High-blocking endgame

[scb]

Legends: I had a guy with a frosty drop beat, but I made a mistake with my chanty and he managed to even the sides. We got down to two knights, his with two hits' worth of health and a blocking bonus, and mine with one. He also had a lightning ward and a barrier ward, but they didn't matter.

I ran away for a while, killing time and getting a better hit percentage. Finally I got him one tile away from the edge and side attacked him, putting my back to the wall. It hit. He side attacked me, and I blocked. Since he was now low enough health to be killed by one back attack, he put his back to the wall, allowing me a side attack without moving. I side attacked him with a 30% chance of hitting (he blocked), then put my back to the far wall so that he could only front attack me (I would have a 1% chance of blocking). Not thinking of the blocking change over time, he opted to move around for a side hit. I blocked with an 8% chance. His blocking bonus was -39%, so I figured I had beat him by a miracle. But he blocked a side attack with a 20% chance. My blocking bonus was now worse than -140%, so he got the last hit and killed me.

Close one. Oh, I was using the default and he had a simple grey turtle with a frost golem instead of a chanty.

you didn't take a s/s :(

People talk about it all the time but I've never blocked or played someone who's unit blocked when it only had a 5% chance or less percentage to block, just like I've never been in a game where a unit had a 95% chance to block and get hit. I want weird stuff to happen too

i got a guy who blocked a one percent...also you don't know how to end the game with knights... you go to side then behind him so there is 0% blocking chance :rolleyes:

I agree, definently shoulda got an s/s.

I couldn't go behind him... he was always off wait when I attacked him. I had to always put my back to the wall so that he couldn't do that to me. I always made sure I had a slight chance. You gotta count on your luck when you're losing.

I wish I had a screenshot of the earlier spots where I took out the frost golem, but I don't figure two knights standing next to each other would be a meaningful screenshot.
