Super Boost In = Super Candy Store... boy, did it take a while to set that team up! It would be nice if there were a way to take a screenshot of my current squad, gear, talents, attributes, skills.... I'm sure it would be a very busy screen. Gear would probably need abbreviations. Maybe, just text like this: Captain (Mortem): At:6,2,3,8,3 Sk:4,9,3,4,3 Tal:S3,PF1,CC1,FG1,PN1,WW1,D0,H0,BW1,AF0 Gear:Cap Blade, Heavy Plasma, Aug Command Leviathan, Swift Kit Engineer(Roustan): etc... Or at least a summary screen of gear, talents, attributes, skills for a single Templar. Right now, I would have to take multiple screenshots per Templar. Maybe something like this so it shows everything on one screen. Also, Captain's Blade text is running off the side of the screen.  |

jknut - sick post! Very nice work on the build. We are working on ways to make it fun and easy for you to share your builds - can't wait to roll this one out. We've got the text overlapping / run-off issues on our list to fix.

Bought as much as I could. Emphasising all the captain, soldier, and paladin buffs and talents and got the best gear available. Lasted 3 rounds on the easy mission on easy.
At least I'm consistent.....

I'm going to say he got popped by a Goliath. Those things have gotten tougher in this update I think. Definitely feels like it.

I'm pretty sure the last update made onyxia use deep breath more.

Who died? Everybody. It took concentrated fire from all three templar just to bring one down before the scouts bought it leaving the captain with maybe 5% up left. That was contact plus two rounds.
Its a damn good thing that I'm better with Photoshop.

dayan - any idea what type of xeno it was? What level? Sorry to bug you, just trying to understand how the experience can be so raw. We can't have this happening to first time players.

That first Goliath on Hard for my Super Boost In was tough. Initially, I thought how much tougher the Xenos were, but I forgot that I was now a higher level and the Xenos are even higher.

I'm on Gates of Stratos on Hard with a Super Boost In team. I'm using similar build strategies to the last alpha where I thought I was doing pretty well, but now it's really tough.
For example:
- Goliath hits my Hydra twice for 80% loss of HP
- Spitter shoots twice and blows up my turret
- 50% ranged misses on Soldier (strength 9, gunnery 6, warrior 7 using HL)
- Turrets often doing only single digit damage
In summary, Hard now seems to be much harder than before. I'll probably start over the Boost-In on Normal and see how it goes.

I gave the level another run on Hard and passed in 9 turns, but it was tough.
I respec'd my soldiers for more evasion and focused on ranged stats only (no grapple, sad) and also gave my captain more evasion and solely melee focus for the solo run to the switches.

Attacking a single Goliath (Hard, Fall of Team Statos, turn 8) :
Scout fires 2 shots on MK6 with Headshot 4 - both miss!
Neptune fires 1 shot on Full Auto 4 - miss!
Soldier fires 1 shot on Burst Fire 4 - miss!
and did I mention there are two more Goliaths behind this one coming at my TP?
Ugghh. Tough...

Check your builds -- you shouldn't be missing that much unless you've got issues. Pre-curse attackers should probably aim for 14+ primary attack pool. |
