Re: Technical Flame Guy

I think in future I would build B/C team technicals to be less reliant on rockets (and hence gear). Something like: FitH->Fort->Burnout->Form->Incinerator->Quickburn->BB. I played with this build for a while but ended up using no more than 1 burn on GOP late game but all availabe rockets were alway...

Re: Technical Flame Guy

Is the flame route practical/efficient for anything. I always have gone the rocket route with my Technical troops.....I find the rockets too hard to give up. To get close enough to use the flamethrower...I feel Assualt, Shinobi, or even Ranger would be a better choice. Thoughts? Pure flame/rocket p...

Re: Is there a list of hack debuffs?

Full Override makes controlling high hack defense enemies much easier reducing the number of debuffs you need by one or sometimes even two. A 150 Hack Specialist can 100% Full Override a T2 Drone without any debuff, 100% a T2 MEC or a Longbow with only Bluescreen, 99.55% a T3 MEC with Bluescreen an...

Re: LW 1.5 Grenadier builds

And to the question of BS being used to answer MECs: a Ranger with AP ammo is by far the most efficient solution to that. Followed by Sharpshooters. Not that it doesn't work but if you have a Ranger with AP on the squad, chances are its better off double shooting a MEC/Drone during that turn. I und...

Disoriented Andromedon shooting his acid bomb?!

Could anyone explain if it’s a bug or intended behavior.

Re: LW 1.5 Grenadier builds

Geez I dunno you guys, but I swear by my Sapper Grenadiers. They're basically my key combo piece to make my Rangers (even the OW ones), Gunners and even Sharpshooters be effective on timed missions. It does help that thru trial and error I've basically learned how every piece of terrain behaves aga...

Re: LW 1.5 Grenadier builds

CPL: Protector / heavy ordinance Always HO because of 2 fire at the cost of one (both - for cost saving early and slot economy - at TSGT when sting become available). And yes - it's probably the most powerful team class in the game. The best example is the 8-MEC pod which is common after midgame inc...

Re: Two Invasions in less than 10 days - bug or intended

I remember being in a scenario like that where I liberated and raised vigilance so much that I had +100 legions on the map by the end of the 1st year and I couldn't pull off good intel reward missions because every region was strenght 6 and over. I think I just abandoned that campaign; was losing t...

Re: Two Invasions in less than 10 days - bug or intended

Jan 08 - another (4th) Invasion in region that was under invasion on Nov15 - so the cooldown is indeed a regional. And couple of hours later - another Invasion (5th) was spawn in the region that haven't been invaded yet. So it's indeed possible to have multiple invasions at once. And that also means...

Two Invasions in less than 10 days - bug or intended

LW 1.5, Legend, 5 liberated regions. Dec 18 – Invasion (the second one in this campaign). Done. Dec 28 – yet another Invasion in another region. As far as I have red, there is a cooldown of 30 (?) days between invasions. So it should not be possible and I had to stop the Gate to answer it. Could any...

Invasion RNF – bug or intended?

Legend, Nov 15, Invasion, 30 ayys on the map. Turn 3 – rnf indicator is red. Use Jammer to delay rnf. Turn 4 – strangely Jammer is available – use it once more. Turn 5 – Jammer is disable. Turn 6 – suddenly 3 (!) waves of rnf were spawn… Without using Jammer I would have 1 wave of rnf in turn 4 and ...

Re: Rapid Response + Vigilance = are you serious?!

Going slowly through this. No more jailbreak/rescue this month - my last capture dark VIP even after jammer would cost me a mission/tons of wounds if the last rnf wave spawn upon me but I was lucky and it spawned almost at the edge of LoS. Officer with jammer is a must and luckily I have 3 of them. ...

Re: Some strange things

I would suggest to bring a technic with FiTH and mk2 gauntlet for dark VIP missions on high str regions. If VIP spawn in builings it's very difficult for sniper to get a clear vision on him and stay away of ayys at the same time - so blow the wall with the mk2 rocket (25 inv. dmg = guarantee breach ...

Re: LW 1.5 Technical Builds - especially LCpl perk

Napalm is very good for additional chance to CC if burning chance fails and panic is even better then burning as the target doesn't move. As for limitation to a flamer - it's not true. I personally prefer using EXO with +1 rocket ratehr then +2 flame for reliable distant cover destruction. At MSGT w...

If you're finding Legend too difficult, step it down a notch and try again. No thanks. I'm pretty comfortable with what I have and this is not my the frist campaign so I think I know how to handle most of this. I had those DE previously and even rolled RR in april once and survive - but not both of...

Lets take a heavy turret (70 aim 10 base crit) and shinoby (2 def, 50 dodge) staying in the open (+40 crit to the turret) wearing nano-vest (-25 to crit chance). As far as I understand base turret chance is following 29 crit 39 hit 10 graze 22 miss Then 50 dodge change this into following: 15 crit 3...

Re: Crit against 50+ dodge shinoby?

Heavy turret has 10 to crit not 15 and there is no crit DE yet.
Nano-vest subtract 25 from crit chance so even if it works that way turret still shouldn't crit my shinoby at all.
