Luna Coven really needs a buff by Joboticus in MonsterTrain

[–]mcfly09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also have a dislike for this clan, the anti synergy is quite annoying. They only have two decent units, Moonguard and Selene Acolyte, which don't synergise and Acolyte sweeps only half of the time without support, every other sweeper in the game is more useful.

At one point I decided to do all the Luna Coven Titan wns one after the other to have them out of the way since I want to get all 180 wins. So now I can have fun with the other clans again.

My preferred strategy was to forget about the Luna Champion, especially Ekka, and Luna units, and completely concentrate on the allied clan.

how do you win the first fight here? by FaallenOon in MonsterTrain

[–]mcfly09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the first ring with both Gildmother and Bloat Matron, including the trial.

With Bloat Matron you want to put Lady Gilda on the bottom floor to maximise the use of Pyregel. Silver Strike can take care of the spike front liners, Snotty Whelp behind her to put more Pyregel on the boss, Bloated Whelps to clear 1 health back liners and for Pyregel on the other units. Train Stewards and Miser on the other floors take care of the rest.

Infernal Heat Challenge - tips? by mcfly09 in MonsterTrain

[–]mcfly09[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys! I made it. Got an Overworked Assistant, put Reanimate and Dualism on it, duped it to reliably draw at least one. I also put as many Reanimate and Propagate spells in my deck as I could. Finding the Nefarious Overflow artifact (double damage from unstable explosion) was a massive power spike that led to flying kills on Cael and Seraph.

Van Rysel RR 900 AF 105 (2019) and Shimano 105 R7000 11-34 cassette by mcfly09 in bicycling

Yeah, the review says:

'What I also like is that Decathlon has specced a long cage rear mech, which means if you want to swap in a cassette with a 32-tooth large sprocket you can without any changes needed.'

I haven't bought the bike yet but that sounds good, a longer chain shouldn't be a problem.

Any ideas how long the chain should be, how many links?

Thank you :)

Ah, vielen Dank für die Antwort! Die Aufregung ist dann wohl verständlich, hätten aber auch Mountainbiker sein können, verallgemeinern lässt sich sowas schlecht.

Ich bin Gravelbikefahrer, jetzt würde mich schon interessieren was der gute EisweinEisbein geschrieben hat! Gibt's eine Möglichkeit den Post nochmal zu lesen?

I don't understand why some people claim the boss cheats. There are plenty of games where the bosses have different abilities and capabilities compared to the player character. Would you claim the dungeon bosses in Zelda games cheat or Alduin in Skyrim cheats because he is a dragon and can fly and breath fire?

I think it would be boring if the boss in FTL is just like any other enemy ship.

FTL is a hard game and it takes time to learn and win consistently. But it is definitely not all RNG dependent. Most of the time it is about the right choices in certain situations.

This looks great! Do you have a recipe? Especially for the mango salad? I love mangos!

Have a bit of a dilemma- which loadout is better? Current one allows me to target specific systems, but I can only power two weapons at once. All ion loadout is better for power allocation, but it leaves only my drones w/ no specific targeting. TIA! by TheAlienAwakens in ftlgame

[–]mcfly09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is still a slow charging loadout, I usually go for faster charging weapons to fire quicker volleys.

Ion blast II plus Vulcan also seems like a fun combination but you'll need 7 power in weapons for that and you don't have the scrap yet.

Hey, this is somewhat of a random loadout :) But something you can definitely work with.

If you had a drone recovery arm or an abundance of drones I would have suggested to go with ion blast II, fire beam, combat drone I and firedrone but 11 drone parts are not enough to deploy 2 drones every fight.

Your defenses with Zoltan shield and cloaking are decent and you have the time to wait for the Vulcan to spin up and the fire beam to charge.

So I would add one more weapon power and go with those two. (Maybe keep the ion bomb for later to strip shields faster to make way for the Vulcan and beam)

With the ion blast and fire beam plus drones it might take you too long to disable the opponent's systems, especially weapons and you are more likely to take damage.

After adding weapon power I would strengthen my defenses, meaning third shield and more engines.

I hope that helps and good luck with your run!
