But they also do it for MY duel attacks right? I like duel attacks. When I'm doing them.
...this is what you're supposed to be using your useless characters for isn't it?
So the team up mechanic in Fates makes the "can I die in one turn" math a bit confusing. Its a big step up from Awakening's utterly broken win button, I'll give the devs that. But it feels like I need to either dedicate a character on a chokepoint to tanking and nothing else, or do Xcom style "kill everyone in one turn or run away" tactics.
Put one of those "underleveled but high potential" characters, a mage, behind 2 other characters in a 2 tile wide hallway. The only enemies are a mage and a cavalier who doesn't have a javelin. Mage walks up, hits my weakling, and then the cavalier jumps forward 3 tiles to stab him with a lance and kill him.
Has it officially been declared that this is the last game in the series?
DEADBOLT is an extremely challenging stealth-action hybrid that allows you to take control of the reaper to quell the recent undead uprising. Play and complete missions given to you by the mysterious fireplace as you become the avatar of death. While the reaper has an impressive arsenal and skillset to kill the undead, he has one flaw - he dies in one shot... leaving you with no room for error.
I married Oboro, myself. Partly because of the eugenics factor and partly because I found her somewhat charming, but holy crap does she like her double entendres.
On chapter 21. Is it just me, or does the game got weirdly easy after you promote everybody? The last real challenge I had was chapter 15.
I've unlocked the music that played during the E3 trailer for the game. And it's awesome.
The good stuff begins at 00:29.
I love your soundtrack, Fates. Keep impressing me.
If you want to clear everything, good luck. Xander is pretty much invincible unless you've been grinding like crazy.
The question was about clearing the map. Beating the mission takes a turn and is trivial, killing everyone... not so much. Xander wasn't too bad, but the other guy... he sorta butchered half my dudes when I tried to take him on. Did kill him, but the price was too high, so I loaded and skipped him on the second go around.
I just hung out in the starting area storm and archered the hell out of them. I'm pretty sure everything in that map is flying, and you have at least three archers at this point.
Anyone manage to clear Birthright 12 without losing half their army?
When a pod is revealed on the alien turn by happening across your soldiers, they don't get to attack. Just scuttle to cover.Had my first run-in with Chryssalids. Retaliation mission, naturally.What? I know for a fact that they will attack your soldiers on reveal. Its the reason I always roll with a bladestorm ranger in a war suit and hellfire armor in missions with chryssalids.
First impressions had been underwhelming because... well, I had a sniper grapple up to a roof to watch for enemies further forward, and he managed to aggro a pack of three 'lids to himself (and away from a few juicy civvies strewn about). On their turn. So all they did was surround him and stare menacingly because they could only use their "scuttle to cover" actions and not attack.
Ironically it can be a lot more advantageous to the player than launching an ambush, particularly if you're set up in overwatch. You get the overwatch as they scuttle, then you get a full turn of actions to deal with them.
If you're going to run into an almost always non-cover spot, you need to damn hit. Otherwise you might as well just shoot the alien instead of sword. Untouchable is a long ways off from squaddie and only covers one shot per turn.
The solution for this scenario isn't Untouchable, but Implacable. I can't remember what the other option on that level was though. Probably something much more useful.
Most of the tanks do have some way of healing themsekves. Only barbarian doesnt. And shes got aldrenaline rush, which is almost as good.
