Overview
Heroic infantry with the Monk's Spade, unlocked in the Season XV challenges. Deadly Epicycle into Crescent Moon throws a clump into the air and shreds it. They resist fire and can block and hit back.
Strengths
- Every order deals splash damage
- Blocks melee and strikes back at once
- Deadly Epicycle: heavy AoE spin (5s cooldown)
- Crescent Moon: sweep that launches after Epicycle (12s cooldown)
- Reduced fire damage
Weaknesses
- No movement skill, you have to walk them in
- High leadership cost
- Weak while skills are on cooldown
- Only one formation (Dispersed)
How to Play
- Deadly Epicycle first, Crescent Moon right after. That order gives you the knock-up and the splash.
- Walk in Dispersed so arrows hurt less.
- Block incoming hits to build up, then answer with Epicycle.
- Best in tight spaces, as a tank or skirmisher.
