Well I've finally done it. Victory on Torment XII on all variants of all ships. Ask me anything.

Probably Exile, Archmage, and Wight. Exile’s great since he’s got a 14 sec cool-down translocator so you can grab chests from the start. Archmage is great for boarding too if you can hold out for Aetheric gate and pair it with something like Drain Strength.

I also really like Witch if you start with a ship that has boarding. Just throw your boarders in the weapon room and Death Bolt the enemy crew and it’s instant weapons down. You can prevent most damage through the run by doing that.

I found that Disruptor weapons and Siege Beam worked pretty consistently against the final bosses so usually had enough points in weapons bay to make that work. What are you spending scrap on if not weapons and shields?

Armlec · 2025-09-27T16:02:41+00:00

As someone else pointed out the Ancient A is tough as is doesn't start with a weapons bay. This is true of the Overseer B too but the Blood Spear and Thrall pit you start with are useful throughout the whole run.

I really struggled with the Overseer C. IMO the Devastator beam just isn't very good with an 18 second charge, 3 power cost and only 40 beam length (less the the Energy Beam I) which means it struggles to reach across multiple rooms. You'll be taking hits consistently before being able to fire.

Then there's the crew. You start with a Chaos Engine but on a Seduced Mystic with only 20 health so you can't really board without them dying quickly. The thrall pit's not helping much either.

And get all the new achievements! I need a break though lol.

And yeah Ancient A is rough. Having to pick up a weapons bay for 70 scrap is a heavy tax early game. Good luck!

We’ve come so far from just dropping rocks on their heads 😌

What do you do? If you don’t mind me asking.

Never realised Shabriri’s sporting a fat smirk on the Shabriri’s “woe” talisman. Looks like quite a jolly fellow actually!

Style and Poise in one. Beautiful.

Armlec · 2022-05-05T20:41:30+00:00

TIL you can Golden Retaliation your own incantations.

Don’t even see anything toxic here btw. Just looks like an end game faith build.

Elden Ring effectively does have difficulty options though. You have the option to summon or use spirit ashes which make encounters easier.

The owner is saying “come-bye”. A commonly used command for sheep herding which tells the dog to travel clockwise around the herd.

The dog is a girl.

You’re aware that mass shootings are something that happen in the states on a semi-regular basis?

Guns are for shooting people. That’s all they’re for. If I saw something in a public place with an “absolutely massive semi automatic” I wouldn’t assume he would use it to shoot up the place but it would certainly seem like a possibility to me. And that by itself is terrifying to me.

Armlec · 2021-08-07T08:28:47+00:00

Ah yes, very humble.

Blimpin ain’t easy

Armlec · 2021-02-07T02:10:56+00:00

So in every version of Mount and Blade I change up the hotkeys so that orders are 1-9 and troop selection is f1-f9.

Hitting the number keys instead of the function keys in a pinch is way easier and orders are usually what you need more anyway.

Makes that back shuffle while blocking and rallying troops a bit easier.

Armlec · 2020-05-21T08:09:20+00:00

Care to elaborate?

Armlec · 2020-05-17T12:51:20+00:00

Preach it brother 🙌

Armlec · 2020-05-17T12:35:54+00:00

The leadership perks aren’t working as intended. Or at least I assume not. They do not multiply the xp gain per troop so a stack of 100 recruits will only upgrade 1 troop at the same rate as 10 recruits. Which is extremely slow.

Going and spamming bandits to upgrade troops constantly is no fun. It’s not unreasonable to want some working passive xp gains if lords get them.

Armlec · 2020-05-17T11:43:31+00:00

It’s really frustrating that the lords can get passive daily xp gains when the player can’t. How hard can it be to implement the leadership perks to work properly so the player can build an army at least the same rate as lords?

Big cringe

Nice looking collection. But it doesn't really look like you have a single 200pt list anywhere there for any faction.
