General Strategy Tips (for Floors 1-3)
--------------------------------------- Written by CanuckBear I'm having fun with this game, sharing some general insights that helped me win and enjoy Iratus. Enjoy Iratus Quickly: Spend the Minimum Amount of Resources This is true for any strategy game, usually the best tactic is to spend exactly how much is needed to achieve something, not more, never waste any resource. In Iratus, the most important resource is Parts, because if you can build minions endlessly you will eventually win. Of course the game can be won without minimizing the number of Parts spent, but this guide is intended for new players, helping with getting to enjoy Iratus quickly. A few things help us with not spending, and gaining more Parts, just listing them here, explaining below: * Try not to loose any minion in battle, finish battles with all minions healed. * Invest early in the Library, get the tech to increase chances to gain more Parts (15% should do early on). * Get Vampires when enemies flee (with Blood Curse). * Delay upgrading parts, do not use uncommon parts, at least until floor 3. All of the above are suggesting to spend a minimum amount of Parts to get us through the first 2 floors. Unfortunately, this is limiting our team choices when we start the game. Imagine we play on Good Always Wins, we use a team like Soul Soul Banshee BoneGolem, we never loose a minion, always finish fights fully healed, we capture Vampires when enemies flee (in total we need a Vampire for each building slot we want to upgrade). We can finish floor1 with a total of 6 fighting minions (the initial ones + maybe a Shade and a Mummy to help winning faster against the explosive guys and the boss). Because we get the Vampires we never spend any Parts to build minions to work in the buildings. The total number of Parts spent to finish floor1 with a "control and heal" team could be 24 (not including upgrading buildings). But if we would like to play a different style of team, get injured, maybe loose a minion or two, requiring the use of Arena, second slot Mortuary, not capturing Vampires, this strategy requires more than 80 parts. It is a big difference, it could cripple our chances to finish the run, unless the player is experienced. In conclusion, my advice for new players is to use an efficient team to finish the first floor, then unleash your creativity and play whatever you want on the other floors. The success rate, and enjoyment of the game should be higher.↑ Top
Team Strategy for New Players
------------------------------ Written by MasterBLB Bride of Iratus, Zombie, Skeleton, Dark Knight, or rather order them this way Bride of Iratus, Dark Knight, Zombie, Skeleton. -=Bride skill upgrades and usage=- * Adore Him, use that as her 1st action in fight. * Lungpiercer, sometimes backed up by Fate spell to guarantee critical hit and therefore stun. * Get Away of Him! to break enemy stances, and push back enemies. * Bloody Rose, once you’ll upgrade your Adobe of Wrath in your graveyard, which is kind of main base. -=Zombie skill upgrades and usage=- * Trench Loading to give him extra damage for next attack, and also block and ward for shielding. You can use that as 1st action in fight, although that’s not mandatory. * Abyssal Bombardment, that’ll be his main attack. It also works well with Strength of Mediocrity given by Skeleton and Trench Loading. * Grand Volley, strong single-target skill, useful if you wish to finish off chosen enemy. * Ultimate shot Light Caliber is stronger version of Grand Volley, usage the same as above skill. -=Skeleton skill upgrades and usage=- * Clumsy Stike, single-target attack which ignores armor and never misses. * Bony Bully to interrupt stances/push enemies back. Remember to use spell Back afterwards to move the skeleton back to its nominal position. * Mystic Fortitude, use this stance to provide guard for other minion if needed. * Strength of Mediocrity, cast this on your Dark Knight 3 times to buff him up considerably; Zombie which does mortar bombardments is also good target for this skill. * Smite, either upgrade; Vorpal Smite can instantly kill an enemy while Smite the Show-Offs strikes harder, and is more reliable against bosses. Use especially against enemies with low/no armor, and several blocks to dispatch 2 or more in one attack. -=Dark Knight=- * Death Comes to Everyone is his main attack, combines very well with buff Strength of Mediocrity granted by Skeleton. * We Are Nothing should be 1st action in fight preformed by the knight. You can also cast Fate spell on him to guarantee critical hit, and this massive damage; that’s useful trick if enemies you’re going to attack have no blocks. * Dark Greed, use that skill when Knight needs to heal up. * Set initiative for minions to guarantee action order like this: Skeleton -> Dark Knight -> whatever. For items, give the knight Jester’s Visage once you’ll find it, this item causes enemies attack the bearer more often, and the knight has high armor, will be given even more armor by Skeleton, also he has Dark Greed to heal so he should endure beating just fine. For Skeleton it is recommended to give it Acid Glands, thanks to it the skelly boy can quite easily remove all armor from an enemy using Smite (each hit rolls separate chance to trigger the glands) For bombarding Zombie his Mechanical Aim item is the best, just don’t move him around. For Bride Serpent’s Skull which increases her luck will combine with Lungpiercer nicely.↑ Top
