Thanks, CleverName. Nicely done and interesting. These will definitely start showing up in the arena 🤪
 
Brought to you by asshats to reelect AssClown to the Itty Bitty Titty Committee.

In this thread, I’ll post what I believe to be the best builds in the game (meta builds). Everyone is welcome to post and debate meta builds.
META = Most Effective Tactics Available (i.e. what's the best build in game to help you climb the ladder in arena and have the highest win rate). I've excluded "popular" builds that aren't really "meta." I'm defining meta as the best builds in their respective element and must at a minimum be able to achieve Rank 1 full stars (and preferably have the highest win rate possible).  The "best" builds are of my own opinion from arena testing.
Note this isn’t a build help thread. If you need build help, please go there. If you want to view older meta/top-tier builds, please go here.
I will maintain this thread for as long as I have the motivation 🙂

I wish anyone has acces to 1 single account, all this alts are killing the game.
Get an alt account, hunt your enemies, clear the field, boost your main account.
Thia pathetic way to be needs to stop, still there are people who don't believe it's possible, really funny.
Thank you for opening the thread, whoever doesn't like the idea to play 1 and only account is going to rain mad on you 😉
But i support you.

I think the same TOS (updated version) solves the issue:

 
Here it says "establishing Users for the sole purpose of transferring Game Resources to Your other accounts."
That´s, you can have multiple users or multiple accounts, as long as you don't use them to transfer resources.
 
It doesn´t state anything regarding the use of alt accounts to manipulate Arena.

Happy New Year, everyone! 
I think it's fair to say 2020 was a unique year for many, with many hard moments. Personally, I enjoyed seeing the community here rally together and the sheer positivity coming from many. I hope the new year continues to bring us together and enjoy life together 🙂
Here's to a great 2021!! 🎆

Well, I will say that what you say it is true in some ways and it does affect the game with the cheaters inflating AP and that it is not as much at lower side just few clans. In the other hands, there are people with multiple accounts playing with family using same IP. That doesn't mean they inflate AP but instead they play with family using same network and same phone or comp etc. 
I am one example, I do have multiple accounts but play with family. I have members are minors so I do not allow them to have e-mails accounts and ensure they use same equipment to have control. 
In my opinion the game should not restrict multiple accounts at all. Some people also play for fun and create different to see results and enjoy a game with multiples accounts like me. I have been solo player from start never in clan just till recently and of course there are millions of clans here and their members asking to let then win for their ranks or clans need and that goes toward all clans including the top. I give free to many top clans asking so AP inflate not just only by having multiple accounts but by players asking and some granting like me during my constant test that sometimes I take 40 losses on the road for my data collection.
No matter what, cheaters and inflating etc always will be there and locking IP will say it is not proper and as example I have 2 accounts that I p2w even my family use the account next to me so I let them play and test and learn. 
Sure I get you but this game it is been like that according my family member player since 2012. Play one account or more it is fine. What you do as clan member or clan direction internally it is clan matter. All clans have different views how to make the clan a top or what more matter as team but inflate I will say it is wrong using accounts in that way.
Some use frantics because nothing else, some are p2w unlucky having parts at FB's some are lucky with FB's and are f2p etc. Just focus in your own play and enjoy. I know that harm the clan I am but we are not focus in AP instead fights titan, tickets and war. 
Do not take me wrong, yes I get you and you have a lot of reason and I agree but sadly not all play in that way so will lose accounts that with honest hard work build like me to be screw in that way it is wrong. Do you know how much work took me to L250 my accounts farming in an insane way 24/7 to make them in less than 10 months at that level and pay for some items not even in use but for future when I can accumulate gold  farming and crafting taking an eternity to make it happen? 
OKI
 

Happy New Year to the players, administration and everyone involved in the operation of the game and the forum. May there be peace in your families

I think we're all in agreement on:
1) Alt accounts COULD be useful if they weren't designed for arena manipulation
2) Alt accounts are bad because of arena manipulation

My comments:
- #1 would be nice to have; plenty of people get bored with a "main" account and want to have some fun at lower levels.
- #2 is a problem that's really hard to solve (mainly because of VPNs - no way to track who owns what in a scalable way). Additionally, this is a really, really minor problem in the grand scheme of things (and this really only effects the top ~30 players, so less than 0.0001% of the game)

My view on potential "solutions":
A) ban alts for everyone (somehow - still no real answer as to how this could be done) - hurt vast majority of players who play alts in innocent way; Gato loses revenue to please a few players
B) allow alts for everyone (arena manipulation is issue very top players will have to deal with - as they always have since inception); Gato makes most money this way
C) try to manually ban alts for bad actors (super time intensive). This would be ideal - perhaps give a warning to abusers first (as it's grey area of whether arena manipulation is against any rule); ban if they continue to do it. However for C - I will say it's hard to tell what exactly counts as arena manipulation. If an account is shared with multiple people and stays in a different clan the whole time, how do you know they're "feeding" wins vs. just losing (intentional or otherwise). Also hard to get get sufficient burden of evidence as there's almost none on the player side perspective.
Personally, I think B is the best approach. It's the easiest, cleanest, and best solution for majority of player base. It also brings in more revenue for Gato. C sounds like a headache and A will just hurt most players and Gato. Just my 2 cents.

Happy New Year 😊

Happy new year!

New year in 8 hours for me. Even tho we can't invite any friends or be invited due to the current circumstances we will play online card games with our friends, eat, drink..speak via videocall , dance , it will be be a great night. I hope everyone will have fun today, we all have been looking forward to it.

Let's leave 2020 behind us and wish for a solid, not heartbreaking 2021. The REAL start of the decade.

I would play it sure, but Reloaded would definitely be my focus.
When I was a young kid, like 8 years old or something, I saw someone with the username "CleverName" - I thought it was pretty creative an indeed a clever name. So after that, I started going with it. 

Hello, woop2 here. Just joined the new forum, if there's any pm's I was in on the old forum that got transferred over here, please set me up with the new thread.
 
(specifically the btb lounge, any others are fine too...)

The name is TheWindWeaver , im the lady that have been around the game since the more positive times before reloaded , former 2 old forum members and the game's veteran , im well known for untilizing high risk high reward Frantic Brute tactics [Yes , tactics] , i roam around the more lower ranks for more relaxing fights , don't hestitate to request a win if you were to see me in the Arena as i have no intention in competetive gameplay . A pleasure for me to be in the new forum against new people as well as old people alike

Using a little filter because my skin is bad so this is a great reminder to start taking care of my face more (took this pic just now)

Similar to the old forum, feel free to ask me anything. (I do reserve the right to not respond to some questions/give vague answers where applicable.)
Some quick FAQs I usually get:
Q: How much have you spent on SM?
A: 5 figures USD.
Q: Where do you live?
A: NY, USA.
Q: How old are you?
A: Mid 20s.
Q: Where do you work/what do you do?
A: I work in private equity for a firm on Wall Street. Private Equity is basically investing in companies, improving them, and then selling them (so basically investment banking + consulting). Feel free to learn more about it online!
Q: What's your name?
A: Sorry, I'm trying to keep my identity secret. (So that is why sometimes I may not answer some questions too clearly.)
Q: Do you have a YouTube channel?
A: Yes, you can view it here: https://www.youtube.com/c/CleverNameSM
Q: Can you give me tokens/items/accounts?
A: No.
Q: Are you a SM/TS/GG/Forum Mod/Dev/Admin?
A: No.
Q: Can you help me with builds?
A: I prefer giving build advice to Rank 1 players, as that's where I have the most experience. There should be a Build Help section on this forum; I'd recommend you go there to ask for help. I made a topic on Current Meta Builds - I always play the best build in the game.
Q: Why do you play SM/why did you spend so much?
A: SuperMechs for me is something I enjoy playing. I enjoy playing it not so much for the technical aspects, but it’s more of a nostalgic game for me as I played it when I was a bit younger and really enjoyed the game (and with nostalgia, comes happiness). I don’t remember why I quit, but when I found the game again, it’s really been great. I also really enjoy the community here, being able to be creative with builds, and having a close fight every now and then. =P 

Since I know multiple players and myself have other players in their family, therefore playing the game under the same IP, I do not think this is a good idea, Besides that, people already have VPN those days, so it wouldn't be really hard to bypass that system if it were implemented. 🙂
