Drones

[LuckyLuke 111]

I have 2 questions:

1. Which is the high effective drone which consumes less battery (leave out Brutus since  it does not consume battery)

2. I got Crisis recently . Started upgrading it. How much supplies will it eat? I heard that you need to be super rich to use Crisis else you will land in crisis.

All drones consume 1 battery per minute.

However, soon the developers are removing all but 8 drones. The remaining ones are as follows:
Mechanic, Defender, Booster, Trickster, Saboteur, Brutus, Hyperion, and Crisis.

It consumes 3 supplies every time you switch. That means it's technically possible for it to consume 3 supplies every 0.5 seconds if you rapidly switch constantly.

Thanks. Sad to know that Tanki is removing most of the important drones. I got to upgrade my equipment's quickly and able to scaleup my level only with supplier done.

But out of these 7 drones which consumes less supplies (leaving brutus).  For Crisis, you say that it consumes 3 supplies every 0.5 seconds. Is it automatic or manual switch? If is press key for booster, will other supplies also get used with that? Not sure how it works. Since now only started to upgrade. not able to try now...

@luckylook500, are you happy with the answer you received ?

If you switch to MAXIMUM DAMAGE it'll take away 3 double damage (but will not touch repair, armour etc.) 
If you switch to MAXIMUM SPEED it'll take away 3 speed boost (but will not touch double damage, armour etc.)

At Level 20 you can switch Crisis modes every 0.5 seconds (not recommended even if you had infinite supplies) 

The only thing Crisis consumes automatically is batteries at a rate 1/min.

These are the drones that consume the most supplies (in order)   

Undisputed 1st when using its "full potential": Crisis                (You can spend up to 22,320 + 60 battery supplies IN JUST ONE HOUR)

1st place not by a long shot if you use "Supply saving mode": Crisis     (How many supplies you spend depends on how many switches you do)

Close 2nd: Hyperion                 (You can spend up to 2160 + 60 battery supplies per HOUR)

Places 3-7: Mechanic, Defender, Booster, Trickster, Saboteur.     (You can spend up to 840 supplies + 60 battery per HOUR)

8th place: Brutus.        (You can spend up to 600 supplies per HOUR)

Thank you. I was thinking of using Hyperion but it is alarming to know that it also consumes lots of supplies in an hour. In case of Crisis, not sure what it means switching is like...

Keep in mind my Supplies/hour calculations were made with the player USING ABSOLUTELY AS MANY SUPPLIES AS POSSIBLE without dying so no time is wasted on respawns etc. the numbers are very unrealistic. Though Hyperion's 2k per hour is not that far away from reality. It's probably like 1.3k for your average Joe. 

I recommend you using Defender/Trickster and seeing how your supplies are doing. If your armour/speed stays at around the same number you can use Hyperion with confidence.

By Crisis switches i mean... 

Example: You're using MAXIMUM SPEED (+70% Speed instead of 30% you get from normal speed boost) mode then you see someone is about to shoot you so you switch to MAXIMUM ARMOUR mode. Your MAXIMUM SPEED gets removed and you're now using MAXIMUM ARMOUR (Triple armour). Because with Crisis you can ONLY USE ONE MODE AT THE TIME. You can't use MAXIMUM SPEED and MAXIMUM ARMOUR at the same time.

Another Example: You're using Shaft and Titan with Crisis MAXIMUM ARMOUR mode you're sniping and you see an enemy before you shoot at him you switch to MAXIMUM DAMAGE (Triple Damage) then after you kill your enemy you switch to MAXIMUM ARMOUR again.

That what switching with Crisis means.

Hyperion doesn't use up supplies as much.

It consumes 1 extra per use, and it reduces the cooldown of EVERY supply INCLUDING mines and Repair, so you're getting your full money's worth.

Note that Crisis doesn't provide triple damage or armor. That's a bit misleading.

Hi

I've used Hyperion as my only drone (apart from Brutus) on some accs and it won't use up your supplies if you only play to complete daily / weekly / special missions

The containers you get from these missions + buying the shop container and x30 supplies in the shop every day will give you enough supplies to use Hyperion as a casual player

Hyperion is close to supply neutral for casual players: missions will replace the supplies you use, but your total amount of supplies won't go up or down much

On my accounts with Trickster and Hyperion, I have a lot less speed boosts than the other supplies because Trickster uses x3 speed boost v Hyperion only using x2

With Defender and Booster it would be the same, but with boosted armor and damage instead

Crisis eats up supplies v Trickster / Defender / Booster because you can only use one speed boost / boosted armor / boosted damage +2 extra every 30 seconds after you respawn with those drones v Crisis using a supply + 2 extra every time you switch between super boosted speed / armor / damage, and you can switch every 0.5 seconds with a fully upgraded Crisis

(If I could only have one drone, I would choose Hyperion)

Thank you. I am upgrading hyperion too now. May be I should stick to hyperion instead of crisis. I have defender at max level

They shoudl reduce cost of batteries to 150 crys, and for all drones only 1 supply used; with these JAMMER/EMP you can waste way too many supplies cause this would rebalance drones by making it more affordable for more players to use crisis...etc

Cause buyers have too much of an upper hand...the game would be more fun in 1 way as there would be more competition, since this

would help increase the higher end drone player population, I think.

I don't spend much on the game. I am not a paid player. I finish my daily missions and thats all. I get 100 tankioins after completion of missions. I got some tankoins when tanki compensated during the crash and using it for battle pass

Ok. Thanks

 

@cybernite True. I agree. Not only that, they should give some meaningful gifts in containers instead of some crap paints. If some one wants paints let them buy it. Getting lots of paints and does not use it. They can also phase out some of the useless augments and some augments which creates imbalance in the game.
