For 2 axes (forward and left for example), at 100% trichording it is ~1.41x (root of 2), and at 50% it is ~1.21x. If you are moving in 3 axes at the same time (up, left, and forward for example), at 100% trichording, you'll be moving at ~1.73x the speed (root of 3), at 50%, ~1.37x the speed.
Trichording (an old Descent term/slang) means that if you are moving on multiple axes, you'll have higher speed. You can practice avoiding laser while moving around on that reactor without sweating much.Īnd here is an extra information. Game encourages (if not forces) you to stay mobile, so if you are having trouble getting used to the controls, reactor of Sublevel 1 is a good practice choice, as it only has laser barrage and that's it. Trying to destroy the core with a Smartgun for example, is not a smart choice (no pun intended), as you'll run out of ammo while dealing very low damage compared to pretty much any other alternative. Starts firing at you like the reactor of Sublevel 2, but after suffering moderate damage.Ī good weapon to deal with the core itself is recommended. Be wary of their position, and try not to get too close to them while encircling the core.Īfter the shield generators are taken down and the reactor takes moderate amount of damage, a swarm of seeker drones will be launched at you, like in Sublevel 4. Ignore them unless you really need to take out a few, but they'll be replaced after a rather short while.Īfter the shield generators are taken down and the core takes some damage, multiple shielded turrets will spawn in the room, one on each wall, close to the the opposite side (ceiling/floor) of the shield generators. There will be constant reinforcements - lesser enemies will keep spawning as long as the reactor is still operational.
These need to be taken down before you can start working on the outer shell.
There will be two shield generators on each side of the room, they'll lit up like a lamp as soon as the core shields itself - which happens at the beginning of the battle. Each piece will absorb a certain amount of damage, so a secondary weapon with a rather large splash area & high damage can make short work of the individual pieces. The reactor core is protected with a hard shell, which is composed of multiple pieces of armor.
