I am new to Phoenix Point and want some advice on how to get better at it. I am having fun while playing but I think I can do better in battles and managing my stuff. So I want some advice on below mention points:
Battle Tips: Can you share some tricks for battles ? How do you handle different enemies ?
Base Help: Any ideas on how to arrange my base and manage my resources well ? Which buildings should I focus on first?
Research Suggestions: What tech upgrades should I get early on ? Any important research projects I should do ?
Team Building: How do you make a strong team ? Any favorite combinations of characters and skills ?
Like Valygar said. It is little bit too late to use this forum. It was alive between May 2018 and November 2022. Now people (those who still play) mostly use Discord.
And for comprehensive information it would be good to check wiki also mentioned by Valygar. Still I can give some tips.
Battle Tips:
do not rush or split your soldiers. You want have them close to each other in case of unsuspected danger. This doesn’t mean adjacent (due to enemy area attacks) but at least in the line of sight and in range of supporting shot.
focus fire on most dangerous enemy first, one enemy disabled (about that below) is always better than couple wounded but still able to wound you
you don’t have to kill enemies, just disable their body parts which has attacks assigned to them. Enemy without weapon can’t do much even when alive.
Base Help:
arrangement of building has close to none impact
resources? repair only facilities that you need at the moment, don’t build in advance thinking that maybe that facility will be nice to have in the future, invest more in equipment than buildings or activate next bases rather than building everything in single base
only important facilities are undamaged energy generator, research lab, fabrication plant, and where you plan to go with your vehicles and soldiers undamaged hangar, undamaged living quarter, undamaged med bay
Research Suggestions:
there are few importnant researches, but I wouldn’t say it is important to rush them before the others
for sure make autopsies and vivisections as they give nice tech
and from faction tech I for example prefer Synedrion tech, but New Jericho is also nice (and they both combine to even more fine tech)
if you are not interested in completing all the research, just focus on the research mentioned in the objectives, it will quicken whole campaign
Team Building:
here I won’t help as I don’t search for synergies in classes.
I’m really enjoying the strategic depth of Phoenix Point, but I definitely find myself struggling with some battles. I love the idea of focusing fire on one enemy at a time—definitely going to try that in my next skirmish! Also, I’m curious about base management—how do you all decide which buildings to prioritize? It seems like there’s so much to balance! Looking forward to hearing more strategies from everyone.
