Original challenge description below:
End start of month wrap-up!
Knights! I'm here to wrap up our No Soldier Challenge. It's been a very fun month seeing everyone's strategies running without a Soldier. It apparently wasn't much of a challenge for most of you, though many commented on missing some very specific Soldier talents!
A few highlights from the month:
Jotwebe, posted detailed AARs with lots of screenshots and writeup over on our Discord! They were a lot of fun to read through and so many gorgeous photos!
Habitually Red, here on Steam, did writes up and included hashes for the talent builds they were running on their mercs.
shallowrain gave us screenshots of their talent trees, along with screenshots and writeups of the action!
Phreak posted YouTube videos of their No Soldier shenanigans. Currently there are 32 episodes! You can find the first here.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our No Soldier challenge! As always, even if you missed the month we were running our challenges live, we always love seeing how you tackle them! Our next community challenge will be a STF, but we will have another CKF one soon!
----------
Hello, Knights! It's time for another CKF Community Challenge. Our previous challenge was all about leaving your Vanguard back in the safehouse and giving your Agent EX a chance! For this challenge, we are asking you to leave your Soldier at home. Soldiers, or at least some soldier talents, have become a mainstay in almost every group out there, so it's time to mix it up!
There are two requirements for this challenge:
- You cannot take a Soldier on any mission
- You cannot multiclass anyone into any Soldier talents
For a true challenge, apply these requirements to a fresh start, brand new game. This is not required however, you can just pick up from wherever you are and just no longer use a Soldier or any Soldier talents via respec.
As always, we want to see and hear about your adventures tackling the challenge so here are some ideas for what we’d love to see:
- Screenshots of your squad and their talent trees
- After Action Reports of your missions, challenges you faced
- Tell us about the challenge posed by not having a Soldier, were there any? Were you surprised in any way?
- Any other creative ways you want to share to tell us about your heists with your multi-classed mercs: memes, interpretive dance, gifs, etc
No matter what you choose to share, please share screenshots of your Soldier-less squad on a mission!
We’ve opened up a discussion here on Steam in the General Discussion forum for aIl of your posts. If you post in our Discord, head to #nosoldier_challenge to join in on the conversation!
