ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- Your operation is only as good as your people, and when those people are minions that's not very good at all. You need to recruit henchmen in evil genius 2 to get anywhere.
In this video I break down the four starter henchmen and give a tier list of who I think are the best hires. Jubei, Eli Barracuda Jr., I.R.I.S., and Janet Bombe, all incredible talents waiting for you to open up their true potential... well maybe not Janet Bombe (spoiler alert, I don't like her much). Good luck out there masterminds!

What henchman did you recruit first?
Playing as Emma and not having built an actual trap layout until late-mid game, I picked Eli first and when I started struggling with better tier agents, I got Jubei!
As a Madman in Red with Bazooka.... just go with Jubei he just gets in and kills everyone! Teleport also a really good response to the enemy action especially in mid-game.
why you lag a bit?
That's what happens when you open up a youtube channel off a laptop without a designated graphics card. Do you remember the time stamp? I do also make a few quick pauses in the gameplay.
Jubei, no regrets, other than the fact that the Iris unlock missions are cancer
I think Jubei's ability to teleport in and tear up the enemy makes him tops, this greatly reduces early minion casualties - he's also the best for your first time play because of the ease of use. Mr. Barracuda is pretty fun though for a more involved genius/henchman relationship.
I've been struggling to get through with Janet in my 2nd playthru, and she is truly terrible, but her abilities do have some diamond in the rough sort of quality to them. The weapon hack appears to me to also greatly reduce the enemy damage output, which is great when those first super destructive killer "Average" agents show up... but she can't use it on Super agents (or at least the two I've tried it on?). Her ability to erase suspicion is borderline useless (agents escaping with suspicion doesn't feel like it matters?) EXCEPT it utterly neutralizes Agent X, she can tag Agent X, wipe his suspicion, then he wanders your base for ages, occasionally getting an update from Janet, leave Patriot zones clear to pillage with little effort! Also, I'm using her with Emma, so when Symmetry broke out of my vault with super strong Average agents, Janet was able to hack 2 of them to stop being super minion murder machines, which may actually be pretty amazing? Except, not compared to double Jubei Flow, or Silver Guns, so... meh.
Janet need a buff.
She is like a discount Sombra.
Loved it, I usually use Iris as a meatbag while the minions with pistols and rifles just do damage from range(Whats even cooler is that a lot of enemies doesn’t lose their aggro on Iris when she uses her self heal and with Emma it is pretty cheesy) and minimizing losses. It’s pretty much a good way of avoiding minion desertions b/c of dead body debuff. Anyways good vid.
Oh man, the combo with Emma is so good there :)
Eli and Jubei are the powerful Duo. Eli can cover both deception, tank and long range dps while Jubei is the hard hitter in anywhere.
Eli and Jubei are definitely the way to go if you are in need of some extra muscle.
It even works characterwise: Jubei probably knew Eli Barracuda Sr. during their time working for the previous evil genius, So working with his son that has a similar fighting style is easier for him to work with.
@@ivanivan744 I was suspected that Eli Jr's mom is Alexis.
@@ZetsubouGintama
Jubei: "Ah, the young upstart takes the place of his old man. Face like his father, Wit like his mother, with the ambitions of both"
Eli Jr. :"How's my aim?"
Jubei: "Terrible. You need three bullets to kill someone. Your father only needed one"
@@ivanivan744 To be fair super headshot is sound OP. But I wish Eli Jr. have his father's disco ability. But silver tongue and distract stunlock is good combo.
Very good guide, thank you! I used Eli first and I think whenever I run the other 3 evil geniuses he'll be my first pick for all (except maybe Jubei for Ivan).
Solid choices, good luck out there :)
Eli and Jubei are the best starter.
janet is not the only way to lower suspicion. Casino welcome desk and the complain desk both lowers agents suspicion, personally have a welcome desk at each entrance and a complain one near an area where they might find some.
Ah good point. I've now got a nice welcome desk and complaint desk in my casino too :) I set up little red ropes to funnel people past my welcome desk rather than build multiples and I actually really like the way it looks.
@@TeddyNinja Oooh! Love the idea of using the ropes to funnel people, did something basic with them by just blocing off certain paths. Will have to consider your idea for my own thing. Got a kitchen and sleeping quaters seperate from main base and made sure the food is only open for deception minions. Prevents workers and guards from strutting through and get into fights with agents. Though I do lose deception minions when agents stumble in there before being lead back.
I believe a good use for Iris' second ability is if you don't put cameras in certain corridors you can have her run to that corridor if you spotted agents and then use that ability to trigger guard reinforcements to come to her aid, the camera effect doesn't have to remain active the whole time from my understanding so just quickly turn it on, trigger the reinforcement wave, then use her to stall the enemies (or kill them all) until your reinforcements arrive to help out. Otherwise it's hit or miss if guard minions will end up in a position to help her. Still pretty situational though.
That is a good point, as long as the guards get triggered (even for a moment) they will follow through and show up.
I am thinking Iris is the har counter to Olga whrn she coming front door.
Greet Olga and her team with Iris then activate a camera when Olga started shooting then seeing all muscle in the base coming to teared up the female Dirk Master like a hungry hounds.
A very important power of Iris is her camera view!
Because with that, it s the only way to call all muscle to the fighting scene, if there is no camera or if the camera doesn't work.
I can see you're playing on a potato... Good content either way keep up the good work

Welcome Desks and Survey Stations in the cover operation can lower suspicion.
Janet Bombe should have knives instead the scramble skill and be named Hack Slash.
And she should say re-BOOTING when she throws her kicks. (can we get @The Burning Sensation consulting on the DLC of this game for us?)
The puppy trap at the end of the research line also lowers suspicion.
Yes! I've named mine "Doug." Clara Jones also has an ability that lowers agent suspicion.
Janet is not the only way to lower suspicion a quiz table can do that job better than her since you have to waste a henchman slot on her
Haha, sorry Janet but sometimes the truth hurts.
Interestingly, each of the starter henchmen could double down on your evil genius Eli is best for max due to his all rounder, iris is best for zalikia for science Janet is best for Emma in counter spying and jubei is best for red Ivan doubling down on attack
Yep, they give a rough color code to matching the specialization of henchmen and evil geniuses so at a glance you can double down on your strengths or go for something to help balance out your team. Put me on team Max + Eli though!
Funny thing is Jubei was Max's starter henchman in EG1
I'm surprised that there is no unique dialogue between the returning characters and Eli Jr I hope this gets patched later on
@@herbertvonbismarck8303 agreed.
Bombe is on referenced a super computer used during world war 2.
Forgive me if I’m wrong but isn’t Janets name a reference to the people who hacked the enigma machine?
Close! It was a device used by the people who hacked the Enigma Engine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombe
@@ZakaryKuntze oh thanks
Ah thanks, I was kinda hoping someone might respond to my little rant on Janet. Makes me feel a little better about her.
I think juibei is the ebst he can literally teleport anywhere on the floor thats op snd also hes a great fighter (so he fits with red ivan)
yeah,Janet was actually the first henchman (or henchwoman) I picked, I thought she would fangirl over you and be funny, like "MAX am your biggest fan, I loved when you conquered the world" but no, and she is also terrible.
Anyone found full metal Jackie yet? I can't figure how to get her mission
Don't get Eli or Jubei.
@@ZetsubouGintama damn....got eli already.
welp, next playthough then....anything needed to trigger her mission or just turn up on its own?
@@morrogin5986 late game, like quantum chemist late, don't recruit eli, Jubei, magnolia ming & daniel, then you can unlock her, note that once you do have her, you can get those 4. Painful to not get all the best muscle boys for most of a run just for her.
@@Juniperius7 it actually makes sense from what i have read about her back story.
he apparently attacks you coz she is after the doomsday weapon to sell. prop needs to be that late and not be too strong or she just gets scared off
@@Juniperius7 Sounds almost as annoying as how I got locked out of every single side story trying to get Daniel because I needed to kill Agent X after I'd already taken him out permanently lategame.
what about the other henchmen?
Full tier list coming soon! Wish I had it ready to go now but it's still a work in progress.
Only four? There are around eight henchmen.
There are actually 11 :)
Full tier list coming soon. Hate not having it ready yet :( but that's how it is.
@@TeddyNinja Good luck getting Full Metal Jackie. I heard her questline is very broken
@@ivanivan744 haha Thanks! I just put out a video about her... So frustrating to get.
honestly Janet is just a hard pass in all aspects and unfortunately Jubei and Eli are as well if you want full metal Jackie because they at this version have to be your enemies to allow her side story to work so your kinda stuck with iris because of this.
Yup, IRIS is fine but she's no Jubei. If you are planning on getting jackie Iris is probably the best henchmen you are going to be able to get early. I have issue with parts of Incendio and fugu's kits and don't love carl or clara either so it makes jackie really a pain.
Dude, put up videos with higher resolution. WTF this isn't 1996 guy.
Even my friend had to ask "Is this a video about Evil Genius 1"?
Anyone on team Max and Eli? I am!
I like fugu furukawa more 😍
How is this guys game lagging at what looks like the lowest setting, on a stylized game no less
Ok….
Who let fricking spy from tf2 in for the beginning?
i really like your content i just wish you wouldn't make that cringe children voice.
Lol 😂 how lagging your gameplay 😂😂😂😂
