Poison is a good alternative against annoying shrews. At SP 2, the spell do 24 dmg with something around duration 2. It's the best combination to defeat a DE thief beside escort :D.
Btw, did someone try enfeeble at lvl > 11? Does it apply when hero do the escort strike? |
well, this is old combat log from me - https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?lt=-1&warid=6564509
if you are interest on know how well can poison work on kill might DE which was hated by any other faction. |
| Which is better? Recruits or bowmen? for 2 last fights, I found recruits are very useful, since they have almost twice HP (totally) and can stun and less targeted? |
are you referring to pvp or pve?
if pve, i wouldnt move out of bowmen, because AI would target griffin with ranged and recruits with melee.. whinch is worse than having the enemy "focus" on bowmen thus leaving your griffins unharmed long enough for them to reach AI shooters |
| wrong, if you had long enough hunts, you should know AI is dumb. they will always go to bowmen rather than griffin :) |
exactly, if i *don't* have bowmen, they target griffins.
So far i know this,AI target in this order bowman>recruits>griffins>monks>swordsman.
recruit only if they are in high number enough ( i know they are before griffins because when i tried vitality with full recruit and 0 bowman they targeted recruit first and griffins second) |
i thought that they always go for
1. shooters
2. ini
3. high stacks |
i'm positive that they go for recruits before griffins if both are within melee reach, if they shoot on griffins or recruit first i don't remember.
it can't be ini/stack because from hunt assist i know for sure that between vampires and griffins they go for vampires, that are both less than griffins and with lower initiative |
Hiya fellow knights,
Just wanted to share that I got my TG4 yesterday (simply ecstatic about it!), a little more than 1 month since I started thieving. I did most of my TG3 and TG4 at lvl 9, which was supposedly a pretty hard lvl for ambushing.
Hope that this is a form of encouragement to all knights that it CAN be done, and not as 'hard' or 'impossible' like some have made it out to be. I have seen many switch factions coz of it. Knights are a rare species in Lordswm already, and I hope this will help to encourage fellow knights not to jump camp, so to speak. :)
If u face some thugs in a back alley, and they are attacking you, do you tell them: "Wait, wait, lemme go home and ask some friends to take my place and then we fight, ok?". haha.. :p
Hard? impossible? No, it's called a challenge, and knights are renown to be brave, fearless and strong in the face of adversity, no? heh.. :p
As a famous slogan goes - Just Do It ! :)
Go knights! :) |
| to Pang: you can that fight even without poison. You just weaker stacks with poisoning and then kill by crossbowmen. But there is no difference if stack has 200 or 300 HP, crossbowmen deal enough damage to kill it anyway... |

i am knight, i am brave, fearless and strong in the face of adversity, but will make thiev quests at lvl 10 as a demon)) |
What would be a good talent combination for lvl8?
-Escort, Basic Leadership, Rally
-Escort, Advance Luck
-Escort, Basic Darkness Magic, Fallen Knight
(these are only some examples, not neccessarily best)
I was wondering whether the last one was useful. I've read the posts about poisoning above but let's put it this way:
3 turns for 40damage(i have 1 sp (+5) and 2kn)= 120 damage.
Still, there maybe better combinations. What your opinions, fellow knights? |
1092
Same thing that I was wondering, but more to which talents are good for TG. Im almost at TG2 but the past has thought me talents really influence my play. Tried most combinations, even using these:
Basic fortune, Resistance, Escort
Basic defence, barrier, basic fortune
If you realised, these are more to anti-magic, which I seem to always lose against. Anyone out there with a proper talent setup than the 2 here and 3 in the post above? |
| i'm having a blast with battle fury + basic leadership at level 8 ( plus morale rings/necklace to reach morale 5) |
for arcanyx:
For ambushing at lvl 8, really shouldn't leave out Escort.
The rest depends on your tactics and style of play, but I find Battle Fury + Basic Defense useful since the majority of the battle involves melee for your Swords and Griffins.
As the saying goes - You live and die by your Swords. :) |
1093
you dont need resistance nor barrier once the caravan grow bigger. just use the cape of air while leave the talent point to better usage
1092
there are reasons on less example on dark magic build.
dark magic is pretty useless in non-pvp which was the main exp source for you before certain lv archived. i only use dark spell in some hunts.
fallen knight need 1 morale as the cost to get 5 Sp. losing 1 morale is dangerous for knight due to low ini. on other word, fallen knight seldom applied in min ap fight too.
in your case, you try to either use poison as main source of dmg (high Sp) or weaken the enemy (low Sp). poison doesnt work on nerco, less effective on nerco and wiz too. so, poison build should be think wisely as it is all about what opponents u going to face.
counter spell is another problem, you can spend 4 mana to delay 1 stack but enemy can spend 4 mana to kill your delay and rapid the stack in the same time. so, your hero on ATB is another factor to be success for dark spell build. |
| Thanks for the replies. So what would be a good talent combination for lvl 8 then? I think escort seems to be a good one to include, so what about the other 20 points? |
If you are might and believe in offense:
Basic offense+battle fury/cold blade
If you think morale and luck is most useful things so:
Basic fortune+advanced leadership
Basic fortune+Basic leadership+rally
If you also wear an amulet of luck then luck would be +2 and will give better results.
For ambushing:
Any one of the above but knight's troops have low initiative so defense would be good.
And expert defense is working for me in ambushing.
In magic:
Better use holy magic:for that:expert holy magic with atleast 2sp and knowledge would be good |
Hey guys!
I can never seem to beat a demon player in an ambush. Their troops always get the jump on me. This is the latest example:
https://www.lordswm.com/warlog.php?warid=481812955
We were in both in full arts and he beat me. Any tips on how to handle these guys? |

It's much easier when you have the best arts for your level; you should look something like 25-20-2-2 and the xbows all together since you were the ambusher and the enemy troops more rapid than yours imo. Also escort help a lot in ambush. Spare some gold for the best arts and you'll see the difference :). |
