Lemnis Gate is a new breed of combat strategy shooter where only the smartest survive. Turn-based, tactical, and set entirely within a 25-second time loop, the stakes are high and there’s plenty to ponder.
So before you jump into the game, take a look at these 14 essential tips and tricks that’ll help you gain an edge on the battlefield and have you outsmarting the competition in no time!
- Anticipation shots: Anticipate your enemy’s moves by covering points of interest with bullets, traps, or shields. This will prevent them from countering your plans.
- Temporal strategies: Combine the actions of your past, present, and future Operatives. Not everything has to be solved in a single turn.
- Spectate the loop: In between turns, fly your drone around the map to see the current state of the time loop. Use this opportunity to plan your next move.
- Ghost Mode: Died mid-turn? No problem, you can finish your turn as a ghost. Your ghost actions will become real if that Operative is saved in a later turn.
- Break the butterfly effect: Losing control of the battlefield? Turn the match in your favour by finding the culprit and erasing their cascade of deadly events from the loop.
- When and where: Remember, it’s not just about an Operative’s position in space, but WHEN they are in time. Plan accordingly.
- Friendly Fire: Friendly fire is always on. Be wary of running into your own gunfire, even from past turns. You don’t want to take yourself out.
- Operative selection: There’s always the perfect person (or robot) for the job. There’s no room for favourites in Lemnis Gate, selecting the right Operative is the key to a successful strategy.
- Action/Reaction: Going first? Go ahead and set the tone for the match. Going last? Seize control by stopping every move your opponent made before you.
- The UI is your friend: Use strategy markers or check the objective timeline on-screen to help you create and execute the perfect strategy.
- Always have a Plan B: Missed a key shot? Don’t panic. You can fix mistakes in future rounds. Maybe this accident can lead you to a brand new master plan.
- Combat Focus: Focusing exclusively on one objective or enemy Operative can be easy to counter. Diversify and spread your team out to cover as much ground as possible.
- Keep Moving: A stationary target is an easy target for a future bullet. Make your movements unpredictable to throw off your opponent.
- Shields for days: If you do decide to stay still, make sure to shield yourself in the next turn by deploying a defensively minded Operative such as KARL.
