Hey Deadlands RPG: Valhalla fellow players!

I made already a Begginers Guide, explaining how the game can be playable, also giving a few tips on how to start. But i was thinking... there should be one mid-endgame guide, so i decided to make this in-depth guide. Since this is going to be as much complete as i can... it wil lrequire some time to do. Meaning you will find this in construction for some days.

What kind of stuff can you expect to find in this guide? Well preety much everything, but ill try to resume the main stuff.

- Heroes (skills, gameplay pro's and con's) -> Almost done... need only to wait for dem to fix a few things to finish it.
- Item list and drop place (ill need Dem help with this cause i still haven't found all the items avaiable... and also can't store them all on inventory) -> Can't do it solo, and Dem is kinda busy with other priority stuff.
- Game story (i still dont know if i should copy/paste the sentences from cinematics or just to do one small resume) -> Done
- Quest lines (where to find the quest, what you need to do, suggested level to do it, etc) -> Done
- Bestiary (Monsters name, HP, damage, experience, money rewards) -> In construction.
- Boss fights strategies (skills they use, how to counter them, solo strategy, etc) -> In construction

I hope i can finish this guide in... 1 week maximum... but let's see how it goes Smile

EDIT: dreamhack summer championship begun so the guide its a bit late since im not playing at all... only watching the games...

Best regards from your fellow mate.
Kimzark

P.S. - Ill make the guide below this post.

Kimzark's In-depth Guide

- Heroes

- Protoss -
Race Special Ability: Blink - Teleport instantly to a location. 8 seconds cooldown

Ash Templar

Summon Ash Archons - Summons 1 (?) big archon (i suggest Dem to look at this skill description before i add more info)
Psionic Storm - AoE Storm that deals great amount of damage to monsters. Each skill level decreases cooldown. Intelect ups damage.

Pros: this caracter can do 3in1... Heal, support and damage. If you have good gear and max level you can probably do wonders with this character.

Cons: Can heal Protoss units only. Also its low HP doesnt allow him to tank anything without the archon help.

Phase Zealot
Class Type: DPS
Primary Attribute: Strength
Class Bonus: Receive extra 25 strenght every 5 levels.

Abilities:
Crushing Grip - Enemies in a small area are stunned for 3 seconds (does not affect bosses) and deals 250 damage over time. Strength increases damage. Skill level also increases damage and reduces cooldown.

Void Prision - Capture enemies making them immobile and dont let them attack. Does NOT affect bosses OR massive units. Each skill level increases the number of units captured and radius.

Pros: Really OPed DPS class. 4 high damage skills... 1 distracting units and bosses for 10 seconds (or less if they get all killed), 1 that restores your shield HP, 1 that stuns units and another that takes... all units out of the battlefield. (NOTE: this unit it's currently at v2.1 so OPed that i can solo hard dificulties killing all bosses including optional ones)

Cons: errm... the only con i can actually tell... its that after you play this one the others are BLEH xD

Force Knight
Class Type: Tank
Primary Attribute: Psi
Class Bonus: Receive extra 25 Psi every 5 levels.

Abilities:
Domination - Takes control of one unit. Skill upgrade decreases cooldown and increases domination time. OFC does NOT affect bosses.
Void Prision - Capture enemies making them immobile and dont let them attack. Does NOT affect bosses OR massive units. Each skill level increases the number of units captured and radius.

Psionic Overload - Releases a large amount of energy around hero damaging all unit in the radius area. Every skill level decreases cooldown. Strength increases damage. NOTE: unit become unmovable!

Pros: With the v2.1 patch this unit as became a better tank. Does decent damage.

Cons: Slow leveling due to lack of attacking skills (although this is what you would expect from a tank, but since i dont like slow leveling im putting this as a con).

Shadow Assassin
Class Type: DPS

Void Spheres - Throw void sphere at a target making small AoE damage. Strength increases damage. Each level reduces cooldown.
Plasma Blast - Single Target damage. Each skill level upgrades damage and reduces cooldown. Strength also increases damage.

Pros: Really good dps. Can smash units and bosses in seconds.

Cons: The skills takes a while to shoot, making him a bit slow while using them. Also he cant move after use the skill or it will reset.

Pros - Really nice ranged DPS. Bang Bang BOOM units to their destruction while taking no damage at all if you're in a party.

Cons - Mines dont do that much damage, and nuke takes 3 seconds to strike, making its DPS lower than other DPS units.

Veteran Comando

Defensive Matrix Field - Increases your maximum life, life regen and armor. Each skill level increases all these stats except regen and decreases cooldown.

Static Feedback - Reduces enemy energy to 0, dealing damage by the amount of energy enemy had. Each skill level decreases cooldown.
Dark Plasma Granade - Small AoE skill. Each skill upgrade increases damage and reduces cooldown. Intelect increases damage.

Pros: Probably the best tank of the game. I would suggest you pick this one unit to start playing the game since will be nearlly impossible to kill you with the defense matrix on.

Cons: Making his skills with damage upgrade based on Inteligence and Agility doesn't help making a good build to maximize your "low" DPS as a tank.

Bio Stasis - Capture enemies making them immobile and dont let them attack. Does NOT affect bosses OR massive units. Each skill level increases the number of units captured and radius.
Draining Parasite - Controls a single unit. During this time Queen's HP regen increases, but she cannot move or attack. Blows unit few seconds after not being controled. Each skill level reduces cooldown.

Pros: Nice survavility and razor swarm can dizimate milions (maybe not exactly milions.. but you get it).

Cons: Corrosive burst doesnt do that much damage. Also while controling units she cant do anything... meaning if she gets attacked HP regen will be useless (regens doesnt work while in combat). Also the bio stasis doesnt work on most of the units on endgame. So this makes 3 of her 5 skills "useless".

Pros - This unit its awsome. Great damage and survavility.

Cons - Better DPS than Swarm Queen, although he is bad tank (no defensive skills). His ugliness should be a con too Razz

- Game Story

Game Intro:
After a large zerg invasion, many nuclear bombs were dropped in an attempt to cleanse the planet. The survivors of the war gathered togheter in an abandoned outpost to rebuild and establish law and order to the land. Hostile factions attack the outpost in hopes of eliminating the leader of the survival outpost, Captain Reznor. Your ship has been attacked by a rogue fleet and has crash landed near the outpost. After being treated at the outpost medical lab, you find yourself in the middle of a forgotten warzone.
