In my fights, I attack him with devils, efreets and sharps, he keeps casting blind or slow for the whole fight, which I invalidate with cure. Never got him to cast implosion, would be interesting to know what you do differently to have him cast it.

Brought only that to battle (no Genies). First he casts Shield / Fire Shield on all his units, then starts imploding.

Anyway, why did you give hero a spell he's not supposed to use?

I want them to use all the spells I give, but also we can avoid that by different tactics. Is AI, you know. If your devils already have attack/return, he will try to blind them every turn. If you already have air upgrade (+100% HP), he will never cast implosion, as he "think" it kills too little.

I would suggest letting him shield and then fire shield 1 or 2 units after that dispel, he will restart doing the shield cycle, fire shield etc.. skipping Implosion

I remember that I used genies, sometimes split in 4 stacks, up to Rissa (when you learn frenzy and anti-magic, among few others), give or take a few battles. They proved quite handy.

Right, they redo the cycle if dispel.

Maybe he casts it because I now have too many upgrades? Took both attack & return and immunity to 1-3
No chance for HP bonus or expert water, though. For some reason I can't dispel anything from his units with basic skill :?

That was a must for Damacon. But few boosts won't change much, at best I get temporary anti-magic.

Well if you already have Immunity 3 against Jeagar (that fast?) then it is natural that he can't cast Blind and Slow like Sal said anyway, so I guess it's your fault then !!

Yes man, don't play too well then complain. Anyway, the library near town is not for decoration, it holds two of the skills you MUST get early game, water and intelligence. Without expert cure and enough mana, very hard then.

But it is you who said immunity should be the first thing to get before Damacon . I would not consider it otherwise.

And the university is quite off-way and guarded, not easy to get that early.

You can get it day 9-10, 2 devils, 2 archdevils and a few shooters, expert earth. I don't take the third town without expert water, or I lose too many of them-in utopias also works better early. For me the abilities are best this order: attack&return, reduce defense, then immunity 1-3. The first is a must, "reduce defense" greatly reduces battle length which means less deadly spells by AI.

No, I said immunity is good with Gerwulf. Actually Damacon can be fought without any ability.

But the pit lords ability on dogs is highly recommendable!

yes but his location changed 2 squares on right = terrain allows to protect right bottom. Only 21k devils? There are many seer huts giving imps at that point.

Had a day off, so started again. You were right, Salamandre - game is much easier and even smoother with these skills in first place. Also, I got good luck.

Well... week 4



My progress



Later this day... I was veyr lucky, Blood Dragons are easiest enemies

Next week got +10 to all stats. Jaerag took lots of time, but finally died to that force. Flawless victory!



Gerwulf was very tough, but I finally drained his archers and won 3-2-2.

Two days later, Olema. Very easy, won at first try.



Next week... Ajit? With 130 ADs only? Sounds scary.

I am afraid Ajit with 130 devils and no fearless is suicide. Depends also on your resurrect ratio. One fear and is over.

Hehee, good job, had armorer too I suppose.

Playing MoE now, and decided to not reload for bonuses. And as always, when you are fair and honest, you end stupid: second bonus: orb, third bonus: orb (yet I could prevent it by moving the orb on the hero ready to level, but I thought was unlikely.) Now let's see how I deal with Rissa with 2 orbs.

What happen if I let a Hero who already has Secondary Skills to test the seed of the week? For example the bonus of the week is SS, but Hero A already has it so it changes into something else, like Mithril, so does the bonus of the week now become all Mithril ?!
