barrier wands?

Pkay227 · 11-30-2003, 07:19 AM

Are they any good? I have never used or tried one. I don't think they look that good. I'm probably wrong thou. Sum1 just tell me if i'm either totaly wrong or right. And if i'm wrong how you could use them in a strategy. Thx

If you are offensive person with knights and stuff, then no.

If you like to lay back and protect things like clerics/stoneys/enchants/witches, then yes they are good...

Every unit is good, when will you people learn this?

MinigunSniper · 12-02-2003, 02:08 AM

Would you rather have a sheild generator or a shocking post? I usually go with the lightning generator, it keeps people paranoid about the middle of the board. I've used barrier wards before, but I could never find a way to really be effective with them. Then again, I tend to be a very offensive player, so the ability to inflict up to 30 pts of unblockable damage works better for me than protecting a unit that can't do anything without losing it's protection.

It's all about trial and error eh, i've just started playing, and testing new thing... still gotta experiment with the Barrier Ward though

Barrier Wards + Enchantress = Virtually Perm Para

Barrier Ward + Enchantress + Stonie + Mid Game = Enemy has 3-4 units imobilized (hopefully only knights/wards/clerics mobile)

i dont have my enchantress in so i dont use that strategy, but i use the ward to keep an enemy thats giving me trouble locked down (assassin in my camp?! FREEZED YOU ARE!)

AzN_GuY · 12-02-2003, 06:33 PM

ward?

Aro23r · 12-02-2003, 06:42 PM

Its all about using it at the right time on the right unit. If used correctly, it can drive the enemy crazy. Just when a half-dead unit is one hit away from dying, fire up the shield and find a way to save him. So it all depends on what your strategy is.

AzN_GuY · 12-02-2003, 06:48 PM

i recently dropped mine in favor of a knight with the intention of making my formation a little less defensive and a little more capable.

Aro23r · 12-02-2003, 06:51 PM

I'm still playing around with my formation, the dragon counts as 2 units. That's an inconvience... But i'll come up with a new better formation soon enough.

Tequila_Budgie · 12-03-2003, 08:28 PM

I use "Mr. Blasty" (which is what I call my lightening ward). Never really got the point of a Barrier.

It kinda sucks that Enchantress freezes your units with the enemy. One time this dude froze his scout with my knights, so I bring up my 3rd knight and whack his scout, which can't block because its paralyzed, and the scout was already at 20 hp

you can use the Ward to freeze enemy units? now that is power! i might have one in my formation now..... that is very useful.

AzN_GuY · 12-04-2003, 12:48 AM

no ward freezes enemy units.

Drunken Dragon · 12-04-2003, 02:06 AM

Im a big fan of the barrier ward... but I must admit against two scouts theres not much it can do.

The Barrier ward is a funny thing... if someone knows how to use it, it is very annoying. But most people I find think it is an offensive weapon.

Today, I flew my dragon in to obliterate this guys cleric... my drag was one hit away from death and to kill the cleric I put him right next to three knights. The guy cast a BARRIER on my dragon... and then spent the next 6 turns whacking away at it while I gave it two heals.

About half the people I see using it cast it on MY people rather than their own...
