This is a good game…

Day 50 here on my first playthrough and really enjoying the management aspect and challenge. I played on realistic mode. Perimeter missions are hard but doable. Sans the melee mecha girl is awesome when the AI controls but bad when I do.

indeed. I gave her lots of chainsaws and its amusing when she jumps into a horde of enemies.

if only melee weapons were better. Maybe there are newer ones later on, but my craft list says otherwise.

Day 50 is about when the difficulty spikes and you fight Titan. I thought the game was pretty easy up until that absolutely brutal boss fight.

[glenn3e]

Yes I just beat Titan too. Wow that was hard, had to reset a few times to beat it. And Sans gets absolutely annihilated by the Titan.

[Carnack Ketral]

good to know. She has been my most deployed side chick through out the first half of the game so far.
As of writing this I am on day 42.

The Red needs to be manually controlled if you want her deployed for the fight of Titan. My personal way of defeating Titan is by using the Red to 'waltz' with Titan, since its rotation speed sucks.

I've tried to contact you via steam 'friends' system and leaving note on your personal page but it seems you failed to notice that. Would you mind checking your Steam personal page to see my note for you?

Thats exactly what i did. While she was busy attacking it like a rabid Pomeranian i had a WM3 HMG with damage and antishield just laying into it. Also, with red near the TItan he keeps his flamer on so you can see where hes at when he becomes invisible.

Titan boss is definitely overtuned af, that's for damn sure. I've been able to clear everything up to this point, but as of day 61, I'm locked from progressing because of Titan. No idea what to do, but I guess I'll just drop the game at this point since it's easier than restarting my entire save.

Just tired of constantly banging my head against the wall and dying entirely too fast (because of infinitely respawning enemies) while doing no damage to the boss at all. I can't even bring him down to red. It would've been nice to build UP to this, but the sudden difficulty spike out of nowhere, unable to really do anything, is a real mood killer, tbh. I was actually enjoying the game up to this point.

You might be able to beat him, make sure you bring the melee girl as your secondary, she is the only way you can keep him occupied while you do the damage. Your time limit is basically until she dies.

If you have them available, i HIGHLY recommend heavy machineguns with anti-shield attachments. For you other weapon something with high pen for guaranteed damage would be good. He has about 40k HP (not including the annoying shield.)

What weapons are you running?

[Fenrir]

yeah, I'm already running the anti-shield stuff on a shotgun (using a rifle as my primary with the shotgun as my secondary)

combat unit 1 is a heavy unit with a heavy machinegun while combat unit 2 is a mobile unit for melee

I've been running Mary and Cecile (or whatever the paladin/tank girl's name is, I forget) this whole time (she's using a howitzer)

[glenn3e]

You don't need Sans for this. I did it by moving to the corner and drawing the boss attention. Press tab and order your other forces in defence points flanking or shooting the Titan from behind. Make sure they are far from you. Draw the Titan's attention. Whenever it shoots, run clockwise and as it follows you dash anti clock wise through the beam BEFORE it reaches maximum output and does damage. Keep repeating while your allies shoot it from a safe distance.

Equip cold damage and an explosive weapon with Cold damage mod. The Titan can be frozen and and it loses invisibility and shields when it does so its free damage. This method netted me minimal damage.

I find the howitzer is bad, since its spread explosive damage can damage your allies. Cannons or Rapid grenades seem better as you can control the explosion better.

Yeah, I was trying to flank him, but he just outsurvives me because of the adds around him spamming me with lasers and ****, lol. I had no idea I could actually MOVE my allies from the strategy menu though.

I remember I clicked 'free formation' or something like that at some point, but I was dead, so it just told me "no one to control" or something of the sort. My units just stayed near the gate and never approached anything, and just got picked off from a distance by lasers, lol. I guess I'll try the ordering thing next time and see if it makes a difference.

[glenn3e]

Free formation and follow pretty bad. Usually defence will have them hold position at the spot so its good for flanking. And Kuroku who just sticks with you all the time.

Well, having them stay in place certainly isn't working, so I have to try SOMETHING. I have the combat units set to 'annihilate' or 'assault', I forget which. Either way, neither of them help much since they usually die even faster than I do, so gg, I guess.
