What is the weaknesses and strengths of every enemies?
The main thing I’m asking is what weapons for what enemies for example:
Skeletal enemies: are nearly immune to pierce and cutting damage but against bashing they fall apart so a club is recommended against them.
That sort of thing general stuff for general enemies like that for things like the Thing in the mines strategies for them like should you shoot them or run away should you hide and do they see?
Wasn’t really looking for that. I was talking what weaknesses do they have like the examples in the original post. While yes that would work it really doesn’t make a good guide.
Guide to kill all monsters.
Index:
Chapter one: shotgun
Shoot everything with a shotgun and six pounds of dynamite.
While that might be a decent all over strategy it doesn’t work for specific enemies like skeletal ones. Or help new players with the start up.
My main note is most enemies don’t have a weakness. Its just you need to do a lot of damage. Most have more cut resist than bash resist. Except slimes?
Zombies are dumb. They prioritize their senses: sight, sound, smell. Without much variety, they have one tactic: move towards the thing triggering the sense with the highest priority, apply damage. Using this knowledge it’s quite possible to murder entire cities worth of zombies without firing a shot. All you really need is a couple sacrificial buildings and a hiding spot nearby to keep the reality bubble alive around your fire trap. Works best with wander spawns since a burning building will attract zombies from several tiles away. Read a book, smoke a cigarette; enjoy the good life while watching a barbecue. It’s a great way to start a character out.
And when things go wrong…well that’s fun too.
