Adra'Melek Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Funnily enough as soon as I posted about not getting any Mark IV stuff, I get a blood angel Stern Guard and a bolter. Combined I have 30% chance of 0AP for overwatch, increased accuracy with overwatch and a 5% health recovery for each kill. Also he has the black rage (which sometimes has his targeting things well out of range). Doing the Burnt Bridges on Normal to get him some experience and he's easily killing 4-5 enemies in overwatch a turn (if they show up).

Flint13 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Awe, I really want a lvl 4 Tactical and bolter. I only have a single Wolf Guard using a derpy mastercrafted grav >_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311192-deathwatch-is-out-for-ios/page/7/#findComment-4144585 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reyner Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I need to buy this game. It should run fine on an iPad Mini 2 right? :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311192-deathwatch-is-out-for-ios/page/7/#findComment-4145414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercus Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Does anybody else find lascannons useless? They pretty much splat anything they hit, but because they take 3ap to fire, they're strictly one shot per turn, even when stationary. Added to that, the slow rate of fire means that you score less kills, so acheive less experience points. I'm finding this particularly galling because my last two card packs included a "god hammer" lvl 3 Lascannon, and a level 4 long fang ancient with the las-weapons specialisation skill. I honestly think I'm going to stick with my lvl1 ultra dev with heavy bolter, because he's accrued so many skills and buffs now that he's outshooting the long fang by 3 or 4 to one.

There is a lvl 4 ML that gives you extra AP. My lvl 3 BA Dev has got Scout, Prep and...Charge? So I can get up to 8 AP easily. If there is no such Lascannon...then yeah I dont know that I would use it, but I dont have the Marine to max it out either. I've got 2 Godhammers...doing nothing. :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311192-deathwatch-is-out-for-ios/page/7/#findComment-4147019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercus Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I've gone back to my lvl 1 heavy bolter guy. He's about a level 24 now, so his accuracy and critical stats are great. He's one hit killing anything up to a warrior and blasting chunks out of anything bigger. Finally found an apothecary too, which helps to keep my guys in the game a bit more.

Kilofix Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 The LasCannons are overkill on Normal when you're advancing quickly. But when you get to Heroic and the Gaunts have 400hp, the Exocrines have 2500hp and the Warriors have 4000hp, the Las's (and for that matter Melta / Plasma) Crit Damage helps. But it does mean you have to advance much slower.

Scribe Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I dont think my Blood Angels have what it takes. Last 2 missions on Vet, and I just cannot deal enough damage, nor soak enough to get the fists through enough of the bodies. I did so much XP grinding and I still only have 2 LVL III Ultras.../crying.

Adra'Melek Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm struggling as well (4 Blood Angels). I just can't kill them fast enough and keep getting swamped. If I stop trying to kill them to use the AP to get to the target position I just get swamped faster.

Flint13 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Ah, see I had the same problem until I finally invested in the Freefire trait. An ultra and a wolf tactical firing Rank 3 boltguns at everything in range does a pretty good job of area clearance. The Blood Angels get that badass fury of Sanguinius trait with a 20% chance to return an AP for every kill. That and the "Charge" skill that gives you +2 AP but restricts your shooting would be the first place I'd start.

Scribe Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm finding the damage intake is too high. I went back several acts with a hardly upgraded Ultra's team (that I beat normal with) and Battle Bro's is just OP. :p I do believe the loot system is hardly random though, as my ultra team is now getting ultra loot and I havent seen a space wolf item in days.

Flint13 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 That sort of nudge to the loot generation system is something I wouldn't mind.

Kilofix Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Use the Grav Gun and Freefire to slow everything down. Use the Oath of Immortality and move that Marine up, so that he can Tank and absorb hits for a turn. Ultramarines also have a few toons that have Hunker Down which is 90% damage mitigation for a turn to Tank. You must have a Tank. Edit - remember Melee Nids will go after the closest Marine. Shooty Nids will fire on anything they have LOS on at the start of their turn, else they will move to LOS the closest Marine. Use that knowledge to funnel Nids through choke points. Don't stand in the open to try to LOs and fire at everything. That only works on easier difficulty. You must position yourself to funnel Nids through a choke point so that all your Marines focus fire on the Nids Vanguard.

Adra'Melek Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 What's the best way to get money to buy the card packs to recruit? Not going to put money in. Currently doing burnt bridges on normal as it's relatively quick (you 10 'coins' for each one if you sell the item). But it's slow going and I just keep getting blood Angels.

The system is no way random. I dont know the mechanics, and I dont care to work out how it works, but unless someone has a better idea, I recommend just playing through in order over and over. If you get a good drop, replay that mission perhaps. For grinding out XP, Burnt Bridges is easy money, but you will get the same crap loot every time (at least I do).

Stercus Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Burnt bridges is great for building up exp but it's a bit crummy for loot. While I managed to get my main squad totally kitted out skills wise by playing it over about six or seven times, I did get five lvl 1 flamers and a plasma pistol.
