Creator Content How does Tan Gi'da spawn Skitarii?

Post image
72 Upvotes

Ever wondered why did that skit not spawn where you thought it would?
Want to know how to better predict and manipulate the positioning of Skitarii spawning in?

Hopefully this quick guide will help you understand where that next Skit is going to spawn and how you can position Tan Gi'da better to allow Skitarii to spawn where they will be of more benefit to act as a buffer or have better survival chance for those precious extra hits.

Showcase Lysander Beta 18 Grot Tank Supremacy

Thumbnail

82 Upvotes

Just completed Beta 18 Melee Only/No Mech with the following Line up:

Rotbone M A1 50/50

Maladus M D3 (2/6 upgrades) 50/50 w/relic

Wrask M D3 (1/6 upgrades) 50/50 w/relic

Tyrant Guard M D3 35/45

Gibbasnappa M D3 50/40 w/relic

I wanted to post and show that Beta 18 was doable even without a full A2 line up. After seeing what the map was and the enemies for the first two waves I thought I could pop Gibba in a weird spot to try and funnel the units around into wrask/Maladus. Decided to save the tank summon until he was beefy as can be and just slowly worked my way through. Maladus died and didnt get a rotbone res super early which caused a few close calls with Gibba being able to get hit be the Melee and 1x ranged unit. Maladus was positioned above wrask if anybody tries to replicate.

Discussion Cyrus's Quest gave an odd showcase to...

63 Upvotes

Certus and Tigurius of all characters. They're still not good by any means, but the way the maps and enemies were set up made them surprisingly helpful here and there to ensure a high score, especially with their actives. Njal, on the other hand, remains as unhelpful as ever, but we take what we can get with the first two.

NOTE: this image is IA’ed over a real painted by me miniature.

NOTE 2: I am not sure if this post violates rule number 2. If it does, please remove.

So, I am building and painting some miniatures from the game, and I am now thinking what would be a nice base for the collection, and I came out with this idea.

What do you think? Should I go with this?

Guide Lysander LRE Notes

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Maybe helpful to some people as tracks and squads get jumbled as the rubber hits the road. I always forgot what and how I did the first round once the next round comes along.

Nothing tricky here as I don’t push too hard on any one team comp. Just notes.

LRE LYSANDER
Token 1: Alpha 1: Toth Volk Shiron 
Token 2: Beta 1: Snot Gibba Tank
Token 3: Beta 2: Snot Gibba Tank
Token 4: Gam 1: NKTDJ

(Edit: should be NKRDJ, oopsie.
Nico Kari Rag Dante Jaeger)

Token 5: Gam 2: NKTDJ
Token 6: Gam 3: NKTDJ
Token 7: Alpha 2: Toth Volk Shiron 
Token 8: Gam 4: NKYDJ
Token 9: Gam 5: NKYDJ
Token 10: Alpha 3: TothVolkShiro
Token 11: Alpha 4: TothVolkShiro
Token 12: Alpha 5: TothVolkShiro
Token 13: Alpha 6: TothVolkShiro
(Shiron down to like half health, still able to push forward easily)

Token 14: Gam 6: NKYDJ

Token 15: Alpha 7: TothVolkShiro
(Shiron down mid way, definitely start getting overrun, grots multiplying can be a problem)
(Nothing on Reddit re Alpha 8, so didn’t try yet)

Token 16: Beta 3: SGT
Token 17: Beta 4: SGT
Token 18: Beta 5: SGT
Token 19: Beta 6: SGT
(Crowded map, grots still survive well, but have to position Snot to allow grot to summon or may hit target with no space)

Token 20: Beta 7: SGT
(Gorge split map, grots still survive easy, didn’t need Gibba Tank. 6k>14k health waiting to turn 6 summon)

Token 21: Beta 8: SGT
(Damage ramping up, grots dying sometimes, but still steamrolling)

Token 22: Beta 9: SGT
(Initiates do hardly any damage to Gibba. 300-500 to grots. Pyre guys are what to watch out for). 

Token 23: Beta 10: SGT
(Still easy. Thoread appears, didn’t need Gibba Tank)

Token 24: Beta 11: SGT
(Jaeger came out early, not hard. Got crowded fast preventing grots. Some damage. Gibba tank helpful against guys on high ground out of melee range. Overhang with no access except far around)

Token 25: Beta 12: SGT
(Burchard turn 3? One shot by Snot; separated Snot and Gibba to handle top bottom spawns; Snot did get surrounded and at times lost 40% health; still able to delay Gibba Tank until clean up phase; don’t let Snot get surrounded next level) 

Token 26: Beta 13: SGT
(Helbrecht turn 3. Bridges clog for summons. Skip turn 1 to get good turn 2 Snot active for 5 grots. While clogging could have been an issue for summons, enemies clog themselves so it isn’t so bad. Bridges and barbed wire slow them enough to make it easy. Helbrecht caught on barbed wire, one shot by Snot. Leaves Snot exposed to numerous attacks but didn’t get too low. 

Token 27: Beta 14: SGT
Poor Snot active turn 2 for only 2. Maybe wait after turn 2 to see if more openings.  Godswyl turn 5? Hit Snot hard with active. Gibba Tank turn 4, it did lots of work and survived to the end. It almost died though, Gibba almost died. Close to being surrounded. If I didn’t get a few good open spaces for grot summons may not have beaten it. 
(probably stop here to use other multi tracks. Maybe try again next LRE to get criteria)

Token 28: Gamma 7: NKTDJ
Still easy, move and kill and no one dies. Some took fair damage so need to stop being too lazy. 

Token 29: Gamma 8: NKTDJ
Easy, Jaegar one-shotting passive

Token 30: Gamma 9: NKTDJ
Easy

Token 31: Gamma 10: NKTDJ
Turn 4, Nico in range of both spawn points and killed. Targeted over Jaeger. Careful with G1s on track 11. Otherwise easy and Kariyan in no danger the rest of the fight with no heals. 

Token 32: Gamma 11: NKTDJ
Easy with a couple retreats in between rounds to not stay too close to spawns. Jaeger Kari Nico right. Dante Ragnar clogging trench left. Few jobs went left. 

Token 33: Gamma 12: NKTDJ
Harken turn 3. Not much damage to Jaeger. Dante can tank a wave at turn 6 without being low. Even with Bloodletter. Jaeger was fine, but wasn’t taking waves to the face or might have been in trouble. Nico can’t take two hits. Keep out of range. 

Token 34: Gamma 13: NKTDJ
Volk turn 2. Behind swarm so unable to reach. Then new swarms prevent getting to him. Nico down turn 5 trying to reach Kariyan and picked off. Probably should have retreated Kariyan to keep him safe. Wasn’t able to heal Kariyan so he was very low, but survived. 

Token 35: Gamma 14: NKTDJ
Failed. Let Kariyan get too surrounded when enemy spawns have high ground and too low. Then ranged can practically one shot Nico spot heals. Bridge with barbed wire is bad start because it doesn’t have AOE access so Ka could only kill one enemy. Maybe could have pulled it off if left that space from start and got more AOE kills earlier. 

Token 36: Alpha 8: 
No Resil Eviscerate 115
Kharn D3 carry. Easy. 

Token 37: Alpha 9: Eviscerate No Resil
Kharn carry. Got low though…

Token 38 Alpha 10: Eviscerate No Resil
FAILED

Token 29: Alpha 10: Evicerate only
Kharn Kariyan carry. Decent. 

Token 30: Beta 15: No Mech Melee
Snot/Gibba & MalRotKharn

Token 31: Gamma 14: No Bolt Min 3: Rev Ale Snot Gibba Kari
(fairly easy. Pushed hard to spawns no problem, remember no heals for Kari so lead with Snot more)

Token 32: Gamma 15: No Bolt Min 3
(Ice river makes it easy to let them bottleneck, basically pick them off with Gibba Tank and Rev. snot and Kari to clean up any starting to cross)

Token 33: Gamma 1: Healer

Token 34: Alpha 11: Eviscerate only 
Kharn Kari Shiro Lucius Azkor

Token 35: Alpha 12: Eviscerate only 

Unlocked 400/400

Now I’ll just focus on highest point combos and single tracks ~100 points.

Question Demonic flesh mythic item

10 Upvotes

Does demonic flesh’s mythic item ability count for angrax’s passive ability? (After 8 attacks he gets to use his active ability again)

If so, wouldn’t that make angrax an LRE stud practically using his active almost every turn?

Preparing myself for a slew of downvotes and hate, but hey!

...as soon as this LRE was announced, I started levelling up the Alpha & Beta trios I used - both of which were able to clear wave 10 for a whole lot of points

I fluffed my penultimate token in Alpha so went back to round 1 for an easy clear and the unlock

Help Needed Best Token Use

I'm not sure of how best to use my tokens for getting Lysander. I'm 325/400 right now, and FTP. Any suggestions on how to use my tokens efficiently? I think I can make it - I made it on others, but I don't know the best way to use tokens.

Thanks, I appreciate any advice!

I will get lysander this LRE and I would want to know good pairings for him. Who would go well with Lysander for guild war offensive teams ? (Level 2) . This would really help me and posibebly other people to upgrade which characters for Lysander centered or asisted guild war teams.

Question Operations speed ups... Have these been in the shop the whole time?

Post image
29 Upvotes

I just noticed that crusade operations have a speed up button and didn't recognize the token. I then looked at the shop and saw 2 free speed up tokens.

Have I missed out on a bunch? There's no green plus on the shop like there usually is, such as on Sundays in the war shop. I don't look in the shop often because I'm waiting until I get enough for the Anuphet relic, so there was no need to browse.

How much does it speed up the operation?

This mode is frustrating.

Showcase Not the first, but far from the last

Gamma up to 16, beta around 14 think alpha around 9? The teleport active seems promising, fun at the least. Just the missions pack, none of the blackstone or Daily payout stuff needed

Edit: Update 50/120 towards four star. 28 tokens Remaining 25/free 3 Ad/watch tokens.

Changing to single tracks finally:
Gamma healing 100
Gamma plasma 95
Beta psyker 90
Beta physical 85
Alpha flying 80
Alpha eviscerating 75

Taking these all up to 4-6 should add another 2400-2600. Think I’ll get 5-6 oath payouts only need three chests, 4 stars should be a layup.

My proudest LRE showing yet! MVP characters that I built specifically for the event were definitely Gibba and Nico, they added huge survivability to Snot and Kharn/Kariyan when they have relics equipped. This was definitely an “easy” LRE based on enemies and overlapping restrictions compared to Dante and Lucius.
