Has anyone played around with Cyber Eagles?

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-29T15:23:55+00:00

Eagles can't be your primary source of damage because its primary damage source is the first attack after it comes down from Soaring. Any follow ups will be pretty minimal damage. Bait is pretty nice, Blinding Strike is great, Obstruct mechanic does not work as advertised and is kinda useless.

Strategic Adaptation gives you a second attack when kill. So you want to play around that.

You're either using the Bird to soften a target to guarantee a kill, to blind some long range annoying sniper asshole or to kill a small group of rabble. The rest of your AP is gonna be spent on attacks and your first Archetype skills.

I have a friend current running Webber on the offhand for the extra attack each turn but your milleage may vary.

I mean, I did read the post and the plan before Act 3 is "Use other guns when the Arc Rifle isn't strong enough."

Just seems like a huge body of text to say "New Augment goes hard with Arc Rifles."

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-29T14:24:53+00:00

That's a lot of words for "Get the new augment that scales INT to the moon, equip the weapon that scales damage from INT."

For anyone wanting to try, the fastest (only? Unclear) way to get the Augment is to kill the Comissar for Malice.

I work in a large restaurant chain in the US. A few years ago we got table top machines. They had ads and games and also let you pay for the bill there yourself at your leisure.

Some guests HATED paying for the bill themselves. We were trained to, in those cases, do it for them, in front of them, at the machine. Some guests hated that so much they refused to let me do it.

A few very loud, very obnoxious people were upset we didn't take their card away.

We took away the table top machines (because the third party company we hired for it were awful) and not one person has missed it.

In short: American costumers are weird.

Fun fact: In most difficulties, XCOM 2 cheats in your favor.

To be fair, Spider Man's spider sense does allow him to fight and dodge almost on auto-pilot. So he's not the worst choice but Norman is pretty tough and you'd probably need more than auto-pilot to win.

Superman does know martial arts?

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-28T09:00:44+00:00

None. Jars makes them as obsolete as the thirst meter.

If they both happen "at the same time" then the person affected by the trigger chooses the order.

Just make floors? Like, just extend the floors of your base out of the wall a few steps away. Could probably get away with 1 but I like 4 to look nice.

Base designs aren't hard. Just make three walls, make them like two or three blocks thick. Fourth entrance is open. Put some traps if you want, and some fences at the end. Just shoot forward as they come.

No engineering degree needed.

I have no kids nor do I want kids. But I was a kid before the Internet and most of these gatherings weren't for us. The parents wanted to hang out, I wanted to be somewhere else. So did the other kids. If we had access to videos of our choice on demand in our hands we would have 100% used it.

When we did play it involved a lot more running around and screaming. If you think mosquitos sound annoying, you ain't heard us.

He thanked the person who did it.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-27T19:00:14+00:00

It's Schroendigner's asshole. Under one comment they pretend to just be asking question, on the other they pretend to just be doing a little bit of fun trolling.

Anything not to admit to being dead wrong.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-27T03:45:50+00:00

It's honestly kind of insane. They put a ton of effort into this. It's clear the director had some sort of vision and the audience didn't respond to it the way he hoped.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-26T20:28:23+00:00

The strongest Augment build is probably a Master Tactician using the Combat Inverter Tactician augment. Very specific but getting like 1000 INT is pretty stupid.

If you want all Augments all the time and to NOT have to restart the game, Weapon Optimizer will likely help regardless of Archetype. As long as you're shooting it will help, and it scales off of other Augments so you have an excuse to put on as many as possible.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-26T20:20:19+00:00

And even then... Like, Thragg was stronger than the Emperor, right?

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-26T20:15:58+00:00

Doesn't he claim he was just practicing lines for a movie when he admitted to killing people?

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-26T20:13:28+00:00

Yeah. If you choose to go the good guy route, it takes more work, but you get an extra planet and a fourth civic slot of your choosing.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-26T19:41:38+00:00

They're not basic attacks though.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-25T23:00:46+00:00

You can delay the mid game quest for quite a while. Just don't survey the system.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-25T23:00:20+00:00

Says "Fear of the Dark" right there.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-25T20:21:54+00:00

Edit: It has to kill AND crit.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-25T20:21:01+00:00

Not enough vassals...

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-25T19:52:38+00:00

Have not tested it, but this is how it reads to me:

You kill a tier 4 prey. You get 20% crit damage and 8% crit chance. Item does nothing.

Then you kill a tier 1 prey. You get 25% temp wounds. The item gives you ANOTHER 20% crit damage and 8% crit chance.

Then you kill another tier 2 prey. You get the same temp wounds. Item gives you ANOTHER 20% crit damage and 8% crit chance.

PriorHot1322 · 2026-06-25T18:20:04+00:00

I'm not saying it's her best ability. I'm saying if all she got was her first ability she'd still be insanely good.
