[1.8j|U|AoB|YAAM] Berserk assassin
« on: November 29, 2024, 23:38 »

The funny part is I only did this run because I was curious to see if you could use targeting mode in conjunction with "assassinate" trait to assassinate inanimate objects like doors and furniture.  It turns out...  you can not...  but it turned into a nice YAAM UV game anyway.  :)  This would've been a Berserker Gold badge if I hadn't already gotten it, though I think it's worth noting that I'm pretty sure I previously achieved it in an earlier version of the game before Dante or medusae existed, so this still had some significant difficulty.

I've come to the conclusion that Assassinate is probably the best melee master trait in the game, as long as you're careful with it.  It's really easy to accidentally teleport yourself into the middle of a crowd of dangerous enemies, so it's always important to be mindful of that, trying to isolate enemies or at least maneuver them into a position that when you teleport to them, you'll be behind cover.  The fact that it has a 100% to hit chance made it vital for taking out medusae;  any other build would have had a lot more trouble with them, I think.  I had stockpiled gas grenades to help me deal with medusae, but they turned out to be unnecessary.  :)

I made the decision to invest in four levels' worth of traits to get whizkid 3, because I was running low on healing sources and I needed the auto-repair on the medi-fibre armour.  (Or so I told myself;  I didn't actually reach that level until partway through Shattered Abyss, so I guess I was doing okay)  :P  I'm a little surprised to realize that I had 6 stim packs left over at the end, but the 2 ancient salves I got plus the end level large medkit proved more than sufficient for my healing needs in the final battle.
