The final Boss is a Bad Joke

[meef]

I never play these type of games so i choose the difficulty casual. Now I cant beat this game.. What is this difficulty of the final bossfight with its multiple phases aka. shieds. Was the intend to gate keep with this? This is literally the easiest game mode and I cant beat it, so git good doesnt count. This is supposed to be for casuals.. If I want a challonge I can set the game to maga ultra-giga hard, but this? Why?

EDIT: I grinded a bit and I have now 38 stars, yet cant beat the game, lol. If I could I would refund this.. Like what is the thought behind dat move from the Devs? Put a noob difficulty in the game but make it so that one cant beat the game if you are not in this genre?

EDIT 2: I just looked-i have 38 stars in the second sector, in total I have 116

This was the second turn-based shooter that I played (after X-COM Enemy Unknown). I found that Sally with the level 7 Tri-Shooter was useful for the shield disco balls - you get potentially four shots (3 from the weapon, plus one kill shot, plus more if you use Mad Dog). Valentine's Piercing Shot ability was very useful for hitting the shields behind the Crystal Golems. It's beneficial to first kill the two enemy spawning portals, and afterwards, focus all of your shots on the Vectron Boss and the shield disco balls - just move to evade the enemies - most of them don't do too much damage on casual, and you want to take out the Vectron Boss as soon as possible. Shooting Vectron Boss in its Christmas light with one of the scoped weapons also gives critical hits.

i beat it on my ipad when i was 6 on the hardest mode

[EzekielInnit13]

like i have beat the game 3 times on one progress. and once on another 3 diferant times. and almost beat it on my pc. All on the hardest diffuculty

u r a total noob

[EzekielInnit13]

but u should try using good weapons and leveled up characters. and also if u only have 36 stars, u r prob still on the scrapper world. which is the first out of three

What exactly are you having difficulty with? I just beat the game(on Veteran) and found the final boss a push-over
Vectron's units are powerful, but every single one has glaring flaws to exploit
As a useful rundown: Basic mooks, both versions, teleport towards you after attacking, this is to your advantage because it means you don't get into protracted shoot-outs the way the Royal Guard would hold you, a bit of cover and a clean way to kill them puts them down easily
Scissor Giants: Melee guys, you've seen em before in Scrapper and Royal flavors, just keep your distance, use your guys to restrict their movement around cover and elevators, and blast the knees for Cripple when you can
Turrets: The beam has an explosion, but the firing angle is locked the previous turn, just walk out of the way, its well telegraphed
Beam Giants: Same advice as turrets, but their beams do not explode on impact, vertical level movement is often the best bet, otherwise just pump and dump until they fall over
Bomb Spawners: Flank em, use Sharpshooter weapons to secure ricochet shots over the shield as well, the final boss only has the one but still, also, Sally is a great choice for bomb management, killing the 1 HP Bomb counts for Kill Shot, letting her swat them for minimal action cost
Barrier Orbs: They do nothing, just blast em when you have the chance
Barrier Giants: Weapons with Piercing or explosions let you confront them more easily, endgame you can use the Rare Assault Gun "Propulsion Capacitor" on Sally or Seabrass for example, beyond that, trickshots with Sharpshooters, or flanking, both work wonders

Vectron itself meanwhile is just a very large Beam Turret(who's beams do not explode), move whoever gets targetted out of the line of fire and blast his back, easy as
