hints

Hello there, I would first like to say thank you for reading what I have to say. This is my very first guide for any kind of build really. So please, read on and have fun.

• Note * : I will refer the numbers in parentheses are (str total, dex total)

Strength Bots

Everyone likes them.

• Quick fights
• Quick Trains
• Nice armors
• Hit Harder
• Can have min con or even really high con.

I have always really enjoyed the 2:1 path, where strength is twice dexterity or very close. The most common of the 2:1 path is answerers (237,102). They are very good at level 80-100. Just stack on the con after 80 and keep on fighting. After answerers, the most common path is this

• Level 80 Answerers (237,102)
• Level 90 Dazzlers (270,110
• Level 105 Sapphire Blades (283,122)
• Level 110 Theorist Dazzlers (293,143)
• Level 115 Power Answerers (308,145)
• Level 120 Satanic Dazzlers (233,146)
• Level 130 Excaliburs (350,150)

The 3:1 Path is very strong at lower levels and around level 130. You have

• Level 50 Frozen Blades (150,50)
• Level 55 Fosterages (196,61)
• Level 85 Conquest maces (282,85)
• Level 105 Plasma Swords (312,103)
• Level 120 Evaporators (350,110)
• Level 125 Whiplash Mauls (365,120)
• Level 130 Blaster Mauls (390,130)
• Level 140 Doom Mauls (420,140)

Now, onto the “common” 4:1 path. Things like Souls harvesters and power mauls.

• Level 120 Necromancers (378,81)
• Level 132 Soul Harvesters (420,85)
• Level 135 Assault Maces (437,94)
• Level 140 Power Mauls (455,117)

Now, you say “Where are Conquerers, Equalizers, Megas, Blackrazors etc?”. Hold on. Hold on. Those types of weapons are in between a set path. “Paths” are just guides. My levels I have are mostly right, but some may be off by 1-2 levels.

Armors / Armours.

I say it both ways honestly. Anyway, armors can make or break you. If you use to less of defense, you will get hit way to hard and die to quick. If you use just defense armors with no stats that add to your total stats, you will usually get beat up quite often. It all depends. I like to go with the formula : 15 Defense points = 1 Point in 1 con. Or 10 HP. At very low levels, armors are crucial if you want to even have a decent ratio. In the higher levels say 180+, the defense you get overrides the 2 or 3 stat points you may get from a weaker armor.

Here is just a basic “group” of armors that should be used for any “Goal”.

Nice, helpful post Alan, gj.

 

just what i needed

tnx mate

 

Thanks for the "tips". Really helpful

 

Frozen blades are 158, 50 not 150, 50.

 

There are a few hiccups on this. For example he used the incorrect number for Evaps, which are 345-110, but stated 350-110 because most people would add the extra 5 str to get Guardian Angel, yet he stated 312-103 for plasma swords when everyone I know would add 3 to str and go 315-103 to get Shade Armlet Helmet.

The thing you need to gather from this is the more focused hints, such as armor suggestions for your str range and note that the weapon suggestions aren't precise but close enough.

You need to still do some work on your own and figure out when and how you want to get to the paths he suggested which from first glance are accurate.

Use this guide along with The Bot's Build Calculator and you should be just fine in this community.

Good write up Alan.

very nice, although I don't totally agree with the low level weapons

 

Thanks for the guide :) I might try building a str bot now :D

 

what about con at 2:1 ratio ?

 

Take answerers for instance.

• Level 80
• Str : 200 base
• Dex : 94 base
• Con : 52 base

So, con is about 1/4 of str or 1/2 of dex.

 

ok ty
