‘Transformers: Earth Wars’: Top 10 Tips & Cheats You Need to Know

Here are the top 10 tips/tricks/cheats you need to know for Transformers: Earth Wars.

1. Mix it Up

• Use a variety of classes in battle. Make sure you have at least one Gunner, Air and Warrior in each battle. Fill your remaining Shuttle spaces with either a Healer or a Special, or take a couple of your favorite class (two Air units can be particularly effective).

2. Upgrade Your Abilities

• Ensure you’ve upgraded your abilities ­ use the Research Lab to improve your bot’s abilities. This will increase their effectiveness in battle.

3. Pair Up Your Bots

• Use bots with complimenting abilities for devastating effects. Using Bumblebee’s/Kickback’s Glass Gas rockets on defenses will increase the amount of damage they take. Follow this up with Jazz’s/Mixmaster’s Orbital Strike for a deadly combo.

4. Level Up Your Bots

• When leveling up low level or newly obtained bots, take them into higher battle zones with a couple of your high level bots. This will result in more experience being earned than would be from victories in lower zones.

5. Upgrade Your Shuttle

• Upgrade your shuttle whenever possible. Upgrading your shuttle increases the amount of bots that you can take into battle. Having more bots will make those tough bases easier to deal with.

6. Space Out Your Defenses

• Space out your defenses. Avoid clumping defenses together when possible. Layouts that have buildings in close proximity are especially susceptible to area of effect (AOE) abilities, such as Rocket Barrage, Orbital Strike and artillery support.

7. Protect Your Resources

• Keep your storages and harvesters away from the deploy zone. Having these buildings further back will reduce the amount of loot that will be stolen, as the attacker will have to work harder, or be victorious in order to steal larger quantities of loot.

8. Aim for the Space Bridge

• The research lab and space bridge award additional ability points when they are destroyed. These should be targeted earlier on in battle in order to supply you with enough ability points to use against defenses. In your own base, these buildings should be moved further back to prevent the attacker from earning extra ability points.

9. Space Out Your Bots

• Don’t deploy all of your bots in the same space, or all at once ­ dropping all of your bots in one place will likely result in them being annihilated by defenses. Deploying a Warrior first will allow them to soak up the damage from defenses, whilst your gunners and air can go to work. Sometimes it’s best to let your warriors take the Mortar shells on the chin, rather than make them charge in and cause the Mortar to retarget onto your fragile gunners.

10. Join an Alliance

• Join an alliance and participate in wars. Winning Alliance Wars will result in rewards of Spark, Energon and Alloy. This will be a helpful addition to your resources that can be used on ability and building upgrades.
