I feel like I go through cycles with this game. I'll have one or two sessions where I'm just wrecking house. Then I'll play five in a row where I'm convinced that I clearly no longer understand how the game actually works.

Popular Hero sucks when its on a pilot who's core to your strategy (Silica when he's piloting the Bomber Mechs' bomblette throwing bot so you can get up to 4 walking bombs a turn) Popular Hero is great when it's on a generic dude or someone who's power you don't care about. Popular Hero is hilarious when you get them on the free dude offered when you get a perfect island. Lemony posted:I feel like I go through cycles with this game.

Rock a run or two and then you just can't get anything off of the ground. Been trying to get the Flame Behemoths up and running and on the latest attempt I just facepalmed as they gave me the lady who gets Boost on Kill. For the Flame Behemoths: the team that basically does gently caress-all direct damage and mainly coats the map in fire.

I have a dilemma: Camila Vera with +1 Reactor and Technician, or Archimedes with +1 Reactor and Adrenaline? e: I wasn't paying attention and left Archimedes blocking an emerging Vek on a kill tile

I've been going for 4-island Unfair clears. Currently on Blitzkrieg; the very first run went really well until I botched my game badly on the 4th island and lost it all. The whip mech can have some amazing turns, but then at other times is complete dead weight, unless I find a secondary utility weapon for it. Incidentally, I should never try to do the "defend satellite launches" mission with Blitzkrieg...

What is happening here? The unstable mech just sometimes doesn't want to get healed with nanobots.

I can't find it but on the ItB reddit someone worked that it comes down to how you confirm the attack. Double clicking on an enemy vs. hitting confirm or something like that.

I killed Kazaak with the Technician skill because I wasn't looking at a chain reaction  But, it forced my hand and now I have Camila with Skilled and +1 reactor, and who doesn't love Camila?

I rolled Mafan who is Invulnerable, and gives a +1 reactor on top of his +1 reactor. Is it possible to kill him? I guess we'll find out

I got Bethany Jones with Technician and Finisher and yeah, "can you even die?" is an actual question. Especially in the RST push mech that can re-shield itself. Kind of wastes Finisher but...immortal pushbot is immortal pushbot.

What I have learned is that the yellow shield passive that makes it so you can't hurt your mechs, protects against freezing yourself with the freeze artillery. Which is neat and sometimes useful.

Which is neat and sometimes useful. The ice mech is busted with shields. Bethany Jones in the ice mech was my cornerstone while I was grinding out the last few achievements and hidden pilots I was missing while getting ready for the update.

Got to the boss of island 3 trying for a perfect unfair run with riftwalkers. I failed, but at least i lost my skilled/adrenaline kai to make it really sting. I lost them because i had the pilot to repair after move so was going to rescue them, but they got webbed by the same blue jumper that killed kai lol. Had a 25% chance of resisting the 1 damage on boss level and didn't get it. would have been fine if I'd had the 1 extra damage from boosted kai too

I know most of you aren't PC players but wanted to post a Squad Mod I just made - the Tamed Monsters. I've been doing sprites for other people's mods for years but this is my first, and I'm super proud of how it turned out! You can download them here, though you'll need the latest ModLoader **KEEPER MECH** Stun Line - Shift Adjacent target away from their position in any direction. * Confuse (1 Core) - Flips target attack direction * Damage +1 (2 Core) - Attack now does 1 Damage Vek Bait - Deploys an armored, tasty bait pod in a nearby tile to draw Vek attention - drops A.C.I.D. in its tile when destroyed. * Pheromone Emitter (1 Core) - Bait gains an attack that force an adjacent target to consume it, moving into its square. * A.C.I.D. Burst (2 Core) - Bait now drops A.C.I.D. in adjacent tiles on death. **RAGING BEAST** Raging Claws - Bats an opponent to the side with bestial strength, sending them flying and confusing them. * High Angle (2 Core) - Gain additional range; target unit pushes adjacent squares in direction of travel on impact. * Furious Advance (1 Core) - Move into tile vacated by thrown target unit, cracking tile left behind. **IMPALING BEAST** Impaling Spines - Launches a volley of razor spikes that can either damage an enemy or lay a trap for the unwary * Barbed Spikes (2 Core) - Spikes deal 2 Damage, both on direct impact and when laid as traps. * Spike Burst (2 Core) - On KO, drop Spikes in adjacent tiles. **DEVOUR** The Beasts are truly another breed. Each Beast has their ‘Repair’ button replaced with Devour, which allows them to consume an adjacent 1 HP Vek - or building! - to heal and clear status effects. This does not consume your action, allowing the Beasts to savage a group of mortally wounded Vek before or after they move - as long as it’s before they perform an attack! **ACHIEVEMENTS** There's three Achievements for the squad - completing all of them will unlock a pilot to be found in subsequent Time Pods!

Find a strange pod, it's Mafan! And he's invulnerable  He levels up, and gets popular Welcome back to the team, Rosie.Seriously, the popular perk is such a poison pill. I've had a run where three (!) pilots got it in a row, it was madness.

Fangz posted:I finally managed to beat Unfair. Using a custom squad to combine the best bits of the rusted hulks and the mist walkers is insanely strong. I just beat it with a combo of mafan in cryo launcher, lightning mech, and the swap teleporter. I got the grid charger, bouncy artillery, and vek phermones as my subweapons, which meant i had maxed cores and grid in the 4th island store, and nothing to spend rep on. The combo is crazy strong once it gets going. Lightning mech is best when it can vaporize large piles of enemies, and because of unfair enemy stacking i was often hitting every enemy on the map with it. Cryo mafan is OP on its own, and has good synergy for preventing friendly fire from the lightning, as well as being able to take the occasional hit. Swap mech makes the whole thing work, it is super good for positioning and dropping enemies into pits, and also the only positioning i had for most of the run. Also trains getting doubletapped by lightning bolts so you can't protect them with an icy coating is bullshit.

Dunno if easter egg or bug, but in the latest update I saw one of those moths killed a 1 hp grasshopper with its recoil. That's normal, but the moth had a mini text box saying "And stay dead!". Then one of my pilots said "Hmm, maybe those two vek didn't like each other very much". So i guess vek can talk now.

That's something civilians in cities can say, there probably was a city behind or above the moth. That or the moth somehow became a city for a split-second.

I like the lore implications of Tunicate's theory better what if the vek are actually far future evolutions of the mechs, with the secret squad eventually getting out of control, travelling back in time, and becoming the vek. just a game theory Fangz fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Oct 22, 2022 |
