![]() ![]() Then, the usual a pain like needles behind my eyes, the taste of iron at the back of my throat, glimpsed memories of impossible structures. “Jim says it’s great”, I thought, even though I’d never heard Jim mention the game. It all started when the Hivemind raised a node-brow in the direction of Ultratron’s Steam and demo release. Could I really have spent half an hour with one hand splayed across the WASD keys and the other strafing the mouse back and forth across its shabby pad, aiming the most neon of laser-death blasts at spawning squads of adorable robot-killers? I’m supposed to be playing deep and serious strategy games that would lose a race with Timothy Squints, the snail with the ten tonne shell. ![]() Did I really just destroy one of the four Robots of the Apocalypse, accompanied by a pet drone, a defence turret and a pulsing soundtrack? Then the game exploded and I’m sitting here looking at my desktop wondering if it was all some form of fever dream. When I reached the end, unhappy emoticons exploded onto the arena floor around my character, who had also exploded. Ultratron is arena-based, robot dismantling particle heaven. Sometimes, naturally, the power-up is a score-spewing giant fruit. Everything leaves glowing tracks or showers of sparks. Note about range gear being used for mage def while meleeing: in this case arma is not desirable due to negative melee accuracy.I just noticed that the spotlights are following me and that arrows flash at the side of the arena right before a power-up twinkles into view, hovering across the screen and leaving trails of excitement.crystal/arma are basically the same, minor pros/cons to each. Range top/bottom: blessed dhide (or even black dhide) is 99% as good as crystal or arma. Mage top/bottom: note that ancestral has dmg%, oftentimes on low mage def enemies ancestral can be downgraded to nothing (just pray bonus/tank gear) (mention some gear that are generally low impact and therefore can be downgraded very readily: arma, bcp, tassets, arcane, acb, kodai, dfs, rapier/saeldor/mace, avernic: don't get until bow/scy. When the suggested equipment in a guide is out of the player's availability, it is very helpful to know what downgrades are available. vorkath: dhcb or lance, bcp for the def.They are usually impactful for that specific boss but will provide less utility in other places. Good upgrades but can be resold when close to a big item: dwh, buckler. Bosses can be done with gear worse than this, but it is not recommended unless your skill level is higher than the target audience for this article and therefore you won't find much benefit from reading this anyway.Ĭore upgrades: rigour, zenytes, bgs, fero gloves This gear is highly effective and cheap, and should be available to any player looking to learn high level pvm encounters. Show a setup each for mage/melee/range gear, with an inventory of other/special weapons on the side These are assumed and should be acquired whenever convenient: they cost only time to obtain, and are very powerful for how early in account progression they are available.īaseline gear: abyssal whip, dragon boots, glory/fury, occult necklace, slayer helm, blowpipe, toxic trident, god books. Untradeable items: fire cape, fighter torso, elite void sets + crystal halberd, dragon defender, ava's accumulator -> assembler, MA2 cape, crystal shield. For non-iron accounts, the order to purchase upgrades (outside of core gear) is highly variable and subject to what content the player intends on doing. ![]()
