You mean against Neuron, Bobcat and the 2 War Walkers? That's easy if you just pull them

Are you kidding me? Yeah, no, that's right. No one has completed this. It yet has to be done. You couldn't do it cuz you gave up so we all did the same. Yup. Good post.

Well I would hope so. But just to check, did all your team members have the Alpha slot filled? Because otherwise it would be even more difficult than normal.| Tin Mage TF is just ridiculous.. |
It's too difficult for me to even start, so I certainly won't be offering any tactics.
It's an Incarnate TF. It's supposed to be crazy and hard.
And yes, I've completed it. On my first time out, too.
Twice. It's a tough one.

I'm sorry you think that the Tin Mage TF is too hard. Try the Apex TF, it's much, much easier.

Last mish isn't bad at all. The only mistake we made was attacking Bobcat right after killing Neuron. She does some serious damage and hit my scrapper for 5K. Still, it was a lot of fun.
Neuron was easy.. Just hit my Shield charge, Fireball, Fire Sword Circle combo when the clones spawn.

I enjoyed it a lot.
Over all I'd say that Tin Mage is pretty easy. Its nothing really different from an RSF or STF aside from being plus four. Not if you weren't slotted well that would become a bit of a problem because you end up fighting at essentially -8 to them. But either way its pretty easy and have been able to get master of tin mage on a couple toons.

We ate the AVs at the end with maybe one or two deaths from our squishes. Now, those mines on everyone's first try of the TF... are not pretty. They should spawn with some region or logic. And restraint.
5-10 times so far actually.
I haven't lost a Tin Mage or an Apex TF yet. In fact, I have the Master Badges for both of them.
I can only think you've lost if the team doesn't have the boost slotted, or their general builds are under slotted (Ive had lvl 50's join ITFs and say all their enhancements are red).

I think the final mission of LRSF is actually harder than the Final Mission of Tin Mage. But I have done an LRSF since Incarnates came out.
The hardest part of Tin Mage is getting Midnight Dodger.

hehehehehehehehe Oh sorry you said try NOT to laugh. The hardest part of Tin Mage is mission one.. once you get past Director 11 its not that big a deal. And if you think taking on Neuron and Bobcat is tough just wait till you try Battle Maiden and her flying swords/blue clouds of instant death. |

I have completed several Tin Mages and at this point the ONLY badge I still need is the Dodger (for somehow managing to complete mission one without setting off any mines). I am still working on completing Apex once .. I'll get it eventually just need to find a team willing to keep dying until we win.

Have done it many times by now, at the estimated one hour mark or less.
Most people that I run both TFs with usually tell me they like the Apex TF better, specifically the epic feeling from the first mission and the Battle Maiden fight.

It is extremely hard
Completed it about 10 times so far, usually in 21-25 minutes.
OP is funny.

I was so proud of myself when I finally figured out how to keep my henchies alive, which turned out to be surprisingly easy by just telling them to be where the team is not. Good thing Battle Maiden hates Incarnates more than robots!
