    upgrades required for great bunker play

    hi
    I m sacpush level 42 rider anyway I am at this time at rank 7 in bunker and I want to at least go to rank 3 at the end of this season
    so I haves my bikes upgraded in this manner
    armadillo 10 10 9 10
    tango 9 9 10 10
    bronco 8 8 8 8
    jackal 8 8 8 8
    mantis 7 7 7 7
    marauder 5 6 6 6
    riptide 6 6 6 6
    berserker 4 4 5 4
    did not unlock phantom
    so all I want to know is can I go to rank 3 with these upgrades and I m a above average player and importantly I haven't spend any real money for any purpose in this game had to really work hard for 95 gems to unlock those island tracks so I think I m gonna keep playing this game for free till the very end
    so can I reach 3 rank with these upgrades or am I aiming too high
    Ps : I am really having hard time beating terracotta rider in the mill have finished all tracks except the mill any advice will be greatly appreciated
    happy riding fellows

    Your bike stats all look decent for competing. I would try to get your berserker upgraded a bit.

    Here are some videos for The Mill and The Great Wall that may help you find the route/technique to win. Also remember to use ghosts to find the best techniques/routes to take.

    As was said above, focussing on berzerker is the first priority, but getting all bikes above 7 should be next, and getting all agile bikes to 10 after that (I can guarantee any old-timer has maxed their agile bikes). Thankfully, the bike upgrades help immensely but there is still quite a bit of skill involved; its very doable to beat most people with a lower-upgraded bike.

    Are you getting any phantom-related showdowns? I have always wondered if the game was smart enough to avoid bike choices when you didnt have it unlocked yet, or whether they would bring them up to force you to upgrade it. . . . At any rate, the moment you do unlock it you will certainly get showdowns on it, so it would be best to build up a stash of cash/parts/gems to quickly get yourself to 4/4/4/4 the moment you unlock it, so that you will not be unfairly matched in the showdowns.

    nope no phantom races as I don't have 4 or 5 blueprints required anyhow will take ur advice in upgrading it to higher levels as u said but meanwhile I m being hammered now after winning 14 showdowns in a row as even though I m skilled the opponents have much upgraded bikes and as u said above I m now losing because of agile bikes ie mantis even at all 7 I m still losing now
    so will start upgrading them and shall save some golden tickets for aggressive winning 3 days before the season ends

    Well, even if you collect all blueprints of phantom, do NOT build it before you do full upgrade on all agile bikes. Otherwise you have to upgrade it ASAP to at least at 4, even 5. And Phantom upgrades are the most expensive ones...I did that mistake, and now is true that I win with phantom, but I lose with some other bikes that I miss to upgrade.
    Then, maybe you can reach rank 3 with lot of luck regarding bikes and opponents, but don't spend too much tickets on it. Save it for another season. Why? Because all those legends from last season now reside on rank 3 to 8 and you have to face them. Many of them have full upgraded bikes.
    Add some friends with higher rank and try to beat their ghost, before you decide to spend tickets...

    wow u surely r an intelligent and very skillful rider
    I m sure u will reach legend status man
    I can see that upgrading bikes as soon as possible without unlocking new ones is really a good idea
    I have seen ur stats and they really r fantastic for a new rider man
    hope u upgrade ur mantis and I shall do the same
