This is literally my second run, hadnt been able to buy anything after the first run... i'm... impressed.
And then this happened:
Yeah my units just happened to get reaping and... now this monstrosity lives... honestly i dont know how i feel about reaping... like it's good because basically you get a tankier unit... but you're loosing out on the skills that your other unit had... honestly not a fan of it but oh well.
I experimented with it and got similar results - I don't know why I was slaving away so hard over inferior builds...
Its crazy how hard a couple of reaper instances can go.
Pro tip: if you don't care about any particular unit (that has nimble), chuck it into the reaper grinder - it still gives the stats on the first instance, while giving two procks of the ability (if there was a chance to attack twice). If not, you still get the stats and can keep the other potentially stacked unit (nimble blocks the 999 damage).
Beware!
I didn't know reaper was one of the traits that could randomly be gained on level up, costing me a unit with over 100 att and 35 hp (earlier this run).
(for context, I just started playing this game intermittently around 3-7 days ago; I did not see this game in all its glory before that).
The game is cool, but has too much of a base "stat floor" required.
I only have the first 4 light mote skills (and the one for weapon traits).
If you are able to bide your time and get a little lucky with level up traits, it can easily begin to snowball (thats why I have 4 morale - I kept 3 purchased units on the bench for the first round).
