Conquest Guide: The Stranger
Just pinch off the blood flow to your left hand until it goes numb...
Update 11/28: Fuck CG and fuck sector 5. They swapped the miniboss and boss feats this time around, and the miniboss traya appears to be bugged to high heaven, dealing fucktons of damage via “Bonds of Weakness” even when she has ZERO stacks of it. I have managed to win with the CLS team (barely), but not Aurra yet. More info in the feats and teambuilding section of the guide.
Update 11/4: Holy shit you guys. I had a fucking week. So sorry about the lack of updates, but real life (and one very sweet, but very ill foster dog) intervened. Updating EVERYTHING now. Several things that were changed after the datamine have been corrected to reflect reality, strategies for bosses, data discs, etc etc.
Update 10/27: It appears that stacks of profit earned from nute DO NOT COUNT towards the global feat. So… fuck.
Welcome to my “The Stranger” Conquest Guide hub! Bookmark this page for the next three months and you’ll have full access to all of my conquest-related guides.
If you’re new to my guides, start by reading these. Seriously. 99% of the questions I get are answered in these three posts.
I reference the teams and terms in the posts above constantly. And I get so many request to explain “what is DCS cheese?” My brother in RNGsus, it’s explained in the common cheese strategies link.
And now for the advanced stuff, specific to this conquest:
Conquest Feats and Team Building: The Stranger
What’s old is new again! Many (all?) of the boss battles this time around are old raid bosses, and the feats are fun cheese teams we used to beat those bosses back in the day. Hopefully these aren’t overtuned…
“But Kahz, you have a 13.3M GP Roster. It’s insane for you to think that everyone can do what you do.”
That’s fair. It’s also why I also look at the rosters of real players, just like you, and break down how I’d approach this conquest with their roster.
Case Study: Vsauce2
Taking on a massive challenge this time around, we’re going to look at Vsauce2’s roster to see if we can red crate.
Coming at conquest with a smaller roster means Red crate may be physically impossible to achieve. But gold can still unlock the conquest unit and that’s exactly what Vsauce2 is aiming to do!
