Former Meta Builds

In this topic, I’ll post what I believed to be some of the best of the best OLDER meta/top-tier builds. The point of this topic is to have a place to put all former meta builds, as many of them will be helpful for the vast majority of players (to use as a reference point and something they can build into over time).

META = Most Effective Tactics Available (ie. what's the best build in game to help you climb the ladder in arena). Note this isn’t a build help thread. If you need build help, please go there. 

If you want to view the current meta builds, please visit it here: Current Meta Builds.

I will maintain this thread for as long as I have the motivation 🙂

Why would you use swoop over firefly or any other heat damage drones though? Swoop is only really meant for boilers and huggers, putting it on damage mechs is kind of pointless because of its low damage, even though you would overheat opponents a lot faster, but you have to sacrifice more weight to put energy modules on.

Swoop is super low weight, spits out 117 heat damage per hit, easily best heat drone in game hands down for almost every single heat build

Note as of today, these are the current meta builds, but I'll "update" this topic going forward. If I have more free time, I can try to add the older metas.

I beleive you are missing many viable builds, such as LG's windigo hugger, Ivar's build and some others.

I literally pulled an MPV from r3 box, and from the other r3 box I opened, I puleld plat fortress, so its holy sry whiteout

This post confirm me you don't need skill/strategy to play this game, you just need good items to compete in higher rank.

I think the LP exploit proved that even with maxed inventories, bad players will still be bad lol

Yes, this is missing any non current meta build atm. When new items come out, I'll keep the old metas in here.

It is Clevername's thread and point of views.

I disagree with most of the heat part of it ("the best heat" for example is quite shet), it wouldnt be relevant for me to clog this thread with my own povs.

I think you missed something:

I appreciate you moving the old META to this thread and for your constant help with the META thread.

I've been wondering something recently.  When people start their stuff with META, it seems like they have an attitude of "I must get every item and have exactly that META mech in order to achieve rank 1."  I know this is probably not realistic, but would you be willing to comment?

I had countered (not the game, but in conversation) this point with pointing out that it's more a philosophy and about the tactics (most effective TACTICS available) than about making an exact copy of those mechs.  Also, that it is more a reflection as to what is top dog in the game.  Would you be willing to comment on whether I'm thinking about the META properly?

From my POV, this game is 90 percent items and builds, and 10 percent in game decisions. Even the garbage AI could destroy my mechs with CleverName's builds. That being said, you do not need an exact replica, but the closer the better obviously.

Yup, I’d agree with that. Majority of players can’t make exact meta builds, but it can be useful as a reference point. Obviously the closer you can replicate a meta build, the likely stronger you’ll be. 

Now some meta builds really do need quite a few items in unison, so if someone is missing a good amount of items, meta builds can’t be replicated too easily, hence why I’m making a former meta build thread as that will overtime have a higher variety of builds, some which will be more f2p/smaller inventory friendly.

Thanks.

Here's the desktop wallpaper I made out of the monkey-centric META from last year in case anyone would like to reference it.

      Forge Quest Tournament!

      Tournament commentatory (only for fun:) Here in the second day of the Forge Quest Tournament we are the 4th match of the tournament between bumbum vs antoinedestructor1944 both have remarkable mechs one blue naga and the other one grey windigo but after a series of 5 nerve wrecking matches bumbum wins by 3 to 2 gg to his opponent, after that the 5th match of the tournament began between Manolis109 vs Riyadh one mech is energy drainer and the other one is red windigo and then they decided a 3 match series out of which the energy drainer wins in by a little edge 2 to 0 gg to his opponent, the 6th match between Pyraaaa vs hasn one had a white naga with gamblers gun and the other one has a grey nightmare after a excellent battle Pyraaaa had won gg to his opponent, the 7th match is between trophy436 vs idkwhatnameiwannause both have a decent mech one mech is female ( trophy wife just kidding zarkares really a good torso and the other one windigo build mech after a 10 rounds insane battle trophy436 wins gg to his opponent, and obviously the 8th member that qualified as he had got no opponent or you can say no opportunity to fight has also qualified sadly we don't know about his mech and he is owlton . And the fool Sepia Rhino had a question in his mind how the organizing team can understand whelter a player has used arena buffs or not ? ; 'should we submit a screenshot of arena shop '. Hope you enjoyed the commentatory. If you feel offended DM me I will remove this post but can you tell me why is Sepia Rhino messaging me to delete this commentatory;)

      I have just made a purchase for a special offer but it did not go through, but it still took my money. I sent a message to Alex, but I noticed that he has not been online much. Who should I contact for support?
