@kaiji no that trick is for the hero (you) only. The allies can't do it, they only reload when dry.
@thehiman I suggest you play more waves before suggesting that. Gravity guns are awful at handling exploder/flying waves. And good luck hitting the parachute rats with those guns. You're not going to get enough exp later on.
@spacie: Bowgun is not the only weapon that doesnt need reloading.. theres also:
Rapid Bowgun, Wind Bow, Long Bow.
And then theres those where the reload time is faster than the fire rate, so you can just hold down space bar and u'll reload after every shot WITHOUT slowing down: Shotgun, Revolver, Hunter's Rifle, etc. Near day 300 ish you can even do this with a grenade launcher... fire out >2 grenades per second to wreck mass havoc.
Thats because rangers are meant to be horrible to start with but good later on.. when having a ranger pretty much puts all the party members in perma rampage mode.. And yes you're supposed to shoot the chickens.
museum is about 45 gold per upgrade (after subtracting upkeep increase) (with all medals)
sister is 55 gold
chicken is highly random, pretty much anywhere from 5 to 20, with breeder and chicken medals
Oh, and Bowguns and Windbows are VERY DIFFERENT. Bowgun shoots arrows across the screen in a straight line, hitting everything on the way with bow master skill. Wind Bow and Long Bow just shoot arrows in the normal up into the sky and down to the ground manner, usually only hitting 1 target. Wind Bow shoots 3 arrows at once while Long Bow shoots only 1.
@morlack Waves are random, and there are pure waves, so there is a chance of getting a wave of only spiders, and it actually hurts quite a bit because your allies can't really hit them until they reach the wall. I've seen huge dragonflies, but i've yet to see huge bosses. Personally i find the huge things easier for me to kill.. just because the weakspots become so easy to hit even with bad aim.
@Whiteace13
Revolver IS the best small gun. It has high damage and effectively no reload time (Just hold down your space bar as you fire, your fire rate stays the same but u reload every shot). It's only weakness is its 20% anti air, which can be fixed by having an anti air mod, or just getting one of your allies to attack air only with an auto shotgun or something similar.. or swap to wind bow when you need to hit air things.
adrenaline does different things for different classes..
duelist and sniper get damage bonuses from it
rangers make their whole party go into rampage mode when they get full adrenaline.
Getting the sword DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE BADGE. You have to use it and survive the 20 dragons that it spawns. The partner AIs ARE supposed to be that way, their aiming time speeds up as they level, and will probably aim faster than you soon enough if you're needing their help at day 10.. Seriously are you guys starting on hardcore with no mods and no medals or something?
Chosen one is 150 days in any mode.
Impossible is 100 days in hardcore.
How to play: Start with hunter on casual with ALL MODS ON. Unlock every non-hardcore medal easily.
Then use Sheriff and get hardcore day 20 medal.. possibly day 40 if u're lucky. These medals pretty easy to get and sufficient to make most normal games easy too. It's the 100 day hardcore medal that's pretty impossible without good luck (hence the name!). Although you could say theres skill in realising when you've gotten such bad luck its better to start over, and people with such skill managed to start over at the right points to get their medals fast ^^. (I used rogue for my hardcore 100, lots of money for walls.)
how is duelist a challenge? I played it all and i find duelist the easiest because of the absurd damage bonuses it gets. The only weakness i found so far is if u get a wave of exploders on the first wave of the round, when u dont have the adrenaline to 1hit them. Otherwise adrenaline charges fast with wind bow and then you swap to revolver and anything your mouse touches dies instantly (use autofire mod on the revolver unless you're the type that can spam press mouse buttons endlessly)
Answers to common questions:
Theres two pages on the tower upgrades section, the sisters/house/chickens are on page 2. You can make the game larger by using your browser to zoom in. You should unlock all medals on casual with all mods on FIRST then try for the hardcore medals, and then play a normal game with all your rewards. Ragnorak summons tons of dragons, so make sure you have a grail/or really hax weapons, or you can just shop it for nice gold at early levels.
On another note, if you have a party member with the Love skill, Sisters become incredibly useful.. each one gives you 55 gp per round, thats more than chickens which are like 10 to 20gp even with breeder and chicken medals.
Those dragons aren't armored oO. I don't think anti armor skills affects it at all.
On another note: Leech mods seem to work at random for each hit. So at higher levels, since each hit does tons of damage and will practically refill your tower hp when it does leech, its better to choose fast firing and fast reloading weapons rather than slow heavy damage weapons for leech mods. Bowgun is also good because it seems to treat each penetration as a separate hit and hence get more chances of leech mod working.
Erm, the previous comment was for people trying to get to really high days, like 150 for the chosen one. If you're not intending to go that high then you don't really need characters with endless damage bonus skills.
The monsters hp doesn't actually rise as fast as your damage does if you're playing it right... for instance... its day 229, and my duelist is crit hitting for 5000 with a revolver... most stuff has no where near that much hp. You just need to pick classes with damage bonuses (noble/duelist/sniper), with other classes like sheriff (keep stuff away from the wall!) and ranger (more rampage) for supporting you.
@TheeDastard if you're using IE8, adjust the zoom on the bottom right. if you're using firefox, theres a zoom setting under the view menu bar. Both will make the screen bigger without having the developer do anything
@cowciller The house is on the 2nd page of the tower. (This really needs to be put in the game help, i've seen that question asked by wayyyy too many people)
