| Author | can lv6 DE be a thief? |
|---|
i mean,lv 6 DE is really weak,no matter magic DE or might DE,sometimes they even cant deal with green-hunt,maybe i dont know how to use DE.
and i know thief is not an easy job.
i wanna be a thief,but shoud i do it now or wait until lv8 and get shrews?
thx. | Yes you can. But you need to have a LOT of money to have full arts and to replace them until you get to TG2. And not just any arts, but the best shop arts you can use at lv6. Although you can use leather boots instead of shoes of aspiration.
Recommended troops recruits are max liz, then max minos, then max poisoners.
I know this would work because I won some thief ambushes against caravans with this set up when I forgot to switch minos and poisoners back to shrews.
You can get to TG1 easily with about 90% sucess rate. Once you hit lv7 and TG1, things get a bit more difficult, maybe about 60% success rate. | oh, i just realize you have 160K. That is more than enough, I guess.
Try to get 2 rings of abdication and 1 amulet of luck, instead of rings of inspiration and medal of bravery, since minos already have 3 morale by default. | | should be fine. shrews to help alot, though you can ask for tips from Kiz if you need to | It was much easier at level 6 than level 7 for me.. I'm only just TG1 though, but I'll still say do it now if you can afford it.
imo lv6 DE isn't weak when it comes to ambushing. Very often you get the first strike with your rogues. That already severely cripples your opponent, especially if they are ranged-based. | | with shrews DE is best thief at lvl 6. | | ^^ I used only lv 5 arts + cape of wind, without shrews, to start at lv6 and finished lv.2 TG at lv7. Save much gold/res but losing a lot at lv2 though :P | Recommended troops recruits are max liz, then max minos, then max poisoners.
on second thoughts that would not be too favourable.
Since, the key to win ambushes depends on the liz's first strike.
If you have shrews, you can punch a hole in the caravan's corner in order for the liz hit the ranged stacks in the mid.
So, if you don't have shrews, you have to bring some rogues then, as rogues move before liz.
However, by bringing rogues, you are at the disadvantage against DE caravans as their shrews will quickly kill you.
Minos build should make you last longer against DE and Wiz caravans. | Minos build should make you last longer against DE and Wiz caravans.
true, but last longer with low attack can't win too. rogue also can punch a hole in the caravan's corner in order for the liz hit the ranged stacks in the mid, so not only shrews if you bring many rogues.
poisoner deal little damage and have small quantity and HP, so not really good i guess.
also, i don't suggest you to be magic DE, because when you meet DE or wiz caravan your magic is nothing compared to theirs.
DE lose in PvP because its very hard to take care of rangers, but when ambushing, most of your units can get their rangers in 1 turn, so DE is quite specialized in ambush, IMO. | ^^ Poisoners maybe not as good as rogues but they can deal ranged poison damage for few turns, have slightly better defense than rogue, much quicker than minos and can distract NPC attention from rogues.
>>> So any lv.6-7 formation that consist at least 10 poisoners can't be that bad. But it's not recommended to max. both rogues/shrews and poisoners in one team because they share same weakness, low HP .
Magic DE is ok for lv.1 TG but might DE have better chance at next level.
