Duo STF = Win

I know this has been done before by none other than Kahlan and Horus, but earlier me and Tony (@FarmTank) completed a Duo STF. The team consisted of me on my Shield/Fire Tank and Tony on his Kin/Sonic Defender.

So, the first four mission went really smooth and we had no trouble with them. With that said, the last mission was hard and took a lot of trial and error, specifically, the first tower. Since our team was setup like it was, we got the help of shivans and nukes for the lvl 54 AVs. Our makeup just quite wasn't enough to counteract their crazy regen.

Ghost Widow, Mako, Black Scorpion, and Scirocco weren't any problems for us. Taking down the first tower was the real challenge and it took a few attempts to get it right. Since I was defense based, we decided to take down the blue tower first to get rid of LR's massive to-hit buff. Some of the failed attempts at taking it down was mostly because of careless mistakes.

The first try was without any temp powers, just inspirations, but it ended as a failure and since it was late we decided to try it another day. The second attempt we came prepared with nukes and shivans, the reason it didn't happen this time was because of a stupid mistake of summoning the shivans and dropping the bio nukes too close to the tower. In result the shivans aggroed early and we ended up dying. Now, this is the funny part. When we tried another day, we did the same thing with shivans and nukes and actually managed to take down the blue tower, moved on to the red tower, but ended up dying. Coming back from the hospital, Tony noticed a repairman running towards the tower we already destroyed so he went to attack him, but it was too late and the repairman fixed the blue tower as he died.

At this point, we were pretty frustrated. After restocking on inspirations, we decided to try at the blue tower again without any nukes and surprisingly we took it down with the help of shivans. The rest of the towers went down easily because I was able to stand up to Recluse without much support at this point. Even though we didn't need to, we used shivans on some of the other towers just for times sake. Now all of the towers are down and Recluse seems like a pushover, until he summons Banes. The Banes themselves weren't the trouble, but the shivans AI was. For some reason after Recluse summoned his Banes, the shivans decided to run away and stop attacking Recluse. In result, we couldn't take him down without the -regen from the shivans.

Finally, once again we restocked on bio and chemical nukes. We waited to the point Recluse summoned his Banes to summon new shivans and use the nukes and from there on, he dropped REALLY fast. What I found weird is after summoning new shivans, the ones already up stayed up. Anyways, as soon as Recluse went down and the reward screen came up, my game instantly crashed so I couldn't get a screenshot of the completion window or Recluse's corpse. I thought Tony took a screenshot with the completion window, he must of clicked out of it, but he did get a shot of the body. Overall, it was a fun experience and learned a lot from it. Now here are some random screenshots of the TF and some youtube links.

"With great moustache comes great responsibility" - Zee Captain

Awesome guys, glad you were able to pull it off Grats.

Major gratz.

Awesome Job you two!

It's definitely not an easy task, well done!

Gratz guys. Nice job.

Nicely done!

Great job, Fiery and Tony!

Very nicely done.



....
Wait, Shivans have -regen? i always thought they just had -def and high damage output in their attacks. Which attack has -regen in it?

Well done guys. My girlfriend, @Aponiwi, and I did one a few months ago in Pinnacle server, among other TFs we've Duo'd. And yes.....it was by far our greatest accomplishment in the game. Not very many can do it. Hell, not many teams are able to succeed.

Again, congratulations guys! Very impressive!

YAY Tony and Fiery!!! I'm so glad you all did it!

Fantastic job Fiery and Tony! Perserverance for the win!

Nicely done.

Congratulations.

Great job guys. That sounds so tough I'd be hesitant to even try it, lol.

Very nice. I was helping Tony get some of the tier 3 inspirations. I dont know which run it was for, but I gave him all I had.
