Where can I find the Lemurian Archive? I just finished most of the Expedition content and seem to have missed it entirely.

General / Underrail Expedition (Spoiler): Location of unique spear

« on: August 21, 2019, 06:27:45 am »

Hello,

I just finished the expansion, but cannot seem to find the unique spear: Lemurian Spear (https://www.underrail.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lemurian_Spear).

Can you please tell me where I can find it?

Thanks for all the advice so far HulkOSaurus and TheAverageGortsby - both posts were very detailed and helpful. I see Hulk's build as more melee-focused and TheAverageGortsby's build as more psi-oriented.

I did a test character on Hard using my initial build. I was really happy with the constant Fear debuff I was able to apply to the early-game critters (rathounds) using basic Metathermic spells, so I thought about integrating the Pyromania feat for my revised build. Happy to see that TheAverageGortsby's build has that feat included.

Some observations:

1. I unknowingly went with Hulk's suggestion of going for Quick Tinkering, given how much I relied on this feat on my previous melee and ranged characters. However, because of the added 25 AP cost to Quick Tinkering, I find it difficult to integrate this ability with my usual "ability" loop. I see myself run out of AP too quickly because of all the options I now have as a Psi user.

2. I also find myself regularly running out of steam mid-fight (0 Psi points), but I guess this is just part of being a low-level Psi user.

3. I also took Tranquility for my test character. I found myself hiding out in corners a lot more so I can take advantage of the AP reduction and spam more spells during the first few turns. However, I have a feeling this tactic would quickly lose its value as I progress through the game and encounter more ranged enemies. This "hide and peek" tactic also goes against my agressive "tanky spellcaster warrior" vision for the character, but I guess it's better to play smart than look cool.

Some things I want to test:

1. I want to find out how much value I would be able to get from the Parry / Riposte / Boarding Up feat combination. I still need a few more levels to get these feats.

Some follow-up questions:

1. Is Meditation useful (+25 max Psi points, requires Tranquility)? I thought about getting this feat given my "running out of steam" predicament. However, if I do invest in feats that increase my Psi damage instead as suggested by both, I would theoretically need to use less spells to finish fights.

2. What does "alpha strike" mean? When I first encountered this term, I thought it was a feat of some kind. However, I assume this means being able to finish off all / majority of the enemies in one turn?

3. @TheAverageGortsby: By "ThermoD", do you mean Thermodynamicity? If so, at which level would you recommend getting this feat based on the build you linked?

4. I am a bit wary of the Lunatic Mall mission during the Tchort faction questline. I had a bit of trouble going through this quest on my previous characters but managed to scrape by (mainly through stealth). What are your opinions on a non-stealth Psi character going through this quest?

P.S.
@Doxy: It might be heresy, but I had no idea there were Psi-oriented uniques for spears. Given this, I guess going for spears would work better for the "spell-warrior" archetype.

I still think a spellsword in Underrail would look cooler than a "spellspear". Oh well.

Builds / Need advice: Spellsword Build

« on: August 08, 2019, 06:49:41 am »

Hello,

I am trying to build a tanky spellsword build for hard difficulty. I have experience playing a melee and ranged character, but little with building psi characters.

Build URL (draft): https://underrail.info.tm/build/?HgYHAwoDDAUAMgDCoAAAAGRQAABpZBQoaQDCoMKgPDIAWl9jKz_CmcKOwqrCqxbCh8KEwowGwo1L378

Here's a quick breakdown of what I want to achieve:

1. Utilise sword and shield defensive feats
- Parry
- Riposte
- Boarding Up

2. Rely on Psi spells (more specifically, "aura abilities") to deal damage and boost defenses
- Exothermic Aura
- Cryo Shield

3. Above-average survivability
- Stoicism
- Thick Skull
- Parry
- Boarding Up

4. Have enough DPS for end game
- Getting flurry, cheap shots, onslaught, critical power later on

Current weaknesses of the build are:

1. Low agility (hence, no Sprint)
- I plan to compensate with striders + temporal manipulation movement / action points buff

2. Below average sword DPS
- My plan is to only use the sword during ripostes (0 AP attack) and rely on Psi abilities for dealing damage
- Ripostes will also be key in activating my Boarding Up buff

I need help with:

1. Feat choice
- Perhaps you could think of feats that can provide more value (especially on the Psi aspect of the build)

2. Optimised skill point distribution

Thanks for your time!

Hi epeli,

Thanks for making such a useful tool. I've been trying to access it the past few days but I always encounter an error page saying "underrail.info.tm took too long to respond".

Just wanted to let you know in case you weren't aware.
