Boomerang Blader

[drakonfire]

Description: a fast low powered hit and run unit meant to weaken or finish off spell casters or other low HP units from a distance

Movement range: 3
attack range: 4
Power: 13
Blocking: 60% (30% on sides)
Armor: 16%
HP: 35
Recovery time: 1 turn


attack pattern: Attacks a single unit up to 4 tiles away, this attack will NOT be blocked by first unit in LOS (line of sight)

special abilities: able to throw boomerang around friendly/blocking units in order to hit the intended target


Tactics:
A boomerang blader is meant to finish off that pesky spellcaster or extrememly weak knight before a cleric can heal it to survive yet another turn. it's fast recovery rate is balanced by relatively low HP and power. however its higher than scout armor rating means it can take a hit without to much worry

a Blader is best left behind a defensive wall of units, moving forward only to take out a bothersome pyromancer who got to close, however he can be moved out and around to perhaps cause some significant damage on his own, if left alone, however if confronted it is best to pull him back as his low power rating means he couldnt handle a knight or even an assassin.


comments/critiques?:
too powerful: i lowered power from 15 to 13

[Jazierel]

Good idea, but ultimately too powerful. Compair him to the Scout for instance. Slightly shorter range and power but half the recovery and unaffected by LOS. That's my opinion anyways.

alright i altered it a bit, any more comments guys?

[Lordofzrings]

the recovery is a bit low 2 or 3 would be a little more balanced,

what if the unit ur want to hit blocks?

[drakonfire]

i'm having a hard time seeing a unit with only 13 in power require a recovery rate of 2 or even 3, thats ridiculous in my opinion, and about blocking... uhhh, the unit blocks and life goes on without any damage caused? dude this is like asking what happens if a pyromancer blocks, is his staff cut in half or what? it just happens and life goes on
