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.

Autobot Hoist and his Decepticon counterpart Crankcase were first added in January 2021. The duo has a special ability called Engineer’s Touch that reads, “For 10 secs, you and your allies attack a percentage faster and receive some health every second.” So which Power Cores are best for Hoist & Crankcase and ensure this special ability is enhanced?

Best Power Core for Hoist & Crankcase:

Special Command – Attack – Looking at the stats and the special ability, Hoist & Crankcase have the lower Health and higher DPS stats that are commonly seen in Gunners and some select Special bots in TFEW. Since their special ability impacts the attack speed and health of these bots and their allies, using a power core that enhances the bot’s health or damage, or the health or damage of their allies is the best route to take. The Special Command – Attack squad core is, in my opinion, the best non-Prime Core fit for Hoist and Crankcase as it adds health to the equipped bot and increases the attack damage of all other special bots on the battlefield.

Other Cores: Special Command – Flak Jacket, Vitality, Attack, Rejuvenate
