| This article is a stub. | **Brimstone** is a [[:programs:#breakers|breaker program]] which breaks 1 [[:firewall]] for a cost of 3 [[:PWR]], with no cooldown. Brimstone also has a passive effect which increases the probability of [[:daemons:#daemon reversal]] by 10%. Brimstone can be chosen as a [[:loadout#programs|starting program]], or bought from some [[:mainframe devices:Server Terminals]] for 450 [[:credits]]. |
| | |
| | The [[:achievements#Daemon Code]] achievement is awarded for completing the game with [[Faust]] and Brimstone as your starting programs. |
| | |
| | ===== Strategy ===== |
| | |
| | If Brimstone is your starting breaker, you will probably want to pair it with a high-PWR generator such as [[Faust]] or [[Seed]]. |
| | |
| | Brimstone's cost of 3 PWR per firewall hacked makes it one of the least efficient breaker programs --- in comparison, [[Data Blast]] can break firewalls on several devices for the same PWR cost --- so for Brimstone to be worthwhile, you need to get enough benefit from its passive effect. If you are often triggering daemons, then reversing an extra 10% of them may be helpful, but in practice the benefit is usually too small for it to be worth Brimstone taking up one of [[:Incognita]]'s program slots. Even with [[Faust]] installed, Brimstone will only reverse a daemon from Faust on average once in 50 turns, or every few missions. |
| | |
| | Brimstone may be a useful mitigation against [[:daemons:Fractal#Fractal 2.0]] in [[:modes:Endless]] mode. |
