Thread: "New" upcoming game: Armor Blitz

Actually, I have found it to be easier the past couple of days. Instead of losing all but one tank (and taking several tries to do that) I'm getting it done with half of my platoon intact on the first or second try.

Also...holy crap, the extension is going to be amazing for a lot of people. For me, I guess it will mean a couple more Soviet tank packs. I've already been saving 100 ornaments/canes for the one I thought could fit in my budget...would have hated to get to the end and only have a ton of jingle bells and nothing good to spend them on...but now it looks like I need to save 200 more for two more packs. Three chances at 40% for a 5*...that's looking good to me!

I haven't noticed a change in difficulty for the final battle at all myself. But it can be hard to gauge these things since the same map tile in Armor Blitz can be easier or harder depending on a lot of random factors (such as the enemy's deployment and how often your tanks crit or evade. That and AB's RNG seems to be very VERY streaky in my experience).

For me it covers some of the days I'll not have a chance to log in, which means I have an actual chance of getting the event tanks to elite this time around. I'm pretty happy about that. Ulyana looks like one of the best five star heavies in terms of firepower. Possibly THE best for combined dps and ehp.

Should I get Jadgtiger from research? Or there some other tanks I should save BP for?

Depends on your team and how much BPs you have; Seren and Victoria considered best 5* destroyers so far, Odette is ok if you don't have any those but not a must have.

About the only thing Odette has over Victoria is a more rapid cooldown of her skill. Personally, I don't think it's enough to replace Victoria, but if you're looking for some weird speed skill build, she's your girl. I use them both...heck, I even use Johanna to good effect and hardly anybody seems to like her.

Victoria is a siege TD, Odette is a line breaker TD.
Got Victoria long ago, form monthly log in. Got Odette last time she popped out in the research, about a month ago. I use both.
Odette can be good for breaking through, when you need that one punch to finally break enemy tank holding your group.
Also consider the fact that Victoria has not yet even once popped up in the research.
Now I have my own theory - same as with Ocica - the research has a pool of girls that it can randomly generate from, but there is a limited amount and not every single one is included.
If you really need a TD right now, go pick Odette up, if you dont, sit on those BP.
Honeslty though - If you didnt pick up Catriona who was just replaced by Odette you missed a lot. She is pretty much a tankier Victoria with shorter range.
I myself em waiting for either a good Light Tank or Artillery of not - Minnie/Katyusha type.

It may haunt me but I didn't pick up Catriona since I'm only slightly over 3k blueprints and I don't want to miss the AMX-13, Leopard 1a1, Seren, Victoria, T-92 or S-51 if they pop up.
To be honest I'm not completely sold on the S-51 either. I'm open to suggestions if anyone has another tank they think is particularly good or undervalued though.

I got her from research. It was about the first time any of us could've possibly afforded her after launch.
