Devotion kinda sucks

First off the lemurian can and will die and when it does it drops a scrap of the rarity of the item you gave to it.

Secondly there are some items it wont take, like the spare drone parts, so if your plan was to mass regen scrap and spare drone parts to have a huge col droneman army your sh out of luck.

The only viable items for any significant dps assists are ignition, tesla and razorwire.

The best character to use them on is simply a bungus stationary turret engineer, aiming for 30+ bungus to spread out a viable healing field to keep them alive, coupled with mercurial rachis to buff their damage, now you have viable pets.

Other then that, the reg crappy drones are better.

Have not tested it enough to see if elder lumerians can spawn

They will evolve into elder lemurians after 2 stages. I just gave mine a medkit and other survival items at first. All the lemurians share items so you can just add damage later.

[shrimping]

i love the artifact a lot personally, you should try experimenting with a bit more items on them and you might be surprised with how strong they get!

it's also worth noting that you can give them shipping request form which i would not be surprised if they blacklisted that eventually. oh and also doppleganger kills will help them level up quicker so thats also nice.

Guess i shall experiment more later.

Do you happen to know if effects stack too?

Like if i gave recruited 20 of them each with soldier syringe they'd all have 300% attack speed?

Thats exactly how it works. And its exactly why srf is broken as all hell lmao.

So funny how they blacklisted the usual suspects but not shipping request.

[Dreams of Fury]

Gave my second one a medkit since they "share" items and they did just fine until i didnt realize in stage 2 they wandered into a void field and died before i could clear the second one.

Fyi as loader you can pull them around.

[Rotten]

Ah, there it is. The "muh builds are the only viable option" kinda guy. I love min maxers

[Liro Raériyo]

the shipping request form is absolutely the strongest item to feed them, nothing like 20 drop pods that all have 1 or 2 reds in them, executive card just goes brrrr as you hoover up more reds then whites every stage

and to think we thought command runs gave you a god run, THIS is the real cheese artefact now.


that said, good items to give would be things like cautious slug and a couple medkits early, they dont have any natural healing so will bleed out from chip without these, after that id suggest items like shurikens since they travel much faster then their fireballs while hitting much harder too, can give em bands after that so when shurikens do hit they hit extra hard, mired urn is also a great choice.

The lemurians die too easily, it's sad.
Will keep trying out and pray for medkit to spawn and for one of them to turn into mending type. Because at least you can repair your broken drones and keep a sizable support group.

[Tetsuya_Kurogane]

Guess the guys are Gearbox balanced this around easy because it's the only difficulty they are capable of playing. On hard these lemurians are useless compared to a drone.
I just had a crazy run with an army of elite elder lemurians. I noticed a few things.

1) They have bad path finding. They will get stuck in many parts of a stage. Aphelian Sanctuary is very confusing for them. They can also fall off (repeatedly...) map and considering their bad survivability, that's pretty bad.
I don't want to bring them to the moon, that sounds like a tragedy.

2) When they get an elite type, they can very well be Tier 2 or 3. Like, you will have them gain the Malachite or Perfected status just as likely than an elemental one. Since Tier 3 is much, much, stronger, that is just silly.

3) Odd-shaped Opal is bugged. Every time you awake a new lemurian, it will turn off on the remaining of the army. Then back on when you awake another one.
There might be many items that act weirdly. Need more testing.

4) They take a lot of space. Like, once you got a whole bunch of Elder ones running around you, they can get in the way of chest and teleporter icon. Also, it is a cluster mess of effects. (But that's nothing new for this game.)

Alas, the Shipping Request make it quickly go out of hand. Get 10 red items per stage, lol.

[Magenta Lizard]

It doesn't seem like they share items... I gave one a slug and the rest didn't start regenerating hp

Im no min/maxer, i refuse to even use a few items. Ive got 1800hrs played and most of that is experimental, ive a few builds i built ive never seen others use before and i play heaps of random multiplayer.

From what im gathering here, seems like ideally you want to feed them slugs, medkits, shurikans and shipping requests, that way they survive encounters long enough to turn into elders and provide you with a larger source of items.

So maybe com/sac/swrm/dev, cause there seems to be more drone spawns when sacrifice is on, first 3 lems should get slug and medkits, rest get shipping early for a better game in the long run.

If they do share items, if you give one a tesla, will they all receive the tesla buff?

Yea they all receive the tesla buff. Also frost relic, brilliant behemonth, aegis, wake of vultures works on whaetever lumerian got the kill. Any yellows that's not a summon like queens gland works. They don't really run so little disciple won't work.
