    Sometimes the game will show me an incorrect report after a match - it may show the name of someone I'd played earlier, it may show me an incorrect number of wins for my opponent, it may show me them getting a +1 when I won.

    However, it always shows the right score increase, and it's always my wins total that goes up if I win - even if the +1 is against their name, not mine. So no matter what the stats screen says, you should be getting the points/wins/loses you're supposed to.

    TheMaster42 reckons these things are a sign that the connection between you and your opponent was broken before the round ended. I'm not entirely certain that disconnects are the only cause, because in some cases the opponent sends me a rematch request and we successfully play another game (and it's not against AI - player tactics are obvious to spot).

    But odds are it's the most common cause.

    Thanks man, very helpful. :)

    I would say Claw + Utan as well.

    It's kind of an odd question to ask because it's not actually too relevant. For deck selection, you need to look at more like 5 non-boss units and see how they synergize. If you're asking what order to produce units at the beginning, that depends on your deck and what the enemy might lead. Utan > Claw > Utan might be the answer, but that loses to Donkey > Utan, for example.


    Awesome, this is so perfect, thank you. You're brilliant. I had forgotten about the new POW bonuses, too.


    All kinds of wonky stuff happens at the victory screen. Sometimes it's a DC, but as BombBloke pointed out sometimes it's not.

    On the plus side, I've never seen the game cheat my win, or give me a loss I didn't deserve, so I wouldn't sweat it.

    I assume you're excluding those times your base just blew up without any enemy units being anywhere near it.

    I just got hit with two such games in a row. :mad:

    It happens when opponents quited the game before it ends. But you gained the win necessary. So it;s like a screen display error rather than a actual bug

    How dare patrol robot is buffed......doesn't SNK know stacking patrol robots equals to win? (well unless your rival is stacking too)

    They're not the "win" card you might think them to be; I've demolished piles of the things and gone on to victory, prior to having them myself. A lot of other units amount to higher threat levels when piled together, some with cheaper AP/cooldown costs.

    (Ideally you want to stack a few different unit types at once, though, and the Patrol Robot certainly makes the short-list.)

    Though it wouldn't surprise me if SNK is following the strategy of making certain units "obvious buys", with the intention of later nerfing them or buffing others - to encourage players to buy as many units as possible over time, thereby also encouraging them to spend actual money on the game. Fair enough, I suppose.

    As long as I put enough for walling, patrol robot is the easiest plus most powerful unit to stack. Hazmat and Utan just die at MSA unless you have luck with a advancing Claw. But patrol robot can stay behind Claw and Morden Robot, that makes a whole difference.
    I think like half of my battles just end with constant sending Claw, Morden Robot, Donkey & Patrol Robot.

    It just doesn't make sense of forcing more people to buy a unit that a lot already bought it.

    Patrol Robots are also quite suspectable to MSAs, and take a lot longer to replace if they go.

    For example, I consider a pile of Utans together with Martians (easy to put out together due to cheap costs and cooldowns) to be a much bigger threat than a single pile of Patrol Robots (slow to put out due to higher costs and cooldowns).

    Hi Bomb Bloke.

    ;)

    Sorry had to join just to say it was so weird to play (and lose!) against you just now.

    Before you think I'm some creepo let me say I have been somewhat following this thread since it's inception purely as a casual gamer who downloaded the game.

    Not really my thing I like shoot em ups and driving games ? :)

    Theres 15 million people playing this game and I played you . Odds are somewhat high methinks.

    Anyhoo I totally play for fun; I suck actually. So recently I made a almost all aerial deck. That lost automatically lol. So I've been trying to build a wall start/finish aerial deck just to annoy people.

    ;)

    Point (finally right?) is was crazy to play someone I've been reading posts about lately.

    Peace.

    I like readin here you guys strategy; I possess no strategic skills whatsoever but here I am anyway.

    Oh and my username on the game is Matt Vail.

    So if any of ya come up on me know I truly play for fun.



    Matt

    15mill who downloaded it, minus those who don't play it, minus those who don't play it online, minus those who don't play in my time zone's waking hours, minus those who play only 2v2, minus those who are unlikely to be picked for me due to too great a difference in rank... Better odds than you think, so we'll probably run into each other again. ;)

    In fact it's not terribly uncommon that I'll face the same guy two or three times over the space of a half hour or so. How often I'll actually notice this depends a lot on how distinctive their names are.

    Heh. You've probably noticed what Claw Units and Clone Fios do to flyers, then. The best defence is a good offence, I say!

    Well I still think it's odd to play you BB.
    :p

    ;)

    And thank you Joseph I will figure out the friend thing here soon.

    BB has forced me to think strategically and change sh!t up here.

    hey bro, its ok if we did not get to battle each other.. the group im telling you about(on gmail hangouts) usually just shares infos and stuff.. you can read our conversations about MSD stuff that could benefit everyone:)
    edit:but even thou you decline its still cool, im usually active in this forum anyways :) (maybe once or twice post a day?)..

    Ralf, for me. Setting large groups of enemy units on fire is inherently fun, as is ramming him into the thick of things with his special.

    mad

    game begins to enrage :mad:. Of the approximately ten matches 7-8 - hackers with double call units and clearly improved to the maximum units. Feel myself as a clown for the amusement of schoolboys-hackers. SNK could not initially take care of protecting against hackers, and when it turned out that if the game removed, erased everything, down to real money invested for a medal! F*ck you, SNK! F*ck you, hackers! :mad:

    Finally managed to record a gameplay video :D
    Rival using typical 10 choices of units. So I guess I got some good control to win finally....
    Patrol Robot owns the game, in conclusion...

    Still trying decks without Leona/Utan. Surprisingly removing Morden Robot didn't weaken the deck:eek:


    Edit:
    Another continuous play. 22wins + 3 losses to the same player...

    R-Shobu or Slug Flyer? Which of these aerial units is the best?
