What to buy? Which is better?

Let me know your thoughts and opinions. Thanks!

I would go for Stun Immunity/ Fire Immunity.  Depending on your playing style, Stun Immunity would be great if you like to go for the ball or flag in Rugby, CTF and Assault.  Fire Immunity is versatile since you don't need to worry about after burn (Firebird/ Vulcan/ Smoky).

 

EMP is next to useless because you can activate one of the supplies again after a few seconds.  Unless you are staying in an open area, you can always hide behind a wall corner during the cool down time.

So, by careful saving up, I have accumulated 20,000 crystals. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do with them.

Therefore, I put the question to you, the Forum Community: How should I spend my crystals?

Keep in mind that I am currently at Warrant Officer 2; the things you are suggesting must be available at or near that rank.

If can manage to save up to 50 k then on tankers day sales u can purchase some nice combo and later its alteration

Unfortunately, alterations are now 245,000 crystals each. That being said, I do get the general idea of what you're saying. Thanks.

You should concentrate on 1-2 turrets and 1 medium hull (Hunter/Dictator/Viking) instead of upgrading multiple items.

And what's your favor playing style?  Close combat or camping?

@TWICE I don't really use either much; I generally go on TJR with Gauss + Aries. That being said, when  not on TJR I take out a Vulcan + Dictator, which I use for close combat (it's surprisingly effective).

I got 2 augaments for striker, cyclone and remote roket explosives. I personally like cyclone better but which 1 do u think i should use?

[AncientFire 1,894]

cyclone is the better one

Uranium rules the damn game

[TheCongoSpider 8,942]

Remote Rocket Explosives is much better. Outside of Juggernaut and probably Siege, Cyclone isn't practical. Remote Rocket Explosives can be used anywhere and gives far better gameplay when mastered.

Assuming this tankers' day offers includes 50% off on turrets and hulls, should I buy gauss-dicator mk7 or hornet-gauss mk7?

[Okami 3,041]

Tankers' Day is right around the corner. Should I go for Smoky Mk7 or Ricochet Mk7? Both are Mk6 right now.

I'm leaning towards Ricochet, as it's really fun and I have two augments that are good and shake up the play-style (Minus-Field Stablilization and Plasma Torch).
The Smoky augments I have are Assault Rounds ^{(not super useful)}, High-Precision Aiming System ^{(good but not great)}, and Incendiary Rounds ^{(not as useful as it used to be. I'm expecting a lot of Heat Resistances after the sale)}

Like I said, I'm leaning towards Ricochet, but I'm all ears for outside opinions.

Go for Ricochet; works best with MFS and torch is a great addition in meelee-combat. Aquires some skill to use optimally, but gameplay is lots of fun. 

Smoky is nothing extraordinary, plus it resembles thunder too much which you already have. Assault Rounds is not amazing, but can be fun; HPAS is basically Thunder with critical damage and no splash, but you already have Thunder so you aren't gaining anything new. Incendiary Rounds can easily be countered by hull-augments, plus it loses critical damage.

I got this kit, should I buy it or wait for sales so I can buy prots instead? If not I can always reset the showcase, although it's just throwing tankoins to get a low chance at that luck again.

(Yes, it's the Shaft Titan kit)

If it's for the account in your profile (Mk5 Shaft, Mk1 Titan, Mk3 Eagle), then it might be cheaper than buying Mk6 Shaft / Titan / Eagle in a 50% sale

I just did the maths and I think Mk6 Shaft + Mk2-to-6 Titan + Mk4-to-6 Eagle would cost you 243 500 crystals with 50% off, and you can't buy the Mk6 Eagle module until Major General

My take on 50% sales versus kits is buying or upgrading Modules for turrets that I'm never going to use in 50% sales and buying kits if I want another hull and / or turret

If you use Shaft often (and Eagle too) and really want Titan, then the kit might be better

Hi, I know that @At_Shin gave me advice on what to buy but this is the final time I will be asking questions regarding the sale.

 

I have got 520k crystals and I'm thinking of getting 1 of these: Hammer (with an augment, also list what augment), Vulcan or Firebird (with Incendiary Mix). I am also getting Light Capacitors augment for Shaft. Which one should I get?

 

I chose Hammer because it has a lack of prots and can be quite OP (with an augment, list the augment below), chose Vulcan because it's one of the more OP things in the game right now, and chose Firebird with Incendiary mix because it can do insane amounts of damage. I don't have enough for all of these. I currently have 259,500 crystals in "expenses" (what I will pay for equipment). I don't want you guys to choose what to buy for me, I just want to clarify what your recommendations are. 

 

(Sorry for the ping, At_Shin)

Instead of buying every turrets and hulls, focus on one and only one combo and upgrade them, your GS is quite low in your rank. Soon you will level up to general (thanks the Devs for the x4 XP) and Legends with 9k GS will start to pop up quite often.

eh you're right I might just do Viking Smoky

In case you really want an augment, you many have a look at Autocannon for Smoky, if you haven't bought it.

@Towns You need to spend big if you want to get Hammer, and its augments are not OP at the moment.  You better get it from a product kit if you really like Hammer.

 

@Aegis  Autocannon (↑ firing rate ↓ damage) doesn't match Viking's OD (↑ firing rate ↑ damage for 7 sec).  Autocannon should work better with Hunter or Titan.

 

I agree with @At_Shin .  If you want to stick with Viking, you can get MK6 Firebird and the incendiary mix (or keep using the normal smoky).

Gonna go in a completely opposite direction compared to @At_Shin

1)Don't buy too much equipment. 2 turrets 2 hulls will do. I keep it to 1 turret 1 hull. If I want to play with some other combo, I make a new account. 

2) Ideally, you should be getting enough supplies from missions and containers. So don't spend crystals on supplies.

3) Don't play too much. Play till missions are done. I aim for 10 missions per week.

4)Buy alteration during 50% sales only.

5) Micro upgrade during sales only.

I don't think this is a good Idea. Having multiple turrets is better than one, so you can get used to all of them. Otherwise, you would have too much accounts. Also, MUing and buying alterations during sales only means waiting for a very long time.

Depends on how you want to play the game. I have no interest in reaching legend. I play to have fun. IMO, ranking up doesn't change anything, we still have the same turrets and hulls at higher ranks, and now even augments are available at every rank.

And yes, you are right about having many accounts, I have an account for almost every turret. 

 

If your main goal is to reach legend fast, and play competitively, my method will not work. But now with the 4x exp boost, I don't think having many turrets and hulls is actually a good idea.

[Cleric 1,385]

@lolboss968 See @coconuttree profile? Both of you are in the same rank. He has MK5 of one single combo, which I believe that is the only combo he is gonna to use, while you have MK3 on everything. He has a 5k GS while you have 2k. What do you think will happen if you meet him in a match? He will destroy you, consistently. This is also the reason why you are getting destroyed so many times.

 

Unless you are planning to pay a lot in this game, just stick to one single combo so that you can keep up with other players.

If you are a F2P player or just planning to spend a little, just create a new account. You have wasted so many crystals on equipment that you rarely use. This account is doomed for the kind of players I mentioned.

 

Don't copy everything YouTubers did. Some of them are using press accounts. Press accounts are given by the Devs for the purpose of promoting the game. The player don't have to spend a penny on it because it got mountain of crystals by default (I'm not joking, some Youtubers actually mentioned that in the YouTube comment section)

Just for clarity: I got lucky in the mk update. If i used this strategy in the mk system only, i would have mk4, not mk5. I would have maxed the mk4 by now, though.
