AVATARS

A quick edit: Before you start saving, you have to make a major decision.  Pretend you're playing one of those RPG's where the opening decision (do you go with Ryogo or not?) affects the path of the entire game.
In gunbound, that decision is avatar on or off.  Avatar off servers give you balance, plenty of people to play against, fair games, and the chance to buy outfits just for good looks.  Avatar on allows you to kick ass with stat advantages, but only after you've saved up for a long long time, plus if you're playing in avatar on while you're saving up, it's a difficult path and you'll get raped a lot by people with
better equipment and/or more skill.
So which will it be?  If you decide avatar on, read the rest.
If you decide avatar off, buy whatever you want... it really doesn't matter at all.
Buy for looks or buy a gold suit so that later you can save up for a style suit faster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hasn't avatar stuff been posted before?  I guess not yet.

Star = popularity, which means money.  Each star increases gold earning by 1% for all gold you earn in the game (including win bonus).

Shield = defense, which is very very important to boost.

Sword = attack, also should be boosted (but defense comes first).

Heart  = lifebar, not nearly as important as defense.  In fact don't worry about it much.

Shovel = how big the holes your shot makes can get.  Not very important to boost, though maxing it out is fun and sorta strong.

Orange hourglass = reduces the delay between shots, so your turn can come up faster.  The amount you can reduce is pretty small, so don't worry about maxing this out.  Having a little is useful.  

Blue hourglass = reduces the delay you get from using items, also can allow you to get your turn to come up faster.  Completely unimportant, don't bother boosting it.

Shield with blue bubble = boosts your shield regrowth, something that the bots with blue-and-green lifebars can use (but nobody else can).  Also unimportant, don't bother boosting it.

Focus on Defense first, attack 2nd, and you can pretty much ignore the rest.

With that in mind, some decent stuff you can buy early:
Hockey mask (6 def + 6 life)
Muay Thai Hair (9 def + 9 atk)
Heavy armor (12 def)
Golden Hammer (18 atk)

Total stats:
27 def
27 atk

and a tiny bit of other useless stuff.

Total cost:
198,000 ...cheaper than any of the items that make up a full set except for pet-01.  For a very strong item, pet-01 is pretty inexpensive, and once you have this decent 198k suit, you might want to sell your hockey mask and start saving for the pet.  Later you can save for the other
avatars that people call the best, like gold armor, chief hair, and robotX.

I never really looked into it before but there are some pretty neat stat suits you can make with the newly added Great Devil gear. One came out to 50 attack 24 defense and 18 bunge. Though I'd be kinda weary to put any significant bunge stat with attack. The reason being, lets say you want to dual with an armor, I believe the first shot would hit then disturb the ground too much making the second miss, unless you hit directly.

Im not really interested in stats too much though... I just think the current "good" suits look like shit, and they do. I mean, come on, A Native American Headress with a golden suit of armor?  :blink:

Right now i have a pretty good def set that i have completed

Armor- Heavy Armor

Helmet- Knight

Goggles- Hockey Mak

Flag- Ox shield

over all the stats are 39 def 6 stars -4 bunge 6 health
its a pretty good avatar set if ur on a budget and easy to earn because im only a silver axe and i already have all of this

instead of a knight helm..get a sensor helm.

Its only 7 k more and has attack as well as the 6 defense.
or even a safety helment, it has 6 defense but is 3k less.

When u say sensor, u mean laser right? If so, I will also go for laser goggle. It's pretty good with a decent price.

Decent is not = Expensive

[SLdK]

The sensor is a helm and the laser goggle is an item that most people use and have so i'd reccomend it
