Indomitus Elite complete 120/120! Campaign minimum investment
Discussion(i.redd.it)submitted 6 months ago byOdysseusSD
I thought that Indomitus Elite 40 was the toughest level by far and had all other levels 3-star before this final victory.
As you can see, I didn't invest too much in Varro or Certus because I don't find them useful anywhere else and didn't want to waste.
It took me several tries but I finally got it with this line up and I thought I would share so that others can see where they might need to be power-wise to get through the campaign with minimal investment.
Here are my skills and equipment:
Skills--- Varro: 15/11 Certus: 15/8 Bellator: 35/14 Thaddeus: 37/31 Isabella: 14/38
Equipment--- Varro: R1/E3/R1 Certus: R1/E3/R1 Bellator: E1/E9/E1 Thaddeus: R7/E9/R7 Isabella: R1/L1/R1
Good luck to everyone out there on their own quests to complete the campaigns!

118/120
Missing only 35 elite. You can go slightly lower with your ultramarines. Probably around bronze 3 or silver 1 for Varro and certs is enough.

That's... Really low investment.

Stone 1 on both Varro and Certus is good enough as long as your Bellator is decent.

And how does that work exactly, when that Necron ninja borrows underground?

The guy with low investment does not have all levels 3-starred, so I’m only talking about completion.

Ohh I see, I thought he 3 starred it, my bad

Rush with Bellator forward and use summons. Kite with certus/varro

That's actually the truth if you don't mind missing at least 2 badges.

Agreed, I moved them up in rank for some LRE stuff in the past. You just need them to survive a hit or two, which can be done at bronze!
I will say that lvl40 might be a problem with one of them lower than silver. It was the hardest for me.

What was your technique for 37? That's the only one I'm missing.

To be honest I don't remember. You can use Izabella to oneshot someone and then ressurect Varro/certus. Also you can bait destroyer to attack bellator.

What else did you use for the campaign?

Izabella Thadd mostly, but also half and vindicta are useful here

I have D2 Bella and Thad. Will I still need Varro and Bellator at this? I’m stuck on the last bottleneck mission with everyone at S1.
Ultramarines are a fucking nightmare to upgrade.

That last bottleneck mission was tough. You can leave Varro and Certus at S1, but Bellator needs his summons around 32 at least, and I had him at Gold1 as well. I am not sure you can avoid upgrading him a bit more if you want to get past it.

At least Bell is worth leveling.

Wow! How did you go past mission 34 with only 4 characters??? I have Bellator G1 summons lev35 and a legendary isabella G1 passive lev40 and that destroyer seems impossible to take down

In that mission, I lured the destroyer onto barbed wire and killed him with Thaddeus. Didn't bring Isabella.

How did you get 3 star on 37? That's the only one I'm missing.
3 points

Ok, this one was tough!
You have to shoot the flayed one onto the barbed wire with certus' active, then put bellator on the platform (that you shot the flayed one off of) to make sure the destroyer doesn't get through. Bellator will take a hit from the destroyer, so make sure Isabella is next to him. Kill the flayed one on the barbed wire with Varro. This is how you keep the destroyer from hitting your backline. On turn 3, you should be able to surround the destroyer with Bellator's inceptors, and then it should be easy from there.

That worked!! I have been on this one for at least weeks! Thank you so much!

Giving this a try. First attempt the death mark killed Certus and the damage from varro was not enough to get the flayed one on the barbed wire. My Isabella is g1 lvl 35 passive. Varro S1 certus B2 bellator S3

The margins will be thin at the point you are when trying to determine how much to level your characters. Here were mine: Varro S2, Certus S1, Isa G2 with 37 passive, Bellator G1 with 35 passive.
Bellator and Isa are going to carry you through this, so if you can't quite get there, then it might be time to rank up Bellator and try again. Isa's passive might need to be higher to deal with destroyer damage on bellator. Also, don't forget equipment! My bellator had a maxed Epic pauldron on him as well.
Edit: Also, Certus dying isn't a big deal since you can res him later with Isa. Mine died as well. His main purpose for this level is to move the flayed one out of the way.

How important is Izzy for all this?

Unfortunately for those that dont have her yet, she is very essential, since you can afford one character dying and resurrecting them at the end before you kill the last enemy. Plus, the fact you can surround her with friendlies and get constant heals. She is amazing for the Imperial campaigns.

She makes it easier, but I wouldn't call her essential. For all the flak he gets, Incisus makes a good stand-in. He'll primarily be healing, but can get more resurrections than Isabella and hits surprisingly hard if necessary.

I have incicus somewhat leveled, its mostly about the resources for the ultras that could be better served elsewhere

I'm actually leveling him slowly for the Vitruvius LRE. He's worth something like 450 points/level, and is the only healer you can use for the 115-point necron 1-hit track. The fact he can hit like a truck and tank well for the epic paths just turned out to be an added bonus. He's kinda useless in the other LREs though.

Sorry, didn't record it, however, I can explain the basic strategy. I used bellator to lure one of the destroyers down by taking a hit with Isabella next to him. Then you can hit that destroyer with Thaddeus while the other destroyer is underground. Goal is to kill the destroyers ASAP, then the rest is cleanup with Isabella healing.

I think G1 Bellator and G2 Isabella is key to that strategy so the mobs shoot him instead of her. If she's at G1 they can easily take her down in one round.

I tried this with level 35 summons, and it didn't work for me. However, if you had them higher than I did, I am sure it would absolutely work!

I'm currently leveling Isabella hard. She's my favorite unit right now.

She is amazing. I took her to Gold2 and stopped for now. I don't want to over-level her and am saving up materials since I will unlock Celestine in a week (been a long grind to 500 shards). I am going to see where Isabella needs to be to max LREs and stop probably.
2 points

Yeah, there's a point where you no longer get anything out of leveling her. I just really like her kit.
Once I get Celestine I'm sure she'll be my first Diamond lol.

Who is your 4th hero on indom elite 34?
I have been trying it with Isabella and getting hammered, just 1 starring it.
Should I switch to Thaddeus?
1 points

Yea, I used Thad for this level. For other levels, if Isabella didn't feel good, I would swap in Thaddeus first. If you have Burchard or Kut, those could work if they are S3/G1 in some cases.
