Squire/Countess

[Same]

Is Squire/Countess just a really bad class? I just recently reset my ranked file and started with a Countess, and I can't even get past the second map because his defenses are so bad, that they can't hold off the last wave while I'm running around trying to take things out. Or is easy the intended difficulty for fress characters instead of medium?

from my understanding of the game, the squire/countess is supposed to be unable to complete the second map first try as other characters too such as the huntress and monk, im almost possitive the wizard is the only character where you dont need to replay any levels or play with a friend to any said map first try

Monk, Apprentice, Jester, I've completed the game with all of these alone. Series EV only had an issue with fliers.

Squire towers are the easiest to solo campaign with . . .

You should be easily able to complete the game up to insane with just the squire I think. I used him myself for the first playthrough and only ever started using the other builder for insane/NM. Maybe after you fail a few times you can use your leveled hero to put point into tower stats to help you and you'll probably find some gear while you're at it.

Really? The fire rate on the balistae or whatever you call it seems really slow, do I just need to raise it? It doesn't seem to kill the small enemies fast enough.

you should be able to easily do it. just build at the area by the crystal, once the ogre comes, kite it around while the harpoons kill it. place a extra spike wall for kobolds to run into so they dont ruin everything else.

I guess I just need to think differently on how I place the towers. With other classes I would just defend the entrances where they spawned basically, but maybe I need ot centralize my towers rather than spread them out.

Want me to show you my ballista's? lol

Squire rate doesn't scale as well as Apprentice, but the harpoons pierce multiple enemies. You can use that to your advantage when you place them.

Countess is by far the EASIEST hero to solo with and will stand everything way beyond hard diffculty; the only issue i see is bosses and you're nowhere near that yet. You may be leveling him/ her wrong. Remember that making a hybrid character is the worst mistake you can make and focus on the tstats rather than hero ones.
