Basics
1- I will recommend to make a forum thread for your progress and some players will give you tips during your progress. I have 2 thread OKI DOKI and O.D FARM little by little progress and can see since MAY 2020 my progress. I do not ask for advice but you can ask with your thread or in the thread for help. There is a club for it. Join them
2- I will recommend to screen capture your account so the people know what you have and can help you out in the set up for the time been with future changes as you progress if you need that help. If you do, they need to see what weapons, what mechs, what modules etc and your storage. Those guys above between many here are people with big deal of knowledge and are pro or were pro R1 for combat so they know and they are been here way longer than me.
3- Farming
a-
I do not know your current level. So this is the deal and of course others can say anything else and recommend different strategy but.
1- Know well your grinding time available.
a- The reason is because depending of your level account and time to grind you will take advantage or will lose opportunity of fuel.
1- When you farm that bar above will keep moving as level progress every time you attack campaign. When you attack you get rewards as XP, GOLD, MIX BOX" No all the time" and of course that XP it is what makes move your acc level up.
Some campaign areas will give little to nothing but still important during level up process and some will be higher. You can see the fuel cost to attack and what will grant if you win the attack.
2- Depending your ways to play this game and how fast you can progress apart of part granted it is the Arena Shop to progress the account giving strength to the account it self.
3- As I was saying your play time it is very important for basics to follow.
a- If you are a player that farm 1 time a day
on arena shop you should get focus into improve health and resistance and depending your mech type what area you will need to improve. The first picture of area shop shows the improvement to make according your mech type just to say. Those will help you to cool down, recover energy, more energy and heat storage apart of modules. Now, many people will say to go to the second screen capture and will tell to improve health first the one below fuel enhancement
then go to resist
depending of what kind of player you are and desire to move in the game.
In my case I knew I will become a grinder so my focus was
Why? Very simple, when you level up fast more gold with get and and more XP and more mix boxes plus crossing levels give others nice grants on gold. If I can get extra regeneration and extra fuel space I can grind more and my progress will be faster collecting stuff. Now, that works for me because I am a crazy grinder but that do not apply for low grinder so you will need to get focus in the others areas to help support your mechs against attacks.
4- Back to the grinding we talked already of the Level up bar to reach L250. During that process you need to know how much % of level per XP collected during your attack will move.
a- Example. Let say you are L40 and farming on overlord normal OD6. When you play at OD6 normal the XP is higher than the other campaign areas XP grants at that particular 1v1 campaign. Let thing here for a moment and what will happen. If you are L40 and it is 40.0% and then grind OD6 normal so the bar % will start to move some %. Just saying because I do not remember how much is and just to give a number let say it gave 3% of the 100% to complete for L40 to cross to L41. Because the level up progress in the first 70 levels are faster, you can lose fuel. I mean you need to know how much will eat every time you advance that level with the XP granted at that position and knowing will give 3% when you are at 97% the game might stay at 100% not yet crossing as I used to calculate to max refuel.
Now, just think that you are at 97% but you will start to play today and do have a full fuel max out capacity because regenerated since yesterday. What will happen is that you might go to OD6 normal and will grind and then cross level to L41 but used only 5 fuel then the game will re-fuel maxing out crossing the level. Let say your max fuel is 45 then went down to 40 and crossing level now you are back to 45 and start to farm with those 45 in your new level. That it is a waste of fuel. You need to check your account to be at zero fuel when last grind will trigger the re-fueling and then you will get another 45.
If you have to grind at lover area to collect gold and lose fuel fast is good depending XP grant to get the full re-fuel. Strategy all days for grinding.
Sure this work for only people like me dedicated to grind. Also, you need to take in consideration your PVP because PVP grants XP, gold and boxes. Now for players with low grind is better to improve account health in those other areas. You can go to L4 in all of them because cost less silver coins as you will need to collect them during daily pvp. I do recommend to do 5 wins every day to get all of the coins at your rank. Missing days and no 5 wins it is a disaster for the progress.
Like I said, all depend of what kind of player you will become it is the way to play your account. If you are a legacy player acc with no messing up the account yet to keep some weapons of the old school then show your account and those old legacy players will give you a tone of information of what todo. Many here are former legacy players back in 2015. I cannot help you in that part. I am less than 2yrs player.
Oh I forgot to mention that when you level up the game grant more fuel space and also grant more storage space apart of the other rewards.
