Her scaling is fucking absurd, she can end up one shotting anyone on your team and shrugging off anything that isnt a huge crit, plus multiple evasion stacks

You can't kill her, because she's still alive a decade later, but you can finish the fight early by reducing her HP. I don't know if the cutscene changes vs. you simply timing out.
And remember, you don't know the power of the D-ack!

>>746582072
I got her to like half health, but then I figured I'd just focus on killing the clones. You need to cheese her evasion with things that strip it, eg. Cly's dart.

If I could redo this fight, I think the trick would be to bring a guy with a repeater and +%crit damage, a scoundrel, and a mech

Strip the evasion, hope the guy with the repeater gets the backup buff, then have the scoundrel put on vulnerability and mark the target, then try to triple shot crit her every turn

that might just kill her

When I was a kid, I remember how shitty animation companies would put out movies with similar names and artstyles to recent Disney films to bait distracted and ignorant parents into purchasing the films they thought their kids wanted.

I beat her with 3 turns left (2 turns but it was the final action so the turn count didnt flip over) as the game gives you a success state if you put her to 1/4 health

the trick? Cly and an Astromech
she gets extreme defensive bonuses (extremely high defense and multiple dodges) of which the astromech removes the latter allowing you to lay into her

the last person who attacks her taunts her, so always attack her last with a dart from cly as you can inflict shock (reducing her movement so she can't attsck you) and fly as far away as possible

and the electrosurge from the darts ignores all defense, so even though your guns are dealing 0 damage, electrosurge is so fucking broken that you can still damage her quite well

Weapons are very versatile and only sharpshooter class is railroaded into picking a sniper rifle. You'd think that pistol is good for gunslinger because of the ability that shoots pistol and returns AP if target is killed BUT that ability ignores the weapon mods and actually you don't even need to have it. When you unlock 2nd class I got gunslinger subclass for my snipers because of crit passive but they literally ended up killing lots of droids with that gunslinger ability.

Longarm for long distance crit shots (designated brap sniffer weapon)
Pistol for shooting B1s and crits because the base damage is shit (designated mando weapon)
Repeater is weird - it has high damage, but only if you spend all of the AP for it - I used it on Trick because it felt appropriate because he has 2 attacks per turn - melee and shooting
Rifle is ok for 99% of situations

I get that the astromech advantage skill is technically very strong, but man, until the end where it gives 2 AP for 6 adv. (btw great job having AP for your moves & skills, and Advantage Points which you'd also abbreviate as AP) it's just awkward as hell to use. SPECIALLY at the start when it costs 10 advantage. "Oh hey, half my operators still have 3 AP, and they're in good positions.. Either I overcap advantage by letting them shoot, or I overcap AP by using the ability now".
Also, since it's an advantage skill, you more often than not find yourself using it after using your characters skills, and for the majority of the game, getting 1 AP back is.. nothing. I don't use pistols, I need 2 AP to shoot anything, I'm sure it's possible to do good things with it early game, but so far it's kinda my least impactful advantage skill until I can max it out.

I had to google her also because I assumed she was a cameo character with her introduction. They do the whole "Someone is here to see you", and then walks in and the camera lingers for a few seconds like the player is supposed to be like "OMG GLUB SHITTO I MEMBA HER" and then Hawks immediately talks about how famous she is.

But nope, she is a totally new character. Bizarre. Feels like they maybe wanted to do Bo Katan or something and then chickened out when Mando and Yeed flopped.

>Rifle is ok for 99% of situations
Honestly this is what I ended up with. My Hawke is a scout, so, could I technically use a pistol and tag 3 enemies to debuff them? Sure. But painting 3 targets is piss. It already can be hard to get a hit on with a rifle, now my aim penalty is gonna be even bigger with a short range weapon? Seems to me the smarter option is to take the rifle, get a better chance to hit, and use astromech to give me another hit if need it. Does more damage, too.
I put a sniper on my sniper, but I haven't even tried it yet because I'm so locked in to my 4man roster.
See, online guides, leddit posts, forum posts etc, they all say shit like: "Put a pistol on gunslinger, scout, medic, scoundrel, put a sniper on sharpshooter, repeater on assault and heavy, rifle on soldier" and I get a feeling there is no cohesion or thought there on how the weapon actually works on the class. I feel like people are saying this, based purely on: "Well, in a properly balanced game, those classes seem like they would work best with these weapons", but then in the actual game, rifle generally works best with everything.
I might take pistol on some classes if it had something like: "Your first blue movement each round costs no AP" landing 3 shots with a pistol is not terrible damage, sure. But as soon as you need to move it really eats at your damage. If I need to do a 2 Ap move (and you often have to), I'd rather have a rifle shot after that for 1 AP, than a pistol shot.

Honestly, Andor is the only good live action Star Wars since Empire. And the only one with the balls to show the fascism of the fascist empire. I knew the sequels had the Nazi rally style stuff, but they just showed us bad guys in black clothes with red banners and said: "These guys are bad, you can tell by the iconography". Andor actually shows how fucked up and evil the empire is.
I initially liked Mandalorian, season 1 was pretty good. But in retrospective a lot of that was due to it being better than the last decade of Star Wars before it. Them realizing baby yoda is a super profitable marketing opportunity and sacrificing the storyline to say: "Uhm actually, this is now the baby yoda show, he's not leaving, he's gonna be here forever" really fucking ruined it. And also: What fucking retard thinks it's a good Idea to have ONE OF THE MAIN FUCKING CHARACTERS that left the show RETURN, IN A DIFFERENT FUCKING SHOW so that in his own show he's just fucking back??? Who does that? This is like the WORST way to do a fucking crossover.
You do crossovers to expand a little, have heroes and villains interact with each other. You don't put major plot changes into another stories crossover episode.
Imagine you're watching Buffy, and suddenly willow is gone, and you find out she fucking died in an Angel crossover episode.

It was nice of the devs to let us dress up abd recolor the donut steels. It makes the order 66 mission kinda funny, when your whole squad looks normal but Trick randomly reverts to his generic appearance.
>>
>>746588235
It's pretty shocking to see Trick revert to his default outfit, because the game remembers how you dressed up Jae, and keeps this outfit for her distress call

Wait, how is order 66 represented if you DON'T bring Tela to the mission? She's just randomly there as an NPC? What if you bring Trick, do you have to finish the mission as 3 guys?

I'm really struggling to find a genuine use case for the repeater. It's so situational there are other tools for deleting elites with scoundrel/astromech assistance that doesn't require you to forgo over watch and action economy.

>>746589064
nta, but to be fair, I also started ironman because: "it's an xcom game, you play on ironman". But now I'm playing and it's not really that much xcom. It's xcom flavor. I thought I picked ironman so dead soldiers won't come magically back. And I was under the impression that it would be far more likely that you get your shit handed to you on a mission and have to cut your losses.
Then I discovered you have what is essentially a "main" character and if he dies it's just over? Eh, that kinda sucks.

sure the game has cameos like anakin, rex and trilla and they could have done way more i'm surprised ahsoka isn't in this game but the devs showed restraint and actually added to the universe instead of rehashes like what everything else is doing these days

I know this game isn't xcom, but I feel like everything that is different from xcom, is changed for the worse. Starting with 4 vs 6 man squads. This is, I think, a much bigger deal than people think. Because the best way to experiment with new squad members, or try out new units, is to have a "core" team of 3 or 4 soldiers that you know can "carry" when you take 2 rookies. It's generally a bad tactical decision to sub out half your entire team, let alone 3 quarters of it. That leads to the fact that you have usually at most 1 slot, to try any of the 28 possible class combinations + uniques.
But let's be real here, there's a Jedi, a Mandalorian, an Astromech and buffed up trick, the only standard dual class combo you're gonna take, almost ever is Hawke.
If we had 6 slots, you'd have a better chance of bringing some actual hired soldiers.
And this also brings us to the "people don't die enough" problem. Losing a soldier sucks. But in Zero Company, if you have any skill in turn based tactical, you have got to actually try to lose a soldier. Which feeds into the "no rotation of soldiers" problem. Your guys never die, so you never take rookies. With missions getting progressively harder you never feel like "ah, I can take some chaff on this, it'll be fine". And I get it. You put characters that have story missions as soldiers. Losing them and thus missing out on story missions fucking sucks. (that's why story missions should be relegated to hub NPCs, and not soldiers and give upgrades you can use on anyone)
>the ability to re-spec
I'm an eternal re-spec defender in diablo style games, but in Xcom, it kinda sucks to re-spec for free. Re-spec should be an expensive bacta tank style upgrade. "Oh, I lost my sniper, with that great passive perk" Well, it doesn't matter, take literally any other recruit that has gained passive skill points, change him to be the same two classes, change his passive, give him the weapon, donezo. Same soldier with a new paint job.

>>746591775
I think the game would be a little better if your soldiers got tired from being repeatedly taken on missions, so you'd have to rotate them
But that would fuck with companion missions. Tela demands that you help her rescue the younglings RIGHT NOW, and insists on being present, but Tela can barely walk after being raped by stormtroopers for three missions in a row. Something has to give.
>>
>>746591027
to be fair at least it worked

trick was in a coma and they needed help, the only people who really knew about the chips and removing them at the time is rex or the bad batch

it makes narrative sense is what I mean
>>
>>746591775
The re-spec really irks me more than I thought it would. At first I was like: "oh cool, I can spend my points and not worry about ideal point spending strategies, because I can just take them out again". And maybe, it would be fine if it was Hawke only. But imagine if in Xcom, if you lost any soldier, you would just always have a backup, with the exact same rolled stats and passives and dual class abilities. It would make death of a soldier completely meaningless. And part of what makes Xcom-style games great, is soldiers having uniqueness, and having to deal with losing that unique soldier. If instead of having Jae, we'd have random soldiers that could roll Jae's execute ability, and you couldn't re-roll it, that would be far more interesting.
>>
>>746591984
Yeah xcom 2 did this, to stop people from repeating their Xcom 1 mistake of only ever taking the same 4/5/6 people on missions, having 1 mega super squad, and then 24 rookies with nothing in the home base.
I think both would be good, bigger roster, and more reasons to force you to swap soldiers, as well as soldiers not being able to just pick what they are. Fixed rolled class, fixed rolled second class. Roll a sharpshooter scoundrel? Score, that works great. Heavy medic? Maybe not such a great combo. But it would gurantee that you care about more about hiring actual soldiers.

Cly shouldn't ever shoot her gun, unless you have nothing better to spend AP on.

Jetpack her directly into the enemy crowd, dart everyone within reach, then begin shitting lightning bolts.

I repeat: if you expect xcom, you will be disappointed. This is not xcom 3, this isn't even xcom 2: star wars version. This is a Star Wars game with some of the Xcom elements, but by no means as in depth a tactical turn based game as xcom.

I think it makes sense for the game as it is. You have 4x3 AP each turn, the same total as 6x2 you get in XOM, but you also have call for backup and a bunch of extra advantage abilities. Having 6 characters would make alpha striking too easy and require (even more) hp bloat and reinforcement spam. You can make it work with interwoven turns, but then you lose some of the synergy plays you can make.
Though I would have liked to see a couple missions that you were allowed to have 6 operators and were designed for it, like siege defense missions where you naturally have to split the team to cover multiple approaches.

The things that are difficult, also are difficult for dumbass reasons. In Xcom/Xcom2 the difficulty came from a diverse range of strong enemies that had different rules for dealing with them. Fighting a thinman? Don't melee him, he'll burst into poison. Ayye is mind-boosting/manipulating something? Don't take out the empowered target, go for the Ayye controlling it, but be careful if you run after it you might activate extra pods. Berserker responds to attacks? Don't melee it, attack it with someone pulling it left, then attack it with someone pulling it right, leaving it as stranded as possible. Cyberdisk? Don't stack units or you'll get to know what your grenades taste like. Chryssalid map? Rescue the civilians fast, so that you don't get overrun by the fuckers, don't do it too fast, or you might get fucked in the ass by clayface.
What does Zero Company have? Resonance stacks. If you kill a dude, the next dude gets empowered. Over and over again. What can you do against it? How about a big fat nothing? The only viable way to work against resonance stacks, is to take concussion nades and push abilities, and just cliff-kill every single one of those bastards, which feels cheesy as all hell.
Also I swear to god, If I lose my ironman run at any point due to hawke getting pushed off a cliff by an enemy, I ain't starting a second. I'm re-downloading Xcom 2. There's probably a lightsaber mod for rangers somewhere. It'll be just as good as this.

There's something I always wanted to know. So Kamino made the clones. But when the jedi arrive to Geonosis, they don't just have the clones - they have ships, walkers, weapons, the whole shebang. Clones are completely ready for war on day 1.

The sequels suck, but the hate for rey hate, specially after the first movie was completely overblown. "Ooh, she's too instantly good at stuff". It's been long established at that point that force people are just magicially good at shit. Young anakin was winning podraces at 5 that grown ass adult professional racers took part in. Trained combat pilots were like: "That shot's too difficult to pull off", and hobbyist pilot Luke was like: "Lol nah, I used to do shots like that for fun in my shitbox while being a farmboy". Plus the whole "But she won against Kylo Ren, a trained Jedi!!" Honestly? Most badass Kylo moment in the series. The dude was openly bleeding out from a massive wound, literally punching it to deal with the pain, and still, he was not fighting for his life with rey, he was trying to recruit her, not to kill her. SHE was fighting for her life, HE was doing recruitment.
Overall, with the sequels, Rey being a shit character was a way smaller problem than everything else. Like them doing NOTHING with the Idea of Kylo idealizing his grandfathers dark side. Or straight up the biggest problem: Them not planning a story in advance, and going: "Well, figure out where this goes after we finish this movie". So the second movie goes: "Nothing from the first movie matters" and the third movie goes: "actually nothing from the second movie matters either". And then making the third movie is like 25 mini movies, that are vaguely but not really connected. It's so fucking dumb, for so many reasons. But for some reason the dumbest people on the internet only went "rey bad", when she honestly was one of the less bad things about the movies. Not great mind you, but far from bad enough to justify how vilified she was.

Kinda reminds me of how Jake Lloyd got all this shit for "ruining star wars" back in the day, when he was just a pretty okay child actor. He's not the one who made George do Jar Jar poop jokes.

I presume its just a kneejerk reaction to some of the shit she says and poor first impressions. She generally just has a critical tone in most of her dialogue and her initial dialogue is pretty abrasive but thats justifiable given the situation. Less charitably she can come across as whiny and hyper-critical throughout the game but she raises a lot of valid points about their current situation and the republic's misdeads and the harshness is more a byproduct of her dynamic with hawks where they freely criticize and tease each other. When shes not talking politics or talking shop she's a lot more affable and theres a reason she's got good banter with bennic

have you considered "Rey bad" is because her story makes no fucking sense? She's the granddaughter of Palpatine and the First Order didn't know about her. She has 0 training but somehow can force-talk with Kylo Ren, a grandson of Anakin. She does a bunch of random shit that makes no sense. Then somehow, she's the chosen one?

She's far from the worst thing in the ST, but that doesn't make her good.

>>746602146
>She's the granddaughter of Palpatine and the First Order didn't know about her.
I mean, yeah part of why I said I'm mostly talking about the pushback she got after episode 7. Where none of that existed. That her backstory got progressively more retarded with: "Your parents where nobodies who sold you for booze money" to "actually your parents were Jedi on the run" to "actually you are a Palpatine" is retarded beyond belief, because CLEARLY none of that existed even vaguely when they filmed episode 7. No question. But when the max outrage against her happened, that was not yet a problem. And when it was revealed at the end, that movie had FAR bigger problems than Reys origin. Reys origin was a "that's kinda fucking dumb" cinemasins tier problem, on a laundry list of much bigger, structural problems with that movie. Like, we have basic rules of story telling and movie making that were fucked in the ass. It's a bit like totaling your car, noting all the damage, and then going: "And also it's an ugly shade of green". Brother, that sucks, but that's the least of your problems right now. You know?

Also: don't get me wrong. I'm not claiming she's good. The sequels are not good. Much like the prequels, they have some individually good moments. I'm just saying that when 7 came out, people acted like Rey is like 70% of the problem with the movie, when she was like.. I dunno, 5% at that point, maybe.

I'm honestly a bit surprised that I don't see more chud hate for zero company on /v/, because I do see a lot of shit that if it happens in other games, there are countless threads about it, calling it woke garbage. But for some reason in Zero Company the consensus seems to be "It's not that woke". As a non-chud, is it because chuds expected a disney star wars property to be like.. way way worse? So now that it's just "a bit", you're willing to overlook it?
Because honestly, as a non-chud I think the game is kinda mid. Fun Star Wars stuff, not that great at being Xcom. I would have expected the chuds to blame all the things that suck, on the inclusion of woke stuff in the game.

>Funny, from my point of view, wokies write bad characters and claim the criticism is because chuds hate women
Wokie here again, I guess little bit of column A, little bit of Column B. Sometimes there's problems with a game or show, and a character not being that great is part of that problem, but chuds then act like that's the thing that ruins the entire thing.
Like, example: The Captain Marvel movie. People absolutely turbo hated Brie Larson on it. But really, her part was at best a minor problem, when it was just a terribly fucking written movie.
>>
>>746604265
Pronouns is a different issue since Trannies shouldn't be given a single quarter.
Why the fuck are normal people cis-man/cis-woman, but a tranny must be called a man/woman instead of a trans-man/trans-woman.

They/them and Xim/Xur are also retarded and never existed as personal pronouns.
The fact they want it changed is atrocious. There is absolutely no circumstance where you will hear your own pronouns. Because if you're around, your name will be used. The pronoun thing is an attempt to control people when they're not around.

>Why the fuck are normal people cis-man/cis-woman, but a tranny must be called a man/woman instead of a trans-man/trans-woman.
Oh, that's a misunderstanding. In any setting where you would specifiy "cis man" you would also say "trans man". Since "cis" is to specify "not trans", Useful for like, medical stuff 'n shit. You wouldn't introduce your friends like: "Hey this is jake, he's a cis man, and this is steve, he's a man" if you have a cis and a trans friend. (I mean why would you? That would just again pull attention to the fact that one of them was trans. Something that people who are woke generally like to avoid.

>They/them and Xim/Xur are also retarded and never existed as personal pronouns.
I mean, half right. they/them have been used as personal pronouns, it's also not retarded, it comes pretty natural. The famous example is if you don't know someone: "Oh someone left their umbrella, can you bring it to them?" xim/xur, the "neopronouns" yeah, those are kinda stupid, and in my opinion also just like.. attention seeking behaviour. But also not really something that's really pushed for. You see a couple of them on tumblr or whatever, but even in my woke ass spaces, I don't really know people who go by "xir" or whatever.
Honestly, most of the woke shit is kinda harmless. A lot of it demonized by right wing culture warriors, to be some attack to cuck you into submission or whatever.
Like the lie about "Toxic masculinity". How many right wingers to this day pretend like "toxic masculinity means it's bad to be a man. Being a man is toxic according to leftists". When toxic masculinity simply refers to the Idea that some of the traits that we assume men should have to be "real men" are toxic to men themselves and people around them. Like how "don't talk about your problems, push it down and be a man" leads to increased suicide. Not that being a traditional strong man is like, inherently bad or anything.

Visser killed Jae in my run, so when the game tried to make me give a shit about him I laughed.
>>
>>746606612
I took a droid, jae and cly
my strategy was
>destroy his cover with grenades, otherwise throw him out of cover with concussions
>get him away from the other coil before you finish off each one, i'm fairly certain their buffs go to the closest coil member so you want the generics getting surges, heals etc instead of him
>gunslinger ability doesnt trigger retaliate in case you want to put some shots in
>cly's shock dart (not the pulse to make it deal damage) is good because it inflicts shock, which lowers his movement distance that forces him to take more actions to get to cover if you blew it up, means less shots going into you
>>
Fucking hell, Dark Waters fucked me up. Went out with 2 injuries on 3 guys. Didnt brĂ­ng Jae and the Stormtrooper guy because i stupidly sent them on an operation, picked the risky option and picked up 2 injuries on them, so my team balance was shit but the difficulty spike was massive.
>>
>>746607058
so my turn strat would be
>droid moves into position, scans the whole area and throws a frag at him to remove his cover (or a concussion if he's behind indestructable)
>I had scout on jae so she scouted the coil for move advantage points
>cly moves into position, uses quickdraw for more advantage, shock darts everyone
>move hawks into position, quickdraw for more advantage
>cly uses the shock pulse

that way the coil are mostly dealt with and visser is now out in the open, turn 2 you can start laying into him with quickdraw and shock darts/pulse

XCOM2 has a wide arrangement of Star Wars mods, and several mod collections you can probably just copy on steam.
Models, weapons, voices, swapping ADVENT for the empire, playable commando droids, it's all there. The one jedi class I've played I didn't like very much, it looks like shit, and the lightning effect is laughably bad.

Oh, and don't kamikazee her behind enemy lines. Focus on just using force push and blocking at first.

Then use her to lightsaber fight melee guys who run up on you.

Some operations require you to spend money. Try to keep at least $1500 on hand in case.

First Light was a dogshit game and I hope IOI shuts down.

Disney should just take Star Wars vidya only for awhile. The Disney era Star Wars games have been way better received than their films and shows, other than Andor.

Did you guys change Jae's class? I love the 20 free damage from executes each round, but I'm not sure assault is where she really shines. Although it has a first move buff, which helps bringing her into position for the execute.

I'm pissed EA rushed this out the door, it feels so unfinished. Half the cutscenes just randomly start or end, the game feels really short, and lots of weird bugs and just general jank too. I hope it gets a sequel because it feels like one of those games where the sequel feels like the 1.0 complete version. That would be fine if it didn't take 7 years to make a game these days.

Probably the first full mission during the chess tournament since it simultaneously felt the most like a Hitman™ mission and a Bond movie experience with the chase in an exotic car and skydiving out of a cargo plane

Scout. Scouts get free advantage for kills. Every time she executes, you get advantage.
I started shitting out special abilities like no tommorow as soon as I did this.

It's a mission where you walk down a single corridor that's disguised as open area. There's nothing open about it.

ok

Its fine, but changing their classes isnt a bad idea. Trick is basically unstoppable with his built in autorevive as a heavy for example.

>>746615184
Hmm my hawks is scout. But I can see your vision. Maybe if I swap my hawks to something else..

>>746615165
Its has literally nothing in common with Hitman. How do people make the comparison with a straight face?

Wouldn't pistol still be good for gunslinger because the Onslaught passive gives +1 damage per main blaster shot? With a pistol you'll do 3 bonus damage total (1 from shot 2, and 2 from shot 3), while with with a rifle you only gain 1 bonus damage. (more of course if scout and astromech pump AP into the Gunslinger. You would have to be okay with pumping all into one soldier, but you might do up 6 shots on a regular basis. Sometimes more. The problem is chance to hit. You really need to figure out accuracy chance on pistol.

I genuinely feel like all starting companions have a much better, obvious option that just synergizes so much better with their special ability. Heavy is obvious for Trick, Scout is obvious for Jae, Soldier is obvious for Kabb.The only non-special standout is the domehead, although I could see an argument for his special being useful on pretty much anything.

Pistol unironically only works with Sharpshooter.

It was okay but they just abandoned it, that new mission is nowhere to be seen and it never even got a ng+ mode. Tacsim is fun for like an hour or two but is a ridiculous slog. I regret buying it since it got cracked relatively quickly. At this point I'm just done buying games on release

dust juice is slang for pcp kek

Why would that game even need a ng+ mode

I'm normally pretty resiliant to Star Wars naming things. Can't have a toilet, gotta have a "refresher" etc. But fuck me, I nearly closed the game when these fuckers said "chance cubes". That's so fucking dumb. Kill me.
