Luminark of Hysh, how does it work?

[Don Cool]

I was doing a quest battle and brought one to kill their hero as suggested on youtube by someone.

Worked like a charm in the battle but then I forgot all about it and carried on fighting, to my amazement it had 500 kills when the battle was over. The most any other unit had was about a bit over 100 kills, I thought the Luminark was single target weapon.

It is the one you get from the "reknown" recruitment, but I dont think its that much different from the original.

It had both amazing single target damage as well as high splash damage making it the most deadly projectile in the game.

It's offset by a very large reload time though.

Yeah, never brought it along before ... I didn´t think it had any splash damage. Thought it was exclusively to kill single targets. It´s absolutely deadly even the high reload time not to talk about how easy it is to take a hero out. Going to use it a lot more, thats for sure.

you can hover you mouse over the damage bar in the unit sheet and it will tell you if it has explosion damage and how much damage said explosion does. just an fyi

Yeah, it basically will penetrate through rank and file troopers, taking out ten or twenty at a time if the conditions are right. Then don't forget its special abilities. It has a Net-type ability as well as a thing that speeds up the recharge of special abilities in a radius. I like to put mine near artillary pieces and a mage with Fire or Heavens lores with Mana Conduit.

The kill counts sometimes get skewed and are completely inaccurate in the post battle map screen because somehow it calculates kills scored in pursuit after you've won, and whatever methodology the game uses is terrible. If the luminark actually got 500 kills in battle, then it probably comes down to the AI clumping, a lot. As others have mentioned it actually has pretty potent splash damage.

It did, it continues do so, I posted a picture in my profile ... dont know how to link it here. I still only have the "reknown" one, maybe it´s special.

This - hit an infantry unit at the right angle and it'll plough right through them.

The net's just on the Templehof Luminark, the Regiment of Renown version.

Single target high damage ammo with slow reload. Perfect for killing lords or big monsters. Probably the best unit in the game at killing Mortis Engines.
