Best units for Skirmish?

[Honorable_D]

So what do you think are the 4 best army units to use? I've got 1 sword, 1 hammer, 1 spear and then 1 ranged unit. I'm getting by, but not super easily.

Any good units worth leveling up out there?

Depend on the army squads; sword > hammer > spear > sword etc.

I tried using the one with incineraptor but it is quite ♥♥♥♥. It dies in seconds. Right now I'm using one unity with attack up, one with enemy attack down and yo ho ho with her charm ability - which is super usefull if you get cought by several units, to charm them and easly back up to heal and regroup. I don't remember what I had for fourth squad.

And I'm using 1 spear, 1 hammer, 1 sword, 1 mage/ranged. For 90% of battles it is the best way of playing in my opinion.

Also I like Gart use 1 spear, 1 hammer or 1 mage / ranged.
In this way I destroy every enemy without any difficulty. ^^

The army I use:

Yung Mein (Spears), Phorkys (Hammers), Speio (Magic) and Grimm (Swords).

I steam rolled a level 51 skirmish with this army between the levels of 28 and 34.

Speio is too cute to not use, so I replaced Bai Gon with Phorkys to have my preffered active skil set up.



If you want the best Spear, Sword, Hammer, Archer army, here it is in my opinion.

Yung Mein (Spears): Boosts Archer Damage
Active Skill: Lower Defence of Enemy in front of you (cost 150)

Bai Gon (Hammer): Might Guage fills faster
Active Skill: Raise Army Defence (cost 150)

Muriel (Archer): Her unit can revive its self once per battle
Active Skill: Lower Attack of Enemy in front of you (cost 150)

Grimm (Sword): Destorying siege towers, cannons and posts will heal him.
Active Skill: Raise Army Attack (cost 150)

1 shield and 3 ranged. Helena and Min Ti for the 2 ranged is nice since they have enhance/boost ranged allies damage passive.

Tip: Lancer unit is the best in every skirmish enemies usually always have Swordsman Unit.

Hmm, I was going sorta for a balanced build but I might look into a ranged heavy build and see how that goes.

Lancers are pretty good, but your choices with them aren't so awesome for abilities

As for abilities

Airship / Laser = bad
Tower (cannon/arrow) = mediocre
Charm = mediocre (way to short term)
Shock = decent, stuns enemies for a couple seconds
Stat increase ups = massively good, huge buffs to units
Summon dragon (interceptor) = god tier... not only tanks enemies, lasts for 2-3 minutes before timing out. Can hold out vs most enemies


I use

Hammer - guy with the increase hammer damage
Hammer
Spear - Summons dragon (which is awesome)
Sword -

Have

Shock enemies (short stun)
Might up (massive damage increase)
Shield up (massive defense increase)
Summon dragon (massively powerful tank unit)

Could someone confirm if Yung Mei passive really increase archer damage? Because the spanish translation says it increase SPEAR damage.

i for my part dont see the value in the rock paper scissor units.. the only reason i ever use them is because i like the character leading the army and i wanna share some love that way.. but my core army is just 1 shield to defend, and 3 ranged to rain death on the enemies... in general, any shield unit would work infront. but Callianeira gets dragon so she kinda trumps the others..

Howling Hunters riflemen can replace one of the ranged units.. especially earlier in the game.. but lategame i'd think she replace speio.. especially on maps where you fight downhill or areas with lotsa hilly points you can take advantage of highground.. (drylands)

Now, while i found this formation strong, and not with any weakness that regular rock paper scissor melee units would have.. its also kinda boring... i just havent decided if i think i find it boring cause my strategy is so straight forward brainless to execute.. or because theres not enough meat to this part of the game

I like fast might gauge recovery. Waaa! Attack!

I'm using the shield unit that adds to range unit dmg, a sword unit that adds to range unit dmg, and 2 range units that add range unit dmg works pretty good

really? the tutorials just say sword<spear<hammer<sword... shield isn't mentioned.. and i havent had any problems with hammers against my army, they die just as fast as everything else.. exept enemy shields.. they take a while :)

In battle you get red and blue arrows. If you get a red arrow pointing on your unit it means it is weak against the unit attacking it ^^ Shield gets a red arrow from hammers, so yepp, they are ^^
