I haven't in the newest build yet, but I've been busy writing blog posts. :P
If you got there, tell us what your strategy is!
What upgrades did you get? How do you avoid death??
Human! You are about to become a sword robot! · By
I finally got to titanium, started with arrow block then tried to max out bow(to kill Spider Tron 6000) and made sure I had at least 1 clone at round 7 and 2 clones after round 13. for the most part I just kept moving killing whatever I could focusing mainly on archers and spidertrons. the jetpacks seem to be weak to walls and edges so I kind of exploited that to kill them. I died at round 16 :( \
update: got to level 17 mainly kiting large enemy force around while there archers/ spider bots friendly farm them then slowly eliminating spider bots and archers until only the main groups remain then I just slaughter them.
GOT TO ROUND 20
My highest score is 17 (so far), and my upgrades were as below:
1. Block Arrows I
2. Block Arrows II
3. Block Arrows III
4. Jetpack
5. Energy Capacity I
6. Clone (hereafter, if I die in a round, I will temporarily halt upgrading to create another clone)
7. Energy Capacity II
8. Energy Recharge I
9. Bow
10. Arrow Width I or Energy Recharge II
Energy Recharge II (or Energy Capacity III if already taken)
I mostly use the jetpack for getting away from hordes, trying to get some wiggle room to take out Spider-trons. I find that using it for offense, especially in later rounds, will often leave you completely exposed in the middle of a horde. RIP.
So that's my strategy, anyway. I think the fatal weakness of my plan is relying too much on being able to redirect arrows. When I swing my sword to attack something, much less turn my back to an archer, I'm left wide open.
First all the arrow block upgrades.
Then a clone. (if you die, get a new clone before continuing.)
Then both kick upgrades so that you can get up if spider-tron knocks you into the sawblades path.
Then jetpack
Then jetpack 2, full energy capacity and energy recharge in no particular order.
Then upgrade the rest however you want.
I got to level 14 (First Titanium round, then I got mowed by MK2 Jetpack Drones) like this:
1.Kick
2.Get up!
3.Block Arrows I
4.Clone
5.Jetpack
6.Jetpack II
7.Energy Capacity I
8.Clone
9.Block Arrows II
10.Clone
11.Energy Capacity II
12.Clone
13.Energy Capacity III
Then, I didn't pass round 14 because of stupid MK2 Jetpack Drones.
Yo guys is this the highest anyone has ever made it to? https://gyazo.com/d7b3a156425f279c8df8593160e66a72
Took so long to do but I think it was worth it.
Block arrows first - ALWAYS!
Kick/Get Up somewhere in silver tier,
Jetpack in Gold Tier (Jetpack 2 in Titanium, because I want to at least get the same speed as the mk 2 jetpackers for my playstyle)
With the exceptions above, I prioritize Unbalance/Good Form, because I use my sword a lot, even against the Mark 3 combat archers (just block their bullets and hope for the best, usually :P)
My only problem is the Spider-trons, especially 6000. Requires a bit of effort with just swords to cut them down to size.
And look where it got me!

I reached Titanium difficulty after 3-4 days of wasting my weekend and a few weekdays. ANYWAYS, You just upgrade objects that are deemed worthy. For me I find Get up, Good form and Unbalanced, Energy and Bow width And a few clones. I made it to round 15. So yeah.
WAVE 42! I have no idea how I actually managed this one. But it happened. Apparently this a pretty good score? Okay, so I found out some nice tricks. In order of what you need to defend against, here is what you need to buy in order (Slight changes based on what the announcers say will be next, i.e a clone for jetpack bots). Buy a clone around Gold Tier, if you die before then it isn't really worth it.
Deflect Arrows I, II and III
Jet Pack
2 Energy, 3 Energy
Clone (Buy the round after you die as well)
Kick and then Get Up!
Bow
4 Energy, 50% Energy Increase, 100% Energy Increase
Arrow Width I and II
Unbalance I, Good Form I, Good Form II, Unbalance II
Buying the second jetpack is worthless (A green jetpacker has never actually caught up to me when I've sped away) and I've found it actually even messes you up (you'll go too fast into saws), so avoid it.
Use your bow to rapid-fire at any Spidertron 6000's at the start of a round. In fact, don't use your sword on them at all. They don't appear until Wave 11 (Diamond) so you can put off buying the bow for a while. In the level with tons of saws in front it forces the sword-bots to come to you, allowing you to easily pick off those who make it past all the saws. You can then deflect at the archers, winning without barely moving!
Here is proof of my aforementioned feat - I took a picture on my phone. Jocelyn Sharp is a champ! She had a good last stand but she lost to a green jetpacker who killed his friend just to get me. These bots are dedicated! I got to Wave 20 before dying for the first time, and from there I only died to the occasional lucky swings of those green jetpack bots (They are EVIL! Your only strategy is to jetpack straight at them and hope you don't die). I have no doubts that were I to get lucky enough using my current strategy I could reach wave 50 or even 60.
Is this the highest score anyone has ever reached? I want to know if anyone beat this.
