What to unlock in Red Storm Event

Because of many event prizes in the event shop, new players can't decide what to unlock. So this small guide to unlock a better unit for you.

The more important items for a player, depends on the following few variables.
1. Level of the Player
2. Whether he/she is a coiner or free player.
3. What kind of units already unlocked and level of those.
4. How much time spend on the game.
5. How much eXP remains.

So as you see we can't give a generalized list of units to unlock without knowing the above information. But don't worry the I'll try to arrange a list by considering the more important items for a free player.

Before that you might like know there are few strategies to be considered when buying an event prize.

Strategy 1: Give the priority for offensive event prizes than defensive items from players. ( That means except the items really important to defend from event waves). These days no one can't defend when he is offline as Kixeye made the bases defenseless from totally different units such as level 5 Peacekeepers, Spectre, Crusader+Vipor, and new Titan!. So no point to spend time to defend the base.

Strategy 2: Buy the prizes which are upgrading in different buildings. So you can upgrade all of those items at once.

Strategy3: Think about the long term benefits than short term. For example if you are in level 25, the "Enforcer" is a cool item to smash the low level bases, but it is useless against the level 5 platforms and + level 6 turrets.

Strategy 4: Give the priority when an item on sale. Kixeye occasionally put items on sale so if you buy those sale items you could save much eXP and buy more.

Ok, then here is the list of more important event prizes, in ascending order.

1. Elite Rifle Man. :- This is the most important and all round unit every player should unlock at the first. 3 of 150 ERM platoons really helped me  to easily destroy the level 72+ Fortresses, full with Plasma Turrets + Watch Towers + Drone Silos + Hercules.

2. Hellstrom :- To easily collect Oil and Metal.

3. Hellfire and Elite Hellfire :- With level maxed Elite Hellfire and Hellstorm, any kind of Giant Thorium Deposit can be taken. (NB: need high armor unit such as Colossus or Mega Tank, to bait the sniper fire)

4. Elite Mega Tank :- To attack against player bases.

5. Warhead Launcher :- Buy this only if you have level 10+ Elite Mega Tank. Unless you may not invest to this as Kixeye will introduce more strong components for the Mega Tanks in the upcoming events.

6. Valkyrie and Elite Valkyrie :- To defend against the event waves.

7. Drone Silo :- This is so valuable to defend against the event waves when it full with customized wing drones with shock and napalm effect.

8. Stinger :- Mainly used in Watch Towers. Good to defend from unskilled Spectre pilots as Stinger missiles do more damage to the Spectre than bullets. But in events better to use ERM in WTs.

9. Elite Humvee :- Those who don't have the Hover Tanks, this is the best solution to defend against the Titan in events. You may also have a look at this article, "How to kill Titan" .

10. Plasma Turret :- This is best to kill invading heavy Tanks.

11. Laser Tank + Laser Tank Schematics :- Useful to keep one custom Laser Tank, when using 6 Hellfires as the Laser Tank could kill Spawning mortar teams before they attack to HF Tanks.

12. Gladiator and Elite Gladiator :- This is not important but very useful to easily kill Hercules. And as this is using the Academy for upgrading, your Tech Center will not get a trouble from this.

13. Attack Dog :- Good to find mines. As this is cheaper as 1500 eXP most players unlock this at their fist event.

Other items are not much useful so after buy the above prizes you could spend your remaining eXP as you wish.

The above list will be changed when the new units and schematics introduced in the future events and when the current items removed.

If you think the above unit sequence should be change, please comment here and let us know about your opinion.

Kixeye study the decision to remove the new TITAN, due to criticism of players

Rumours say an official of the company Kixeye study the decision to remove the new TITAN from War Commander game, following widespread criticism of players.

When introducing the spectre, as you see most of Kixeye official videos they never thought players will fly it around and around the enemy bases and reduce the damage taken to it. So Kixeye found Titan also will be a bigger problem than the Specter ever was.

Nothing to wonder as Kixeye failed to fight with the Cheaters, cheaters will get maxed upgraded Titan with their mini accounts and will flatten the bases with few seconds and then instantly heal it.

Without some base defenses in the upcoming months no one can survive from the Titan. Because new customized Elite Warhawks which has both air and ground attack plus its drones will come to escort the Titan. If it is hard for even high level players to defend against it in the event waves, how about when it piloted by an experience player? If someone adjusted base to defend against the air attack he will easily be flatten by Elite Mega Tanks.

Kixeye could earn lots of money from players due to the Spectre, but it also cost some good players abandon the game and half of the rest reduced their loyalty to Kixeye. The same effect would happen due to the Titan but this time what happen if more good players abandon? Most decent coiners are busy people with their job so they want to keep their bases without repeated flattens. No one like to get friendly bubble every day and hiding their own shells.

If the Titan take off it will cause another problems because some players already coined to upgrade it. If it would be removed Kixeye must have to refund the cost of those players spent and eXP points.

Kixeye didn't tell you about these.

During the event, Operation Red Storm we have found these game changes. These are not confirmed by the Kixeye but we saw even in forums, players are complaining about these. Probably the following changes are just bugs or who knows Kixeye made these unconfirmed modifications.

1. Watch Towers has more range than usual. When you are using Spectre, even if you click so far from the Watch Tower, your spectre will get hitting by the stingers. So better not to use Spectre to destroy the Watch Towers in the later waves unless you are super coiner. Instead of that you could use HF+HS+V2 in later waves.

Also shock troopers in Watch Towers have more range due to that. See the following image I targeted Hellfire to barricades from 90' angle, but got hitting from the shock trooper.

2. Plasma cannons are continuously firing like Machine Gun. I used 150 ERM platoon to destroy the Drone Silo in 80th wave, but the Plasma Cannon shoot rapidly and killed all ERMs within few seconds. This has happened in the previous event too.

3. Even though Kixeye officially mentioned the Spires pay you 1000 eXP after capture it, those will pay only 750 eXP.

How to capture Spire

Spires are now worth to capture as not only 5 of them gives 50% eXP boost, but also each Spire gives 750 eXP. Also Spires will remain 4 hours and after capture it will continuously in the bubble that means no one can steal it.

Good Spectre pilot can take down a spire with no damage within two attack. So this is how others could take a Spire. This method will take upto 30 minutes for each spire.

What you need.
One Platoon of 150 ERM
One Platoon of 26 Elite Valkyries and 20 ERM.
One Platoon of 7 Hellfire and 3 Valkyries.
5 Hellstorms.

 1. Use Valkyrie to bait Hercules and Hellfire them. Do it from each four sides.

2. Then use ERM to bait Gladiators and kill them using Elite Valkyries. Do it same as before in each four sides.

3. Then Hellfire to the walls and Hellstrom to the turrets near the Watch Towers. All Watch Towers near to walls, can be destroyed using this kind of splash damage.

Remember there is a hidden watch tower behind the Spire. Just leave it now.

4. After all the Turrets destroy, use your ERM toon to kill reaming Watch Towers and Hercules. Watch Towers only containing Stingers and one Shock Trooper so can be used any ground unit to destroy them. If you unable to manage to destroy all using one ERM toon, quickly heal them and try again.

How to kill Titan

There are many easy methods to beat Titan in the wave 33 and 36 and up. But for you the best method depends on what kind units you have and its level and customization.

Preparation.

Whenever you know the next wave comes with Titan, and if your base hasn't much strength, you should do the following things.
1. Fill Watch Towers with Stingers. Stingers are better than ERM to kill Titan.
2. Keep all four Watch Towers in one side. You have to restart the wave again and again to get the Titan from that direction.
3. Spread some ERM around your base. They works as a bait and Titan is going to kill ERM before comes to your base. So you could able to earn some time.
4. If you have unused "Canned Spinach" Special Ops (5 Mercenary Hercules deploy when your Base is under Attack), time to use it.

Here are some of the best methods to kill Titan.

1. Use Hover Tanks. If you have those this is the best method. Hover Tanks can fire stingers while moving so if you keep them out of the range of Titan, your Hover Tanks will not be damaged and Titan never reach your walls, and also Titan will die in few minutes.


2. Use Customized "Elite Humvee" s. This is what lots of low level players do. Customize the Elite Humvees with Stinger Launcher, More Range and More Speed and Acceleration. Unlike Regular Humvee, "Elite Humvee" can fire while moving, so keep moving them out of the range of Titan.


3. Use Customized Elite Gatling Trucks. Use Fire Effect and more range. Keep some ERM around your WTs (As mentioned in earlier). While Titan busy with ERM, you could hit using E/Gatlings from the out of range of Titan. It would burn and die.! (I did this method as I wanted to burn him before his death. LOL)

4. Use Flak Tanks and Customized Elite Valkyries. If your Valkyries already dead, don't worry just micro heal them. Modify those with Stinger, More Range, Suicide Kit and More hit-points against air. Flak Tanks has big range when don't move, and have a good splash damage, so you could use them to kill the drones of Titan from safe distance. Then use Customized Valkyries from the behind of Titan because drones come from the front.

Most important thing, get out all of your units from the Titan when it is going to die. Titan probably have an inbuilt suicide kit, when it dies it would blast everything around its attackable radius even the flying Valkyries. ! See whats happening in the following video.


You may share this post on your wall so whoever see this also will suggest you their best method. Good Luck Commander.

Warhawk Schematics

Here is the Schematic information of Warhawk. These are taken from the preview server so this info is not the final.

How to Play Operation Red Storm

Here is the official event description.

Once in, defend yourself from the Red Lokust offensive by hitting the "Start" button.

After some successful defense campaigns, launch a counter assault on Red Lokust Strongholds by heading to the World Map and hunting for a Stronghold base. You will be shown the lowest level Stronghold you can attack in the UI above the event banner.

Spires have returned, and this time they’ve improved! Capture Spires on the World Map to increase your XP gain in waves- the more Spires you hold while defeating a wave, the higher the XP payout for the wave! Spires now also give a set XP amount when captured!

Occasionally, you will have to take out powerful Fortresses. These Fortresses are unlike anything you have ever seen before, and are exceptionally well-protected - accessible only from one point of attack. Bonus XP can be gained by destroying Bonus buildings before the bonus timer runs out! Plot your strategy and execute quickly, as Fortresses reset after an hour.

Defeat incoming waves of enemies and launch your own assault to earn XP and win powerful new prizes!

The Prizes
Earn enough XP and devastating Titan technology could be yours. Also keep an eye out for the new Warhawk Schematic, as well as a chance at something special if you can outlast the enemy through Wave 72.

Start Time
Operation: Red Storm will begin Thursday, January 23rd at 9AM PST.

Titan

Uptade 1 : Here is How to kill Titan.

Here are the statistics of Titan, the new unique unit of the Operation Red Storm. Please remember these stats are taken from the preview server. Preview is not final and can be changed.

Description:
"The colossal Titan Rains death from  above using its Missile Barrage Cannon, and comes equipped with a fleet of defense drones that attack both ground and air."

Event Tips for Operation Red Storm.

-MICRO HEAL!
simply fill a platoon full of dead units,press repair,cancel,take out the unit with a smidge of health and repeat until all are done(also certain units you can repair 1 at a time for free ie buggys and eriflemen-good thing to know during events) also microhealed unit work just as good as full health units if say you know you wont be shot at for example razorback...this leads me on to the next tip..

-RANGE!
know your ranges and always try to use your range to your advantage,remember what ever you outrange shouldnt hurt you,ie razorback vs machine gun turret,ehellfire vs laser turret

-BAITING!
eriflemen-are a great tool and a free repair for baiting suicide trucks in the attack waves and save time messing about with air,simply let the suicide truck kill your 1 erifleman
bombers-are a great at killing favs quickly and save time also work just as good micro healed run 1 into a fav and see
evalkeries-work just as good microhealed and work like little deployable cobras, no more running arround a base just deploy at the side you need and bait! obviously keep away from anti air units

-REPAIRS!
fill base full of heavy vehicles and long repairs to repair overnight remember your base platoon is more than twice the size of your normal platoon so will repair more units overnight! also as mentioned microhealing is one way to save time on repairs, scrapping units is another remember if you rebuild some units overnight these will be ready to use the next day aswell as what ever you filled you base with

-DEFENCE!
a mixture of all the above, if you outrange them they shudnt do you harm! filling base with erifles to defend base is great but they aint goin to stop everything mix and match your defending units to counter what ever the wave throws at you! remember aslong as your units defending base has health it will fight for you,micro heal then adjust units and positions and try again!

-ATTACK!
again a mixture of the above, take your time if you can, remember there is no time limit for the outposts bases take your time and do it right and also remember if you rush mistakes will happen, baiting is key! bait any and all movable units so then it is down to just you and the base, know your range and micro heal remember if your not going to take damage then the unit is good to use!

AND FINALLY PREPARATION!
-remember if you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail! start to prepare now if you havent already you still have time!
-preparing for waves you failed, you know what is coming so adjust the units to counter what the wave has to bring, adjust the position of the units, adjust your mines positions, adjust your base if needed! anything to pass the wave, it may be the difference of getting 1 more prize and wasting the xp!
-preparing for an attack, you know the next base is hard as you may of tryed it once or maybe you have already looked at the base before trying, ask yourself what do i need, repair the units you need and rebuy other units to give yourself a better chance if this is needed especially on a fortress wave!
-fortress wave preparation! when things get hard try to end on a fortress wave as it is the hardest of them all, scope the base out take a close look, run a dog arround to see what moves so you know remember you have 1 shot, 1 hour to complete the fortress if you fail.. then the base resets! if you dont have the platoons to try again then its back to repairs! time saving is key if you can run a erifle into a suicide truck instead of baiting it to your air then do so! time is of the essence!

GOOD LUCK COMMANDER!

Operation Red Storm

This event is similar to Operation: Devils Grip due to "Beat wave 72 t o acquire this prize." which means there is a high chance of being another Hybrid event and a low chance of mostly defending...

The Wingman Prize is a fair game, we would just need to pass wave 72 but the catch is you would probably need warhawks to unlock it or obtain it and unluckily there is a good chance warhawks won't be discount or sale. Would be very useful if warhawk schematic is good.

I have heard that the (UNIQUE) Crusader is "Last Chance" and placed at 60,000 which is the dumbest thing Kixeye could ever do unless XP will be easy to obtain because the Crusader or Crusader X isn't good anymore. I recommend dropping it around 40,000-50,000 if the XP is hard to obtain with Spires.

Spires will now reward 10% per deposit with a total of 50% towards your XP but the catch is the time limit and the difficulty of it.

The New (Unique) Titan is at a reasonable price due to it's features.

The Warhawk schematic is a unexpected release and the cost of it is ridiculous unless it has some features better than the Cobra. I recommend 20,000-30,000 XP if the Cobra Aircraft is still more meaningful than the warhawk. I only recommend 35,000 for the warhawk if the schematic is really good which I have only seen cobra do that but the cons about the Warhawk schematic is a probability of Winged Drone or Cobra: A bun of thorium to max out the good stuff....

The laser tank schematic is now discounted since laser tanks were released during the first Operation: Redstorm by Sicke Syndicate, not sure if laser or elite laser is on discount since I have already bought them...

Some other units are discounted so other players could catch up and I can't see that happening...

Public Preview will be released either tomorrow or the day after that.

Enjoi.
