Unit possession - advanced course

Preface

This guide will describe how to properly possession units, taking into account all the game mechanics.

Theory

Fundamentals of game mechanics.

This section contains only the theory (albeit important), if you want to go directly to the practice - click on the appropriate entry in the navigation bar.

1. Blocks

   What is impact block? The most obvious that comes to mind is block a sword blow with a shield. But it's not that simple.
   Different units have different parts, when hit on which the damage will not be. For example the minotaur's horns, the farmer forks, etc.
   
   I draw your attention to the fact that some units inflict “super-strong” attacks, which are almost impossible to block, because they just crush the opponent.
   Quite a few units have penetrative attacks: stoner, bone mage, mammoth, wilbarow (conditionally, since it does not cause damage), ballista (standard, pierces through most of the units), zeus (lightning passes through blocks and through their textures), fire archer, monk, ninja (conditionally, due to the speed of attack), dragon, hwacha (conditionally, depends on the number of hits), executioner, taekwondo, Vlad, wilbarou dragon, cavalry, samurai giant, sensei (conditionally, due to attack speed), three giant , ice giant, artemis (conditionally, due to speed attacks).
   By the way, the attack of the harvester is not penetrative, it was unexpected even for me.
   

2. Attack acceleration (no cheerleaders!)

   Game mechanics allows you to turn on the berserker mode, causing attacks without interruption. How it works?
   It's simple - you need to do damage. More damage in one hit - will be able to inflict the next blow faster. It's hard to believe, but this ability is in all units, just not everyone can implement it normally.

3. Attacks

   It seems that everything is simple: press the left/right click => hit. But the mechanics strike a different.
   Each unit has delay before the attack. There is a certain timer of drawing blow which is considered from pressing of the button of hit to the actual realization of this hit by unit.
   In order to properly learn how to attack you just need to get used to a specific timer. But when it comes to opponents everything becomes more interesting.
   Opponents also present this timer. Of course it is always calculated perfectly, you can play on this knowledge.
   Knowing what the attack timer of the enemy unit can be their “sudden” maneuver easily evade attack.
   In the screenshot below, enemy squire began to strike at us. You see that? I'm not.. But he “pressed the left click” at this moment.
   

4. Evasion

   Finally, you can know about evasion! This is the most important part of the manual.
   In most evasion you need to use not only the keys, but also the mouse.
   

   • Long-range attack Evasion

     It's simple, you need to guess the shot of the enemy and change the trajectory (if you stand still, you need to perform “the usual steps from side to side”).
     If the opponent is serious - used his ability to “serious steps from side to side.”
     
     Opponent a lot - will have to follow all the attacks. Too much to keep track of? Move in zigzags and hope for a miracle.
     You're probably doing something wrong if you can't keep track of all the attacks. If you build the right enemy “shooters”, then keep track of 20+ can be easy.
     

   • Melee evasion

     The simplest thing is the usual step aside. After all, we know at what point to do it from the theory of part 3.
     In most fights steps aside will not be enough, and the enemy will easily overtake us. So it's time to learn about the super-ability: “serious walking in a circle.” This is perhaps the most powerful skill in the game, learning that you can destroy entire armies alone. You just have to learn the right way around, no matter how stupid it sounds.
     

5. Attack at a distance

   The mechanics of the attack of units with a ranged attack is that the shot is still there where should be the enemy (predict fire). It is very important to understand!
   The video is not a bug, but a feature:
   

Practice

It's time to start practical training (you've read the theory?).
Definitely need to comply with the terms of the battle. We then learn in the end, not just fighting to win.
Pay attention, using features/bugs of the maps is forbidden!
