Guide to get missing grade:
The most important things is to have at least 5 distraction and guilt below 5 at all times. I would even say that guilt at 4 is too much. Have at least two booze at all time, so you can use drinking to reduce guilt. Guitar does NOT increase distraction, so you have to use TV/video games to do so. Remember that with every distraction item you lose, you lose an action point. Losing one item is reconcilable, but lose two and you are pretty much guaranteed to lose. Once you start losing items, you need to grind guitar like crazy if you want to get missing. Remember that once you get 50/50 guitar, the game is over. At some point, you'll want to start neglecting everything (aside from red items) and just spend time with the guitar. But, I'll say it again, you need to preserve your items as long as possible so that you have the full four turns.
I noticed that I do significantly better when there are less than four players in the game. I just played a three-player Power Out with virtually no lag...
So I sent my Macbook for repairs, and all the time I was thinking about how much time I would lose when I could be playing this game. Today, I open up the game, and I realize that the gold-earning skill got me 207,000 billion. So it's not a total waste. You never know when you will unexpectedly leave the game.
Questioning the power progression right about now... Dragon Saber( the reward for beating 20 unique missions) is scary. With only 6 AP, constantly attacking with the Dragon Saber is enough to kill a Wanderer party. But it gets better. I just bought Adam the 2dArtist which you can unlock through the special mission. He has about 880 strength... Anyway If he goes on a long combo, then he can kill a Wanderer Party with 4 AP. Now that is scary.
Beating the Boop Beep bastard as a Psionic:
1. Use psi blast, 2. use DoT, 3. Use Brain Freeze( yes allow yourself to get hit by the stun, if it goes right the Boop Beep bastard's next move will be slowed), 4. Use weapon until you must use Atom Shield to block the attack move, 5. Use Forget Ion Cannon, 6. Keep in mind that the next time, the opponent uses his stun he will most likely heal. So you MUST save your atom shield to block the second stun. 7. From here on out, your strategy is to inflict damage while blocking damage with mana shield/forget Ion Cannon/Atom Shield. DO NOT use your Psi Blast for this purpose (aside from the first turn); you should save it to use when the opponent uses his healing move. 8. Try to save time by queueing up your moves. I actually prefer using the weapon over the DoT, because the DoT takes longer to cast, and I think the enemy's shield has a cumulative negative effect on your DoT. Good Luck!
Kind of surprised how easily I got the hard badge. Here are some tips:
1. When he goes for the laser, go on the opposite side of the laser for easy combos. But be careful to not get caught in the laser. Make sure you attack him so that he gets knocked back towards the middle.
2. When the bread falls, smash the tombstones for some easy points while you are waiting. Take cover when the bread does fall...
3. You are making great progress if you manage to get the spear before the boss transforms into the skull.
Just finished Engineer run. Here's some tips and stuff:
1. You can run away from the rune merchant and come back if you don't have enough money to buy all 3 runes for both occasions.
2. Try to save enough money/artifacts so that you have enough to buy a skill when you gain a level, remember that you get some gold for beating the boss as well. You can use artifacts you don't need as stable currency once you sell them.
3. Use all of your skills. Understanding your skills is key to winning battles.
4. Decide which enemy skills you should definitely interrupt/stun.
5. Conversely, it is a good idea to keep track of what stuns/interrupts your opponent has.
6. If you have trouble beating an enemy, take it step-by-step to figure out how you can improve your strategy. Stuns aren't always the best opening move.
Stay to the left of the center and you face high-bouncing but fast tangerines. Move to the right of the center and you face low-bouncing but slow tangerines. Pick your battles and you too can make Tangerade out of Tangerine Panic.
