Best team I've found is. Gargua for main tank jolkeaf for healing and damage Kristle for cc and more range and a Thundaga. Max out Thundagas damage and int and watch everything die.
Game is simple guys. Harvest entire planets before they get to advanced then reseed. Upgrade your stuff while managing this before taking over everything.
This game shop wise only counts your current gold so if you farm for items then sell them all you can get ahead of the curve and buy all the "epic" items. But it requires a grind.
I enjoyed this game. It reminds me of Starship Troopers. Only 2 things about the game i would change. One, the knife would disappear half the time in exchange for another gun just after i knifed a face-huger. Second, the change weapon system for manual is a hindrance.
