from container

agree, every 3 month a 50% sale is good, 1. New year (Jan) 2 March ? 3. Tanki birthday (June) 4. Tanker's Day Celebrations (Sep) also the small sale seems every 2 week, since my booster drone 1 step mu take 14 days, just in time last 30% sale, my crystal after buying, my crystal this 30% sale, my crystal now so the economy is better than before, at least, since I never reach 2M before. I only buy mu in 30% sale, I buy hull/turret/augment/drone only in 50% sale.

I think those turrets which having 2 fire mode, it is easy to add in special mode, like Shaft snipe, Guass and Stricker salvo. yeah, my gauss emp will OP again in seige with AP titan.

I like purple container reward better, I already have some animated paint, now animated paint is so common and lost its appeal comparing when it just come out, like Flow

switch to gauss, one shot light hull most time, my profile said I am long time railgun user, 730 hours (that not include time before the profile feature) railgun; 730 hour = 1 551 000 xp; gauss: 121 hour = 1 285 000 xp; 1 hour gauss about = 6 hour railgun --- follow the tanki changes, you will enjoy it better -- I change from tanki pc to tanki mobile, better rewards I change from hornet to viking to titan to crusade and other hovering hulls, so much better OD and ctrl they introduce drone, just get best drones, booster, defender, saboteur.. they introduce augment, just get OP augment, (get best from crystal augment) they introduce hull immu, just get hull immu, (get best from free challenge))

dont count on container, count on luck, as even with one container, you can get top prize. just the chance is low, so far even other immu you can get from container is rare as well, as they are mixing inside those purple color rewards out from purple rewards: 100+ paints + 100 shot effect + near 50 turret augment + 70 hull immu augment. even I already clear and own almost all turret augment, I only manage get 6 of all those container since they are included

I have resistance augment (burn and cold) for all hulls (except 50% cold for hopper and 50% heat for crusade) , 17 from free containers, 1 from I bought for hull immu, so far I got 6 from free containers, 1 from ultra container heat immu/cold immu for titan, heavy weight for dict, cold/emp for mamthon, emp for hornet, lightweight crusade from challenge, I got AP viking, AP titan, lightweight hopper, cold hunter, heavy hunter

shards contribute half of my crystal income in current tanki economy. (average 100k per week I got from shard containers) shards give a hope of owning hull augment for free player shards contribute most of free supplies to make free player competitive in legend battles. shards make the game not boring (mission and done) as every day you get some surprise to wait for. ---- so without shards, free player will be in a tougher situation, facing strong buyer with hull augment, better equipment, and infinite supplies, then, why continue playing as free player once reaching legends

I agree with the study of all parts, and since the day I read your article, I waited till last day of that challenge, so I can get a peak what is included in next challenge, just 10 hour before next challenge, I found next challenge will give AP freeze, so I waited for next challenge instead of spending my only 500 coin on AP magnum. but before the end of AP freeze challenge, I found the next next challenge is EMP smoky and AP titan, I give up the AP freeze challenge. yes, challenge is getting better and better, so best to peak what is coming next challenge before buy current challenge, especially you are save coins by free weekly container, which takes 2 month. of course, since I know I need AP titan, I bought it right away. and also because by skipping so many previous challenge, I already saved up extra 500 coin for future potential "best" challenge rewards.

actually I finish 3000 in first 10 days mostly, due to ultra weekend mission and the stars from battle. so I dont need to play for 4 days.

since last update, enemy will drop flag once hit by the stun round. I have this augment and it is true. any way, great article, I have mostly all of smoky augment (except rubber and explosive ones), thanks to ultra weekend container and challenge. I use cryo round since first batch of smoky argument, especially in CTF, to slow flager. now I use Paralyzing Rounds instead in assault mode since now it can make people drop flag (super OP now) it is quite easy to land 5 shot to stun in open areas in general, I agree with autocannon and Incendiary Rounds, in pure damage output, they are the best in TDM for damage output, while Incendiary Rounds for distance shots and autocannon for close and medium fight. smoky is best on mobile version, since you can have auto-aim and auto-fire turn on, which make you almost never miss a shot and always firing even enemy in sight for half a sec, there is no way to achieve that precision and speed and accuracy in PC version with human eye sight and hands.

Bouncing Vulcan can draw a magic web if you have a bouncing circle, no one can enter

The worst is you mistake it as finished, since the green bar is full, you thought you are clicking "claim reward", but it is actually "Change mission", and it cost 999 crystal, now you have to redo that mission

I dont even bother to login my low rank account to collect shard container and reset for its passive accumulation. too much pain at high rank ready for the 9999 upgrades and 9999 battles can't go through the pain of low ranks these day comparing to old time, when supply is the only thing make difference. now, there are augment, drone, 50% combo of all protection and OP ODs

need 3 more

Use wasp bomb, i caught 2 w dict hull and mine the drop zone w saboteur drone. or use viking OD to clear all drone around once you see the mark

Yes, container has no ap for old hulls

In challenge 2-3 month ago, check tanki wiki

I got viking AP in challenge gold reward month back, now i bought titan AP for this month gold reward. i think AP is most super powerful one, as it save you from hornet OD and many AP effect, hover hull are added later, so they all in, and old hull they keep old way

after AP viking, this is 3rd time I buy a battle pass

After this challenge, AP magnum and AP freeze in last 2 challenge will cry hard on seige mode. titan dome is unbreakable now, seige will be owned by titans

I got heat immu for titan from normal container. Pretty cool w vulcan, fire from start to finish, dome after dome, no stop no death

my life is complete?

I use EMP gauss (EMP effect) on crusade (AP n Freeze effect OD) most time, When i see a titan on defender drone under dome, i normally 1. emp off his supply and defender drone 2. Crusade OD to apply AP effect and freeze him (w DD w Booster drone active for 3s) 3. Follow up in 1.5sec again w Gauss salvo (booster drone still active) one combo already give 3 effect. or recent popular AP freeze from challenge, w hunter 1. Hunter OD apply EMP, Stun effect to off your supply and stop you for 3s 2. AP freeze to AP through your protection module w booster drone and freeze you when 3s over .That is 4 effects in one combo another popular is IB vulcan (burn) on crusade (AP, freeze) or hopper (stun, burn) Or emp guass hopper or rail effect w hopper are common in buyers one combo is enough to get in a tough immu situation.

Even 50% not enough , there is only 3 slot IB vulcan is everywhere due to recent challenges, AP magnum and AP freeze is super common rail and smoky is common recent due to critical damage update, hammer/thunder/rico also counter, so i just give up on changing protection module
