* Fencer can boost (jump) and dash (thrust) and need specific weapons to do so for that pair of weapons. You have two pairs of weapons and being able to jump/dash at once allows for incredible mobility. Read the weapon description. | * A Wing Diver's mobility benefits the most with a small hop and dashing. Keeps you moving and recharging. Works with the heavy cores that limit flight. | ||
* Fencer can boost (jump) and dash (thrust) and need specific weapons to do so for that pair of weapons. You have two pairs of weapons and being able to jump/dash at once allows for incredible mobility so long as you have the charges for it. Stay near the ground so you can recharge them faster on foot. Read the weapon description. | |||
* Fencer shields that have Reflector in the name can bounce several enemy attacks back at them. Having two shields with the equipment to buff them makes you almost invincible so long as you have the charges for it. | * Fencer shields that have Reflector in the name can bounce several kinds of enemy attacks back at them. Having two shields with the equipment to buff them makes you almost invincible so long as you have the charges for it. It helps to be against a raised barrier so only frontal attacks can reach you. | ||
* Air Raiders have three weapon slots and some should be fire and forget with a long recharge. A good build above ground is generally a weapon you can keep spamming on targets, calling in an air strike (Vesta - DOT with long duration/Phobos - Damage and immediate reuse) over an area, an area of denial weapon like | * Air Raiders have three weapon slots and some should be fire and forget with a long recharge. A good build above ground is generally a weapon you can keep spamming on targets, calling in an air strike (Vesta - DOT with long duration/Phobos - Damage and immediate reuse) over an area, an area of denial weapon like Electron Copter. Air Strikes won't win battles. For cave missions, replace air strikes with Electron (Shock) weapons to hold down an area. | ||

Calling a Vesta bomber on top of you and between fires can keep most enemies away unless they are flying. Poison gas covers a tall and wide area that will stunlock bees until it runs out. Bypasses tail anchor shields and armored enemies like Cosmonauts and Excavators, which isn't that useful. Electron Copters that emit an electric cloud can also bypass tail anchor shields near the top. It's an area denial weapon for setting up before enemies approach. It covers much more area than it looks, spreads through objects, and few enemies can linger near it. | ||

* The Portal Guns in Mission 146 have a special kill attack if you leave the green crystal sticking out of the portal too long. You have to destroy it entirely so the device falls out of the Ring or it will charge up and cover you with unavoidable damage. Same for the last mission in DLC2. | |||
* Mission 147 requires maximum range. The final boss fight is a slog and having something with over 2000 range is needed. It has multiple hit points on the sides as well. | * Mission 147 requires maximum range. The final boss fight is a slog and having something with over 2000 range is needed.
