Smoothiedo, the whole game is random, usually bosses are moderate difficulty and you can win within 90 seconds if your lucky. Having really good turrets and ships helps a lot though.
I had the strangest experience I just build a constructor and got distracted, I lost my main building, but I didn't lose, and eventually won the battle.
Beat game took over an hour, half the time was on lv.6 which took about 10 attempts. I like the game better than than 2 and 3, the game kept it simple stupid.
I reliably have a difficult time when orange starts far away in a duel. I can't distrrubt them in any way since they are too far away and they can rush/spam goliaths which decimate defensive strategies.
Ragnarok seems much easier to use than apocalypse turret. The fact that the nuclear missiles from Ragnarok are often fired at point blank inside the enemy base almost guarantees your base will take no damage and your enemy massive. The opposite seems true of the turret, all it takes is an enemy fighter or two to be near the turret and blam you blow up your own base.
Every once in a while a duel seems nigh impossible. Lv.11 orange faction can rush quickly with Goliath and if they start out far enough away you can't turret rush. I find cloud faction duel to be by far the easiest. Pretty much impossible to lose.
Thank you very much! I call it Hat Wizard Christmas OST :P
