How Do You Use Selma.

[discuit]

Hi all,

I can't seem to find a "role" for her. I'm not saying she doesn't have one, I just haven't found it yet I guess.

So what do you see her role as and how do you use her kit?

Cheers.

I found her useless - the skill set is nothing special and is just the second worst character after Dux.

Just replace her when you can. But replace dux first, he is the worst by far.

Dux is amazing (skull splitter is ok, robot disable is always welcome, alpinist and silent assassin are really strong specially and wings synergize with everything else),
Selma is underwhelming, Joker I have no idea how to use, it never seems to work, enemies just attack whoever and ignore it, not sure if the skill is bugged or needs to be used differently than I do. Tree hugger is kinda ok, wish it was 2 turns duration. Overall I guess she is combat oriented with lots of mobility, but you kinda kill most stuff silently so yeah...

Selma is clearly designed to be the straight forward "soldier", hunkering down in cover, quickly moving from cover to cover, flanking with superior positioning and so on. Works great with a Pipegun/AR and level 2 armor west. Oh and yes utterly useless as the game qickly becomes unplayable if you don't stick almost exclusivly to stealth kills.

Two Words

TREE HUGGER!

Tree hugger is pretty good vs zone dogs. Besides that there is not many pure melee enemies in the game so other characters probably better.

[LastGameLastGame]

Once you get to Iron Serpent and find that charge immunity armor, you are immune to zone dog dmg....completely. Also, that seems to be the last zone that has any dogs so....yea.

Tree hugger is still useful in straight up combat cuz you can keep a whole group outside of any cover for a turn. But as said, on higher difficulty stealth is just the only way to go and Selma has no stealth bonuses making her situational at best.

She might be useful when taking down Tanks with Tree Hug, they seem to actually be the biggest threat in the game and you can't really stealth kill them cuz of all the armor and they are immune to Hog Rush. Unless there is some special tactic against them.

Selma is the best lol...

+50% crit from high position
passive to get there (which you remove when you are in pos)
jump is the best gun'd run
2x attack per turns
and her root is beast.

the fox and dux are the 2nd best. fox possibly > dux, because +20% crit as a passive passive

Dux is great, using his wing mutation paired with extra critical chance from high ground passive is awesome. With a shotgun and long range rifle he's good at any range. I also use Magnus or Farrow depending on whether I'm fighting organics or machines. But Selma, I agree fell to the wayside. In the promo vids she appeared to have the stoneskin ability, dunno why they moved it to Dux.

You abuse highground bonuses and twitch shot. Root is one of the best abilities in the game. Taunts are useless on everyone because if you get shot more than once in an encounter you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up.
