Run in, activate counter attack, use next turn to apply the +10 defense buff, then use this warrior last in your second turn.Ħ:One should strive to utilize double turns. One can do something similiar with the warriors in Torns group.

Use him last on your second turn to maximize the duration of his defense buff. A lot of enemies should kill themselfs this way. The most important thing to do with him is to use him first on your first turn, march him straight into the biggest combination of enemies and activate his defensive ability. Other adversaries, for example Frisian swordsmen, should generally be killed last because they provide a bonus to damage for everyone else on death.ĥ: I believe far more people have problems with Lo Pheng then with Torn. Without energy they only move on tile, which turns them from murder machines to useless turn wasters. An often undervalued feature is that the incredibly tanky and quite hard hitting Ense Javelineer (who somewhat confusingly are a melee unit) units only have a natural movement speed of 1. There are a number of characters (warriors mostly) which work reasonably well as such tanks.Ĥ: One should consider, based on the enemy, if one wishes to attack energy or health. For Thorn, this means whoever got the +10 defense card on him, for Lo Pheng it typically means him with his defensive ability activated. Most cards are also useless turn, although some cards (especially the +10 defense card) are great.ģ: You win fights by making the enemy hit your highly defensive tank guys. Secondary, enemy melee characters can be made useless by having noone to whack because they are out of position. If provided with a target, they will attack it even if it is Lo Pheng with his defensive Ability activated. First, the AI is actually not very smart. There are a couple of mechanics to exploit here. A useless turn is a turn in which your character is running away, running towards someone or doing fairly ineffective attacks.Ģ: As such, one should consider way in which to minimize useful turns for the enemy. A useful turn is a turn in which your character does something that provides you an actual material benefit. Since people remark that they have trouble with combat, allow to share some pointers:ġ: You win combat by having more 'useful' turns then the enemy does.
