I think poisoners are not too good .. better save ur money or invest for next level buildings or buying some arts .. ^^
Even without poisoners, u can still win against Elves if u want .. ^^ |
poisoners are great after you have lizard cavalry :)
Cheers,

But shrews only comes at lvl 8 if you don't use diamonds.
DE have a very low HP pool before lvl 8, they can't afford to take retals with their main stacks.
bandits have lower ini than lizards wich means you can't take retal with them.
I have never used more than 4 poisonners in my army, but they saved my day in a lot of situations. |
| I have bought poisoners today. Good for thieving. Level 9. Cheers :-) |
poisoners are not better than sprites. they are useful sometimes, but not so much as sprites (that can deal massive damage to few stacks in one shot) and they are wasted investment when one fights against poison immune creatures (necro units).
shrews? i don't see Wizardlycreatur mentioned those. if he did then he'd probably ask about FK upgrade... anyway, shrews with no counterattack are twice as better as any battledance unit. ;) |
| it depends what kind of combat you conduct. poiseners are used usually for taking retal. sprites are used for removing the poison, many but slow creatures in hunts, and to block archers, but never to take retal. for taking retal, the elf needs to use fk/efk which, at low combat level, are few anyway.each creature has its own advantages and disadvantages in different combats. each faction has its own disadvantages at certain levels. my suggestion would be to choose a faction which suits your personality the most and stick with it. |
poisener is the best unit to take retal for lizard.
further more,in an ambush,thief's poiseners can easily stand by the ranged unit after shrews clear the way.
that's why i spent almost 70000G to buy poiseners. |
| take it from an experienced DE, poisoners have extreamly good uses. even if you only take 1 or 2. they move just before lizard calvery to drain retaliation. when it comes to theif they are much better than sprites |
for tany:
good info but wrong at same time. Poisoners DO NOT cost 70000 gold. They cost just under 25k. |
As a DE player, I agree with posts 13 & 14 that poisoners are most suitable for taking enemy retaliation for rogues and especially liz cavalry (based on initiative, liz comes after poisoners in de faction)to attack safely. In addition, you will find in some situations the extra 1 damage (+ poison would be 2) it does can just knock of that extra unit that survived your hero's direct attack/ magic spell.
However, if you are talking about overall versatility of units, sprites would be better units, since they have a larger spectrum of abilities, along with good speed and initiative.
Remember each of these units are of different factions (duh), so they serve their own purposes. |
ok ill answer this one.
The answer is simple, Yes and No.
For long hunts sprites are better but in PvP poisoners are better.
Reasons: Sprites with broad attack, No retal and there int mean they are good for hit and run. Where as in PvP they die to easy due to low HP.
Poisoners on other hand in hunts are next to useless apart from taking retallation for lizards to hit. Whereas in PvP they can poison stacks with huge poison damage and still take retal for lizards. |
seeing ur post after long time masterTI
btw he is right but even if it is metioned that poisoners are good in pvp
its better u take 3 or 4 poisoners and divide them into 3 or 4 stacks and not 7 which is the max no possible at level 5 as this reduces ur rouge count making players target ur liz cavalry instead |
