the best combo for atropos is (in my opinion) (everything fully upgraded) lv5 red hull with 2 defensive lasers (those things that shoot down projectiles) leech bombs, 4 frak, 4 split, 1 acid and 1 affliction. (please like my comment!!!)
i cant believe people are complaining about hyperion. wait till u get to atropos. i nearly started crying when i got him to around 3 cm of health and his lasers fried me.
