Yup. I approached the battles like I would with Jake and was massacred immediately. And even though I'm enjoying the game immensely, I think I still prefer using Jake. I like swords!
Wow, I regret not playing this game sooner. It's absolutely a blast! And just when I'm enjoying upgrading my Avalon, a content update hits the App Store, I just can't get enough of this game Rayark is the real MVP \m/ I have a lot of questions regarding some vaguely named stats, hopefully will be answered by you guys soon.
Updated!! Hahaha yes!! While playing as Jonathan, I always seem to forget that I have the other gun (laser); this is quite amusing! I had better remember so that I can pass these VERY challenging missions! Rayark, yes you are a beautiful and elegant developer! You always make us happy customers! This update is beautiful as well!! I personally like the size and scope of this update; I hope that in the future you can keep giving us such wonderful things! Thank you very much!! ^_^
Finally did it! Jesus...that was tough. You really have to vary your attacks. You can just button mash your way through this game. Gotta have a strategy.
Ha I realized why Avalon felt so weak after playing Jonathan. I only have him at level 18. Guess I need to do some grinding!
Avalon is a beast; but can be reduced to be a simple button masher. Jonathan requires planning. So much planning.
Apple's forums have been inundated with complaints for months now regarding the GC bug. They just blow it off saying it will be fixed, yet iOS after iOS updates come and go with no mention or fix. I'm liking the way you think though Cheers!
Finally got some time with Jonathan. Wow. Epic. Easily the most polished bad ass iOS game EVER created. All else pales in comparison, literally. Unmatched to this day.
Rayark urgently needs to amend the games need to connect to GC to load up. It's ruining the game for so so many, myself included. Every play I'm forced to log out of AppStore, reboot, log back in, reboot then open app to connect to GC to play. After closing the app and opening any other app then going back to Implosion fives me to go through this teadious procedure to play. Most everyone on TA is afflicted with the GC issue. Many other devs have updated their assets to allow play without the GC need.
I can't even get it to work after doing that whole damn process! It's reeeeeeaaaaallllyyy starting to piss me off! I want to frickin play this Jonathan character! I hate GC, it just breaks everything. And of course it had to break my favorite game! This sucks...please fix it Rayark!
So I think the best set (imo) is heal, stun, and rail gun. They all are extremely useful. Heal is self explanatory since you take immediate damage you need a portable medkit. Stun is amazing especially since Jon can't dodge as easily as the mechs it's better to stun everyone around you and run / blast them all to hell. Finally the rail gun. Probably stronger than any of the mech skills.. it's just... wow. No words for it. It 1 shotted 2 of the heavy gorilla mini bosses that would normally take me 3-5 minutes to kill. WOW. Mechs can't even do that damage. Anyone try it yet? That is the Holy Grail of weapons.
Is there a beginner's guide somewhere? There is zero hand holding in terms of equipping, what all that stuff means and how the heck all those slots work!
I'm not sure if it provides the information you're looking for, but I made a guide a while back. Others have also added some input as to useful equipment they've found: http://www.appunwrapper.com/2015/04/11/implosion-never-lose-hope-walkthrough-guide-tips-and-tricks/
I have a lvl 2 Railgun, but I haven't used it yet. The long cool down turned me off. I don't know what I'd sacrifice for that. I love my grenade.
