I decided to make another try at AoI, now that we have Master traits. :) I wanted to try a hybrid build, part melee, part ranged weapons. I figured I'd get Vampyre, so I would have an extra source of healing, since I can't carry med kits, besides my starting one.
It used much of the same strategy as my recent AoV game at the beginning, up until I started getting levels in Vampyre and got a really nice Av3 Chainsaw with boosted damage, (100) boosted accuracy, (40%) and Hunter 20. I was
reeeally looking forward to using it on the Summoner, but then I discovered...
...leading from Beyond 1 that took me to a special melee-only level that had a "Demonic Sword" as the reward that does just as much damage, and has an additional Vampiric perk, so I could steal more life. :) The "Swordmaster" boss there fell from two hits of my chainsaw, which is fortunate, since he did about 50 damage per hit. I had to use my starting med kit there, which I had been hoping to save for the Summoner fight.
Considering that Vampyre trait only heals you from organic kills, you might think it's a bad idea to enter CRI Armory, which is full of mechanical enemies, and you'd be largely right... and you would also be smally right, and mediumly right too... what was I thinking? That was a dumb place to go. :P I just happened to have a modded plasma rifle at the time and a ton of energy cells, so I figured I'd be okay, and I was, but it was a lot of painstaking sniping of CRI bots (and one MkII CRI bot!) from a distance, not to mention the CRI Marines, which I discovered don't have a melee attack and kept hitting me with a painful energy weapon attack when I tried to heal myself on them with my chainsaw. I didn't get to really put the Vampyre trait to use until the last few levels of the game.
Oh well, in the end, I emerged victorious, the Summoner falling from three hits of my Demonic Sword! :D (Though I found I really missed the chainsaw's accuracy boost at the end, since I kept taking painful hits that reduced my tohit chance to 50%) :| And now, I have the Eagerness Gold Badge, which is the last of the Steam achievements available, which as of this writing, has a 0.3% achievement rate. Go me! :D
