The problem with this approach is that it requires you to abandon timelines and every person living in those timelines to the vek onslaught.

[@mangaman88188280]

Was just thinking about this. Join timeline, punch building full of civilians, kill hundreds, immediately leave timeline. Savage.

[@Filet64]

sometimes you gotta sacrifice for the 30K! edit: now 40K

[@user-cb4vt3qm3j]

@@Filet64 If 30k is enough to make you sacrifice countless billions of people I shudder when I try to imagine what you would do for 40k.

@@user-cb4vt3qm3j You have no idea 😟

[@Filet64]

@@Phantom_Kraken I think I made that comment before unfair mode came out lol

1. Destroys buildings with hundreds of people inside 2. Refuses to elaborate 3. Leaves

[@Filet64]

Into the Breach, baby!!

[@儒雅之村]

lmao

[@trumpetzmainia]

So you’re telling me that if my mechs can damage 1 building each, I only need to abandon 300 timelines before I get all 3 grid attacks resisted? Easy

[@gabrielrussell5531]

My big takeaway from this is that if the only way out I can see involves a grid defense roll, I shouldn't bother resetting to try rolling it again.

[@Filet64]

Yeah it’s more for people trying to get a perfect run than casual play

[@CurtisJensenGames]

Oh my, this is quite in depth. I didn’t realize this was so plannable. I was laughing at how ridiculous this was, but if it’s on the first turn every time, that’s epic

[@Moley1Moleo]

At first this felt like an exploit, but our characters are timetravelers so tbh it seems like fair game.

[@Filet64]

it is pretty shitty for the actual people in that timeline though lol

[@Moley1Moleo]

@@Filet64 - They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and learn to timetravel too.

[@maxvarjagen9810]

eh still seems like an exploit- lore-wise the resistance value would be tied to the building tile and not the attack order. But looks fun to use anyway!

[@Filet64]

Here's a video about statistics/RNG in the video game Into the Breach. I'm probably going to be making a lot more videos relating to video games, so I hope you enjoy!

[@rily2885]

wow, what a tip, thanks a lot, I need every single one for the unfair mode

[@thegoose8663]

Huh, I guess it makes sense for a time travel setting. Nice trick!

[@scottleland403]

I had no idea this was a thing, but it makes so much sense. Great video!

[@super_7710]

gotta lose 5 times to win once B)

[@kiro1469]

Tactical murder. I like it.

[@TheMusicalOtaku01]

Does this still work in AE?

[@Filet64]

Yes!

[@JK-fh9gh]

What if you increase grid defense? Wouldn't that change the rng?

[@Filet64]

Yes, in that case you’d want to do the reset test again

[@garret1930]

Ah, you did go through with the name change.

[@Filet64]

I did. I'm gonna be experimenting with a lot of different kinds of content in the next little bit so it felt more appropriate

[@vanthomias5538]

sounds like a really unfun way to play

[@colmnolan3792]

I don't like this strategy, reset timeline for one building? Why not take out the enemy targeting the building? You have time to blow up multiple buildings 🤭

[@erikm9768]

So odd that they reuse the same RNG value, why would they do that? is it a bug?

[@dropmelon]

I keep thinking "Who're you?" every time you upload.

[@Filet64]

here let me help: Hi I'm Matt Mignogna!

@@Filet64 😆

[@Soulsphere001]

I can see this as a useful tool when you have a reset, especially if you have two resets, and know that you are going to have to take some building hits somewhere. That might help you judge where to place enemies so you lose only one building instead of two. There is still a lot of randomness, but I will have to see if it gives me an edge someday.

[@InfernoSpike]

Does the resist cycle if you use a shield?

[@Filet64]

I'm not sure what you're asking?

[@InfernoSpike]

If a building gets hit while it has a shield, will the grid resist cycle as if the building did get hit?

[@SomeoneFarted]

@@InfernoSpike no

[@StopBuggingMeGoogleIHateYou]

Boo, this feels a lot like cheating.
