Banished crew

[GaviJa]

I thought banishing a crew removes it and its weapon from the random pool.

Banned Kat and I had her katana at the 1st upgrade

Not the weapons, just the crew members.

IMO, some captains are still pretty worthless so i just sell them back so their worthless junk never fills my level ups.

Like Scarlet (second character the red head) is pretty worthless by her self. IE If a captain can not solo then i do not use them.

Vermillion. Every captain "can solo." There's literally a solo challenge for every character.

Currently (EA Build 911) all regular, solo and loyalty challenges are completable.

The only one I really struggled with was Corrosia. It took 5 attempts. 4 of them annoyingly ended on wave 118 or 119 before I finally managed to complete it on the 5th attempt.

Shortly after that, playing another character, I accidently knocked the right analogue stick on the controller and remembered you can manually aim the weapons. DOH! It would have made that solo challenge so much easier if I had of remembered while playing it.

Vermilion is the only solo ive tried so far and i did it first try. She seems very strong to me.

All captains can solo, I've done them all. Vermillion is one of the easy solo challenge clearing captains for sure. Ravebow on the other hand is difficult.

Doesn't remove the weapon. And good thing too, cause I use 360 nova and ban Rosanova because you can get the primary benefit of the weapon and then use another captains better passives.

The achievement rates speak for themselves; Vermillion has more than twice the completion rate of Ram and Corrosia. Furthermore, Corrosia has a Loyalty mission and Vermillion doesn't.

While true "technically," the devs aren't sadistic and don't put impossible achievements in. They can ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ solo.

Ravebow is actually not too bad now after the buffs (and then partial nerf again?) she got following the solo missions release; I'd say just a bit worse than Vermillion and TeslAI. She was mega booty at first but after doing it again recently now I'd put her easily above Ram and Luna for solo, whereas before she felt even worse than Luna to me (Ram is fine except for bosses, which are... ugh. Though that got buffed, too).

A few weapons stand out as GREAT, some weapons "360 nova" really want upgrades before they do anything. Some weapons perform better AIMED "nova and fireball being the stand outs here, damage sucks unless it gets funneled toward a target." Give every weapon a chance, the purpose I feel of the solo challenges is giving the weapons their opportunity to shine while showing their weaknesses.

I think the second girl is one of the best ones tbh, Especially since you can start her with Upgrades from the Meta progression tree, but also fireballs are just very good, since they destroy absolutely everything that comes close to you, Ofc something like Katanas have lots more dps, but they´re really unreliable and often you end up getting hit before they deal with it

[MeteoImpact]

I feel like the weapons right now are about 50/50, half of them being very strong at what they do, and the other half being somewhere between just a bit worse than the other similar options, or actually just bad. Laser Strike and Wolf Pack are probably the stand out bad weapons (though Ravebow has an incredibly strong captain passive).

As for who "can solo" content, Ravebow's loyalty challenge is possible even with ONLY RAVEBOW, despite her having one of the bottom two weapons in the game. So in the current state of the game, everything is "good enough" for at least the basic objectives. Going deep into Endless is a different story, but honestly Endless is so busted balance-wise (it's not especially hard to go for hours and end up just quitting before you're actually at risk of dying) that it probably isn't a serious concern at this time.
