Specialist in approach missions to unknown planets, Hua can land on pretty much any surface in any conditions. She was aboard the Epygron, the first exploration vessel to encounter extra-terrestrial life.

How to play

Hua's personal glory is earnt by going on expeditions and her entire skillset is aimed at improving the outcome of said expeditions. She is also the only character who is guaranteed to have Pilot and is often required to help with Hunter removal or scrap gathering.

Bronze Tips

Pilot: Hua's core skill, this versatile ability gives you a front seat for any planned expeditions as well as the ability to deal with Hunters. A Bronze Hua will want this skill 90% of the time.

Botanist: Allows Hua to gain more fruits from expeditions as well as tending the garden aboard the Daedalus. This skill should only be considered if Ian is inactive, you already have several pilots and no-one else is willing to watch over the garden. If you do take this skill to assist Ian, consider taking a plant or two to the dorms so you can water them daily.

Survivalist: Lowers the damage taken on expeditions and improves Alien Steak gains. Not worth taking as your only skill.

Technician: Improves the efficiency of ship repairs and allows you to reinforce any equipment aboard the ship. Worth considering if you ship has multiple pilots and no Technician, otherwise you should take Pilot and focus on gathering scrap metal.

Determined: This skill causes the percentage chance of success for an action to go up faster each time you fail it. Worthless as a bronze skill.

U-Turn: Hua's only unique skill. Allows her to cancel an expedition for 2 . It could be argued that a highly-coordinated ship could benefit from this skill to take riskier expeditions, but sacrificing a Pilot or Technician for it is just silly.

Silver Tips

Pilot / Botanist OR Survivalist: Gives Hua a bonus for any expedition she goes on. Botanist provides more utility back on the ship but Survivalist means more generated thanks to all the Steak you'll be pulling in. It boils down to personal preference.

Pilot / Technician: Allows you to fill two core roles aboard the Daedalus. However, Piloting is an AP-intensive skill so you'll often be relying on your free repair points to fix things. Additionally, this means you can repair the PILGRED in an emergency!

Pilot / Determined: Since Hua doesn't have access to Shooter this is the next best thing. It's not recommendable but it has the added benefit of helping with repairs and combat aboard the Daedalus. If you're lucky enough to get a Shooter Magebook, you'll be the best possible fighter pilot!

Gold Tips

Hua has a great, versatile skillset at level four. If you want U-Turn, drop Technician so you can focus entirely on expeditions. However, if your ship has no technicians you should drop Botanist or Survivalist for those emergency repairs such as the Oxygen Tanks or Lateral Reactors.

Useful tips

• Hua's strength is her bountiful expeditions. Make sure Frieda is doing her job!
• If the other Magebooks aren't beneficial for you, ask for the Chef magebook. You'll be able to freeze some of the steak you generate from your expeditions.
