      Yeah it's through watching Odds playthrough's of Xcom that I learned to play it. I don' t play i ton the ghighest difficulty like he does but that's mostly because I'm still kin of new t othe game as I only started playing it in the Summer but I think I am gettin bette rat it as I almost beat it on my last run was ultimately defeated by 2 of the Ethereals that I couldn't quite finish off. Bu tovre the course of the main game in tha tplaythrough I think I only lost about 10 soldires whereas in my first runs I was losin gthem quite frequently. I'm definitel yenjoying i tand planning moer playthrough's but atm I'm just playing a little bit of the Mass Effect trilogy killing time waiting for this to come out.

    If you’re playing on your own without watching any videos, the game’s combat system can be overwhelming. Especially if you’re new to a strategy game like this. However, this video is beyond helpful and makes everything more easy to understand.

    It took a while for me to get used to Midnight Suns odd, bouncy, geometric combat, but once I did I was hooked. Especially once you've tweaked your heroes decks, unlocked some combat upgrades, and crafted some items, it REALLY opens up.

  • @khele2k
    @khele2k Год назад +2

    Short answer for me is go Tank, Damage, Support combos for the win always.
    Tanks
    Captain America, Wolverine, Hulk
    Pure Damage
    Ghost Rider, *Captain Marvel, **Scarlet Witch
    Technical Damage
    Iron Man, Spider-Man, Magik, Blade
    Support
    Nico Minoru, Doctor Strange
    You can play Hunter with builds for all three classes. I use him as a healer with good damage because I feel like that's his most powerful build.
    *Captain Marvel is really a damage hero because she loses her Binary as a Tank; play her with Captain America to keep her Block and Binary
    **I play Unleashed and Detonate to eliminate the whole board; it's the second best Damage after Hulk's Worldbreaker
    Best cards for each hero and why:
    Hunter: Bladestorm, Heal, Call To Arms - Hunter has 30 cards so mix and match. These three cards do damage, heal and double heroic points.
    Captain America: Tactician, Dig In, Shield Bounce - he is the Defense Tank, he blocks enemy attacks and lets his teammates do their roles.
    Wolverine: Berserk, Chain Swipes, Eviscerate - his lifesteal and taunts make him a tank while good mods make him better than Cap at dealing damage.
    Hulk: Worldbreaker, Smash, Challenging Roar - build up Rage and six heroics with Smash and Roar then unleash the best card in the game - Worldbreaker.
    Ghost Rider: Hell Ride, Hellmouth, Lash, Penance Stare - Hell Ride to clean up the whole battlefield and Penance Stare for the bosses.
    Captain Marvel: One Step Ahead, Regroup, Photon Beam - you need Cards, Binary and Block to be effective with her. When she's Binary she's very fun.
    Scarlet Witch: Unleashed, Detonate, Hex Mark - Unleashed and Detonate will take out the whole battlefield. Hex Mark gives you refunded card plays.
    Iron Man: Mark Target, Leave It To Me, Surgical Strike - Mark Target for AoE Marked and a Vulnerable on bosses, Surgical Strike is awesome damage.
    Spider-Man: Opportunist, Stengthened, Infernal Spider - With Spoder-Man the environmental damage is his bread and butter
    Magik: Limbo's Grasp, Kick, Gather: she's best for moving enemies in position for teammates to AoE clobber them. Her legendary card makes her a good Tank.
    Blade: Make Em Bleed, The Hunger, Glaive; Build up Bleed and use The Hunger to create endless Marked card refunds.
    Nico Minoru: Empower, Witchfire, Double Up - imagine getting Hulk's WorldBreaker, duplicating it with Double Up, then using Empower to make both zero heroic cost
    Doctor Strange: Agamotto's Gaze, Blessing of the Vishanti, Astral Meditation - he boosts teammate damage, adds card plays and heroics points and restores items
    Hope this helps.

    I can see how they jumped from Chimera Squad to this game. However the combat is much different. This game feels like a game of pool where you want to take a shot but then you want to setup your next shot and then your next shot and so on till you run the table/room. Maximizing the environmental effects and damage makes it so that it matters less about which heroes you use if you plan out your shots correctly.

    Mark Target was they keycard in this battle and you entirely ignored it. 😅
    Should have used one of the redraws to improve mark target (giving at least two goons the "marked" status) and just go to town with Iron Man's attacks. Even if they're not "quick", if you kill a marked target, you get the card play refunded.
    You pretty much always want to "redraw" mark target to get the AoE-version on 3+ guys and then basically play through your whole hand, which can give you more heroism points to spend on environmental attacks or the dual-hero big damage cards. Especially since Mark Target also applies "vulnerable" (double damage received) to the primary target making it easier to kill (and thus easier to get the card play refunded). It may cost one card play but since it generates extra card plays.
    Obviously, this is captain hingsight speaking, I'm a bunch of hours into the game now, two month's after release but this hurt to watch. 😅

    Thanks, still working things on normal became frustrated after noticing that once you accept a mission if it is too difficult and you want out, you better have a save just before in mirror table otherwise you'll need to go all the way back to whatever previous save you had, wished the game warned you of this.

    @D00M3R_MAVS Год назад

    Great game, guys. Took me a while to actually pick it up, but I'm glad I waited till I was ready for it. The combination of elements is perfect. I really like the fighting, the mix of turn based tactics and deck buildings is awesome (especially with the whole positioning/threat and target management side) but then to combine this with a Fire Emblem style, social system is genius. You then have the exploration side of things as well.
    This game really does have everything you could want from a modern RPG, and it does things that are highly original. I don't think there is another game out there that is really similar to this game. Granted you can play games with aspects that are similar, but the whole package, never been seen before.
    I wish I'd known the game was running the risk of having it's support cancelled, as I'd have done more to try and help the game get more players. It's a shame to hear that there will be no more DLC characters added. I can only hope that we get another game in this style, even if it's not with the Marvel IP.

    My favourite team right now (I'm still very early in the game, I'm up to the 2nd Venom mission with Spidey, but haven't done it yet) is Doc Strange, Magik and Nico. I really like the full spell slinger team. Also after I completed that mission, I got the "Emo Kids" bit, which I don't know if you need to do a mission with all 3 of them first, but this is a cool feature, if so. It was my first time using Magik and Nico, and they just gelled for me so well.
    Shame both Magik and Nico are Dark, as I'm going for a Light Playthrough. I'm still picking the Dark Answers for them though, when applicable to get their friendship up. I have Blade almost at level 2, and I have both Marv and Magik ready to go to level one, but not had the vents pop up yet.
    Honestly though dude, I spent most of yesterday exploring and doing socials. I think I only did one combat mission, and I was playing for 5 hours, easy. It's so easy to get lost on the grounds. I actually need to find the earth handle (I found the other 3 just exploring) do you have any hints where it might be, please? I don't want to look up guides, but I also have no idea where it could be, and the place is huge.

  • @mahebdr636

    Can I add that his play, so many moves on one turn requires real thought and understanding of the game. So far, after three hour's play, I have had to restart missions a few times because I wasted cards/didn't understand the full mechanics. It's an excellent game, but really does have a learning curve. Even on Normal level, the game is a lot harder than it seems, particularly on missions where you protect or attack an objective: you have to very carefully utilise your cards or you end up restarting the mission.

Also never knew about combat items. maybe I should use DR STRANGE, BUT HOW DID U GET THE WINDS OF WATOON CARD. did u cancel ur other card. I dont know alot of this.
