questions

Hi all, I'm new to this game and I wanted to ask what is a good build for beginner, what level and weapons I should aim for? And is high level very important in this game? Thanks :)

What's a good build? Well there's lots of them. If you want an easy build I'd say you should go for scarab blades or mauls or a dex weapon and slowly gain armors/level slowly off of other bots/train bots. If you want a bit more advanced build I'd say go for blood swords/war clubs/frozen blades. After that there's tons of builds you can choose from including favorites like answerers, frostreavers, gold katanas and tons of more advanced weaponry. It all just depends on what route you wish to go, balanced, strength or dexterity. Strength is quick kills but little accuracy/avoid, balanced is medium damage and medium accuracy/avoid and dexterity is low damage and high accuracy/avoid.

High levels are good but they take quite some time to get unless you know the right people or can find bots with good ratios and bad weaponry and gain easy xp off them. We call those ratio whores. There's also the extra ingredient to leveling to high levels: int. Intelligence adds extra xp gain to every bot/train bot you attack. But there is such a thing as too much int. The general guide is if you want a fighter build go for 10 int (default), if you want a slight int bot go for about 30 int and if you want to make an int bot go for 45 int and add more later on.

Hope that wall of text isn't too dense.

It's a great guide Zal. congrats :)

Thanks a lot Zal ! Very helpful answer, I'm going to get scarab blades soon and then try to stick on balanced build with around 30 Int :)
