Lightning ward vs. lightning ward

Hammy · 12-10-2003, 10:44 PM

Your wards are placed in a position where they can zap each

other. Should you or shouldn't you?

skribe311 · 12-10-2003, 10:47 PM

No! Let the opponent waste his time with it, I usually never do tho. While he attacks my ward, I just attack him

ReNeGAdE · 12-10-2003, 11:38 PM

yeah as soon as he zaps its open for your casters to storm in. my ward has died once in all the games ive played, they dont die ez.

I always use my lightning ward to take out units off the start, and protection for my units at the end.
I've killed so many witches first turn with it.

What a waste. If your lightning wards are in proximity just leave it. As it was said earlier on the thread, just let him hit and then make him pay for it. Besides it makes way to good a magic killer.

Snork · 12-11-2003, 11:51 AM

People tend to keep their witches up front.
If you're in the right spot, first turn witch kill.
There goes their cleric killer.

Kill the stupid thing o0 the die EASY if you know how to kill them.

Haelix · 12-11-2003, 11:56 AM

I believe what Eldar is referring to is to paralyze them, probably preferrably with a Frost Golem, and then just melee it.

Badredd · 12-11-2003, 12:26 PM

in all the battles i have played, even when my and my opponents wards were together, my lightning ward never died...

jaydude6 · 12-11-2003, 01:47 PM

must have not played that many.
mine has died about 3 times at least (one was absolutely bent on killing it... he paid for that.)

Choi · 12-11-2003, 01:53 PM

Most be people don't bother trying to kill it since they are tough and it's easier to keep out of it's way. I think that I've had mine destroyed 5 times out of 125 games. It would have been less but sometimes I don't bother trying to keep them from killing it and instead focus on getting hits in on their units.

Snork · 12-13-2003, 07:58 AM

I've had several games where the other person tried to take out my ward.
While they attacked it, I killed their other units.
I've lost my LW 10 times or so, but won every game by using this tactic.

Heh. I love it when new people try to attack my LW with knights or scouts. They always wonder why they always seem to miss!

If they're new I tell them after the first try. I don't tell them how to hurt it, just that whatever attacked it can't.

So you make the pretention of being a helpful father figure in the game, while making him pay for his mistakes. Brilliant. Learning the hard way is the best way to learn, and you benefit from looking like a nice guy.
