| Author | Tactics versus necros? |
|---|
I'm a lowly level 4 elf, admittedly a newbie. Still, I get my elven butt handed to me every time I try and duel a necro. Their ability to raise dead troops makes it near impossible for me to win.
I'm obviously missing something. My question is... what? |
The necro can not rezz his troops when you are stepping on them with one of your units.
Its also better to kill a necro stack completely, if the necro rezzes his troops they have still 1 turn to wait until they can attack.
Ghosts have their special miss ability, whats a bit tricky. Just try to get 2 misses on the main gost stack, then attack it with the forest keeper and step on them with another unit. After this, the rest should be a piece of cake since the zombies are very slow and skeletons only have low hp. |
| Thanks Lyrill. So if I kill a stack completely and park a stack on mine on it before the necros turn, he can't rezz them? What if the stack I have parked on top dies? |
| for Hoth: Then they can raise again .. ^^ Set fav enemies to Ghosts .. that is a must for ur level against necros .. :) |
add:
Okay, just watched your last fight against a nacro.
1. Retaliation: You should split your troops, you only have 1 fk stack, whats quite bad. split them in 1 large stack and 2 or 3 stacks with only 1 unit. Every unit from the enely only has got one retaliation every turn. So if you attack the ghost stac with a small stack of fk, your large stack will not suffer from the retaliastion from 10+ ghosts.
you had bad luck in your combats, that the necro sorcerer was a bit before the ghosts in the atb-bar, so he can easily raise his ghosts without you having the possibility to step on them.
Something also very useful against necros is to have 3 stacks of faeries with only 1 unit. Best way to force 2 misses on the ghosts, because they are very fast and have no enemy retaliation :). |
| shoot ghost first with elvens, split them into 4 stacks .. :) then u can kill them faster .. that should be not hard to kill necros at ur level with elves .. add luck is a good choice and + 1 morale with ring .. :) |
| Thanks for the tips guys- now for me to go dig up a necro to try them out on :) |
| Just to report back, with your ips I finally beat a necro! Thanks! |
| Make that 2 in a row :) |
Set fav enemies to Ghosts
No... set them to zombs. it's better :P |
| Magic is also 100% hit on ghosts, and be aware that whenever ghosts, zombies, skels or vamps are re-raised, they becoming more and more weaker and easier to hit. |
Magic is also 100% hit on ghosts
not true... magic punch can miss |
| elemental magic will hit always (beside it resets the hit miss counter), magic punch deal physical dmg. |
