I would probably agree on that one. It was the first medium rarity ship I got and I was excited to try it but ultimately very disappointed. The reload is just too long and fire time too short for a weapon that must be aimed. Though the shots are quite powerful. I just didn't see it as being worth upgrading. I also found laser storm to be just plain inferior to middle swarm and mega laser inferior to mega bomb.
Hmm... Anyone else not get coins for the community mission waves? I started the new wave just now and didn't get any currency for completing the waves...
Make sure you have an active internet connection and do a few more runs. Sometimes I don't get the currency to show up, but Phoenix 2 has never failed to eventually offer it to me, even if I do more runs in the mean time that don't beat my furthest run.
Hmm, yeah I guess my connection was iffy... Played again and got the currency. Thanks for the heads up. =o)
Does anyone use the Fujin? Since it's the ship on the thumbnail I'd think more people would use it but I never see it on the leaderboards. How is its main weapon? Is it really worth 3000 credits to unlock? Billy
Actually I'm currently playing with the Fujin a lot. Its main weapon is a straight firing laser that pulses constantly. It feels more like a projectile that instantly hits the target right in front of the Fujin than a laser. I think this makes it a bit harder to play with, but it does hit hard.
Is it similar to the Elyon's lasers? I've been toying around with that as my backup (to Mist Star). I really like laser storm + kappa drive combination. I'm just not very good at dodging This game is fantastic, by the way. Keep up the good work!
Daily Mission #225 5-2 has a really hard boss - two aggressively seeking lasers and several kinds of thick long bullet walls. I think only the Trireme can clear? Anyone done this yet? https://twitter.com/Patashu0/status/764264377549590529
Firi, I'm #12 on the Daily mission but when I pull it up it won't show it. See pic. It shows 1-10 and then 15 and up. Do you know why? I've reloaded the game and it's the same result. Billy
Yeah... Im stuck in there with Mist Star, Juggernaut and Ogon. Mist Star isnt strong enough to burst down a turret to ease the next bullet waves, Juggernaut can only clear half the duration of a bullet wave, and cannot stop the beam lasers, and Ogon deals crap damage after it has destroyed one or 2 turrets. In any of the cases, the turrets hiding behind other turrets plus the 2 lasers are what makes the stage really difficult.
I managed to beat it by going to the left immediately and unloading a middle charge I had from 5-1. Then going slowly from left and right with the occasional teleport from the most extreme sides. However 5-3 is a totally different ball game. You get attacked immediately with tracking turrets and at least 12 lasers.
I did it with Mist Star... I had to go FAR BACK DOWN the screen on the previous stage and the start of 5-2 so that there are power orbs to pickup after i use the first Stun EMP. This allows me a second Stun EMP with enough range to stun BOTH lasers, which in turn allows me to destroy all 3 front turrets on the left side of the boss. This leaves the Rotary ones and the single laser on the right side to avoid which was more manageable. The next waves were relatively easy for Stun EMP to complete the stage.
Ya took me a couple of attempts with Trireme and after almost an hour of playtime I was able to clear it with Proxymar
If you havent yet im pretty sure you will before the reset. You and Zync are among the best of us, the rest of us just trailing bahind. Hahahaha
