Beginners

1: If you’re a beginner, focus on gaining medals and getting familiar with the game. Sheriff and Hunter are both good beginner classes.

2: You WILL NOT get very far at first. It takes a bit of practice and medal gathering. Don’t get frustrated.

3: First medals to pursue should be the chicken medals and the Prayer, Provoker, and Boomer medals.

4: If you’re using a shotgun or hunter’s rifle, always reload after you shoot – at least until the later levels. You will never run out of ammo and will shoot slightly faster on low level guns.

5: Make sure you have at least one of a Rogue, Ranger, or Noble in your party. They are the only classes that can learn the Active skill.

6: Buy chickens on page 2 of the TOWER. There is no way around it; you will not go far without lots and lots of chickens. You can also get a few chickens by the Go Searching option at the INN.

7: Always have one or two accurate backup weapons and keep them loaded. If you have an auto-bow, bring a bow gun. If you have a machine gun, bring a rifle.

8: Bosses have a shield that they use when under heavy fire. This gives them the armor status and they cannot fire from this defensive stance. Give one of your allies a chain gun or HMG to keep the suppression fire going.

9: Always use up all of your AP. It will not carry over.

Allies
1: Make a diverse party. You want a variety of party skills as well as diverse weaponry on the battle field.

2: You should get your first ally immediately; your second ally around level 6-8; and your third by level 15.

3: Don’t worry about initially choosing the right allies. You can always replace them later with the dismiss option.

4: Be sure to have someone (may be you) in your party that has a good anti-air weapon.

5: Be warned: when a boss comes all allies will target him, leaving all other mobs to you. You can change this feature if you need to by deselecting the boss option in the barracks.

6: Base Teamwork (skill) is not clearly defined, but I believe it is how often he will shoot. Dependent of course on his gun.

7: Base Aiming (skill) is not clearly defined, but I believe it is how quickly the allied targeting reticule reaches its target. Can be improved by the Leadership skill.

Weapons
1: The bow gun and auto-bow gun will likely be favorites. When coupled with the Bow Master skill it is extremely effective against crowds and armor.

2: If you have an ally with a shotgun, set him to Fire at Will to make him the most effective.

3: Pay attention to what has high anti-air and what has high anti-armor and use them accordingly.

4: If you really want the gravity gun for yourself you have to work around the long reload time. Bring three or four gravity guns or use lvl3 Reload mods.

5: Best Anti-Air: Small Gun: Windbow; Rifle: Assault Rifle; Shotgun: Combat Shotgun; Big Gun: Grenade launcher. Note: This is IMO and may not necessarily be the best overall.

6: Best Anti-Armor: Small Gun: Laser Pistol; Rifle: Bow Gun; Shotgun: Shotgun; Big Gun: HMG. Note: This is IMO and may not necessarily be the best overall.

General
1: Sp. Trainer can teach any skill, even one not part of that classes skill set (i.e. capable).

2: Every time you purchase a Smith level at the INN it will refresh the SMITHY’s inventory.

3:Go Searching whenever you have extra AP, especially when you have the Quick eye skill. You can often get a +1 hp boost or some extra chickens.

4: Reforging will remove the last placed mod (furthest to the right) on your gun.

5:Reforging price is based on value. You can get cheap upgrades by using the shop tokens to bring value to zero before buying.

Battle
1: In battle, when you get a critical kill, a message will appear. The number in brackets (ex. 5) is a count down to rampage mode.

2: It takes 7 critical kills to go into rampage mode.

3: You can kill the little girl in the castle; however, she will stop making those cute noises (meanie!)

4: You can determine a weapons effective range by how small the targeting reticule is. Sniper rifle and bow gun is furthest away from the wall and the shotgun is closest.

5: You can toggle all ally Fire at Will mode by pushing key F.

Ragnorak

Let me tell you about Ragnorak. Do not use it, unless you are playing a saved game. If you are not prepared you will die. When you use Ragnorak, you will summon about 15 White Dragons (see Bestiary) which will level your castle in about 8 seconds.

Ok, how to use Ragnorak

Challenging way: You will get a huge amount of EXP out of this plus the Ragnorak Medal.

1. Make sure you have a Holy Grail of Jure as a safeguard.
2. Recommended Weapon: Combat Shotgun; Auto Shotgun; Chain Gun.
3. Summon them and start firing. Use the Holy Grail about 5 seconds after the Ragnorak.

Cheap Way: You will only get the Ragnorak Medal.

1. Make sure you have a Holy Grail of Jure as a safeguard.
2. What until the very last wave.
3. Use Ragnorak right before the Day ends. The Day should end right before they start shooting.
