Even though the laser pistol has low accuracy you can still get critical kills from it if you wait for it to cool down after each shot during the early stages. You can also equip it with an accuracy mod. But later onto the game (while focusing on your accuracy, cool and reloading attributes) the laser pistol is the most powerful weapon to have.

Hi,everyone. I was wondering which classes get the party skill that boosts the probability of good events about town (I think it was something like sharp sight,not sure).Oh,and to nectarine,so far I'm on day 78 and only have a 3rd level hunter's rifle (the same that I started with,of course it helps that it has 3 mod slots). The short answer is to focus on chickens and villa (focus on villa much more than chickens).

Oh, and don't give a rogue the laser pistol, laser pistol is so inaccurate you can't hit the blind side of the barn and doesn't take advantage or rogue skills like powershot or oneshot. Use a revolver instead and you'll be able to one hit kill most things, and using a single firerate mod on a revolver gives you a similar speed to laser pistol, just hold down the space bar and you'll never need to invest in reload.

>.< you people need to pay attention to the details on each skill, burst only works on assault rifles and machine guns/HMG. Also powershot is only for non-autofire weapons, since all machine guns are autofire, burst and powershot don't work together, it's either 1 or the other

Having 2 rogues isn't any more diverse than 2 nobles. Rogue's are pretty poor choices for AI's especially when you have one with low aim rate. You're gambling with sense 10 and luck 10, which works out well I suppose. Rogue's do have very nice team bonuses, especially Negotiator 10. A militia would be a better replacement for a noble since you get the advantage of getting love. Guardians offer love too. It's all up to preference. I prefer rogues with burst 5 and power shot 10. Assault rifles and a revolver is all you need to clear mobs and priority targets, as well as the ability to crit/headshot more and the damage outputs higher then laser pistols.

Forget about a diverse party. Get one sheriff with a high accuracy, cool, and reload rate, Chose wether or not you want to use a big gun, and chose the appropriate class. if not then you need teo other people who can use big gun to use a gravity gun. If son then you may need a rogue and the other is actually up to you.

@lightwired active is a party skill so only one member of your group should be focused on it--you still get the same amount of ap regardless of how many members have it. it's just a waste of skills to have everyone in the party maxing it.

@ lightwired - why did you choose to have 2 nobles? Wouldn't it be better to have a diverse party? As each different ally will give a more variety of party skills. Have you tried using 2 Rogues (for extra cash making)?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@ lightwired - since Rogue doesn't learn bowmaster the bow gun becomes much less effective later on the game especially against dragons, tanks and catapults. The revolver has a very high damage rate (good for critical kills and at the early stages) but it doesn't allow you to kill in mass later on. I found that the laser pistol is good at killing dragons and other armored enemies due to its high damage and armor damage. If you focus on the Rogue's accuracy, cool and reloading the laser pistol will be a very powerful weapon later on.

AP is so important in this game, for that reason, I'd recommend running 1 rogue, 1 ranger and 2 nobles. and max out Active skill on all 4 asap. AP is used for so much. Also rogue has Quick Eye ability which is very helpful..
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
My setup is: Rogue with revolver and bow gun back up, guardian with doc holliday and combat shotgun, noble and ranger both have gravity guns. My strategy is to look for weapons with 4 or 5 slots. Hard to do for grav gun, so they are only 2 slot atm.

I'm at day 78, non-casual with Rogue main, and guardian, ranger and noble. Just redid day 78 3 times in a row and keep getting a ragnarok dragon wave that wipes me out.. lol wish i had that elune goblet

Oh Another thing, during Boss Days you can just press "F" and all your allies will fire at will so it will cancel the unchecked boss attack. The "F" is also helpful if you have an ally focusing on air mobs but there are no air enemies around etc
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
One more thing, I find it useful if one of my allies have the attack Boss Unchecked. When the Boss shield is up, all the allies will still be focusing their firepower on the Boss regardless of the swarming enemies around it. So it is just up to you to defend the castle against everyone! So having an ally killing the other enemies when the Boss is around can really help.

You also need someone who knows the Active skill; Rogue, Noble or Ranger. Once the person knows it, focus on it immediately since AP is very useful. Before I upgrade the Villa, I will spend the AP to collect eggs, have dinner and rob visitors. Once I have the Villa, partying is then the main priority.

I said this before but buy and store repair hammers and grenades in your slots and keep your finger on the corresponding number because that is the only way to prepare yourself for the randomness of the game.

The only other advise I have is to plan your usage of money. What I do once I have a full party is to spend it on 1 chickens every day, upgrade to Lv5 Walls right away, Lv2 Repairman, Lv2 Trainer then Lv4 Storage. After that I will use the money on upgrading Walls mainly and then Day 30 something I will upgrade the Villa.

I am sorry also for being uptight but the people here just want to help. Anyway I am experimenting with Rogue now and it is a hard class to play with. I just got killed at Day 43 in Hardcore using the laser pistol and the BowGun as my secondary weapon.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
FYI the team that I reached 350days in Hardcore were; Hunter (Bow Gun) as the main character, Guardian with Shot Gun, Sheriff with Shot Gun and Militia with Gravity Gun. Each ally had a leach mod equipped. The reason I got killed because I left it on autopilot and when I got back I just saw a huge wave of running bombers covering half of the screen. By that time it was just too late.

@ Nectarine - A lot of the people here favours the Sheriff or Hunter since the Shotgun and the Bow Gun are probably the 2 best weapons in the game. Anyone who use them as their main character can go very far with them. The fact that you are using some other class and using Chain Gun, Grenade Launcher or Big Gun means that you aren't taking our comments on board and you are still going about your own little way.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Nectarine - the Bowgun does not get "crap" later on. I reached 350 something days on Hardcore using the Hunter and the Bowgun. If you fit it with fire rate, auto fire and damage it makes a very powerful weapon. The fact that Hunter can also learn bow master and engineer makes the Hunter a very good class, not just at the beginning. To be frank you shouldn't be disrespectful to all of our comments as we were all trying to help.

My Sheriff has skills like Dr Holliday(most important), Anti Armor (second 'most important', with anti-armor mod lvl3 you can do higher damage to armored targets than to other monsters), cripple shot (with that suicide bombers - especcialy bigger ones - are a piece of cake). With this build i could after day 81 to around day 100, taunt 3-4 times and still win without problems. I summoned ragnarok at day 110 (didnt taunt) and score perfect game.... Oh, and I order my team to fire at will and allow only sniper to shot at bosses. I hope this will be helpfull for someone (maybe keep it alive?). Oh, and sorry for my terrible English! D=

Now i'm on 113 day with my 87lvl sheriff. I'm not going to say why he's the best and i'll try focus on allies. First of all you need sniper. His weapon can be even lvl1, but it needs one mod - leech, and your sniper needs maxed out one skill - One Hit Kill. With this your sniper has 1/3 chance to score critical hit for minimum 99999 damage. With leech mod it means, that you can regenerate your wall no matters how damaged it is. And he can even kill bosses with one shot (even shielded!). After you have that dude, suddenly the FUN comes :) Besides that sniper i have one ranger - gravity gunner (with leech + da bomb skill), and rogue - second rifle man with machine gun (he's the worst in the team, but has skills like active, negotiator, threat). I keep him because i like him, but much better will be to have second gravity gunner or regeneration sniper.

@Toryama Duelists get negotiation and engineer as their only party skills, not just negotiation like you said. Hunter and Duelists are the only two classes to get engineer which is a must have skill for any team, unless you're a page refresher.

Damn,just got 4 large tanks at once.Also,just as a tip to noanoa,when you make a sequel to this game,can you make the critical/head shot/etc. a bit bigger? Even with maxed sense,it still takes a bit to find the spot (dragons are especially difficult due to the fact that I can't find their spot at all).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Ok, @ deathbyvomit888 that must be one of the "hard" waves that the game has in it.Like you said,they happen randomly and there is no good defense against them (unless you have,like,2 gravity guns).Same thing with midgetman71,that is likely one of the hard waves.

sisters are on page 2 of the tower upgrades (right side) dont feel bad it took 3 weeks befre somebody told me where to find it
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Nectarine : You're using too many weapons. I prefer Assault rifles over machine guns, but either one works as long as you max out Burst 5. Grenade launcher for those really big/tight mobs but those don't come around too often so early. Duelists offer only Negotiation for gold income, but it should be enough with your Militia's Love skill. Rogue's would be a better secondary choice, or a hunter if you enjoy having the Engineering skill.

@lightwired: you still can get the Ragnarok badge at the end of a day, but I think it's impossible without Graal. When you summon the dragons day is extended (I'm guessing here), so you need perfect timing with both the sword and the chalice to do this badge early. Still, it can be done (I did it like 2 days ago on day ~7 with sword and Graal).
Game is really hard, even if you are doing great 3 unlucky lvls/days in row and you're screwed. Kinda anoying...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@ Nectarine - just pick Hunter as your starting character and use the default Bowgun. With the Bowgun aim at the critical areas of the enemies for a quicker death. Don't spend on anything at first except for Lv 1 Trainer and House. Recruit an ally right away and save for 5000GP for Lv 2 House and recruit your forth ally. Also buy and store repair hammers and grenades in your slots and keep your finger on the corresponding number for quick recovery if you were to suffer heavy damage.

You only get ragnarok badge if you use the sword and survive. Also, ragnarok at end of day glitch does not work anymore. I tested that, day doesn't end if Ragnarok dragons are in play, so best to use sword at beginning of round now.

@ thedog377 Did you use it?You have to use it to get the badge.I believe that i put a comment on here earlier that said something along the lines of "Boss day+Ragnarok @ end of day + Holy Grail of Jure =easy badge (but you don't get the level up's associated w/killing the dragons)"

I restarted from the beginning too with no medals, using a rogue and revolver up to level 52 right now, on HC, it's actually pretty easy even though I've got terrible luck with allies
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I wanted to see if it's possible to play HC mode without any medals. I'm on HC day 85~ now, after starting from scratch. Took me 2 tries to get this far, so it's more of a challenge for those who are experienced at the game. The game has great replay value, and I just find rifle rogues most enjoyable.
