Mech setup
Choose Striker as mech to play.



Orders a large area of effect attack and deals 3 times the damage of current level. The base speed with a value of 6 is good enough and you have more health points due to 65 plating shield.



Striker allows you the following setup:

1x main weapons
6x support
2x evo weapons
2x side weapons


Weapon setup
We are going to setup a short range build without getting fast movement. My weapon setup recommandation is the following:

1xMain weapons



Here you can't change anything. There is only machine gun and this is already activated when you start with this mech.

2x evo weapons



You will fill both with Cosmic Guardian. This helps you to win close attacks and the are doing as evolution enough damage to hold out in critical moments.

2x Side weapons



Auto Turret are your choice here. You radius will be very low and they are effective on short distance.

5x support





The 6th slot is reserved already for the Striker-mech special feature "Court Martial". 2 times "AI-Core" instead of "Damage support" should be fine too.

What else you need?



The "emergency shield" allows you more relaxed playing. 3 of them should be enough. If you have good reactions you can pass maybe without or at least less of them.

Additional I recommend the following already upgraded:




Both should affect your points. If you don't have max level upgraded it will only affect your points for highscore.

To avoid any surprises by leveling you should have "Re-Roll" and "Skip", which allows you to re-roll or skip if the "shop" offers you something else than the stuff above:

Strategy to reach hyper mode + video
Your main strategy is based on "power" and fast "levelling". Speed isn't that important since your mech has a reasonable base speed. You will use a small radius of walking. Your "auto turrets" will support with the damage against super-crabs, penguins and everything else. Trust them! The enemies will come very close.

The high damage you'll get when you levelled up your "Cosmic Guardians" to evolution. In combination with the "auto turrets" and the "Court Martial" you have enough power to kick off all the enemys and the big amount of end boss opponents.

When the end bosses arrives try to keep kiting in a small radius and focus your machine gun on the end boss himself!

In the following video you can see how I've done this stage:


Good luck!

I use lazarus with 4 cosmic + 2 poison clouds ( coz I haven't try turrent yet) + machine gun and shortgun. For upgrade, magnet + damage + cri rate. Try to get 4 cosmic asap and then evolve the outer one first. After I have 2 evolved cosmic then upgrade magnet to lvl10 and just stand still until the boss come. I fought more than 10 bosses and thought it was endless. For the bosses, just aim your machine gun at the boss to keep it away from you and win the game.

I used pretty much the same set up except I had Tesla and Cosmic Guardian as my Evo weapons. Thor (tesla) pretty much makes it impossible to die as it rebuilds your shield every time it hits something.

O.o advising 3 points in emergency shield??

...If you have that much CA to spend you should be cruising through Hyper Artic mode :steamfacepalm:.
As you can have Cosmic Guardian and Machine Gun pretty much max'd for that amount in the armory and those are pretty much all you need (that and a few points in re-roll to get your cosmic guardians faster).

If you don't have alot of CA to spend, my advice is put the points you do have in Machine Gun, 3+ points of re-roll and the rest in Cosmic Guardian and XP / CA increases.
The points in Machine Gun will make your early game alot easier.
The points in Cosmic Guardian will make you reach your end game build faster.


And why not use Lazarus Mech (1x free Emergency Shield, which costs alot of CA), same Passive loadout though (1 Gravity Reactor, 1 AI Core and 1 Damage).
