Wards and Clerics

Tha ABomb · 11-24-2003, 11:58 AM

I put my cleric in the back corner surrounded by my lightning ward and my barrier ward. This way i can shield my cleric and destroy anyone who gets cloes enough to try and destroy my cleric or my barrier ward. However, I played a game with AzN_GuY last night (my username: Vicious) and he was able to use his dark magic witch to kill my cleric in the first two turns (although i killed his witch the following turn) so thats a pretty good tactic for destroying clerics.

p.s. I tryed to get Vicious as my username for the forum too but there were some issues.

I like to use my scout to wipe out thei witch.. then cleric...

I've used my dark witch at least twice to fry a cleric in the early game when he was hiding behind two wards. People who use barrier wards to save their cleric after the first hit are in for a nasty surprise.....one-hit kill. One guy actually left when i did this. Pretty funny.

Most people don't expect dark witches to jump out and sacrifice themselves because they are so powerful; people expect you to protect them at all costs. I've found that a sac dark witch in the early game can easily pay her way even if she dies afterwards. In my limited experience I get one use out of my witch, maybe two if lucky, so I make it count!

Scouts make great mage-killers

. They are especially good vs dark witches because those have pathetic block rate and low health.

Its really cheep when they have 1st turn, they rush their dark witch in your face, and kill your cleric in 1 shot

sad, but annoyingly effective.

Yea... dark witches really dont have a life expectancy... i dont think i've played a single game where the durn things survived to the end... barring people quitting...

If you don't barriar your cleric, they can only kill him with a scout or a pyro. Kill those three units and you are guaranteed a tie. Am I correct?

ABronsonM · 11-27-2003, 10:59 PM

Unless they say, have a unit that can survive 1 lightning blast.

xyxaxyz2 · 11-27-2003, 11:04 PM

Don't kill anyone but the dark witch with lightning. Use all other units to kill scouts and pyros. Ignore knights, assassins, and their cleric.

That was stupid advice by me. Things have changed a lot since my first post.

how's that cheap? its a good tactic and its easy to stop. Simply place a unit 4 squares in front of ur cleric. There, now they can't kill it in the first turn.
