Underrail: The Incline Awakens

Just went down the elevator myself. Gotta give props to Styg, the game is humongous yet the pacing never falters; as soon as a section starts reaching its natural end, you arrive to something new to spark your interest back up.

Parallel to going through DC I've been fiddling around with new characters, trying out Dominating for the first time. Took two characters up to GMS, one sneaky stelfy and the other with CON and STR at 10. On Dominating, the building with Newton holds around ten mindrape beetles, none of which can be allowed to take a turn, ever, otherwise it's game over. Even with their brains hanging out, they can survive 2-3 crits with the starting 44 Hammerer.

This is it? This is what you people do for fun?

Welcome to the club. That said, the Newton quest is the hardest thing to do on DOM, more or less anyway.

Don’t think I’ll ever go for Dominating, but if I did, I would cheese the hell out of traps, bear traps are the most op item in the entire game.

 

[jackofshadows]

Bear traps or molotovs. One of them.

Haven't played in years so I am really rusty. I think I'll go with cave wizard, they are the easiest to play. I even have the SI wizard draft from years ago

The irony of giving you access to acid chemical pistols just as you're heading into the Acid Immunity Dungeon is delicious.

 

[AdolfSatan]

You should be able to craft chemical pistols and their respective ammo fairly early. Acid gun is how I won half the gladiatorial matches.

Early game, before your build comes online, traps and grenades are your biggest friends. This particular building has a nice chokepoint in a form of double door just near the entrance. Place enough traps, lure the fuckers in and soft them up with frags or molotovs, then shoot

Molotovs were my best friends for large parts of the game.

The worst part of dominating is easily the early game, not even the encounter difficulty but the lack of cash and nerfed DOM economy. You had to drag every piece of junk back to the base and try to sell it to get all additional credits you can afford. This is tedious as fuck, even more so if you don't use trader refresh
