Man, I’ve really got to play more of this. I don’t even think I made it past the tutorial. I just rarely feel like turning on my PS4 these days I guess.
Oh, hell yes. I just unlocked the rank III fighters; it’s actually getting fairly difficult, I can’t just faceroll through with fists anymore. So far, the only real challenging boss has been Jin-Die in Kaga but WOW, she sucked. How far along are folks?
I’m MUCH further behind, partially because I got my PS4 earlier this month (but mostly because I’m such a cautions player) but I took out a COEN with a rank I, level 11 all-rounder taking almost no damage yesterday and for some reason I cannot be prouder at such a small victory.
My defense actually worked for once in TDM, too, but that’s another story.
Actually my second go through. I put off the fight until I maxed out my fighter, but on my second go, I wanted to see how far I could get with a weaker fighter. Did have a huge advantage knowing ahead of time that he uses echolocation.
Just to save new players some time, just get on board with the fact that TDM defense is god-awful until you get some of the late-game gear. The AI controlling your fighters is just as stupid and easy to bait as any other enemy, plus there’s the small chance of having one of your fighters get captured.
Don’t get too attached to any coins and SPL in your bank. Instead, take advantage of the large amount of storage space in your reward box, and send your fighters on expeditions all the time. Your reward box can’t get stolen, nor can the rewards you haven’t claimed from expeditions.If you’re on one of the bigger teams like California, just go ahead and spend as much of your banked money as you can before you log off, and make peace with the fact that your banks will be empty when you come back.
The gameplay in Let It Die is pretty simplistic (and punishing as heck) but I absolutely love all the styling and choices in it. I do need to look up a guide on where to find the comic pages, as they’re my second favourite part of the game (right after the “Tower of Barbs” mini-videos).
