Title: My base got attacked by a pack of lobstermen and biodrones. Any advice?
Post by: 5taras on August 18, 2018, 08:17:12 pm

Hi, everyone. Sorry for disturbance.
I play Twots 2.16. Due to peculiar game mechanics I don't have molecular control ability at the moment.
My base to my horror was attacked by more than 10 walking lobsters and nasty biodrones. May be the total number of invaders is about 17. 
I have about 25 aquanauts, many sonic weapons, some thermal shock launcher, few thermal thazers and couple of vibro blades and thermic lances. Also, I have few disruptor pulse launchers, although they doubtly work on air.
Do I have any chance to win?
Thank you.

You (almost) always have a chance to win.

I didn't study the differences between TFTD and TWoTS in much detail, but biodrones are more or less the same and lobstermen have a bit less HP and more armor.
Both are still vulnerable mostly to stun and melee damage... so your thermal and vibro weapons should do just fine.
Enough sonic projectiles will also do the job.

Good luck.

Best thing to do is sharpen your sword and stock up on flower wreaths.
