Skeleton Archer or Legionnaire



AuthorSkeleton Archer or Legionnaire
When i started with the necromancer class i quickly realised just how horrible the basic zombies are, they are too slow, their damage output is weak, the only good thing they have is their decent health pool so i decided to ignore zombies in favour of skeletons who despite not being tanky have greater numbers, steady damage and are not slow, and i want to upgrade them but im not entirely sure which of the two upgrade variants are better.

Archers would give me a ranged unit for sure, that is ideal, however then again the legionnaires get a very good damage upgrade, making them even more reliable as both a unit to attack with but also to provide cover from ranged units. Whats the best option?
You just need to upgrade them once as it's same faction.

However you can't use them at same time as there are part of different class, you would need to switch class to use other type of upgrade.

Note: Talents, racial ability, recruitment counts differs between classes.


Apart from that, you can use this search in daily to see how others are playing at your level

These are fights from last minor (dual/ 1v1 ) tournament winner, you can take it as reference for army and talents for your fights.

Is there a english version? I dont quite understand whats written on the website.
Unfortunately it's not available in english, try using translator for it.

If you click on link with (date and time) in 2nd column (Дата) it should take you to battle statistics. One you open stats, you would see another link with date and time which would open battle in .ru site.
On Chrome, right-click->"Translate to English" works pretty well.
Archers are the core of classic necromancer, one of the best shooter stack because it has the health to tank enemy shots and still kill them afterwards.

Legionnaires are fine at your level but for unholy it will quickly become a weak stack. Once you unlock better units you will drop them in favour of others and keep maybe a few ones for the shielding ability. At high level the recruit count is just too low for them to be good and instead unholy will rely on polter's steal arrow ability as well as high speed flyers and the ATB bump to rush and block the shooters.

Unholy is all in melee and more rushy, classic is more balanced, slow and sturdy. I like unholy gameplay more but there's no reason to not try both playstyle.
