Team members are essential to many games and one game where this is true is Storm8’s iMobsters real-time RPG for the iPhone and Android market. In iMobsters, your team is referred to as your mob and the players on your team are referred to as mob members. To play the game effectively, you need to know how your mob members are used, the factors in deciding how big your mob should and can be, and how you can increase the size of your mob. We have tried to answer those questions below.

What do you need to know before adding mob members?

• The level of the players in your mob or the equipment they own doesn’t matter. They are just a number to you. You are responsible for equipping them for fights.
• Each mob member can and will use one of each type of equipment (Weapons, Protection, and Vehicle) in a fight.
• You can only use 5 times your level on mob members. You can have more in your mob, but in a fight you will only use 5 for your level, so if you are level 12, you can only use a maximum of 60 mob members.

What are the advantages of having mob members and how do you use them?

• More players in your mob gives you a larger mob size, which when properly equipped means your attacks and defense are stronger so you earn more.
• When you are in a fight, either attacking or defending, the game will automatically calculate your attack and defense values ​​taking into account your usable mob members and their equipment. Remember, the equipment they use is the one you own, not the one the mob member owns.

How many members of the mob must he have?

• Players are grouped into brackets, which are groups with roughly the same number of mob members as each other. Parenthetical breaks for low levels are 4, 9, 14, 19, etc. Here are some examples and the advantages of staying on top of your supports:
• A player has a mob size of 4 members. When they attack, they can only see players with 1-4 mob members and only players with 1-4 mob members can see them. This gives them an advantage over anyone with 3 or less mob members.
• A player has a mob size of 6 members. When they attack, they can only see players with 5-9 mob members and players with 5-9 mob members can see them. This puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to players with 7, 8 or 9 member mobs.
• For lower levels, below level 20, stick with 4 or 9 mob members. This keeps your purchase costs and maintenance costs lower. The higher the level, the more mob members you should have, as long as you can properly equip them. This is because the supports start to open up more, so someone with level 40 and a mob size of 9 can be seen and attacked by someone with 10-15 or more mob members.
• At levels above 100, it’s definitely an advantage to have as big a mob as you can afford. This is because the best team for offense has better stats than defense. The bigger mob you have, the fewer people will be able to outfit their entire mob with the best gear, so you’ll win more fights.
• There is also a strategy where players will go with the maximum mob size that their level allows. Although they cannot equip them with the best equipment, they can buy lower equipment, but they outnumber their opponent. Using this strategy can be difficult because you open yourself up to players who have the money to better equip their mob, but for farmers, more active players, and players looking for a challenge, this strategy can be more fun.

How do you find mob members to add?

• There are many sites that provide lists of mob codes. Look for one that allows you to track the mob codes that you have added and also flag the wrong codes. This will save you time by preventing you from re-entering codes or trying incorrect codes that someone else has already dialed.
• What are clans and how iMobsters work
• Clans are groups of players who come together for the specific purpose of helping each other. Whether it’s answering questions for newer players, helping to retaliate against someone breeding a player, or identifying ‘cows’ for other clan members to use, clans can be a very effective and fun way to play.
• However, communication is key to the effectiveness of a clan. There are few, if any, sites for iMobster players to communicate privately and effectively with others. One such site is the Aygbatu iMobsters clan page. Your clan features are very new, but continually improve functionality. Several features that the site has that every clan should have access to are:
• Clan list, so people can see at a glance the different clans available
• Private message board, only for clan members. You don’t want other players, especially farmers, to know the codes of your clan members.
• Easy recruitment tools, to join, accept and manage your clan.
