    Well, I guess I have to put my hand up and say I was wrong - the new build you've put together for Duchess really does look good. Even getting rid of the shield, if that's what unbugs Close Encounters, is clearly a positive (I'm not sure we knew that would work, but clearly it did). She probably won't be shotgun sniping like before, but since the focus is obviously now to get her into *CLOSE RANGE,* aim shouldn't be an issue. As you showed here, the psionic stuff synergizes well with Close Encounters, since you can take a shot and then use the extra action for a psionic ability if you want. Keep in mind, her psi strength doesn't affect guaranteed-hit damage-dealing abilities like Void Rift, so she can use those for full effect even if you don't trust her to Mind Control the tougher enemies. To really max out her crit potential, though, remember to give her the Talon Rounds (you can buy the Bandolier ability for an ammo slot if you need it). Now, just get her back out there once she's available!
    Also, every single episode since the very first run. Keep up the great work!😁

    If I understand that trait correctly, the HP reduces from the base amount, not overall amount with armor and other things, so you need to be careful not to kill the guy accidentally.
    And to answer the question: I did watch every video in this run, and try not to miss my comments
    A flawless job, Commander!

I have a question that is probably irrelevant now but since the advanced psi research finished to give you better psi amps are you researching anything as I can't see it on the listing (unless it's a: no longer relevant, or b: fixed as I'm a yt schlub and behind the ball due to pre-recording)?

    @DesolateFields 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    OK, I retract my comment about Duchess on the previous video, she's fine without her shield. I didn't consider the possibility of Close Encounters ability working when you removed her shield, that makes her an action points machine and is obviously better than Shield Stability.

  • @royrush288

    Using Dutchess with a psi amp is great in some missions, but maybe not in others. It depends on the circumstances.

    • @DesolateFields
      @DesolateFields 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Seeing as how equipping her with a shield makes her Close Encounters not work, I think she's just better with a Psi Amp now. Yeah I also wanted to see her with a shield but it's just straight worse since that ability doesn't work on one-handed shielded weapons since they're not counted as standard.

    ----- Major Amy "Collux" Penton Log 118 -----
    "I was going to ask you about that, but it sounds like it's above my pay grade. The nurses will be fine as long as you're resting most of the time, I hope you don't mind me asking," Amy's voice goes quieter, just above a whisper. "I noticed when you first came aboard that even though you look like a Skirmisher or an Ex-Advent member, you hold yourself differently. You're not just a trooper like we were told when Bradford introduced us to you, are you? Or is that classified?"
    Karma's eyes fell on the symbol of trust held in his palm. It was no question that she deserved to know, but how would she react? How would the command staff react to a breach of classified information? With an unsteady breath, he spoke:
    "I was a P-purifier... I would ... purify the humans... with flame. As were my orders."
    That was how Collux learned that Karma was a terrible liar.
    "A purifier? Right." She nodded. Amy didn't believe a word of it, but she pretended to, for Karma's sake. She whispers again, barely audible over the steady beeps and whirrs of the infirmary sounds. "A psionic purifier, interesting." This is the moment Karma knew that if he wanted her to keep a secret, all he'd have to do is ask and she'd not mention a word. Going back to a more discernible pitch. "Every Skirmisher has a story, most remember and others forget. You know of mine, I think, but I'd like to know more of yours?"

And then throwing them into training, he could have had 4-6 more Lieutenant or Captain rank soldiers in the mean time. Plus there's still classes we haven't seen.
    Why stop recruiting?
