소개

A common reaction to the Enemies 2.0 update is to call it unfairly difficult. 나는 동의하지 않는다. If you don’t mind making use of the strongest tools the game offers, you’ll be able to deal with anything it throws at you, which makes for a fun challenge. 그 다음에, dying is almost always the result of your mistakes, which is the highest praise you can give to a roguelike.

Almost everything this build uses was nerfed at one point or another. 밝혀졌습니다, it’s still possible to assemble a more than a competitive powerhouse. Kudos to Jeffrey for not nerfing stuff into oblivion.

Explanation for Some Mod Choices

Emergency Systems

The inconspicuous centerpiece of this build and the biggest change from old Wingman builds. ~ 안에 2.0, the worst threats do high burst damage, 특히, these delightful fellows:

Almost a second of invulnerability on having our shield broken gives invaluable opportunity to avoid many otherwise certain deaths.

Tempest Break

Given 1, the shorter our shield’s cooldown the better. Other perks are welcome too.

No Apex Machinery

Emergency Systems don’t work with Shielded Constructs. We don’t need it anyways, our Allies are strong enough as is.

No Overseer

Nowadays it only gives +1 to advanced constructs, so not much point in giving up our weapons for another Ally, and considering 3, we’d have to take a filler mod too. 일반적으로, two Allies clear out small fry by themselves just fine, so keeping our weapons means we can stockpile rockets to deal with bosses or other particularly troublesome waves.

Additional Tips

평소처럼, for improved consistency, you can take Research first to banish useless mods.

Always try to be moving around in the central part of the battlefield to have time to react to dangers from any direction, but having taken Warp Strike don’t be afraid to escape various nasties by screen wrapping.

Avoiding dangers is by far the top priority, especially while the shield is broken. Shoot once you get in a safe-ish position, and dont fret about losing some exp orbs.
