[GI] Gates Difficulty

I have some questions regarding Galaxy Gates,

first Formations ...
Drill vs Moth
I heard that Moth is the best formation for gates , but is hard for me to do the math because there is a variable as shiled vs hp amount and also a variable as shield damage distribution ....

So will Moth rly save time in all gates? or only in zeta since they have close to 50-50 distribution and somewhat egal amount of shield/hp

second Difficulty:

I have a FE goli (still need some lf3 but i have enough credits) , 15 bo2 15 7900 kamikaze 3 and 3 lf4

I would want to know if i can finish all the gates with this items or i will have hard time on kappa and kronos?

 

Enemies with a high shield to hp ratio you would use moth, otherwise use drill.

 

Moth is the best for almost all gates, the damage distribution on NPC in GG (not just Zeta - although this is the most noticeable because a lot of Zeta NPC have more shields than HP) is much worse than it is in the regular map, so they are quicker to kill with moth.
With gates like Alpha / Beta / Gamma you only need to shoot mordons, devs, sibs and bks - you can easily kamikaze the rest. Some gates might be a bit of challenge for you the first time round but having the level 3 kamikaze will help you a lot.

You will probably have difficulty with both Kappa (the last 2 waves might take you a while) and Kronos. Kronos especially because there are A LOT of waves and if you kill too many ships from each wave then the next will come out, can lead to a lot of enemies on your screen that can do quite a lot of damage. Better to send them to the corners first , rep up, then kill them in the corners.

 

Drill. If NPC run away in corner, use moth or kamikaze.

Every gate is doable with almost any equipment, depends how much time you have and how good you are.

You have kamikaze, so use it.

 

i would recommend u only zeta, alpha and epsilon, i think u will have a bad time doing the rest of the gates (because ur equipment mentioned above) but as some user said if u have skills and if u have pet with kami lvl3 it will be easy.
about the formations, both of them are good and each one has pros and cons, it depends on the player; i prefer drill although u will lose shield and speed, but i must accept with moth is easier and faster, the aliens are going to run so quickly but the bad thing is, if u have lag u could be killed as it drains all of your shield, thats why i prefer drill (or diamond, i always have lag :v)
cheers

 

well i was around when the best ship was a FE and you could not leave the gates between waves (7h gamma FTW , no break) , was concerned about the new gates a.k.a kronos or kappa that i never tried

 

kappa is no so easy, u could have problems with the boss-lordakium wave or the cucurbium one or the last two waves.
and kronos is kind of long and too much ships, can be something hard to deal

 

If you're able to do a gamma as you have indicated, then kappa will be no problem. a couple boss lords or cucumbers in kappa are much easier than gamma bk's.

I can't speak much to kronos as I only did one before I semi-retired.

 

Kronos is around 30 mins,if ur fully boostered etc and get it right, always thought it was kinda long so worked on getting it shortened. Then I retired

 

Oh and yes, as someone said, all the gates are doable, some just take longer with non elite stuff

 

A nice easy gate for newbies is the lambda gate it can be done by a level 5 or 6 players who has managed to get all there elite kit LF3's, Iris drones, BO2's and speed gens with a good config it can be done in a hour and level your drones to level 4. If you do not have the uri for a drill or moth formation a x formation will help as long as you swap back to a standard formation before the NPC's go pop, on the boss lordakium wave and BBK waves get the boss lil sibs and BLk's to chase you from bottom left corner to top right corner when there all destroyed you can then kite the slower big NPC's with no big problems.

 

Well i already have drill , was asking because want to know if it worth investing in Moth just to do gates , at least atm
