I don’t get the point of the “ignoring attack” ability in this game. Abilities like resistance to elements or ignoring defense make sense, but ignoring attack? It’s just broken.
Take Nixian Warriors, for example. With a 30% chance to ignore attack, they’re an absolute pain to deal with—especially in pirate events. Pirates already have insanely high attack stats, so the best strategy is to rely on strong offensive troops. But when your attacks just get ignored, it feels like all logic and strategy go out the window. It’s basically like giving these troops an absurdly high defense without actually calling it defense. It’s unfair and ruins the balance.
This ability shouldn’t exist. It doesn’t add anything good to the game and just makes certain battles ridiculously frustrating. What’s the point of even building attack stats when this exists? |
With a 30% chance to ignore attack
I'm pretty sure it's not a 30% chance to ignore an attack but the attack stat of the attacking stack is reduced by 30% (at least the description says so).

Sort of, except it scales.
they’re an absolute pain to deal with
Yep.

I don't there's anything wrong with the ability itself, though nixes often do come in crazy big stacks. |
Sorry I meant 30% ignoring attack
Wrote chance by mistake |
for Ulmo:
This ability doesn’t feel like a unique or meaningful addition to the game. It’s not something that’s enjoyable to use or face. When you’re up against it, there’s no real way to play around it—your only options are to rely on extremely high attack or use troops with ignoring defense to counter it. It limits strategy and feels poorly designed overall. |
| for Elden Lord: in the pirate event i used charmer to kill em with hero lightnings. just ignore them kill everything else and defend with cannons while lightning kills em. they dont do insane damage like all the rest of pirate units |
for slayerofall:
To be Honest they were the only example I have in mind
But I was aiming to talk about the ability itself regardless |
The ability shouldn't exist.
But also.
It doesn't exist outside of the Pirates event?
It's not part of every day game play. Just something added to make some events more interesting.
It exists for the same reason that full metal and reactive armor exist, to make games more interesting, and forces you to find a way around it. Otherwise you'd just max attack and kill everything without much thought. |
