Just keep going vs unbreakable? What you will choose? (Lethal)

[Herald Rejn]

So you have 3 survivors to choose traits for. What you will choose? Unbreakable or just keep going? (Blood plague survivors is kinda useless so it's only about this two traits.) Or maybe you have best TRAIT for lethal that you always use other than this two?

Unbreakable - always. You can manage fatigue with coffee and other stuff so pass on just keep going. Blood plague survivors not useless atleast 1 of 3 starting survivors should have that bcs getting samples early is hard and infection early on = death. Immune survivor could be the main dude who deals with reds and briings those samples home.

better take someone with high medicine and give him pathology. It's way more better than blood plague survivor becouse he have high ressistance and drop much more samples. I never have problem with plague samples, bigger problem is to make plague meds becouse it cost 2 medicine and i always spend all my meds on that xd And yes, unbreakable i think will be better becouse of spending all meds on plague meds.

Wait. How do you kill someone who is unbreakable? People die when wounds take over all hp. But unbreakable can't have wounds so how to kill someone with this trait?

Personally I would rather have workaholic.

Well thats right but why not both - blood plague survivor is a trait not a skill . I mean I could take clean blood survivor and just teach him medicine. Now I have a Pathologist that is immune to blood plague.

thats just waste of trait becouse pathologist give you much more ressistance to blood plague and also you often get hero bonus for another 100 blood plague ressistance so it makes his trait useless. Better take something more usefull

Unbreakable Survivors can still die because even if they can't be injured, they still lose health, and if they hit 0 health, then they will still drop into "Fight For Life" status, during which time they can be killed if they take enough damage before they are able to get back up.

On higher difficulties they can also be killed via a head-shot from a hostile Survivor as well, just like with any other survivor. A downed Unbreakable Survivor can still be insta-killed by a Feral or Juggernaut. They can still die to Blood Plague. Etc.

No Survivor is ever "impossible" to kill in State of Decay. Some just have a harder time dying than others do. Some Survivors are stubborn like that. :P



If you ever want the closest thing possible to a Survivor that will never die, then you'd want a Survivor with Unbreakable, Blood Plague Survivor, Immortal, & either Indefatigable or Just Keeps Going. The first two traits grant immunity to Injury & Blood Plague respectively, Immortal helps give their health an extra boost (they could have an HP total that approaches 300 by the time they are maxed out, which is triple that of most "average" Survivors!) and Indefatigable/Just Keeps Going helps them maintain their Stamina over longer periods while also mitigating the severity of Fatigue. Good luck finding that kind of trait combination without using a save editor of some sort though.

Higher HP is great.
Higher Stamina is also great (better in long run, PUNS!).

Depending what you're kind of going for, depending on your skill.

Higher HP is great for obvious reason. You can live long enough to reach the skills for kills.... and not get torn by a feral. Also, when you're at like 300HP you MIGHT not be 1-shot by hostile humans.

Higher Stamina: More dodging, running, Snap Aiming, standing executions, etc. Of course, you could always just carry stamina regen for emergencies (i do so on Lethal). Snap aim seems to work as long as you got 0.1% (constantly up if stamina has a regen buff). Yes, this game is.... kind of broken (also literally as you repair your vehicle to watch it fly 300ft away).

** Probably one of the better traits is plague resistance, but really only on Lethal. Nightmare, i don't recall it was still much of a problem.



5th skills: Depends on your playstyle, but you probably want Computer(+outpost, drone strike), Chemist (Godliest thanks to 50 plague hearts) and 3rd i dunno. Perhaps 3rd is utilities for those Hydroponics (small slot amazing farm). A Doctor for infirmary health boost is also great.


So,
HP is probably the most important, because while stamina is also important: You can just take drugs (drugs a broken). Clearly 5th skills are kind of important, but depending.

All is irrelevant when 3 feral comes in and tear you apart in 5 sec.
