Which path do you go for assigning skill points to lords?

[Scar]

As much as I like to buff my lords combat skills, I've considered going down the route to buff my troops, which do you guys say is worth going for?

Lotsa players go down blue skills for lightning strike, cuz it’s op.

Personally I like to stick to Yellow and use Red as my filler (barring the boost to campaign movement, that’s a must). But that’s how I have my fun.

What lord in particular? Because that really decides how I skill them.

Right now I'm playing as miao ying, just thought I'd see if I should be doing something else.

If you're playing a campaign difficulty of hard and under it doesn't really matter. If you're playing on VH campaign the AI tend to roll around with more armies and dealing with that early on is annoying so I prioritize getting lightning strike as early as I can on my main armies so I can deal with multiple stacks without having to micro a lot.

I almost always go blue tree line first. For upkeep reduction and movement on the map.

At lvl 14 I'll fill in the special personal skills a legendary lord has.

Then I fill in the red tree line. (I always get the +75 exp per turn at lvl 2) Buffing up the army unit's you intend to use is a far bigger power amplifier then a single +7 armour on your lord.

No, I hardly if ever pick mage lords as my starting LL, I dislike using pure mages as a general. I use a hero for casting.

Personally I would put points into her healing spells and the rest into melee, and obviously grabbing her unique skills when available.

The reason is I prefer her in dragon form for her mobility and melee power. Most of her spells I don't find very useful, so I usually put an alchemist in the army as a dedicated mage.

thanks I do tend to enjoy her missile mirror just wish it was for more than a single unit.

Blue ones. Upkeep nad replenishment mostly as soon as i can. Then Red Line and Finally Yellow.

Blue line used to be my go to - but I think it's better to get some of the Powerful yellow or red line skills if you're on an increased battle difficulty like hard or Vhard.

Always blue line first, any lord, any faction. Lighting Strike saves lives.

You can effectively destroy 4 armys at once. More if you get lucky on the post battle capture's for unit replenish.

Thanks, I'll keep all your ideas in mind.
