| Is the easiest to help you succeed in ambushing? Assuming from TG 2 onwards, of course. |
| something that is fast to get assaulting I'd reckon. Certainly not demons? |
here are some creatures per faction u can consider
elf-sprites(broad attack) and efk(battledance)
dark elf-shrews(no retaliation and strike and return) and hydras(spray and no retaliation)
wizards-nt very gd
barb-gd attack but cant attack many at a turn
demon-nver use it
knight-still okay cuz of many shooters and griffins unlimited retaliation
necro-liches(plague shot) and apparitions + vamps(drain life) |
| wow I have found ambushing as a demon to be rather good. At my level both wolfhounds and spawns are very quick and can charge in to attack enemy stacks and quite often I dont even bother gating, or charge in attack first turn gate 2nd. But once lv 8 and demon amy changes with incinderies I am not sure how quick or good they are for ambushing. |
my opinion that slightly different from abyss: (if level 8, same as lordofdrgn)
demon - 79 incendiaries are like crazy, can deal about 300++ damage in 1 attack to hydras, or 500++ to low defense creature. with luck, 1000 damage
necro - liches have 10 init, not so good, there might be some chance that the enemy get close to you first. also, liches don't do much damage at level 8 (5 liches only) |
| iron, so is demon or dark elf better for ambushing? |
ooops i forgot incendiaries they are gd with their fire but i dunno wad the ability call called
if in level 8 its not bad at all |
about demon, maybe you can see this and ask him

122 wins, 2 loses on reaching TG2
DE is quite good since they have no ranged units that need to be protected, so its DE speciality. quite good though, even though compared to him, i have more losses.
But remember that racial skill on demon (gating) is much more needed than DE (magic piercing, needed?) so try to consider this also |
| i never had a problem ambushing as a demon, made even easier after getting cerberi. finding the right strategy for what you are fighting is the key to ambushes. the one thing demons have going for them is your gated units give you twice as many stacks as any other faction and they will take key damage to keep you alive that much longer. keeping your incendiaries alive to the end is key since they get stronger with each real stack you lose. a full stack of incendiaries with luck can do nearly 2000 damage. i fight all my thief battles in full arts to maximize my chances of winning but no matter what your faction once you win too many in a row the game throws you one you have no chance of winning. its a few steps forward one step back process. |
