Guide for Level 20 to 25

Introduction
Hi guys! I'm Sky Avenger 2.0, and if you have any problems when leveling up to 20, never fear! This is what this page is about! All your questions will be answered. However, you should read this whole thing carefully before doing anything. Hope this helps you!

Just leveled up to 20?
So, you've just leveled up to 20? Congratulations! If you have problems with your robots, eg. Too weak or not enough damage dealt, then follow these steps.

1. The best robots for your level right now is the Griffin, Leo and Natasha. You will need at least two of these robots to deal with other robots.

2. Make sure all your robots are level 6 and all your weapons level 5. Resist the temptation to speed up upgrades. This will waste your gold. However, do not upgrade these weapons and robots, as they are a waste of silver:

Robots:

Destrier

Cossack

Vityaz

Golem (removed)

Boa (removed)

Weapons:

Nashorn

Gekko (unless you have more than one)

Noricum (unless using on Natasha with Zenits)

Zenit (unless using on Natasha with Noricums)

All of the rules above followed?
After you have done all that, you might have a question: “What do I put on my Griffin, Natasha or Leo?” This can be found on the wiki. But if you're not bothered, here are some suggestions (more advised setups are listed here):

Workshop 2.0
This is a production line unlocked at level 20. You can make components with the choice of taking one day to produce, or taking three days to produce. The one day pack is more cost and time efficient, whereas the three day pack gives you more components in one go. If you are active, use the one day pack. If you are are not, then use the three day pack.

When you start, you don't want to produce expensive stuff like Spectres or Shocktrains right away, as it will drain your silver a lot and cost a lot to upgrade. The most efficient ones to produce are Halo or Shredder, or other that has less range than 600 meters (an Arbalest, for example, has a range of 1100 meters, thus it is not advised to produce). You should start producing straight away, and only produce ONE item. Workshop will give you silver every level, the most being 3,300,300 silver.

Bored of old robots?
If you are bored of your rusty old Leos, Griffins or Natashas, why not try out the mid-league robots? Use silver to buy Fujins and Docs and test your luck by opening Silver Chests. You can get the Raijin, Rhino and many others from the Silver Chest. Here are some suggestions:

Note: all suggestions are silver or gold based. For more info, check here or go to specific robot page.

How to deal with normal bots
It may be hard to deal with these bots, so here are some strategies to overcome them.

Griffin
When fighting a Griffin, if you are using Orkan or Tulumbas, make sure the enemy jumps first. Wait until he lands, because if you use your rockets, its jump will dodge most of your rockets, and it will then kill you afterwards. Also, when it jumps, it has a split second of landing lag (where it can't move) which will render him vulnerable. If you want to shoot it during a jump, aim a little in front of it as it jumps. Weapons that hit instantly, like Punisher or Taran, will be effective against a Griffin. Its jump won't save it from these weapons. Be aware that other users can execute this manoeuvre against you, so your Griffin will quickly become obsolete if too many people use this against you.

Leo
Leo is a very tough robot. It has a LOT of health, and it is still used up to Expert League. When fighting a Leo, they usually have a Thunder and three Pinatas on it. So don't stay too close to it, or you will get annihilated in a matter of seconds. Try to use some mid-range weapons, like Pin-Tulumbas or Molot T-Molot or stay in cover and fire Spirals or Aphids. This way you can drain its health very effectively. There's no other setup that will kill Leo quickly except for high DPS weapon setups like Orkan-Pinata or Taran-Magnum. Or you can simply outbrawl it with a Thunder Raijin or Thunder Carnage.

Natasha
When dealing with Natasha, try to use shotguns or machine guns because it has a large frame, which is a convenience for both weapon types. You can also use Molot to hit Natasha from a safe distance. Enemy Natasha is usually equipped with Thunder with Pinata. Don't underestimate the Natasha at close range. As your league goes up, you might see some with Trident and Pin. It's a very powerful mid-ranger. You will be heavily damaged if you are not using Dash bots (they cost a LOT) or something with energy shield or you are using a long range setup.

Fujin
Fujin has the strongest energy shield in the game. To kill a Fujin, you have to use Energy weapons because Fujin itself doesn't have a lot of health. If you don't have energy weapons, try to kill it with some ally help. Shotguns (Thunder, Storm, Gust) is the best choice because energy shield absorb most, if not all bullets from the shotguns even from 500m distance, which will drain its energy shield very fast. After draining the shield, allies with high burst damage weapons will take care of the rest of Fujin!

How to deal with Component robots
As you progress up the levels, you might find that you start fighting more OP bots with abilities like Dash or Glide. These can only be acquired with a large amount of gold or 10000 Components, of which can be produced via Workshop 2.0. In order to cope with these robots, you will need:

At least 2 Orkans, 2 Tarans and 2 Magnums, and robots to put them on. Suggestions include:

Galahad

Fujin

Doc

Rogatka

Gareth

Griffin

Rhino

...

These are the Component robots you may need to deal with:

Lancelot
This bulky robot is a dangerous and intimidating threat. And what makes it worse is that it has the ability to mount an Ancile, truly making it an unstoppable fortress capable of blocking all kinds of projectiles, except for Ember which is a special weapon. The only downside of the Lancelot is the lack of mobility, even with its Rush ability and a very large surface area. When facing a Lancelot, try to use Orkans to quickly eliminate it, as prolonging the battle will only make your chances of survival slimmer. Using Punisher at a far distance is also a good idea, due to the fact that the bullet spread can hit Lancelot’s unprotected area, weakening the bot in the process. It is also good at knocking out the Ancile really quickly. For mid-range support, Tulumbas and Pin can weaken the bot and its physical shields at the same time. However, if the enemy proves to be a bit difficult to tackle with, you can easily run away or team up with some allies to kill it.

Kumiho
To deal with this, fire off a few shots to make it dash, then when it is out of dashes (it only has two, with a 10 second reload) unleash your full salvo upon it. It is frighteningly fast, so be careful as you might find that you are the one getting killed. Unfortunately, it only has two medium weapons, so therefore cannot usually win against robots of more firepower and health. However, do not underestimate this.

Haechi
To deal with this, as it is very powerful boasting three mediums, shoot at its energy shield to take it out. It is a weak shield so do not worry. Plasma weapons will go through the shield. Stay out of its range, but if you can't, do not pick a fight with it. Carefully take out its shield, and when it is distracted, quickly attempt to take out it without getting noticed. Be careful, this bot can swoop out and kill you instantly without you even noticing.

Bulgasari
To deal with this, use its slowness as an advantage. Do not underestimate it. It has a powerful built-in physical shield which can be used to protect its left flank. All of its three medium weapons are at one side so corner-shooting will do immense damage. The best way to kill it is to use Rocket weapons such as Orkan or Tulumbas or powerful long-range weapons like Trebuchet, although it can block the shot with its shield. This is the most powerful Dash robot along with Haechi.

Hover
This is a nimble yet sturdy bot which can literally glide 500m into the map if used right. It is a very annoying bot which can drop down upon unsuspecting enemies and take them out with its Orkans or Tarans or capture beacons easily. It has only one fatal disadvantage - it has a seven second cooldown when it lands on the ground, before the ability can activate again. The ideal method of taking one out is to hide behind walls or buildings, and when it touches down, pop out, and kill it. Be careful as it has very high HP for a fast bot, 190,000 HP at lv12. If it gains the upper hand even by a couple thousand damage, you are pretty much doomed.

Hellburner
If you want to survive an encounter with one of these, follow this advice. Its Overload ability grants it with an enormous speed boost and the ability to explode, doing massive damage to enemies and lose 1/8 of its HP to itself. It has to charge in as it has to be within 75m to deal damage. The self-damage cannot be healed. In higher leagues you will often see one with Ancile/Écu, Ember/Halo or Avenger/Shredder equipped. In lower leagues, Thunder/Pinata is often used. Stay away from it and deal as much damage as you can. When you kill it, it will release a shockwave that does half damage as the normal ability, ignoring the 5 second charge up entirely. It can be an unpleasant surprise. Try not to group together and get away from it as fast as you can. If it gets too close, and it inevitably will unless killed soon enough, you are doomed, or at the very least sustaining enormous damage.
