Traps!!!!
« on: June 04, 2012, 09:47:14 am »
Is it possible to destroy traps? They just seem to fill Lieutenant towers now and make them a real chore. Not sure I like procedural traps they just seem too random.

So even with the latest batch of changes to make them spawn far less aggressively and less densely, unreasonable looking situations still occur?

BTW, no you cannot destroy traps, but someone found that clever usage of deployed boxes can push them around.

Cheers for the reply I'll try using boxes to get past the deathtrap that's been created for me.

I think they're SUPPOSED to appear in the lieutenant towers;  they're part of what make those challenging.   Those towers definitely seem like they're designed to be more of a platforming challenge than a combat challenge, though the microbosses in conjunction with the traps can be pretty tough.

Bring a shield with you when you can;  they can get you past otherwise impassable walls of spikes or whatever.

I've also found Miniature, Lesser Teleport and Scroll of Bat to be useful in getting past the traps in various places.
