This game is just as good as MMM, 'cept for wave 17 of course, but like dz says, you will need mines. By the way, the laser sight is useful if you aim at the enemy first w/o firing, then activate the sight and fine-tune your aim. [the sight will cause lag if you move it around too much] This is useful for 1HK'ing units with the Ion Cannon. [the slow one that you get at lvl 1] And it combos great with Damage upgrade. Great game 5/5. Please rate this up so people who need strategies can see it!
If you use an item in the same manner as if you were increasing your abilities, then you gain the items stat boost. Keep playing training matches in the 3rd zone until you have killed 5 Death Shamans and collect their "Breaker" gear. Drag and drop over your abilities, and continue this until you have extreme amounts of magic and focus too. [This works best if you chose Gunslinger] Then do the same with the earth survival kit in the shop. You will be virtually invulnerable to all physical attacks and you will be able to sustain devastating amounts of damage, as the Breaker gear will increase your Focus.
That certainly upgraded MY heart rate............ I hope they dont replace the loading screen with it in later installments.. and then make you remove it by upgrading.
I just beat Entity with a time of 441 seconds. I used Psion Wave often, with reflection barrier activated all the time. The Green Betasize actually helps with the barriers energy usage. I had the Zennon Semicraft with the following upgrades: Armor Enhancer VII, Shield Enhancer VII, Guardian's Essence VII, Megacorp V5 System VII, Micro Repair Bots, Nilthillum Shield Multiplier [20%], SOLID Armor defence [10%],Cargo Expansion V [+7 slots], Megacorp Nuclear AUX, Missile Specialist VI[2700 damage nuclear missiles], Green Betasize IV [-25%], INFINITE BONUS, Z900 IV, Death Blast, Time Nullifier [My level time for Entity does not include the -45 seconds from the Nullifier] Anyway, this combo will defeat Entity in 7 minutes max. And I did it with the double fire powerup.
The Epic Equation: Baron defeated=Agile Exposure+Deep Burning+Holy Scars@40000hp.
Use Agile Exposure on him when he is near 40k HP then the next turn use Disrupt to kill his Focus. USe Agile Exposure again after that and he will deal 7-12k to himself. You might get lucky and he will use holy scars while he still has the deep burning debuff. If that happens you will have done the match in half the time, as he will deal 35k to himself, killing him if he did 7k on the previous turn at 40k health.
I just got a huge glitch after playing Oozee's save game for a bit. I got destroyed by the simulation of Entity, but after I loaded my own savegame, I still had Oozee's ship, the Dennon Semi-Craft. Thanks for the save games, people!
