The unseelie are ridiculous

[Swimmyx]

I bought the game during summer sale and have enjoyed it so far. Most of the factions are reasonable . But then the difficulty spike as soon as I get to these guys. Ridiculous amounts of damage, displacements, CC, invulnerability, and stun locks, and giant mobs..Giant mobs are usually balanced around the idea they are expendable weak units. Nope. Not here.

They definitely are my least favorite faction to go against. Some of the missions do feel a little ridiculous with how many resources they have. Especially when they get the teleport gates to make more units. For the most part they aren't too bad but when they are bad, they are downright nasty.

Half the treads here are complaining the game is too easy- granted they just started. The other half are complaining about the game being too difficult or ridiculous or impossible. Maybe learn to look up some strategies or tactics online on how to setup an optimum party and then come back and start posting how you steamrolled this game on very hard.

The Sidhe are the toughest group of enemies in the main campaign. The Fogknights are the ones I hate because when they die, they burst and freeze nearby units.

The game certainly has some tough missions and encounters but difficulty is often going to be really subjective to playstyle and the characters you bring/what skills you gave them, and by nature of the game, what units you have available for x mission.

That being said if youre getting destroyed by a certain mission or encounter try going back to re-evaluate your team and what gear/skills they have. Can you get any helpful Castle upgrades? Potions? Skill points etc. Beyond that it can be helpful to consider how you can reduce the damage youre taking in fights and how much youre dealing each round. Especially against the seelie/unseelie if youre above normal then you need kill, cc, be far enough they cant hit you, or make sure theyre hitting a target you know can withstand the hits. (Preferably in that order)

Also might be helpful to look at your mortality and what units you're getting in addition to bonus'. Its a lot easier to recommend a solid cc heavy team for a tyrant old faith run for example.

Unseelie ARE indeed the most difficult faction to fight due to their numbers and amounts of controling effects they inflict. They are in fact more difficult then Fomorians somehow, the big bads of the game and setting.
And my main problem is not even with fog knights and winter witches. Athey are not half as bad. The main culprint are those axe throwing changelings that come in large numbers and cause so much stun in a siggle turn that it is not even fun.

Ppl rant about all over the place difficulty because it is ! Normal and below is just ridiculously easy up to end of Act2, then Hard or above is way to hard on Sidhe mission in Act3 ...If at least it was the other way round it'll be berable, but you can't ask ppl to bump up/down difficulty every act because designers and testers didn't do their balance job...

Earth Shaker works great on Fogbringers. And it's very satisfying to kill two at once and freeze a couple other enemies at the same time.

People usually come to the forums to rant, ask questions, or beg the devs for changes.

This is a rant thread. The Unseelie are ridiculous. Game needs to be fixed.

Agreed. Ranged/AOE is great. I think Merlin's illusions are really great for keeping them away from your team.
