Hello Disciples, As mentioned last week, in our [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/1069690/announcements/detail/2860339730147037296]Message from the Rogue Lords team[/url], we wanted to share with you a few tips from our Development Team on how to overcome some of the challenges of Rogue Lords. [i]Note: This guide is available in English, French, German, Russian & Simplified Chinese in case you are not comfortable with this language.[/i] [hr][/hr] [h3]TIP 1 - The Devil is the game's main character. Make sure to use his powers![/h3] All these actions might seem costly, but they are usually worth spending Diabolic Essence on. Use the Devil's powers to: [list] [*] [b]Heal a vulnerable Disciple[/b] who is about to be on the receiving end of a single, powerful attack (spending 5 diabolic essence to avoid losing 30 is worth it). [*] [b]Relocate the buff of an enemy[/b] that is causing you trouble (the buffs that enemies apply are designed to be stolen by the player!) or get rid of a debuff placed on one of your Disciples. [*] [b]Create a portal on the world map[/b] to reach a useful activity, such as connecting two Grim Reapers to upgrade and quickly retrieve a skill, or to avoid a risky fight with an Elite enemy! [*] [b]Try to guarantee success during story events[/b] to earn maximum attributes. [*] [b]Lower the health/spiritual points of an enemy or Elite[/b] to finish them off when their bar has already been lowered. [*] [b]Reroll a night's secondary activity[/b].[/list] [h3]TIP 2 - Sowing Terror is crucial![/h3] [b]Focus on increasing your Terror gauge from the start of the game[/b]: [list] [*] It helps you obtain relics. [*] It increases the rarity of skills offered as rewards from the Grim Reaper, fights and events. [*] It makes major advantages appear on the map. You can exploit these advantages to earn essential bonuses.[/list]Remember that story events can also be a source of Terror!

To reach higher rarity levels: [list] [*] [b]Work towards getting ""three-of-a-kind""[/b]: when you have two of the same skills and obtain a third, you fuse them to create a new skill with the next level of rarity. In addition, when you increase the rarity of a skill, you obtain a second with the same rarity! [*] [b]Regularly leave a skill with the Grim Reaper[/b]: you can even cheat on the world map to quickly return and regain the upgraded skill. [*] [b]Increase your Terror[/b] rapidly.[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/71a3525f6dcf173626c8a3d24f0a9813f2f7bd80.png[/img] [h3]TIP 4 - Think about protecting your Disciples![/h3] There are many ways to reduce damage from enemies. Remember that: [list] [*] You already start with attack/damage-based skills. [*] [b]Obtaining and upgrading defensive skills is essential[/b]. If you don't have any defensive skills, enemies will seem impossible to beat.[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/fc864044474a0c077a6e54d7958478ffd1123045.png[/img] [h3]TIP 5 - Relics are very powerful: have as many as possible![/h3] Never overlook relics during your runs. You can obtain them in multiple ways: [list] [*] By moving up a notch in Terror [*] By winning a fight against an Elite [*] In certain events [*] From the Grim Reaper[/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/75ec526a7f87ffa9b43a5aee73d66c8a6df00bbc.png[/img] [h3]TIP 6 - Don't forget Sacrifices![/h3] You can unlock a skill slot for one of your Disciples by sacrificing a skill at the Sacrificial Altar. Sacrifices are important because: [list] [*] Unlocking additional skill slots is crucial if you want to defeat the stronger enemies. [*] More skills means more variety in team composition and fewer recharges needed during combat.[/list]To use them to your advantage, try to [b]plan ahead[/b] and decide which skill you don't want and can afford to sacrifice. This skill will stop being offered to you during your run. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38037196/5198feca02e6bdaa0557d7b1e1103045f8b65b97.png[/img]
