the most over-powered builds possible *CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS*

*DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR MIND TO BE CORRUPTED BY THE MOST POWERFUL BUILDS, IF YOU ENJOY JUST BEING A NEWBIE AND HAVING A GOOD OLE' FASHION CHALLENGE*

1. the dusk-witch, you double cast a tier 4 spell, such as fear of the dark, this spell targets every possible enemy on the battlefield regardless of their distance from you, you stack as much power and crit as you possibly can, you stack as much initiative as you possibly can so you move first before the monsters in any battle = you wipe any amount of monsters on the screen in under 10 seconds, unless they are vastly higher level than you have major hit-points, then you wipe them in a couple of rounds, providing that you don't die on the first round.

2. the warlord, you cap nephilim get the twilight pulse, then you grab burning, leech, bleeding, and taunt. they synergize with the twilight pulse, you run up to any group, you burst your AOE 2nd skill, then you get a 2nd burst of aoe from the twilight pulse and you heal up any damage you previously took. you can basically stand there, let them come to you, and just auto-beat them. but you need to stack enough physical resist and hit-points and minor inconvenience immunities to get the most out of it. you might want to sidelines a war-priestess so you get +50% heal rate.

i admit i've been using this 2nd build in liberation mode, since i'm not at tier 4 yet, and i'm having no problem soloing any encounter with no companions and no hired units, just avyanna and her overpowered build.

i don't mind being overpowered, nothing wrong with that. but there should be increased challenge to meet this. if i'm overpowered i need the majority of the opponents to be 10 levels higher than me. if i'm in liberation mode and i have 10 companions at once, i need the opponents to be 15 levels higher for any kind of respectable challenge.

i really like this game having a good time with it. its a pleasure to watch these beautifully rendered units fight it out, but i need the game to be more challenging if its going to hold my attention for months to come.

aside from the over-powered builds that you can get combining the warlord taunt and the nephilim twilight pulse, there needs to be more tech tree options. there are not enough choices to really make the character build unique. so few choices lead to the same builds with hardly any variance. i hope this gets addressed ASAP

avyanna solo mode is too strong, i have to nerf her just to get a challenge,

What is her "solo mode"?

avyanna doesnt need help from pesky companions they just get in the way of her steam-rolling everything

orion charges in becomes invisible but doesnt attack because he only has 2 action points, avyanna runs in takes out 2-3 units, by the time orion is ready to attack, avyanna has the rest of the group cornered and on the ropes..

I'm very new to the game, when you say grab burning, leech, bleeding and taunt. What do you mean? I can't find those as skills or spells.

there are items in the tech tree of warlord,
Flaming Burst Weapon, avyannas abilities inflict burning,
Vampiric Might, avyannas abilities inflict bleeding
Taunting Strike, avyannas abilities inflict taunting

And here I thought Twilight Seer, doublecast and Eclipse was mighty OP already :D Where can I find Fear in the Dark?

eclipse is pretty decent, i have to admit that, but its not super elite like Fear of the Dark. eclipse does a radius 2 centered around your caster, fear of dark is board-wide. sadly i forgot where i found this spell, its an end-game spell. there is one other alternative end-game spell that does holy damage and unholy damage both to everything board-wide and it heals your team too, all in one.. but i forgot what the name of it was. its tier 4.

It's Evenfall and actually does more damage than Fear of the Dark often as it does unholy and divine. I think you get it after defeating Mortis.

Another option before that is Meteor as it has a wider aoe than Eclipse. Cannot remember when I got it but it is the earliest OP spell you can cast. For bosses I found Divine Strike was the best.

I believe that Holy damage is the strongest cap you can get. 20% from Vanilayda weapon, 25% from backline archimage and you could always buff youself for another 25%. So thats a 70% holy damage increase. Sadly on the holy spells there arent spells that do pure divine in area, except for evenfall and twilight.
