Suppose the opponents are standing as shown(- represent enemy)

Is there a way to attack so that dreadbanes deal the damage to the 4 units linked together that we want?
1 more case
------
Dreadbanes attack the second last creature, then will the attack go towards right or left?
Here is my one of combat where dreadbanes ignored 4 enemy link and attack 2 enemy.

| That's weird, in your combat the "nearest" enemy was the one you wanted to strike, above behemoth. Because large creatures are assumed to have the top left tile for distance calculations. Maybe the chain follows the closest enemy to Dreadbanes ? |
| That's what I assumed |
| did u hit on 11:5 or 11:6? i assume the ability considers only one of the four squares a large creature takes, therefore if u naturally clicked on 11:6 without thinking the link with the creatures above the behemoth was broken. |
| Just like dragonic breath, I clicked on 11:5. |
| i see. guess then the only explanation is that it hits whatever is closest to the dreadbanes. mext time ust try to hits the shrews :) |
It seems the assumption(Maybe the chain follows the closest enemy to Dreadbanes ) is wrong too!
My recent battle explais it:

ok that leaves us with two possibilities.
1) its randomly chosen(very unlikely however)
2) the more likely possibility, when striking a large creature, the creature farthest from the square u click is targeted. for eg. in ur first battle, u clicked on 11:5, which is farther from the orcs so the orcs were attacked, however, this one, u attacked 11:7 which was farther from the temptresses, thats why they were attacked. |
| to be honest i myself am very confused now xD i dont understand anything about it now :D admins should make it clearer. |
| It's random. |
It's random.

here is similar example of example 1 where i attacked large creature in a dragonic breath fashion:
This time result is opposite.

This proves, dreadbane's attack is random? |
for randomr1:
Dwarf: 0 (18.47) +1.5
Maybe I know a bit more about dwarf , coz I have played that faction a little bit more then you.
for bheem:

| well, i think it is random too, but the i never really pay much atention to it :D i just click and hope for the best :P |
@ayush20
lol i was just agreeing with you. if u read my last post i said it being random is also a possibility and i know u r an experienced dwarf, dont misunderstand me. :) |
I don't know anything about dwarf but I doubt if its random..I mean, if it's a technical part of the game, there must be some sequence that the attack must obey and follow..just like the lightning tower has a pattern.
I'm just guessing though. As I said, no idea about dwarves. |
well @narutoayan
when sprites or efk deal critical dmg its random who gets the bonus attack, there r many things which r random. yes, i agree its unlikely but still possible. |
it seems to me that it works like chain lightnin: from the starting point xx:yy, when enemies are at equivalent distance (for large creature, it counts not top left, but the 4 squares, so an enemy beside the bottom right corner is still closer than one 1 tile away from top left) preference ought to run like this:
xx:(yy-1)
(xx+1):yy
xx:(yy+1)
(xx-1):yy
try it and see if it needs adjustments :) |

About sprites, nah, we can choose who 3 to attack, just that they need to be together.
Efk, everyone is attacked.
Indeed, luck and critical etc. are luck based, but they are not as technical as things like the dreadbane attack, which is a part of the game strategy. So I doubt that it would be random. |
@19
i didnt mean that. u know when u hv critical dmg and u are attacking three stack, only one gets the critical double dmg right? thats random.
@18 no clue bro, i would guess thats not right though but no clue. |
