The other 2 SR and SSR robos in the missions can be released by getting 10 gold medals and 40 silver. I think the medal earnings are when the metal bubbles are released, depending on their color. That would explain other people having them in early stages, because you can buy them with real money in the store area.

I just figured something out today gameplay-wise. if you shoot the two ufo's in a chain before killing the planes in between, all of the planes you haven't killed turn into gems. which is quite helpful.

FYI to anyone playing this, the daily special stages today are piling out the 99 EXP robos like never before. There is a treasure chest icon behind them and every time you play a level you get loads of them.

I don't understand why. It's giving me at least 4 of them every game on the 15 AP and it gave me an R one plus Ns on the 25. More overall than it's ever been. I'm just going to keep piling them until tomorrow and then have like 50 99 EXPs.

Maybe you aren't getting your gem count up high enough before rpg battles?

Always trying to get it to 100, but I'm only getting like one N and lots of those.. weird silver-bar things that are only good for selling

EDIT: Just as a BTW: You can get R robos in those 5-pack capsules that you can buy for 5k

Aw crap, my bad. I thought the silver bar dudes were 99 EXP robos because they show up 99 in an area. They are robos on the opposite end, coins instead of EXP. Sorry I got your hopes up.

I'm rank 21 btw. Is there any way to clear those terrible N-robos that are behind that present-icon? I have 114/200 and am I supposed to manually claim them and sell them?

You have to manually sell them one at a time from what I can tell but you can bulk release them out of your 200 bin with the button on the bottom. It will release all coin bonuses and all the robos that will fit in your...robo area. Then sell all you can and repeat. It is tedious.

I'm on rank 24. After you get in the 20s you have to do more and more upgrading to be able to beat the end stages, I've even used up most of my won green energy modules to beat them. It didn't feel like cheating since I won them instead of buying them with real money.

When you get to 24 even some of the normal stages require powering up your robos before you have a chance. Of course if we could read Japanese it would all be easier because we could read the stuff required to release the SR and SSR characters which rip bosses in half.

BTW when you rpg attack bosses did you notice it looks like you lit a bag full of firework dicks lol.

I'm "Aghh" on there if you find me. Friend req or cold blood.

So I somehow managed to get this attached to my Google account (if I go into the Play Store page it now gives the open/uninstall option, on the web it no longer whines about "not available in your country")
Not entirely sure how I pulled it off, but it is doable. Testing to see if I can reinstall it if I uninstall or switch devices.

edit: and yes I can. Guess Google only cares where you are for the initial "purchase" of an app/movie/music, even if it's free. It does *not* show up under my installed apps though, I have to go over into the "all" tab if/when an update comes out.

I used the page here http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
But instead of pasting the link there I did the Chrome extension method, which as far as I can see tells Google "This user is downloading this app to their device," which apparently set the flag for me having "purchased" it. In theory it could work for any free app that's region-blocked. (if someone has one they know of, I'd be glad to test this theory)

last edit: lol Cave "this app is compatible with all of your devices." Yeah, I'd love to see my OG Evo 4G run this, if only to laugh at the horrific lag.

When you get to stage 25 this game becomes pretty silly. You can max level out all your robos and still not be able to clear the final stage boss. I think the strategy might become clear the red daily mission to earn a green pill to use on the stage final level, but that is if it's even possible to clear those at a rank 25. I never have before. Maybe with all robos maxed but I doubt it. It is basically begging for money at this point.

It also looks like often times you can't get the second release of an R robo until you've maxed him at 30 so it's pointless to wait around hoping you won't have to go from full to 1. The trick is to make a big leap from 1 by using 8x99EXP robos on the first powerup so you can use the least amount of coins on it. The game seems to reward taking big leaps in all aspects.

That probably didn't make any sense to anyone not playing this game.

That's how it is from rank 20 on. But I've actually gotten to rank 26 finally today, after taking a character to level 35, powering up another and fighting it with Fever. Basically 2 things to keep in mind are 1) often times "same" R robos (to bring bottom stars/35-40 max levels don't pop out until you have maxed them at 30 and 2) you will use 1/100 of the coins in a powerup if you maximize from the getgo. Look at this powerup, one time from rank 1 to 35, all that way on so few coins (1720 coins total for going all the way 1 to 35 - if you were level 34 going to 35 it would cost you ~5000 for 1 level jump, I did 34 level jumps here for 1720 total).

You have to spend days on the daily goals collecting the EXP robos, and move up past green to orange. Try to stick to using the same color EXP robos on the same color robos to powerup - it will give you way more bang for the buck, this game really rewards patience and planning.

_______________________________

OK I'm going to try and figure out the color damage chart, here is a work in progress / notes.

Regardless of what color gem a stage is, the bosses within it have their own gem color, and damage against them depends on which you have built up. So sometimes if you are playing a level that has 2-4 stages in it and the bosses on each have different gem colors, you are better off making a mixed team with members who damage each boss better, and sticking to trying to pickup the right color gems on each stage.

colors damage "ok" against themselves (ex. red team vs. red gem boss)
yellow is strong against blue
yellow is weak against red
red is weak against blue
red is strong against yellow

No that's not normal. All of my teams except for white are all R or SR. White R's just never seem to pop out anymore. There may be some limitation when you are on the early levels but I don't remember ever being restricted in that way.

Thanks for the answer!

And what about number under the robos Lv on their upgrade menu? The second spec, what does it means? :)

The reason you can't equip more R robos is because of your team's power-limit.
The number under LV is the power that the robo requires to be equipped in a team, the limit goes up when you level up. Usually better robos cost more team-power to be equipped, it might take a while to get a full team of Rs

There's a major update today. You have to login to your Japan account to download it. I finally made it to Rank 27. To beat the 26 boss I had to powerup my best blue and yellow players and then max out the appropriate gems before battles on 1/3 and 2/3 and then on 3/3 just suck as many stars as quickly as possible without regard to gems. That, while being in Fever, and I barely beat it.

Well, they've added the SDOJ characters as unlockable for a short time and I can't read the Japanese to tell how to do it. I blame everybody here except Cagar for not giving a crap about this game, and I should kill you all in cold blood.

Aside from the insane difficulty jumps and some new backgrounds I haven't noticed. I think the bar on the right might have been tweaked and small changes to the shade over the characters at the bottom during the game and at the top of the screen some other graphics might have been tweaked out. They might be working on levels way way past where we're at and fixing little bugs. I'm coming close to releasing a couple of SR and SSR robos so hopefully it will let up a little. I've been getting murdered.

Ive got an R robo I have maxed out at level 30. Is there a way to upgrade him to SR? Currently he is grayed out when I go to the upgrade robo selection screen.

All of my R robos only show a top level of 30. Don't see any that go to 35 or 40. Currently i'm on level 18.

He can't be upgraded to SR but you can combine him with identical robos to fill the stars at the bottom of his card. Each time it increases it by 5 so R robos maxed out can make it to 40 after they have been combined with 2 identicals. But keep in mind each time you combine them they drop to level 1, albeit with higher base levels.

It's a different button you use to combine (bottom right). You don't just eat them up in an upgrade.

So, how do you get SR's. You just have to get one in play then?
