Base attributes discussion

  1. Dexterity: Put 10 at character creation. Either level up to 15 and use Eel Sandwitches for combat. See below for the the attribute's importance.
  2. Intelligence: Either start at 6 for the [[[Eel Sandwitch]] variation, or 7 and end up with 16 [[[Dexterity]]] as per above.

Feats to avoid

These feats look beneficial, but only superficially. There are too many good feats to use one of these.

  1. Aimed Shot: It's only used for a Plasma Pistol sidearm with Critical Power. Postpone till late-mid game.
  2. Rapid Fire: We're focusing on burst fire AP cost. See below.
  3. Point Shot: Reasons as per above two feats.
  4. Suppressive Fire: Debatable. May help with kiting HP-sponge on the DOMINATING difficulty, but Nimble works too.

Important feats

  1. Spec Ops: Lowers Burst cost from 3x single-shot cost to 2x single-shot cost. With this feat and 16 Dexterity, 3 bursts per turn (before additional modifiers) are a reality. This is before Adrenaline Shot which itself is heavily recommended.
  2. Commando: Allows for yet another burst per turn, provided any enemy died during aforementioned three bursts.
  3. Sprint: Necessary despite lack of direct combat utility. See section below.
  4. Expertise: Increases damage a ton in mid- to late-game. Overall SMG damage is low. At level 12 with example average damage of 20, the increase is a bit over fifty percent.
