ARGH! Day 226, Duelist weakness: 1st wave was like 30 exploders.. no adrenaline to kill them yet x_x.. went from 176 hp to -86 instantly. Good thing its not hardcore..
The best skill is recognizing when you're screwed enough that its better to start over and retry. Also, you can play this game in IE8 and set the browser zoom to 150%, i find that makes it a bit easier.
Day 224: Revolver mk 29 with autofire lv3 mod... 9.9/sec fire rate.. 393 damage, and 478% adrenaline damage bonus. my cursor is a singularity of death.
and yet exploder waves still hurt like hell x_x
@CeruleanDragon You get weapon skills (eg small gun) automatically when you use that weapon type for a while.
Why would you want rifle on a rogue anyway? They don't get bow master so bowguns on rogues = bad idea. And bowguns arent very good for getting critical kills either. just stick with accurate small guns for more crit kills.
gravity guns are a short term solution, or for teamates, because you really need to shoot those parachutes for exp to level later on. And theres no way that slow moving gravity orb is gonna hit that. Combat shotgun on an ally that attacks only air is a bad idea too, because the storks are just going to die without dropping the rats.
150 days for the last survival badge.
every 40 days the round repeats the rounds 37 days ago (so each round actually gets higher mobs faster)
The trick is shooting the parachute rats for exp in the later half of the round, while stocking up money in the first half for defense/trainers/more money.
Also if you're playing non-hardcore and you dont get enough parachute rats, you can always quit and replay the level!
Use autofire weapons so you don't accidentally click outside.. for instance, using a revolver with auto fire mod means you just hold down the mouse button and the space bar for the entire day. If you go outside the box, it actually keeps firing, so you can hit even those pesky enemies that are hiding out of sight.
@xaxa yea i always felt that was weird... the description for the big guns skill says its for using flamethrowers, but sadly there are no flamethrowers :( At least, in my over 600 days/shop refreshes I haven't seen one.
another reason to use duelists:
Boss day becomes the easiest day, revolver damage is so high that you can pretty much shoot through boss shields. And my revolver doesnt even have damage mods on it yet.
personally i prefer manual reloading guns like shotgun and revolver rather than auto shotgun and laser pistol, just so theres no long reload time when a bunch of exploders could appear and wipe. And duelist has added bonus of never losing adrenaline with a revolver, so it permanently has higher damage bonus than noble. (Although it needs tons! of cool)
ragnarok is good if you're playing duelist, get to use all the dragons to charge up your adrenaline. but yea make sure you have a jure in case you cant kill them in time.
