Hey! Someone who uses Anya. Good to see. :DEven the strongest attacks are not any good, if the character is dead.
I personally discarded the shadowlings myself.Same here. The only shadowling I voted for is Festus.
And why did you decide to discard the Shadowlings? (Curious whether you were driven by same reasoning.)I liked the other characters better. Darkling and Niven attacks were not very useful. Shadowboxer's Dark Vortex caused too little damage for the cost of PsP.

The old forums have a thread with information about the character upgrades at Hellion's (http://sinisterdesign.freepowerboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=158).
Hmmm, that's a good point. I guess 9 damage is pretty good for a sniper.While I hope that wasn't sarcasm, it isn't that bad for such a long range blast, also, it can be upgraded, plus it can do backstab damage, so, with a little maneuvering, Dorgon can help you win almost any battle.
Thanks! Er, do you know when Dorgon gets Burst Shot?I have written down 12 Power and 20 Power but no attack names besides my notes, so I assume that Burst Shot is attained at 20 Power. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, why do so many people like him? His attacks seem awfully weak and situational for me. I've only ever hit two people in the time I've had him - never managed to line up three in a row.
Flint has greater strength, but even worse mobility, and Niven has slightly greater mobility, but his aren't the strongest attacks in the game. I guess this means that no character is better than the other, they are all balanced in some ways, probably to get you to experiment more party combos and not discuss which character is better than which.
the reason people pick jack over guy is because gamblin jack can heal people and he has som powerful move and guy's pyro blast barely even does anythingGuy has the option of using a powerful area attack or powerful single hitter. Jack is limited to attacking one person at a time.
pyro hail barely even does anything when guy uses itThat is because you don't train Guy's Psy Power very high.
Guy can get just as strong as Shadowboxer.At the same Psy Power, Guy's attacks are more powerful than shadowboxers
Ah, similar to who is your favourite teammate thread back in the old days!I still don't understand how to attain 13 speed for Flint.
Not an easy question, that!
Depends really on who the rest of the team are and what tactics you employ.
I'll go quickly through the list, categorize, etc.
Anya and Festus: healers. I'll go for Festus over Anya due to them having similar attacks, yet Festus having greater map coverage via his ability to fly and his greater speed.
Flint, Dorgon: golems. I'll never choose Flint, although he is fun to tinker around with, and is, in fact, the fastest unit in TRPG2 (by using his speed boost attack, he can attain speed of 13), I find he is a bit cumbersome to use and is, in general, very slow. Dorgon is also slow, but his attacks have a much higher range. So, with same mobility, but much higher range, go for Dorgon.
Gambli' Jack v Helena: melee fighters. Difficult one to call, his Snake Eyes can be pretty good, and he can heal and Recover, but Helena has this smooth all-around Whirlwind attack... Let's split it between them for now.
Guy, Grotius, Shadwoboxer: effectively Psy Fighters. Well, range-wise, Grotius loses out, as his area attack covers the least spaces. He does have high hp though. Guy loses out on mobility and inability to fly, but has Pyro Hail hitting 5 tiles. So, to a degree, Grotius and Guy are almost equal. Now, Shadowboer's attack covers 9 tiles, has same range, and he is a flying unit iwth greater speed (8) than the other two. Go Shadowboxer.
Darkling and Niven: mobile, individual assassins. Niven is a very odd Shadowling indeed, apart from his dodgy taste in food, he uses non-Psy attacks. It can be quite powerful and Trick Shot sure does the trick in some situations where all other units pass up. Both are flying units, Darkling a little faster (9 v 7), Darkling also has Shadow resistance, Niven doesn't. Darkling, however, can only learn either Feedback or Shadow Blast, meaning that in former case he is quite self-reliant, whilst in latter case he posses a good ranged powerful blast, but is quite weak in the health side. Probably Darkling edging Niven very slightly due to mobility.
Ok, I probably would go for a mobile unit, probably with a ranged attack, to sneure that I get the best field coverage. And that means it will likely be Shadowboxer.
