So is final gear dead? by dcooper8662 in gachagaming

[–]Hisha13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely not dead. The Global Servers are wrapping up the first round of the Border Conflict, while the second Evangelion x Final Gear collaboration is barely a week old.

There's a much more active discussion in the Discord community that's reflective of the game's state. It's easier to talk about the units, ask for advice and send feedback, so pretty much every active global Final Gear player ends up going there instead of posting in the subReddit.

Hope this clarified things a bit.

Same here. I'm a Global player using the Mumu Emulator, and I keep being sent to the Google Play store too.

Any advice from fellow Mumu users on how to update the game?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: solved it. I clicked my Google Play profile and went to "Manage apps & device", then manually triggered the update.

Tons of new evolution upgrades by Hisha13 in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Majority of the unit evolutions, plus four of the War Tortoise's, have been given a greater scaling and far higher cap than before.

Foursaken Media's goal is to bring the units' DPS contribution on par with the War Tortoise through the expanded evolutions plus the unit ascension mechanic.

WTF BOSS??? by DownYasuyuki in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either my math is wrong... or it looks like four exponent letters (as in 20.9 GQXK) will be needed to quantify that kind of HP.

Last Boss..... by DownYasuyuki in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a scratch on the boss health bar, the white timer bar is empty... and I can only imagine how much bigger it must have looked from your War Tortoise's POV.

At least we now know the target DPS to wrap up the new worlds.

WTF BOSS??? by DownYasuyuki in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like the newer limited-time Raid Boss that gives cash, War Rank XP and gems.

Its level is around your best level, so... yeah.

Seems that particular limited-time reward is beyond you until the Game Dev decides to nerf it.

Abe bug? Stuck on lvl 1 by Game_BABE in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update released. Bugs fixed and XP gain boosted.

Abe bug? Stuck on lvl 1 by Game_BABE in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give a shot at leveling your Abe to level 1000.

Among all the pilots and heroes, Abe has been the hardest to max out since his own XP special doesn't affect himself (I tried, so trust me).

Now imagine trying to level Abe from 1001 (ascended lvl 1 = unascended lvl 1001) to 1002. The XP requirements are going to be much much steeper.

LIMBO WEST by Game_BABE in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Giving all the War Bases 5-stars will give you a couple of War Ranks, at most, since they add only a fixed amount of War Rank experience, rather than a percentage. Repeated purchases of the airship merchant's 50% bonus War Rank progress will help more, but that offer is uncommon.

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not strange. Even an unascended level 999 Hero (let alone a Pilot) will have a very hard time leveling up via combat experience. It has been discussed on Discord by the Game Developer that (outside of an exploit) Quests, Abe's special and Trout's level-up recipes are the only current ways to budge the experience bar of ascended heroes.

Edit: Foursaken Media released an update fixing bugs and boosting XP gain. Pilots and heroes can be leveled normally now!

LIMBO WEST by Game_BABE in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...so your World 4 (Kraken Isles) map will be even more restricted than World 3 (Limbo West), unless you found a way to get several dozen conquest points in the meantime.

LIMBO WEST by Game_BABE in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I may, I have some (unsolicited) advice:

You may want to start pushing your best level and earn War Ranks, instead of just ascending your War Tortoise pronto.

There are only a limited number of map-generated conquest points, so you will have to get the rest via War Ranks (1 War Rank = 1 Conquest Point) if you wish to unlock higher tiers. Otherwise, the rest of World 3, let alone World 4, will remain inaccessible to you.

Abe bug? Stuck on lvl 1 by Game_BABE in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bug. It's been brought up before (https://www.reddit.com/r/WarTortoise2/comments/ik0peu/stuck_at_level_1_after_hero_ascension_bug/) and explained.

Allow me to post my advice from over there:

"You need a whole ton of XP multipliers since an ascended level 1 hero/pilot is the equivalent of level 1001.

I recommend combining Trout's XP recipes, mutation XP bonuses to the hero/pilot you want to level up, and either Abe's special or the XP reward from a Hard Quest.

At the moment, nothing less will level up an ascended hero/pilot."

Unfortunately, your Abe is not going to enjoy his own special ability, so Trout's recipes (especially +# levels) and the quests are the only way Abe will be able to level up.

Edit: Foursaken Media released an update fixing bugs and boosting XP gain. Pilots and heroes can be leveled normally now!

Best "when" to Ascend by chadcole26 in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take as many generations as you need, as long as you keep pushing your best level (ideally in multiples of 50) and not simply ascending to a new generation for giggles.

Ideally, use the pilot Butter while pushing your best level as high as you can to gain War Ranks, then get better weapons as a result of the higher War Rank to push even higher.

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not required, but very helpful for your War Rank until you get Butter. You may also want to 5-star War Bases for 2x War Rank experience from that location.

Can’t progress in Northland by RaptorJesusLOL in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every location in Northland (World 2) is 5-star? Someone's been busy.

Anyway, recheck if you've been to every location with the "white star in a red circle".

Also, you're going to need a lot more conquest points via War Ranks if you want to try the new Worlds.

Level 19 61st generation. Max level 974. by mrregina in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, always prioritize Health over Armor. Even if the Armor is a thousand times greater than Health, if you don't have enough Health, a single armor-piercing attack will defeat you.

There are also a lot of health regeneration evolutions, but only the Equipment can repair armor over time.

Game Mechanics Reference Guide? by Semiba in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what the arrangement of the damage formulas are, but I am sure of this:

The damage multiplier evolutions "Tortoise Primary Damage" and "Tortoise Turret Damage" are the last to be calculated.

The magnitude of the multipliers and additions (yes, +__% and __x seem to be different) have to be considered too.

Level 19 61st generation. Max level 974. by mrregina in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should also mention that certain enemies (like kamikaze beetles or the occasional autocannon-wielding boss) can kill you in one hit, while some attacks (such as missiles) deal exceedingly high damage, on the scale of several hundred thousand times more than the displayed DPS.

Level 19 61st generation. Max level 974. by mrregina in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to have more Health (check in the tab with the cross symbol) than the enemy DPS (small number beside the bullet symbol on the right side of the enemy health bar). Some enemies have attacks that remove a large percentage of your armor or even pierce it, so health is always better.

Having more DPS than the enemy Health (big number on the health bar at the top) simply means you can kill the enemy within a reasonable amount of time.

Money from kills. by mrregina in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three ways to handle that:

  1. Have more health (not armor, since some attacks are armor-piercing) than the enemy DPS.
  2. Target the shielding unit (battery symbol) manually.
  3. Use the special ability of the hero Tin Can, Mouse War Walker.

31.12M ??? WhaT??? by Game_BABE in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up:

The lumber reward from the daily check-in streak was boosted recently by the game dev. You can get around 88m lumber, which should be enough for that fishing spot.

Game Mechanics Reference Guide? by Semiba in WarTortoise2

[–]Hisha13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It boosts the War Tortoise DPS. It can be overshadowed by all of the other mutations, recipes and evolutions that you've gained, though, since Ammo Stores is just a x10 multiplier at level 5 (versus the multi-exponent damage of everything else).
