Hotlok

@Rook Not sure if this was due to coding constraints or not but with the one shot kill option, can you set it up so that our own bots are also not given 1 hit point as well? It makes it ‘interesting’ trying to level up melee bots against a base when only one shot will take them out as well. I’ve managed a few workarounds like turning on the one shot kill function when I think my bot is about to land a blow but that has been more of a 30% chance of success and then I’m forced to use up a long range bot to follow it up. Thanks and keep up the awesome work!

My observations on the other abilities that work via playing against my own base in Base Trials is that the “Deploy Anywhere” option allows you to deploy anywhere outside of the main battle grid so that means anywhere just outside the ‘diamond’. Typically as most bases are located at the top point of the diamond then you would just deploy your bots there. Please note that if you have non flying bots, they will take a bit of damage traversing from the bottom of the screen right through to the top. Aerial bots have no issues. I would also strongly recommend that you turn off the “One Shot Kill” option as what this seems to do is make your bot some sort of super bomb where the next shot that takes it out, will destroy whatever is nearby (hopefully the HQ). If you have this option on while traversing to the top of the ‘diamond’ then don’t expect to have too many bots survive the journey. I recommend you turn the option on once they are in place. The one shot kill function seems a lot like the Gnaw mini bot issue many months back where dropping a Gnaw minion battle booster next to the HQ would guarantee an instant win once a defense kills one of the minions due to the damage cause upon death.

Just did a Gold war with “Infinite Mana” only and when I won the war it crashed out on me with a loss but the bots were not timed out. Redid it with “Infinite Mana” on and I was credited with the win. Not sure why the original crash happened though.

New observation @Rook I just ran a few tests doing normal battles with my teams running with the “No Cooldown Only” option. It looks like it does not work. Here is what I did: Team 1 - Battle 1 in zone 14: win and no issues. Team 1 - Battle 2 in zone 14: win but got crash that forced a restart error message was “Something went wrong (5056)” Tried a new team... Team 2 - Battle 1 in zone 13: win and no issues Team 2 - Battle 2 in zone 13: win but same error message I then thought It might work if I alternated the teams so... Team 1 - Battle 3 in zone 14: win but got crash again “(5056)” I then tried it with the infinite mana option also turned on hoping that the synergies of the two hacks would work: Team 1 - Battle 4 in zone ONE (yes easy mode): win but got crash again “(5056)” I then tried it with a new team except for one bot from team 1 to see if that would work Team 3 - Battle 1 in zone ONE: win but got crash again “(5056)” Conclusion is that for at least during the week, SpaceApe keeps track of which bots should be on a timer and so this part of the hack does not work. I’ll try other options later on but I would like to know if I did something wrong or if this is a recent “fix” by SpaceApe.

Looking forward to this. I assume the best way to play this is to only use the obvious ‘hacks’ on weekend events where no one is ‘hurt’ nor can they do a replay of your battle. Edit: just successfully installed the game on my iOS 13.5 iPhone Max with zero issues. Very impressed with the elegance of the patch and the ease of use to switch on and off the various options. For me the option I will use all the time is the “no cool down option” as this will not obviously affect anyone else. During the week I might experiment with the “no infinite mana” option but only for very careful experimentation and not be obvious when using it. The other two great options “Deploy Anywhere” and “One hit kill” I’ll use in the weekends. Good job guys and you have definitely got a new fan over here!
