But then it just goes back to the checkpoint. You can't complete the mission unless you kill the guy
What? She has a ton of firepower, and especially in the beggining can take a punch (which you character can't), and thus can help a lot.
Altough yeah, I bought along glory instead for most of my runs because of her medkits. But now that I have the level 3 ones I bought those 4 instead.
Most MCs builds will either be combat builds with pistols and assault rifles, at which point yes they will be able to take a punch. With zero effort you can build out the gate a street samurai that will outperfom Eiger completely and will continue throughout the game.
Or your MC will be something else like a mage, adept or combat decker at which point eiger isn't that useful since fire power is already covered.
I've finished the game on hardest difficult multiple times and honestly, I never bring Eiger along except when doing her story mission/sidequests. Glory, Dietrich and Blitz are my core party members regardless of the build I have for my MC.
Yeah, that seems to be the most for me too. I'm on the last mission now though and since I will be needing the most firepower possible I bought her along instead of Glory.
But still... why would it matter even for the people that completed her storyline? Regardless of using her or not it perplexes me why one wouldn't do it.
Eh alot of gamers if they don't like a character bench then and don't do their sidequests, even try to dismiss them. It's nothing new.
I like Eiger, which I why I always do her quests, talk to her in between missions and the like. But mechanically she is the least useful. Even your dog packs more useful abilities and power then Eiger.
And as far as combat goes, Glory is just better properly build since she can have something like 7-8 AP per round with the right build on top of stripping AP and armor for enemies, having lots of HP and being able to blitz accrost the room to take out mages and other priority targets. And that's on top of being able to equip the Minigun, which opens all sorts of cheese with the right team combos.
It's not Eiger's fault, it's just the mechanics of the game. Damage is not how you turn every fight into a cake walk, striping AP/paralyzing enemies/ and overwhelming them by having 3 actions for ever 1 they take is.
That's why mages are the strongest characters in the game, they can shut down entire mobs for multiple rounds with just one spell.
you don't even need a mage to give Glory 7 AP. Use her addrenal implant that gives her +1 AP, then use the drug that gives +3 AP . Once you hit the 3 AP mid game. That means 7 AP with just equiping her with the right gear. Now consider that her claw attacks strip away AP from enemies and Glory becomes ludicrously cheesy.
Mind you none of this compares to a mage specializing in lightning and paralysis spells casting lightning ball, blind and such just shutting down enemies all day long from behind cover and killing them with obscene damage from lightning bolt III and the like
If an enemy can't act, it can't damage you. Therefore you don't need a medkit ;)
