General / Re: Some questions about energy shields

« on: June 14, 2024, 08:18:01 pm »

Use Low/Low.

Shields by its nature work well vs distant/fast attacks and poorly vs slow ones. You will never get a a good very low speed value (50 is close to impossible), but you can get decent crosbow protection. Also use efficient convertor for better shield eHP.

Against melee attacks you should employ different means of defence depending on your build. Metal armour, Moving away, stun/fear, bear traps etc

Fatal throw is not about the "finisher", its about the AP refund, you spend +-9 AP, and get 27 in return, giving you 2 shots extra in BT, and unlike killing spree you can do this before and after stasis.

Constitution is too high unless you really love it. Perception would offer you more.

Thick skull is bait imho. Not sure if you need that many point in TM.

Aegis does not have a side effect.

« on: March 04, 2024, 04:37:53 pm »

There is quite more perks that are good with chemical pistols (aimed shot, point shot, kneecap shot, execute, opportunist, steadfast aim, sharpshooter ...)

But best synergy for sure is with crossbow and deadly snares.

That is correct. You need to use them and have the necessary skill to unlock doors/containers.

LMG + Grenade launcher. Thats why we never saw him because Heavy duty was not out.

It is linked to the world, so yes you can import. Coral works via trigger so you can meet her after 10h, even if you visit all locations she can be in, and many of them are also after drilling.

Build that has imho most interaction with crafting and has most engaging combat are crossbows. They are weak vs armour but have good versatility in special bolts that will force you to craft. Usually coupled with traps to guaranteed criticals when ambush is not available. Some people use versatility and pair them with chemical pistols for entaglement.

They are by no means strongest in underrail, but still good enough to complete the game (if you prepare well).

I'm playing on Dominating difficulty.
I can see a change in prices when I equip and unequip Waist Pack (+10 Mercantile), but there's no change when I upgrade my Mercantile by 10 or more.
Also after levelling up and upgrading my Mercantile skill, equipping and unequipping Waist Pack does not change prices anymore either.

Cap on sell price on DOM is quite low (25%) so you can reach it relatively quickly. I do not know exact numbers from top of my head.

Special trader with unique AI logic. Will always know what you need depending on your build, have it for sale and want for it a bit more than you have. When you return with more cash the price will increase, or the item will be temporrly sold out (and marked as such so you know.)

Builds / Re: Need advice for Dominating Psi-Punchman w/ a shield.

« on: December 10, 2023, 05:37:48 pm »

Fists are fine, and if you go without gloves STR gives you unique bonus that the %increase from STR (5%) is multiplicative not addditive. But you also suffer more DR/DT (140% compared to normal 125%). As for armour can go so called nimble tin can (Supersteel while trying to stay under 20% armour penalty for lightning punches) or go leather. For dex, generally 12 is cap as that will bring your AP cost to 4 per punch (7 base, -1 tabi -2 lightning). Con is overrated, your main defence should be running away with dozens of MP made via fancy footwork.
