Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate Part 3 - my strongest build yet. It's always nice when you become so powerful, you can speedrun the game. Let's hope I can keep this momentum going into the hardest difficulties.

Definately my assassin build. This was in the demo, before the nerf to the sacrificial knife, I had the king at 1 hp, reached him quickly using free soul movement, and a power boosted shotgun to kill him through his own units. I got so far in endless (only mode back then) that the board started with half the board filled with white units. I considered this a true victory since half the board is like all of his units and all my own converted black ones.

I watched him and was like "no way it's this hard" bought the game, and won first try on Normal lol. Granted I also watch Tyler and have watched all 3:30 of the NL attempt so I had some intel going in, but I'm still unconvinced the game would have been that hard going in blind.

Tyler, I believe this is how the shield/bypass mechanic works: As you mentioned, there is some element of randomness as to the spread of bullets. Therefore, if there is a non-zero chance of the spread "screwing you over" and causing you to deal non-lethal damage, it won't let you shoot without first destroying your shields. However, if there is a guarantee to kill the enemy (no amount of bad bullet spread can prevent the piece from dying), it will instantly shoot without forcing you to destroy your shields. I could be wrong, but this seems to apply consistently to all applicable scenarios.

The shield bypass only works when the enemy is right besides you because the game the game calculates your firepower power vs enemy HP and see if you're safe or not. If you have less FP than enemy HP, they game will trigger the shield.

I've heard something about mod support for this game, which got me thinking about a mod concept. Specifically, allowing players to choose pretty much any 10 Black *and* White cards they wish. This would result in the potential to have absurd builds on both sides. (Perhaps a consequence of choosing any particular card would be that said card would be the only one available for the rest of the game. Or that could be a mode within the mod...)

@Stormer13 2 жыл бұрын

I would be interested to see that mod happen. I've been trying to do stuff, but I forgot how tedious it is when you have to try booting up the game everytime you want to test it. I don't know much about modding though, so maybe there's an easier way to do what I'm trying to do.
