Вперед: Выбежать, Советы, и трюки

This guide will show you some of the most important things that you should know about Phade in Forward: Escape the Fold. Details such as some tricks and tips will be tackled in this guide. Также, please note that this Phade guide may contain spoilers of the game.

Введение

I wanted to make a small guide (more like tips and tricks) for one of the hardest characters to get your mind around Phade. Phade is the third character you will unlock in the game and starts the game with Winged Shoes, which allows her to move horizontally. She also starts with a curse that makes all items in shops cost 8 больше золота. This curse doesn’t hurt you too much later on but can stunt your growth early.

Общие советы

Pay attention to the transition screen to see when shops are coming up. With items costing more, it pays to know when you want to save.

Дон’t waste money on potions. Normally a heal for 1 gold is good, but with Phade it cost a minimum of 9. Normally it isn’t worth the gold. You should also skip taverns and alchemy shops in villages as they mostly contain potions.

Skulls are obtained by moving your character onto a monster. Phade works really well with this mechanic as she can get loot and attack monsters on the same level. Skulls can be used to buy items in a dead chest (normally one item is around 20 черепа) Use her healing and movement options to get more skulls and obtain some powerful items early.

Движение

Phade’s difficulty comes from her unique way of moving around the map and creates a lot more decision-making in knowing where to move and when.

Just because you can move doesn’t mean you should. Ты не’t have to use all your movement if the reward isn’t worth the damage doesn’t take it. If the reward is blocked by a monster and you are low on health just skip the reward. Staying healthy and minimizing damage are important for winning.

Save potions and swords. Try to get potions last this allows you to take more damage and heal up afterward. For swords wait to move up then grab them so that more monsters become visible.

(Moving to the right and getting the gold/chest will make you take 5 damage but then you can move to the potion to heal it back!)

Stay to the side. Try not to move into the middle if possible as it limits the amount of loot you can pick up.

Не торопись, unlike other characters you can react to upcoming cards and choose other paths taking 4 damage to move right is better than being forced up by taking 8!

Предметы

I will go into items more while talking about the powers, but there are some generalized items that are always nice to have

Focus on items that deal damage. Think of items like axe, golden hammer, poison scythe, and steam sword. anything that hits the entire board and weakens the monsters. The more you kill the more loot you can gather.

Get stealth. Stealth is good on most characters but for Phade it helps even more. You can use it to slip between monsters to grab more loot without having to take damage.

Get items that give a befit to starting an attack. you want to attack monsters, so getting extra rewards can’t hurt!

Look for items that reduce the cost of gold to minimize your starting curse

Полномочия

Phade has a great selection of powers that helps her clear the floor and remove monsters.

Absorption

Absorption lets you play aggressively early on. Attack more monsters while they are still low and heal with skill if you get low. On later floors, I tend to use it to heal if I am low or lower damage if I am forced to move onto a monster.

Дон’t be stingy. Unless you have a good way to obtain stealth your power will at most hit 2-3 враги. Take what you can. Иметь дело 6 лечить 6 лучше, чем ничего

Смерть!

На первый взгляд, Смерть! may seem like a worse absorption that hurts you instead of healing you, but it works better in the late game when you have more items and monsters have more HP.

Works well with items that make you immune to poison or gain an advantage when the poison is lost. The medical plant can help early on but look for an antidote or pumpkin for a long-term solution.

Poison will never kill you. It can take you to 1 hp but cannot do anything after that. (выиграл’t damage armor or take you below 1 л.с.) Use your skill to keep your armor high while damaging your hp.

Возвращаться!

Return is a really unique power that is different from Phade’s other two options. This power lets Phade play more stealthy and really focus on grabbing every bit of loot. It gives even more movement options than before. Use it to backtrack for items missed or if the route you are taking looks less desirable with new information.

Use the stealth to grab items behind big monsters!

Or to go back for heals after a boss (if they are on the side)

Возвращаться! is also the cheapest power so it works well with items that activate your power use.

On activation effects will target the screen before you move back. This is good for electric axe as you will deal damage and then move back.

If you cover an item by going back you will uncover it once you move off the space.

Look out for the item power ring. Using your power twice will allow for more backtracking, but will basically kill the stealth effect of the active.
