Pigbuster posted:I kinda like the FTL final boss because of how it's the same every time, so runs become a matter of putting together a kit that can handle its most dangerous parts, and that kit can actually be pretty varied. Most roguelite bosses are either the same monotonous routine every time (Spelunky 2) or are surprise hard counters to the build you've been having fun with the whole run (Time Eater while using a 0-cost spam deck in StS), but FTL's boss being consistent while having multiple solutions really works for me. It's not perfect by any means, though - cloaking is so effective against every phase I feel obligated to take it every time, and as others have said the first time you fight it is an extremely rude awakening. This is what I love about FTL. You are limited in your choices (you can only have three systems!), but you have a clearly stated goal. Once you've seen the mother ship for the first time, anyway. You need to shut down that loving missile launcher as fast as you possibly can, which means dealing with its shields. Unless you brought two Mantis boys. Cloaking is a good choice, but if you get the Zoltan shield that takes away some of pressure. But the stupid attack in phase three takes too long for the Zoltan shield to really be effective there, so that is why I want cloaking if I can get it. Also, you can set things on fire. Multiple things. And it kills the bad guys dead. With fire. edit living the DREAM

Rift Wizard 2 development starting to pick up a little steam: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2058570/view/4196867895981489776quote:New Spell: These new hats are way cooler than the "redeal damage as different flavor" caps.

Regarding the FTL boss: last time I played, the AI that takes over when you kill all the crew is incapable of fixing hull breaches. And the game requires breaches to be fixed before systems in the same room can be fixed. So what I'm saying is, if you have a Breach Bomb and enough ammo, you can just kill everyone and then bomb the boss into oblivion. I used to have a screenshot of an Easy run where every tile of the ship was breached.

I used to have a screenshot of an Easy run where every tile of the ship was breached. Breaches are extremely powerful. But on the other hand, you could just set the whole thing on fire. The AI boss tries to fix fires, but it isn't very good. Just don't set fire to their oxygen system! Plus, you kinda want to murder their crew before they move on to the phase where they get a teleporter. Fire kills filthy humans dead.

What's a good build to carry me through early cycles in Achra? I'm on Cycle 3 right now and struggling but I think I'd enjoy the game more and have an easier time with it on the higher cycles where you can put a build together faster

Captain Foo posted:Nice! How’d the flail work out? I haven’t actually gotten a build that would make use of it to pick it up yet I only picked it up for the astral resistance really. The most amusing thing it did was nuke one of my skelly servants for a quarter of a million damage though lol

What are good Achra builds to rack up huge numbers for those damage achievements? Seems to me like there's a million different instances of damage you can stack, but not so much multipliers that would generate massive single hits.

Seems to me like there's a million different instances of damage you can stack, but not so much multipliers that would generate massive single hits. I'll look it up for you but there's a poise build + a psyblast (helm I think) That lets you stack poise to effectively infinity (it doubles every stand still) and then brain blast enemies for that amount - you build stacks by hiding behind your summons until the stacks are high enough and then just go for a stroll. It's also an insanely strong build for just pushing the Muqbara in general I think I hit 8+ with it.  I'll pull the character up when I get home.
