Golem Unity unlock discussion

Don't tear yourself apart trying to find this one.

Variant discussion activate!

Unlocked her fighting La Capitan on Mars Base with Unity, Dark Visionary, Tempest, and Argent Adept.

Card unlocked after defeating La Capitan, killing blow by Tempest using Vicious Cyclone.  Unity (and I think everyone except possibly Argent Adept) was under 10 HP.

Edit:

Some additional details ... previous game had also included Unity (Iron Legacy vs Unity, Argent Adept, Scholar, Absolute Zero in Silver Gulch), with the heroes soundly defeated.  During the game with La Capitan, a number of bots were in play at the end (Stealth, Speed, Raptor, two Platform, Champion, Cryo)

jrboegman's method has been refined slightly. I tested it using the same team composition against the same villain/environment.

Final HP values were Unity 12, Dark Visionary 13, Tempest 14, Argent Adept 13. Did not unlock.

Tried to mix it up a little -- same team plus Fanatic, same villain, different environment (Insulation primalis).

No unlock. 3 of the 5 Freedom-bots were in play, tempest got the last hit. 

Did the same thing–first losing to Iron Legacy with characters and environment listed, then defeating La Capitan with characters and environment listed.  Only had Cryo and Stealth of the F5 bots put, though. Killing blow by AA with scherzo.

Did not unlock.

La capitan in the block with Legacy, unity,super scientific tachyon, tempest, redeemer fanatic. All under 10 hp, killed using vicious cyclone. No Unlock

I'm pretty sure you can't have Fixer on your team for this one.

A friend of mine posted on the steam fourms that he unlocked her.

I met up with him online today and asked him what he did to unlock.

He had 8 or 9 bots out including all but one of the freedom team, he had lower then 10 hp.

There is a screen shot of it on the steam forum unlock page for Unity.

Based on some testing -- and several unlocks -- on the Steam thread, we seem to have gotten the general rule "play a bunch of bots, have them deal a bunch of damage, Unity finishes with single-digit HP."

Also, having had Unity -- and possibly other Freedom 5 characters -- previously defeated by Iron Legacy is seemingly a requirement.

There's something we're missing, though, because I did all of that and didn't get the unlock; an interesting theory one poster proposed was that you needed to have another Freedom Five member (probably one who isn't Legacy on the team), play the bot corresponding to that character, and have that bot do its thing (e.g. Stealth Bot redirect, Turret/Cryo inflict damage, etc.) at least once. Didn't seem to work for me, though. I begin to suspect there's another prior game requirement -- like having Baron Blade incap Young Legacy, an idea a lot of people have thrown around. 

Had 10 bots in a fight, and all of the Freedom 5 bots were there. Even had Unity at 5 hp. No unlock.

To be fair it was against Blade, so...

Update.

A lot of people on the steam forums are getting her. Everyone is looking for concrete evidence on how to get her.

After reading all the comments and trying each strategy here's what happy to say I found out.

-HP must be below 10 for Unity.

-Must use each freedom bots function at least once.

-Must meet a certain amount of bots in play.

-A bot nor Unity does NOT have to deal the final blow.

-HP does NOT have to be below 10 for all heroes.

-Must lose previously to iron legacy with the freedom five. (-legacy)

-Villian does NOT matter.

-Environment does NOT matter.

(All the above is based on unlockers words with screen shots as proof)

After playing 24 matches with various combos of the above and trying I am happy to say the search for concrete evidence is over.

Well at least for me cause I give up.

-I had intentionally lost to iron legacy a match before with the freedom team.

-I had every golem out at the end except for one bee bot.

-I had done over 70 damage with golems.

-I had each freedom bot use its function.

-All HP was below 10 for everything on the map.

-Raptor bot did the final damage.

(Setup was: Absolute Zero, Omnitron-X, Unity. Time Cataclysm. Baron Blade)

Good luck! The variant search is over for me after 24 games with Unity trying to figure this out and 13 with Bunker trying to figure his out. I'm done tearing myself apart. It's up to you now.

This is a bit of a double post from the Bunker discussion:

Just got both Golem Unity and Engine of War Bunker in the same game.  Team was:

Argent Adept, (normal) Bunker, Omnitron-X, Unity vs. Baron Blade in the Block

Based on some stuff from the Steam forums, I thought that Bunker dying in the Block (where Fright Train is seen) was a good idea.  I thought that Prison Riot might be a necessary component, but I never saw it, so I guess it isn't.

I basically used AA and O-X to give Unity tons of card plays while Bunker used Grenade Launcher on various targets and stacked up the Omni-Cannon.  Once Unity had a fleet of bots, I had Bunker Omni-Cannon himself and then I let Unity's bots start hitting herself to get her down to 6.  Raptor bot won the game with a hit for 12 against the Baron.

I started using O-X on The Block to try for Prison Riot, but never saw it (or apparently needed it).

Prior to this game (based on advice from both forums) I lost 2 games against Iron Legacy using various Freedom Six team comps.

Specific to Unity, I had Champion Bot, Turret Bot, Stealth Bot, Swift Bot, AND Cryo Bot out, and all of them had done "their thing" at least once.  I also had all 3 Platform Bots out, as well as one Raptor Bot, and maybe 1 Bee.

I just unlocked her. I lost a game beforehand to Iron Legacy with Unity and 4 other Freedom Six characters on my team. Then, I beat Ambuscade in Megalopolis with Unity, Tachyon, Tempest, DV, and AA. Unity had 10 bots out and was at 8 HP. Most of the other characters were above 10 HP. I had every Freedom Five bot out, but most of them hadn't used their ability during the game. A bot delivered the final punch.

I think it's just lose a game to Iron Legacy with Unity, then beat a villain with Unity at 9 HP or lower and 10 or more bots out, maybe including all the Freedom Five bots.

Did bunker unlock when he incapped or when you won?

Unlocked Unity with eight bots out: Champion, Swift, Cryo, Turret, Raptor, Bee, & 2 Platform. Stealth had been out earlier. All the bots' special abilities got used at least once.  I played Powered Shock Wave that turn, but Raptor made the killing blow. Made heavy use of Construction Pylon during the game, and I think I used Modular Workstation and Inspired Repair at least once each.

I'd previously played a game with the Freedom Five (minus Legacy) + Unity vs. Iron Legacy & lost, though I did have him down to 5 hp. Also had a previous successful game against Iron Legacy in which Unity went down to 0hp.

This game was in Insula Primus vs. Cosmic Omitron with Unity, Scholar, Argent Adept, Visionary, and Tempest. Everybody ended at less than 10 hp.

Got it. First attempt was I had 10 bots, all Freedom 5 in play, no unlock. Tried losing to Iron Legacy, then went back and did it again, this time 12 bots, not all F5 were in, but each were in play at least once. It was on the Block with Baron Blade.

My working hypothesis is:

"Unity gets incapacitated by Iron Legacy. Then win a game while Unity is at 10 or fewer HP and Mr. Fixer is not on your team. Champion Bot, Cryo Bot, Stealth Bot, Swift Bot, and Turret Bot must have all entered play during this game."

I have the unlock, so I can't test further. 

I just unlocked her! She got incapped by Iron Legacy, then we did Bunker, OmniX, AA, and Unity at The Block; she had 5HP and at one point all the bots made an appearance. I tried it before with this setup and it didn't work, this time I used Powered Shockwave to finish it. I didn't play that card the time it didn't work, so I wonder if you have to play Powered Shockwave at least once. 

Then again, I had OmniX and Argent Adept giving Unity so many card plays and draws, it was sick. I think she played everything. She used 3 construction pylons, she activated Volatile Parts, she brainstormed twice, she did NOT play modular workbench, she did NOT play scrap metal, she did play Flash forge and Supply Crate, she did NOT play Robot Relcation or Hasty Augmentation. 

My theory: Have Unity get incapped by Iron Legacy, then use Powered Shock wave. Unity must either have played 5/8/10 bots or have done 20/30/50 damage between her and her bots. 

Hope this helps!

It's not this exactly, as I just fulfilled these exact conditions and didn't get the unlock.

This is interesting; in the game above where I failed the unlock, I didn't play Powered Shockwave. I'll try it again later with shockwave and see if that works.

I attempted the dual unlock for Bunker and Unity. Got Unity, did not get Bunker.

Had Omni, AA, Bunker, Unity and Dark Vis(in that order) fighting Baron Blade in the Block. Using Omni+AA+Dark Viz shenanigans I got out a mess of Unity's bots and had out all FV Bots(for at least one round so they could each do their thing) along with 3 raptors, a Bee-bot(which died) and a Platform Bot. Bunker played Upgrade Mode(which left play) along with Omni-Cannon and Flac Gun and had it charged up to 9 cards. I tried to perform a self-kill with him but had one point left, so Turret Bot finished him off. With a Raptor bot Biting unity down to 7 hp, Unity's bots won the game.

Edit: I had both lose a game against Iron Legacy a few games prior.

Powered Shockwave is her large blast, correct? I didn't use that card at all through my game, so I don't think that has a connection to the unlock.

Got her! My setup was Ra, Scholar, Argent Adept, Omniton-X, and Unity versus Ambuscade in the Block. I had a bunch of bots out, including all five F5 bots (though I don't think they all used their powers; Cryo Bot was never hit), ended with Unity at 7 HP, and a Raptor Bot dealt the finishing blow. Differences from my previous failed runs:

• In two previous attempts I used the same team, but with Young Legacy in place of Ra. Maybe Young Legacy (or just Legacy in general) aren't allowed on the team? Would make some sense, since Golem Unity is from after Legacy left the team. Has anyone unlocked her when playing with Legacy?
• I fought Ambuscade instead of Baron Blade. I doubt this made any difference, since other people have unlocked her with Blade, but it doesn't look like the Baron is required for the unlock.
• I played "Powered Shockwave" near the end of the game, when 9 or 10 bots were out. Doesn't sound like this is a strict requirement, but maybe it help me hit a damage threshold that's required for the unlock. I also wonder if Unity herself has to deal a certain amount of damage, rather than her bots? I feel like I did less damage with her overall than in previous failed attempts, but since I played Shockwave this time Unity definitely dealt more damage personally than before.

Not using Legacy is a good thought... I think I did use him the first time when I failed, but didn't use him when it unlocked. 

Hmm, maybe Powered Shock Wave isn't a requirement... I like the thought that there's a damage requirement. Or maybe a card draw requirement. Or maybe playing bots out of turn? 

I also used Powered Shock Wave when I unlocked her, but I suspect there's a confounding factor there and the true requirement is for Unity and her bots to inflict a certain amount of damage.

I'm also fairly certain about the ban on Legacy, and that it applies to all Legacy variants.

Got the unlock.  Used the whole F6 (minus Tempest), but that doesn't seem to matter.  Fought Blade in the Block, but it doesn't sound like either of those things matter either.

Did not use Powered Shockwave at all, so I think that's ruled out.

I did get the entire F5 Bot team in play, but as someone else mentioned too, Cryo didn't get hit so its power didn't get triggered.

In addition to the F5 Bots, I had 2 Platform Bots and a Raptor Bot.

Unity was at 7 hp at the end.

The only damage Unity did was from Bots.  Bunker got the final blow with the Omni Cannon.

If previous games matter, I had done the scenario where Blade kills Young Legacy on the Mars Base, and I'd both won and lost to Iron Legacy with an all F6 team before this.

Strange note on having Blade kill Young Legacy though.  I recently got a new tablet and didn't feel like fiddling with the legit unlocks all over again until the acheivements came out.  I just pushed the lazy button and got all my alts back.  So when Blade landed the finishing blow on Young Legacy, it also officially unlocked Young Legacy.  I guess the game doesn't distinguish between alts for the same character.  That's probably worth mentioning to Handelabra...

Failed.

4 hero game in the Realm of Discord against Baron Blade.  Tachyon, Redeemer Fanatic, Nightmist, Unity.

Lost to Iron Legacy previously with a 5 hero F6 team (did not have Tachyon).

Unity was at 5.  Swift, Stealth, Champion, Turret, and Platform were in play.  Raptor was in play but not at time of Blade's defeat.

I'll try it again with more bots in play.

Failed again.

Same setup.

Unity at 10 HP.

6 bots in play, the F5 bots + platform.

I'm going to try again, this time with 1 of each bot.

Success.

Same setup.

Unity at 1 HP.

Only 4 bots in play at time of victory.  Champion, Swift, platform, cyro.  All bots were in play at some point, and every ability of each bot was used.  Bee bot was not played I do not believe according to my notes.

Got the unlock.

Lost to IL with F6-Tempest first. Ambuscde vs SSTahyon, Haka, AA, Omni-X, and Unity in Insula.

Unity had 7 hp at the end and 8 bots in play: FF bots + 2 chomps and a platform. Unity hit the final blow (doesn't matter but she did) Used 3 methods to get bots out by "natural" means: pylon, base power, and the disard a card gear. 

I think the pertinant stuff is: Loose to IL, Hp >10, <5 bots out, win.

Variables to test: # of bots and FF bots, Unity needed to loose to IL.

Hope I'm helping.

I only had 4 bots out when I unlocked her though.  I think the trick is either the number of bots out at time of victory does not matter, or it's number of bots put into play has to be over 8 during the game.

You've got your signs switched around there; I think you meant HP < 10 and Bots > 5. But in any case, those conditions may be necessary but are definitely not sufficient. I played several games having fulfilled all of those and didn't get the unlock. 

A hunch: Make sure one bot has more health than she does.  I also had Tempest and no Legacy or other FF members. A/Z and Argent were my others.

Tested the above hypothesis in The Block against Baron Blade.  Team was Leader Tachyon, Bunker, Omni-X, Unity, Tempest.  Got Unity down to 7 health (mostly through friendly fire- Baron Blade was a bit of a pushover), had Turret Bot out at 9 health, along with Swift Bot and at least three other bots.

No Unlock.

I just got the unlock on Golem Unity and Team Leader Tachyon with a similar setup, but swapping Ardent Adept and Scholar for Tempest and Bunker. I had all of the F5 bots out, Unity at 7, hit Cryo a couple of times, and got the unlock.

I have done almost the same setup 2 or 3 times without unlocking, so there must be something really particular that you need to get.

Could it be that the bots need to cause above a certain amount of damage?

I got the unlock last night....

Team: Haka, SST, Omni-x, Unity
Villain: Ambuscade (He's just the easiest to test and unlock with in my eyes)
Environment: The Block (Just because it was fun)

SST and Omni-X were used to help Unity get out bots and equipment faster. Haka was used to deal with Ambuscade.

At the end....

Unity was at 7HP. Freedom 5 bots, 2 raptor bots, and a platform bot were out.  4 of the Freedom bots did their thing... Cryo was the only one that didn't fire off. raptor bots did 10 damage a piece and the platform bot finished off the job, getting the unlock.

Theory:  Based on the ARG that was used for Oblivaeon... I want to say that Omnitron-x has to be in party. It seems that Unity and Omnitron-X end up having quite the friendship. Also Golem Unity just kind of lends it self to a merge with Omnitron (SPECULATION on my end). Also, looking at the teams of people that unlocked it... most of them have Onmi-X in their line up.

So I am thinking...

Lose to Iron Legacy
Team has to have Onmitron-X in it
Play the 5 Freedom Bots and most of them have to use their power? (Cryo didn't though in my game)
Unity <10 Health
Win the battle.

At work so I can't test this. My Theory is after losing a game to iron Legacy, you then need to win a game with more bots in play than Unity has HP. Legacy cannot be on the winning team. 

Possibly relevant.  In my unlock I made sure to put a bot in with all three possible Bot playing powers (Her base, construction pylon, and modular workstation).  I also had more bots in play than her remaining HP.  And the bots did a ridiculous amount of damage.

Finally got the unlock. I had already lost to Iron Legacy (which I wouldn't be surprised if it is a condition for all of the Freedom 6).

I didn't get it after playing all of the Freedom 5 bots.

Neither when playing bots using all three methods.

Nor when I had one of each bot in play at the end of the game.

I did get the unlock when I did all three and when Unity's HP was less than the number of bots in play. weaden's theory I think fits as part of the condition.

My idea is that Unity must have been beaten by Iron Legacy. Then play all Freedom 5 bots in a game, and have Unity's HP lower than the number of bots in play at the end of a game.

waedens has the final piece of this puzzle. Thanks to the investigative work here and on the Steam forums, the unlock conditions for Freedom Six Unity have been determined by the community. Well done everyone!
 
Lose a game to Iron Legacy with regular Unity on the team. Then, defeat any villain with regular Unity and without a Legacy on the team. Unity must end the game with more mechanical golems in play than her HP.

I wasn't much help with the puzzle hunt, but at least i contributed here!
