Star Renegades Comprehensive Guide (WIP)

Overall guide for Star Renegades that I will build up over time.

Walkthrough

TUTORIAL

Simply a refresher on the in game tutorial, if you feel you need it.

TEAM COMPOSITION

With any game like this, team composition is important, but I find this is especially so early on in Star Renegades.

You will only have your 3 starting characters for the first boss.

Usually, I try to go for

  • 1 Tank or Tanky dps
  • 1 Character with strong stagger abilities
  • 1 Anti-armour

Obviously, some characters are more flexible than others and can cover multiple roles.

PLANETS OVERVIEW

After completing the first planet, you get into a familiar pattern with the next 3.

You have 3 cycles of 3 before facing the planets behemoth.

You use up charges, to breach into areas, you can see a preview of what you are about to fight in the bottom right, before you press breach.

There are also 2 Lieutenants and 1 Commander, each guarding an item box
It can be a good idea to have a look at weaknesses (or lack of, a useful one, for this one) on the Imperium screen before taking them on!

Area’s lock down every night, personally I try and position myself so that I can hit any areas I really want to reach after the first night cycle (not always possible), an unlucky lock down could stop you reaching a Lieutenant or Commander.

There are also events at night on occasion, which can aid your progress.

BOSSES – GENERAL

  • Stagger bosses whenever possible.
  • Don’t be afraid to spend a round just defending.
  • Take note of the number beside the boss on the stagger gauge, as you can accidentally use this up, which will cause the boss to not be staggered, like you were planning.
  • As you are attacking with a full party, you can usually expect to be attacked by the boss every second round.

UNLOCKS

I will keep this pretty vague, trying not to spoil anything.

Basically, through the camping system, if you see a character with 4 stars towards another character, if you max out their affection, you can then get access to an unlock for:

Progeny – These are a variation of the ‘parents’.

New Classes – There are a couple of ‘hidden’ classes in game.

In either case, you then need to unlock these at the end of your run, these just give you the ability to do the unlock.

ABILITY DISCUSSION

For this section, I will focus on information around abilities that may not be instantly apparent in game.

AOE Attacks

These are a bit of a double edged sword in Star Renegades, with an item that increases stagger significantly, they can be a great boon, but just be aware that they also consume the stagger charges for your enemies so can actually cause you to get attacked more frequently if not used effectively.

Sniper Mode – Tark

Sniper mode lets you hit the enemy back line, which you will probably figure out for yourself reasonably quickly, combining this with keen shot can let you stagger enemies that you couldn’t normally hit.

Behemoth 1 – Tips & Tricks

After you bring down this bosses shield, he will go into a regen / counter phase.

I find it is best, to have 1 character stagger him, just enough to push him into the next phase.

This way, you can let him finish his ability (disabling the counter attacks), then get in 3 (non-crit) attacks to weaken his shields before starting the next round.

Behemoth 2 – Tips & Tricks

The biggest thing for this boss is, DO NOT STUN HIM, just whittle him down, trying to take as little damage as possible.

His 2nd attack will hit a random character, so you just need to try and manage your shields and health the best you can.

Behemoth 3 – Tips & Tricks

The damage output showing on your side is usually for this bosses full attack hitting your party, not just from the damage return.

Make sure to inspect his abilities and judge how much the damage return is actually going to be before executing any attacks.
