![]() Like in the 1st era, I am doing one fight to suffice with shards and empty recolling up to recollection 9. After good positioning just SR spam.īecause theese eras are difficult in general and especially bosses, we skip them. If you doing this route like me, you will be fine, otherwise confirm that highest initiative difference is less than 10 (or you might not be able to get 2 turns). Prep order - look for 2 SSes with lowest starting initiative and place them on the 1st and last place in order. Sac remaining BMS to SSes to maximise dmg and equip dmg memories on 'Shadow Round'. I do empty recoll and normal after, to set up good fights order and easier fights in general. Go behind the boss with BM, so your SSes can backstab spam him. I am using 2SS + BM (prep order SS - Best SS - BM). I am doing 1 fight at the start of the run and insta recolling (cause it's easier, than do 1 fight after the boss), so I will have sufficient shards to recoll with skip and lvl4 daughters after the boss. Seed changes may result different results. You can follow him on Twitter to hear gaming rants and lots of random Simpsons references.Route was optimized for 0 "Origin" Seed. ![]() We’ll see how it fares when it’s out on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 in Summer 2020.ĭan Stapleton is IGN's Reviews Editor. Of course, Othercide’s rogue-lite approach that sends you back to square one with a fresh squad means it’ll need some good variety in these early missions to keep it from becoming repetitive. But once I do, I’ll unlock a Remembrance that makes all my Daughters start at level 4, which will let me use advanced attacks in the first few missions. The Surgeon is a tricky nut to crack, since my level 3 and 4 characters have had trouble swatting his minions as quickly as he summons them, and you can’t damage him until they’re all dead. The first boss fight ended my first couple of runs. And when their bigger, beefier brothers show up it’s time to panic a little.Īssuming you survive, at the end of each mission you’re rewarded with some currency that can be used to create new Daughters, among other things, and Memories, which are effectively gems that can be slotted into individual characters’ abilities to increase damage or boost other effects. Othercide’s monster design is very creepy, too, especially these impish scavenger creatures who come at you in groups. Eventually your Soulslinger wastes away… unless you feed someone to her. That means that abilities like the overwatch-style interrupt shot from the Soulslinger comes with a major cost: while it can spare your team from taking a high-damage hit from an enemy, you have to spend 40 hitpoints to use it, and that can add up with such a useful ability. When one of your Daughters is wounded, must sacrifice another team member’s life to restore them. Real mortal tension is created by the fact that there’s only one way to heal anybody, and you won’t like it. For instance, I once had a Blademaster with bonus armor and dodge stats from Traits who can serve as much more of a DPS-tank hybrid than the standard glass cannon role. The latter can grant strengths and weaknesses that lend themselves to different roles. Three isn’t a lot of distinct classes, but Lightbulb Crew hopes to differentiate within those with both XCOM-like binary skill choices at each level-up and random Traits that you earn over time. Othercide's monster design is very creepy â especially these impish scavengers who come at you in groups.The three character classes you build your (typically) three-person squad from are the close-up damage-dealing Blademaster, the tanky Shieldbearer, and the gun-toting ranged support Soulslinger. That’s a major tactical consideration that forces you to think ahead about when you can afford to extend yourself and when you can’t. On top of that, if you use more than 50% of a character’s 100 action points in a turn it means that Daughter has overexerted herself and requires twice as long on the timeline before she can move again. ![]() And if you don’t like that an enemy character gets to move before yours and you can’t quite kill them outright, certain moves, such as a shield slam, can stun them and knock them back a ways, or certain buffs can skip a friendly character ahead in line. It shows you who will move next based on each character’s initiative stat, which means there are no surprises and no guesswork in the tactical puzzles each level presents you with. Unlike XCOM or other rigidly ordered “I go, you go” turn-based games, Othercide’s turns are governed by the timeline at the bottom of the screen. ![]()
