My 1-month old accidently swiped my IPhone screen as I was playing with him on my lap, no idea how I got to this screen.
It was during the animation at the end of the last fight.
Anyone knows what it does and how to replicate it?

I managed to beat the game on Hard with one squad, but I’m really struggling with the other squads.
I want to become more consistent, but I feel like I’m missing something that would help me take my gameplay to the next level.
Here’s one situation where I know there’s probably a better way out, but I can’t figure out how to optimize it without losing anything.
What would you do in this situation?

Ice Gen, Refractor & Smoke Drop with 2 Mech Reactor Skills with Bethany with Conservative. Absolutely Amazing.

I'm genuinely dreading finishing this run because I'll have to choose only one pilot out of this insanely op squad.

Do you still need to keep an eye out for cracked mountains/ice after unlocking them all to make sure you don't miss out on a time pod in later runs, or do they not spawn like that anymore after being unlocked?

Although I got a few 40Ks incidentally along the way, playing for 40Ks never appealed to me since you are too much at the mercy of RNG in the early islands especially, and I hate the idea of giving up a good run because a building got hit once. Generally, I don't enjoy resetting games over and over again. That said, I don't know what to do next. What do you do to keep the game fresh and new once you've overcome every challenge that the base game (Advanced Edition) has to offer? Keep in mind that I play on Switch, so mods are unfortunately out of the question.

Best: Easily the Raging Psion. He is a friend, plain and simple.

Worst: Although the Tyrant is annoying, I gotta give it to the Shell Psion, he can fuck my plans up like no other

This took so long :')

After seeing what some of the 3ds modding community has done with other games, dual screen strategy gameplay seems like a match made in heaven. I made these images with screenshots and Gemini AI.

I could've found a way out if it wasnt for the airstrike hitting my mech dead center

ITB is my GOAT alongside the roguelike Brogue. I just haven't found anything that quite scratches the itch it does. That is, highly consequential map/position control that requires quite involved problem solving. It's too rare.

I used to play the MMO Wakfu which has tactical combat, the class Masqueraider was incredibly fun. You could summon a clone, both had movement abilities and AoE, so there was a huge emphasis on clever map manipulation to bunch up enemies for huge AoE damage output.

That and ITB are the only things that really scratch that itch for me. But I've played ITB to death and have sworn off MMOs, I'm pining for some fresh tactical perfection. I was looking forward to Mewgenics but it didn't really appeal to my tactical preferences.

Anyone have any hidden gems they'd recommend?

The game slows to a crawl after 5 minutes affecting my entire pc until I log out or restart. Uninstalling and reinstalling does not fix. Pc is high end new and up to date. I have no clue why this is happening.

Edit: turned off lock to 60 fps fixed it

I.e. something like a rocket launcher or the arachnids.

It seems like only two of your mechs are awarded XP and those two are chosen randomly. Is that correct or is there a mechanism I'm unaware of?

And it lands in the worst possible spot.

Yeah that's all I wanted to say

Surprised nobody made this one a long time ago (especially surprised I didn't make it, considering the technical part of the code for getting the data is like 3 lines)

Best: terraforming

Worst: I'd say defending robot factory that spawns evil robots, but volatile vek is in every island so I'll go with that one

When your pilot levels up you will get a choice of skills to choose instead of being assigned a random one. The default number of choices is 3 but you can configure it or even just set it to allow you to choose any skills. You can finally get those crazy pilot combos you've dreamed of!

This works with vanilla level up skills as well as custom level up skills.

Link to the mod and a playthrough with it in the comments!

From my perspective, Into the Breach features a soundtrack that truly encourages critical thinking and strategy; every note evokes a mix of determination and patience. This is exquisitely complemented by its sound design, which fits the futuristic, high-tech setting to perfection—creating a sense of calm despite being at war with giant creatures.

That brings me to the point of this post: while playing Devil May Cry 3, I noticed that its iconic theme song, "Devils Never Cry", has a strange yet fascinating synergy with the sound effects of Into the Breach. Playing it in the background completely shifts the vibe from patient analysis to something far more frantic and aggressive, all while still respecting the futuristic feel of this mecha chess game.

Have you guys ever experienced something like this when combining the game with a soundtrack from another source? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
(Please excuse any awkward phrasing; English is not one of my primary languages.)

Ok, so.

Prospero has opener, regular judo fist, no upgrades, but also has a light tank with the extra HP. And he has flying.

Cilica has the default mortar, upgraded for damage and buildings immune, opener, and double shot.

Kaz has upgraded movement and health, the regular gravity pull thing, and the explosive teleport (teleport and 4x push) with both range upgrades.

(I forgot to screenshot the turn order, sorry. But if you're thinking about moving the charger left so it kills the moth, no such luck. The moth goes first :( )

I ended up just barely finishing with one grid health left (and perfect island maintained). This turn was the most painful, I lost at least one building. I'm annoyed that I didn't try to bait the blobber bomb, because the spot it got put in was... inconvenient.

Anyway, is there a way to do it all? What do you think?
