Thread: Guide to controlling Aliens

    Guide to controlling Aliens

    As you may have noticed, those nasty bugs tend to randomly resist our nanos.
    So i went in mothership and tested our nanos on them several times.

    Results:

    Code:
          Class      |   Type    |   Stun   |  Calm   | Charm  |  Root  |  Fear  | Snare
    -----------------|-----------|----------|---------|--------|--------|--------|--------
    Rimah            | Cornuta   | Low      | Low     | Low    | Low    | Low    | O
    Cha, Jaax        | Cornuta   | X        | X       | Low    | Low    | Low    | O
    Cha              | Cyathus   | Medium   | Medium  | X      | X      | X      | O
    Jaax             | Cyathus   | Medium   | Medium  | X      | X      | X      | O
    -                | Dasyatis  | Low      | Low     | X      | X      | X      | O
    Cha              | Esox      | X        | X       | X      | Low    | X      | O
    Cha, Ankari      | Heru      | Low      | Low     | Low    | Low    | Low    | O
    Ilari            | Heru      | Medium   | Medium  | X      | Low    | Low    | O
    Jaax             | Heru      | High     | High    | X      | High   | Medium | O
    Ankari           | Oneirodes | Low      | Low     | -      | Low    | -      | O
    Rimah            | Sinuh     | Low      | Low     | Low    | Low    | Low    | O
    Jaax, Xoch, Cha  | Uri       | Low      | Low     | Low    | Low    | Low    | O
    Legend:
    Code:
    O      - No immunity
    Low    - 25% immunity
    Medium - 50% immunity
    High   - 75% immunity
    X      - Total immunity or too high psychic for the level (may change at lower levels)
    Comments:
    • A dash represents a test that has not been done, because it is pointless (charming ankari) or because it was impossible at the time of the test (psychic req)
    • This test is incomplete for the moment because finding every combination is long. Feedback would be greatly appreciated
    • This test is missing an alien type, the big flying one. It doesn't appear in missions, only APF fields and city raids (ground), hence i couldn't test it.
    • Fear seems to land better than calm on some aliens, good thing to know....
    • Some mobs (Esox for example) couldn't be charmed because of the psychic requirement. But at lower level it is possible to charm them and they make excellent pets with huge damage.


    Sector 42:
    • Patrollers can be snared, however they will still have enough runspeed to run after you...
    • Regular aliens are affected with the rules above.
    • Alien vector and drones can't be calmed...


    Sector 10:
    • Calms, snares and roots seems to be working fine
    • Some bosses immune to control


    Arid Rift:

    • Snares are a valuable asset because calms will always get resisted (unless you use Last Minute Negociation)
    • You can charm Rimah and Jaax mobs, though with a good nanoresist and a little resistance. These make good pets when you are not with Carlo but they do not hold aggro and their HP is somewhat low.
    • Do not rely too much on LMN during crowded days because it is possible that the alien has the LMN cooldown nano from a prior calm.

    Just a ot question - delete at will - why do people use this "code" feature? I never understood it at all. Saw it used under any possible circumstance.

  4. #4
    The [CODE] tag make sure that the formatting of the post is always the same as it will use a monospaced font, as an alternative you can use "Courier New", but that might be a problem if the post is viewed on a non windows computer, and it would then look all screwed up since the forum has no table formatting (html codes are pretty much always disabled).

    Small side note that can be useful, the Alien Defense Systems that is spawned by the Master of Time and Space can be snared, just be careful when you are warped to the boss.

    Snares are great with AI missions, make sure you have them on your hotbar its a life saver

    could we get an update for sec10?

  12. #12
    I'd like to hear some feedback on Sec10. Unfortunately i haven't got any toon that can go there, so i have no idea of the mobs inside.

    If someone could have time to realize a few tests, that would be nice to post some results

    Small data from S10. I went there with my 150 crat.

    I managed to snare some of the aliens; all seemed immune to charm and calms, including Empowered and even when I snared them they hit from far away. Didn't find any with psychic to high for Total Mental Domination but I got the 'was unaffected' message.
