Só o básico por favor.
Introdução
Greeting fellow programs! Estou escrevendo este guia por dois motivos:
Primeiro, Eu realmente gostei de jogar Lamplighter’Liga. Harebrained é um ótimo estúdio e eu’sou fã do trabalho deles, especialmente as séries Battletech e Shadowrun. E em segundo lugar, currently there is a dearth of strategy guides for Lamplighter’s League at the moment. And by that I mean literally zero. Maybe I missed something.
Oh, sure there are some half-baked summaries from Sports Illustrated, GQ and the like. (And don’t get me started. If I want to get good information on the economy, perhaps Fortune is a good source. But they’re clearly in it for the clicks. Noobs.) To be sure, the devs put together some nice introductory videos. But I find them simple and insufficient.
Então, without further ado, EU’ll get started. EU’ve decided to divide the guide into several sections, each covering a different but critical aspect of the game. After reading some of the discussion in the forums, I hope to pass on some in-depth information and strategies that have worked for me. My goal is to perhaps save you some time and effort in your strategic planning during the implementation of your campaign.
Também, I must make this disclaimer: eu não’t finished the game. EU’m taking my time so, of course this guide will be incomplete. As I progress and complete playthroughs I may choose to add some pertinent information, but I may not ever update this guide either. My hope is that some other Lamplighter’s fan is putting together a real strategy guide complete with all the gooey details. But as the old saying goes, “A bird in hand is better than two in the bush” so this is what you’ll have to do with until then. (Sim, EU’m old. I have a wife and four kids so you’re lucky I’m spending the time to do this. Vocês’re welcome.)

Hideout Screen
Functionally this is your base.
Deixar’s talk about resources first. Each are gathered by collecting an item during a mission or as a reward for completing a mission.
Suprimentos- the currency for buying things from the supplier, Captain Nicky. Isto’s the money you spend at the store.
Intel-. EU’ve usually found at least one per mission, but sometimes you can find more. Expeditions can provide it as well. Intel allows you to go on certain expedition missions which advance the plot or find a recruit.
Healing Balms- allows you to heal agents who’ve been mortally wounded on the last mission so you can use them for the current mission.
Aether- the upgrade resource for your Allies.
Skill Points- the upgrade resource for your Agents.
Ink- the upgrade resource for your Undrawn Cards.
Rei’s Aether(?)- the upgrade resource for the more powerful Ally skilltree unlocks. Cru.
Ser(?)- the upgrade resource for your Agent’s more powerful skilltree unlocks. Cru.
Locke serves as the narrator. Up to where I’m at in the campaign (Semana 18) he has had no other function.
Captain Nicky is your supplier. Você não’t have to go on a mission to recruit him. He offers consumables such as grenades and healing kits, but will also sell you armor and weapon attachments.
All agents start with one consumable slot, one armor slot, one accessory slot, and one weapon mod slot. You can unlock two additional consumable slots via the central upgrade tree from your allies Mother Amina and Danys Belfort. Sim, this means doing their recruiting missions. However once you acquire them the unlock has only one prerequisite and is fairly cheap. I highly recommend it. On a side note, as far as I can discover there is no way to sell back items. Eu não’t know why the developers chose not to implement this. Sad.
Nicky’s starting menu looks like this:
Bandages- Targeted. cura 40 HP. Custo 15.
Flash Bomb- Granada. Applies Marked and Blinded. AOE 3. Custo 15.
bomba de fumaça- Granada. Creates Smoke(-25% hit chance for any unit inside). AOE 5. Custo 10.
Fire Bomb- Granada. Creates Fire. Applies Burning(25 damage DOT). AOE 3. Custo 20.
Light Armor- armaduras. +5 armaduras. Custo 100.
Conforme você progride, Nicky’s store improves as you unlock more items. This is done by upgrading your Allies in the Hideout. Here is what I have currently in my store:
Frag Grenade I- Granada. 40 dano, shreds 10 armaduras. AOE 3. Custo 30.
Vitality Gear I- armaduras. Max HP +30, max stress +2. Custo 200.
Thunder Bomb I- Granada. Knock Down. AOE 3. Custo 25.
Vitality Gear II- armaduras. Max HP +60, max stress +3. Custo 450.
Body Armor- armaduras. +10 armaduras. Custo 250.
Speed Suit- armaduras. +1 velocidade(movement). Custo 200.
Frag Grenade II- Granada. 55 dano, shreds 15 armaduras. AOE 3. Custo 50.
Thunder Bomb II- Granada. 40 damage and Knock Down. AOE 3. Custo 50.
Accuracy Talisman- Mod de arma. +10% hit chance. Custo 150.
Critical Talisman- Mod de arma. +10% chance crítica. Custo 100.
Armor Shred Talisman- Mod de arma. +5 armor shred per attack. Custo 150.
Stress Flask I- Granada. inflige 2 estresse. AOE 3. Custo 25.
Stress Remedy I- Targeted. cura 3 estresse. Custo 20.
Hasten Flask I- Targeted. +1 AP. Custo 38.
Medical Kit I- Targeted. cura 75 HP. Custo 30.
Ammunition Talisman I- Mod de arma. +1 munição. Custo 125.
Damage Talisman I- Mod de arma. +10% dano. Custo 225.
Accuracy Talisman II- Mod de arma. +17 hit chance. Custo 250.
Armor Shred Talisman II- Mod de arma. +10 armor shred. Custo 300.
Stress Flask II- Granada. inflige 4 estresse. AOE 3. Custo 50.
Stress Remedy II- Targeted. cura 5 estresse. Custo 40.
I will try to add to list as I discover more items, but hopefully this gives you an idea of what to expect.
Aliados
A couple of notes here. In order to recruit an Ally, you must first find them and then complete their rescue mission. This takes time, resources and in so doing will increase all the threat meters. Vestir’t let that dissuade you from going after them. Allies are important. If you get the opportunity to recruit them, faça isso. Their upgrade trees make a huge difference in your Agents power level. I cannot state this enough. If you have to prioritize, choose Danys first, Amina second, and Mei last. Danys weapon upgrades are game changing. Prerequisites are indicated below each skill tree.

The Undrawn Hand
Tapping into the lore of Lamplighter’Liga, the Undrawn Hand is a new and welcome addition to the game. This mechanic is interesting in that it lets you assign unique abilities to agents that can increase the efficiency of their role or allow them to step outside the bounds. Agents start with 3 slots, one of which is unlocked. Eu posso’t remember if the second slot is unlocked at a certain point or if you have to rescue Mei. The third slot is unlocked deep in Mei’s central upgrade tree. One Undrawn Hand card is earned at the end of every mission. On most maps I’ve been able to find an item called “Mote of Fate” which looks like a swirling black ball. Isto’s usually hidden well and out of sight but if you find it, vocês’ll get an extra card at the end of the mission.
Cards are drawn randomly and come in three flavors: comum, incomum, and rare. As you can probably guess, their abilities scale depending on the rarity. Cards can also be leveled, improving their abilities up to five times. This can be done either by drawing a duplicate of the same card on an agent you took with you on the mission, or by using ink. Ink is the Hideout resource that allows you to upgrade a card without using a duplicate. This method is accessed through the Agent menu, selecting the Undrawn Hand menu to the left of the agent, and then selecting the card to upgrade. The first upgrade is cheap, however they get significantly costlier quickly.
1st tier- 32 Ink
2nd tier- 128 Ink
3rd tier- 512 Ink
4th tier- ?
Ink is acquired in several ways. Discarding cards you do not wish to keep at the end of a mission nets you small gains of around 4 ink for each common card. Higher rarities provide more ink. Replacing a card already assigned to an agent refunds the ink based on the level of the card you are replacing. The most efficient way to gain ink is by allowing an agent to get “stress broken” or put in “mortal danger” and then taking them on the next mission. A stress broken or injured agent acquires a RED UNDRAWN HAND card that covers one of their current Undrawn cards, replacing it with a negative effect for 3 in-game weeks. These cards are assigned based on the type of agent. Por exemplo, if a Bruiser gets a RED CARD, it is usually something like “Half Speed”. If a Saboteur gets a RED CARD, it will be something like, “After attacking, 50% chance to be DAZED.” They are designed to be punitive and increase the difficulty of the mission. No entanto, if you can keep that agent from getting put in mortal danger or stress broken, the RED CARD is removed, and the agent will acquire a large amount of ink. I received 96 ink the last time this happened.
Even though the agents in Lamplighter’s League have unique abilities, they usually fit the class the agent belongs to. The Undrawn Hand is how you can make each agent your own creation. There are a dizzying amount of cards and combinations that can turn your agents into scions of destruction. You can give ranged attacks to Bruisers, melee attacks to Sneaks, or create AOE fire at will. You can create an AP machine, crit machine, or stress machine. At one point, my Ingrid had two abilities that created stress, one from being the target of an attack and another from a targeted AOE. She was making whole squads run in terror.
Below are the cards I currently have assigned to my agents with some notes:
Purnima-
The Sage(cru)- Nível 3. +5% chance crítica. On scoring a crit, reduce cooldowns by 1.(She is the crit queen and reducing cooldowns for her allows her to access powerful abilities like Kill Shot more often.)
The Great Wind(incomum)- Nível 3. Upon becoming “Inspired”, +2 velocidade para 2 rodadas. Enquanto “Inspired”, attacks gains 15% chance to grant 1 AP. Max 3 AP per round. (A perfect match for her since she becomes “Inspired” when reloading after she unlocks Practiced in her skill tree.)
Eddie-
The Leech(cru)- Nível 2. Attacks have 35% chance to inflict Bleed. When attacking a bleeding enemy, ganho 5 HP. (Eddie is all about firing a ton of lead. One of his attacks can target up to six enemies. This allows the card to proc more often for DOTs and heals.)
The Strategist(incomum)- Nível 3. After reloading, the agent’s next attacks gains +25% dano. (Eddie’s reload timing coincides nicely with his Bullseye ability cooldown, increasing it’s crit damage to insane levels.)
Ingrid-
The Tyrant(comum)- Nível 2. This agent has +2 max stress and when attacked the attacker suffers 1 estresse. (Ahhhh. A perfect pairing for the dulcet dove who likes to mix things up with beefy men three times her size. EU’ve given her the “Underwater Idol” accessory which heals stress on kill. She handily keeps her stress low while dishing out stress to all who attack her and setting them up for a killing blow, which gives her more AP to do it all over again.)
The Fallen(comum)- Nível 2. Ranged ability. Deals damage that ignores armor. Medium range. 1 turn cooldown. (Usually does around 30-40 dano. I use this when I just can’t reach my target, but I can kill them to get another AP.)
Lateef-
The Rogue(comum)- Nível 1. Ranged ability. Deals 50% more damage against marked enemies. Medium range. 1 turn cooldown.
The Forsaken(cru)- Nível 1. This agent’s attacks have 10% chance to inflict Dazed.
Ana-
The Salamander(comum)- Nível 1. Cast Burning hazard. AOE 2. Close range. 5 turn cooldown.
Agents
You will start the game with three agents: Ingrid, Eddie, and Lateef. Agents fall into three categories, each with different real time abilities and in-combat focuses.
Sneaks are granted stealth when not moving and have three charges of “Sucker Punch”, a real time ability that allows them to take out single targets out of combat. Sneaks should primarily take the role of scout. They are best used
ungroupedfrom the rest of the team gathering resources and discovering the map. Recon mode is nice, but there is no actual in-game map in Lamplighters League. Recon mode should only be used to give you a general sense of which direction to go.
Sneaks should be doing most of the work figuring out what the situation is and from which direction your attack should come from. Keep your other agents far enough back that if you decide to take someone out they won’t be discovered and trigger combat prematurely. The AI is smart. Single guards will often present tempting targets, however patrols are typically composed of two or three units covering a well-defined route. That means your target’s body will usually be discovered and set off alarms. This is why you should keep your other agents hidden far back until you are ready to enter combat. Once the enemy has been alerted, they will search FAR AND WIDE for you. If this happens and your other agents are just hanging out around the corner or behind a nearby tree, you will most likely be facing a premature combat situation where your team is split up and unable to support each other.
Bruisers are your melee units. Their real-time ability is “bater”, a rushing attack that can take out multiple units in a single line regardless of HP. This ability is best used against the roving perimeter guards that usually travel in groups of twos or three’s. Just make sure you pick a place that won’t draw attention or that you can retreat easily from in case you make too much noise.
Saboteurs are your mid-range, all purpose units. They have a real-time ability called “Shock Mine” which allows them to throw a trap mine that draws the attention of nearby units and kills the first enemy who steps on it. The range on this ability is very good and this is a great way to take out the annoying “radar” units which prevent your Sneak from infiltrating too far into the enemy position. They look like skinny sniper units with white glowing eyes and have regular white pulsing waves that emanate from them. Be aware that Sneaks can be discovered even when in stealth by these units, so taking them out should be a priority to ensure you start combat on your terms and not the AI.
A word of caution, elite units and scions are immune to ALL of these take-down abilities, but not to the effects of destructibles, granadas, and other consumables. Sim, I learned that the hard way. Também, pools of oil and water create sound. Be careful moving through them.
Your initial team consists of one of each of these types of agents. I highly recommend you include one of each of the agent types in every mission. There are areas that only Sneaks can access, walls that only Bruisers can break, and doors that only Saboteurs can open. Your starting agents are quite good. Na verdade, you could actually finish the campaign without ever recruiting another agent. Their signature abilities are very nice and their passives are incredible. In the case of Ingrid, I would even say borderline OP.
Pessoalmente, EU’ve been able to recruit two additional agents, Purnima and Ana. Purnima is a Sneak who functions as a sniper and Ana is a Saboteur who functions as a healer.
Agents start with several skills and have 3 branching skill trees similar to Allies. To upgrade your agents, select the AGENTS tab in HIDEOUT, choose which agent you prefer, and then select the “Habilidades” menu on the upper left of the screen.
Perhaps when I get some more time I will type out their perspective skill trees like I did for the Allies. But I’m running short on time. Desculpe!
Mapa mundial
This menu is mainly about your overall campaign progress and mission selection. It shows a map of the world and will have pips that represent missions scattered accross it. There are several key ideas that I wish to share.
Primeiro, you’ll notice at the top of the screen the three threat meters associated with each House.
Zorana Nicastro is the C’Thulu sea-loving, emo goddess of scratching you to bits. Marteau is Ironman gone bad, a genius billionaire flapperboy who has a thing for the undead and machines. And finally there is Strum, a fully fleshed 1930’s version of Hitler and the Third Reich, complete with book burning parties and rows of parading soldiers. Hmmm. There isn’t much character development here so don’t go looking for it. Although I do find Zorana interesting…
The threat meters represent the progress of each House toward ruling the world. Como você pode ver, there are breakpoints for each meter that make that House more powerful during missions. Além disso, the scions of each house will randomly appear in the missions on the world map. If you see them appear it’s actually a GOOD thing.
Why you say? Nós iremos, that leads me to my second point. There’s a secret for extending your game and beating the timers: defeating scions rewinds their threat meters by a significant amount. Além disso, try to focus on missions that produce the largest amount of threat. Each week there will be three missions related to a House with a meter above it representing the amount of threat that mission will generate if not completed. One will be low(1-2 pontos), another will be medium(2-3 pontos), and one will be high(3-4 pontos). Focusing on the high threat missions can buy you weeks of time and defeating scions sets their House meter back 4-5 pontos.
If you get into trouble, the game generates a mission that will reset that threat meter back to the last breakpoint. This gives you some room to breathe as well. Be wise. I’m playing on standard difficulty and in week 18 Eu tenho 9/40 threat from Nicastro, 10/40 threat from Marteau, e 9/40 threat from Strum. It’s doable people.
Terceiro, be careful when you take a Hijack mission. These have variable rewards based on how far you a willing to push it. If you choose to try to redirect the third shipment be prepared for an onslaught. Your team should be able to take out a whole patrol in one or two rounds by now, but you’ll need every advantage including thunderbombs, firebombs, signature abilities, and some good ol’ luck to make it out. Near the end the AI drops in a patrol
todoturn and it may include up to two elites. Save your consumables and signature abilities for this phase of the battle. It doesn’t matter if you are being swarmed, get your team to the escape area and you will automatically win. And try to time your movement so that you can activate the next shipment right after the last one finishes. Boa sorte. You’ll need it.
Por último, make sure you stash enough Intel to do Expedition missions. These net you nice rewards for just assigning a single Agent to them. Sometimes they’ll even uncover new recruits!
Mission Exploration and Combat
I only have a few things to say here. Maps are procedurally generated. I have yet to play the same map, however I have played on similar tile sets. Some are crowded and difficult to explore, and some are more linear and easier to navigate.
Usually you’ll face several enemy encampments with varying amounts of enemies. Some encampments may include elite units with special abilities. Some encampments may include a reinforcement pad or two with varying countdown timers.
My advice is to explore the map as fully as possible. Itens, granadas, motes, and secret areas full of supplies are critical to kitting out your agents and keeping them in the best gear.
Vestir’t rush through the maps. Take your time and use your sneak to scout out the area. Get your agents into position. Take out a few guards. Then choose to enter turn-based mode when you’re ready.
Most maps also include an item called “Segundo Vento”. This resets your Signature and refills all of your out of combat ability charges. I’ve found up to three of them on a single map. Use them. Charges not used by the end of them mission are wasted.
During combat, be aware of crates of dynamite, barrels of oil, pools of water, and other destructibles. These are keys to turning the tide of battle in your favor. A crate of dynamite will knock down every unit in its radius, buying you time to focus down an elite or clear out the garbage. A shock grenade will electrify everyone standing in the water it lands in. A well placed fire bomb can block a path and make enemies take a long detour. And everyone should have at least one thunder bomb for that moment they need to get some space between them and the onrushing horde.
Here is the list of status effects that I promised, courtesy of NekoNoUnchi.

Blinded: Debuff. Hit chance -50%.
Dazed: Debuff. This unit has -1 AP for 1 round.
fugir: The first attack attempt made against this unit automatically misses. Lasts for 1 round.
Inspired: Buff. +15% hit chance, +15% crit chance for 2 rodadas.
Invisible: Buff. Enemies cannot see or target this unit.

Marcado: Debuff. Incoming attacks on this unit have a +15% hit chance.
Fumaça: Incoming attacks against units in smoke have a -25% chance to hit and to crit.
DoT Effects

Burning: Debuff This unit suffers fire damage (25 base dmg) each round until extinguished.
Chocado: Debuff This unit suffers 10 Shock damage per round, e tem 50% velocidade.
General Effects
Stress Break: After a stress break, human enemies flee combat and cower. Non-human enemies go berserk and attack anything in their path, even other enemies! Broken enemies will come to their senses in a few turns. Any agent can defeat a broken enemy with the Finisher ability which costs 1 AP regardless of the enemy hit points.
A word on elite enemies and their abilities.
The tentacle units have a ranged poison attack, but their signature ability is a one round AOE that causes slow. If you don’t move your units out of the effect, it will collapse on the next enemy turn causing a stress break.
The big dudes carrying a flamer are slow, but will move toward whoever attacks them. Never attack them with ranged abilities in close and never melee them unless you can kill them. They will react and knock down your agent and then proceed to set them on fire. When killed they explode doing 40 or so damage in a large radius the next enemy turn. The best way to deal with them is to knock them down and then unload while they’re lying prone, unable to react.
The white dog looking things have a medium range bark that can push back units, usually resulting in a knockdown. They can also react to agents moving by them with a melee attack. Their signature ability allows them to attack multiple units for devastating damage as they move from one target to the next.
Scuba dudes are have a targeted stress attack and when killed will immediately explode, dealing stress to all agents units within a small radius.
Uniformed officer units are actually easy to deal with. They have relatively low health for an elite and a meager ranged attack, but they can call in two machine gun units as reinforcements. It takes them a turn, but it’s plenty of time to catch them and finish them off. In addition to removing them from the field, when you kill them they will demoralize all enemy units within a large radius by adding a stress debuff.
Pharoah fire dogs are easy as well, just try kill them quickly because they have a fire aura and explode occasionally, setting things around them on fire. Their scarab summons are easy kills.
Pensamentos finais
Nós iremos, there you are. That is as much as I know up to this point. Please forgive me if I’ve missed something or you find my guide too simple.
I hope you enjoy Lamplighter’s League as much as I am. It’s got a lot of potential and I’m sure the developers will fix the small quirks that hold it back from becoming truly exceptional. Mesmo assim, in my opinion they earned their pay. It’s not often I get to play such a rewarding turn based tactical strategy game. These days they are few and far between. Cheers.
Good luck and good hunting.
