How do you kill hordes of robots with a pure PSI build?

I usually have very high electronics (to craft high quality shield) for my pure PSI char so I just use EMP grenade MKIII + high grade HE grenades. If that's not possible I guess you can try Electrokinetic imprint + Electrokinesis.

That needs throwing... I wondered how would you face robots with pure psionics (no grenades, no mines, no stealth...)

Is that possible at all?

'Battery trouble' is the closest at hand and the shortest. Do not forget to buy explosives.

I'd pick Expose Weakness but i'm biased towards resistance reductions.

But is it necessary to kill the final boss, I wonder?

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks

Out of the things you've listed, I'd personally take Power Management. However, this is assuming that you can make use of it - do you have high electronics and all of the required materials? I'm not sure if you'll find the crafting materials for a new energy shield if you don't have them already (as in, I can't recall if Deep Caverns has anything like that).

Yes, there is top quality stuff lying around

I have no idea what the right choice for you is, but here's my thoughts on some of the traits you mentioned.

Grenadier sounds like a nice damage supplement if you can craft, but your post doesn't exactly make that clear and I assume you can't for whatever reason.
Otherwise I agree that it's really not worth it for grenades you find.

I could craft top quality grenades if I had a supply of grenade cases. So far I have found none (it seems that Leo only sells explosives, not cases)

Hi everybody, I have just registered

I am currently in Arke Power Station with a knife armed high critical chance level 23 character

My stats are 3 - 15 - 9 - 3 - 3 - 5 - 7, I have maxed melee and stealth and have good throwing, traps, lockpicking, hacking and crafting

The traits I have chosen so far are recklessness, skinner, sprint, interloper, quick-tinkering, vile weaponry, weaponsmith, crippling strike, cheap shots, fancy footwork, ripper, cut-throat, critical power.

I cannot decide what trait to choose in level 24

Expose Weakness seems the obvious choice for the final boss, but is it really neccesary? A two turn debuff with a four turn cooldown for a single enemy doesn't seem like a bargain.

Grenadier... I haven't found any grenade cases in Deep Caverns so far and the low end grenades you can find/buy don't cut the mustard

Expertise doesn't seem a good choice for a critical based character

Opportunistic... I don't stun enemies often

Power Management is a possibility only because the Caverns seem rife with high quality electronic stuff

Eviscerate seems logical for a knifeman, but I am not sure it's effective so far in the game

Taste for blood, ditto

Can anyone help, please?
