is there a guide for the ship battles? im on the second with the ships with green health bars and i genuinely cant be bothered to learn all the mechanics for this
You’re not supposed to win phase 1 directly – the actual win condition is to survive until you run out of energy (yellow bar) or to survive 20 rounds, although the later is unrealisitc and a safety mechanism. To get there, three ways exist:
First, there’s the risky approach: Funkelregen’s Deconstruction ability has been a little bit reworked: It no longer stuns Funkelregen and her target. Instead, it applies a DoT and suppresses enemy regeneration. Additionally, Funkelregen regains the drained damage as energy. I guess, due to bad wording, this wasn’t obvious to everybody…
Anyway, in the second round, apply Deconstruction to one of the smaller ships. This will inevitably cause you to lose the station and to Funkelregen tanking some hits. But after rebuilding the station, you just need to spam Repair + Hypermissiles – if timed well, you even can get a blueprint and once it’s just a 2v2, the fight is basically won.
Needlessly to say, with this tactic, you’ll have a larger period of time, where you can’t effort a stray hit targeting Funkelregen.
Second, you can just turtle. Spam Repair on Funkelregen and let the Station do whatever… You can even accelerate your win, by wasting energy i.e. building the defense station a new insteadt repairing.
And lastly, the minigame will skip itself after failing 3 times.
