    Every time i beat that "thing" is a good day for me! :) I HATE Jupiter King

    I found that Leona is the most effective of the ikari team against him

    Balance every unit is good... is for the sake of the game and fairness, Now you have to send Trevor with support :) thats makes the game more interesting

    One thing I've been finding lately is the use of Hopper Mecha combined with the Slug for the early game. Those units combined with Trevor, Clark, Samurai Tank or others have been giving me a real run for my money.

    I don't know how I feel about the air units yet. I've been trying out the Slugcopter so far. I'm trying to determine how much of a significant difference it makes compared to other similarly or cheaper priced units.

    Sorry, I meant the Big Snail. I don't own the unit myself so I wasn't sure of the name without reference.

    Decided to fast forward time a bit to see what the daily special unlocks are. Couldn't wait.

    Started off with Fat Fio (Thurs)
    Then Slug Copter (Fri)
    Flying Tara (90 AP, 1-drop bomber, Sat)
    Samurai Planes (bugged, 200 AP, no unit icon, cannot be upgraded, Sun)
    Fat Marco (Mon)
    Fat Tarma (Tues)
    Fat Eri (Wed)

    wow... I dont know if im just lucky or what, I felt invincible lately...
    I won 65 straight matches after my last loss( with mixed competition ) and still going :)
    I finally bought that iron nokama mk. II , but I found him boarderline fragile...
    his suitable for offensive back up I guess, must be deployed AFTER you summoned your main tanking units...

    Yeah, Iron Nokama Mk 2 seems to be faster and the special has a longer range since they're missiles. Not too sure if the missile total damage is stronger than the flamethrower though.

    What about those giant crabs? Are they useful? I want to buy one but I can't decide which one.... I have noticed that they are of the few units that can't be pushed backwards...

    I don't know if it was a glitch, a fluke, or just plain ability, but yesterday my Metal Slug Attack was pushed back by the dash of a Giant Caterpillar. So, instead of exploding at the front line, as it was ramming the caterpillar, in a split moment before the explosion, the caterpillar dashed towards my base and pushed the slug back into my troops, where it took out my troops.
    I'm not sure if usually the explosion is harmful to one's own units, the damage could have been caused by the caterpillar itself. But I hadn't encountered a push-back metal slug explosion before!

    I think your right mate, and here are the things I noticed too:

    The red nokama has higher hp(+1000 I think) and has burst short special flame thrower(high dmg in short time) good for taking out enemy units quick but in short distance=High hp+offensive unit..costs more ap thou (600ap)

    Nokama mk.II has slightly less hp(-1000?) and has a long consecutive shot special( dispursed damage of a total of 6 missiles,long distance attack but the missiles are kinda slow) A more mobile than the red one,costs 520ap=Has speed+offensive (support?) unit

    I have alot of tanking units already so I chose Mk.II

    the red one is the fastest ohumein conga but sacrifices hp.
    the brown one has the highest hp and I think damage too but the slowest.
    finaly the green one is the middle child, decent speed and decent hp.

    hey..that happened to me too, a couple of times actually.. (and sometimes when I kill enemy units they keep on coming back on the spot, or moving backward or forward)
    .
    .
    thats also my technique(to counter enemy MSA by the caterpillars special)
    .
    in my opinion your own MSA attack cannot hurt your own units,the raming of the catterpillar is quite deadly(total destruction infront of it)...and connection issues maybe the problem, the transfer of data from your device and to your opponent delayed(lag?)..I stream music while playing metal slug so i lag sometimes :)

    bro maybe what happen is you and your opponent exactly tap your msa and his caterpillar at the same time. i hate that caterpillar too everytime i release my jupiter king and it dashed towards my base.

    I've been experiencing the same problem every now and then, but it was before the update for me and still happens every now and then when I lost a match.

    I just hate this new update. I just keep loosing and loosing. Even if I have over 800 wins.

    I want to make I new deck and I can´t decide, which 3 early game units to pick.
    I thought of using:
    LV Armor
    Slugnoid Snail
    Trevor
    Hopper Mecha
    Samurai Tanks
    Clark

    Does anyone have a good suggestion?
