Welcome to the latest in our series of articles about the Transformers Earth Wars mobile game where we take a look at the best Power Cores for each TFEW bot. While our staff will never claim to have all of the answers for TFEW, we do our homework and test out each bot to ensure we are making only the best recommendations.

Air attacker Blades and his Decepticon equivalent Dirge bring are bots that continue the trend of hacking and confusing bases and enemy bots in Transformers: Earth Wars. Their special abilities Safe Zone (Blades) or Fear Inducing Signal (Dirge) reads “Drop a hack bomb dealing damage in an area. Confuse the targets for seconds (reducing their attack speed to 40% and making them attack your foes).” That damage stat is what is upgraded as the bot and ability are leveled up. So which Power Cores are best to best enhance Blades and Dirge?

Best Power Core for Blades & Dirge:

Reflective Coating – Reflective Coating is the route I recommend for these two bots to enhance survivability when using the special ability. Given Blades and Dirge are not designed for high damage and instead to confuse the target they are attacking, keeping the bot alive should be your focus. If the damage was a higher priority, like on other aerial units, the Enhanced Ordinance would be in play, but the Reflective Coating is a more appropriate core here. A Vitality Core core be a lesser substitute for those with fewer Power Core options to increase the bot’s Max Health.
