Overview
Phalanx that wins with a brace-cancel burst combo and the Divine Gaze totem. The +1 target from the Titanic veterancy node makes them brutal in choke points and against cavalry blobs.
Strengths
- Brace-cancel combo for instant burst
- Divine Gaze: up to 40% more damage at max Expose
- +1 target from Titanic: narrow passages and flag points
- F3 spread covers 3 to 4 times the area
- Strong against cavalry, every braced hit takes more riders
Weaknesses
- The full bottom line (Titanic) is mandatory, no veterancy choice
- You have to V-cancel
- Divine Gaze has a 50-second cooldown
- Spread formation is easier to focus
How to Play
- The combo: 1, V, 2, 1, V. Fast.
- Drop the Divine Gaze totem where the fight will happen, if it's ready. X-move into range.
- 1 (Brace) unlocks 2. Press V right away to cancel the brace animation, so the pikes snap into place faster.
- 2 for the burst.
- 1 again to brace, V again to stay mobile.
- The V-cancel is not optional. Do it after every brace, unless you need to keep blocking.
- Divine Gaze: enemies in range gain Expose stacks, up to 10. At 10 they take 40% more damage. Lasts 15 seconds, 50-second cooldown. Place it before you commit and keep it for the big fights.
- F3 spreads the unit. Braced in F3 they cover 3 to 4 times the area without losing much damage. Good for covering a whole flag and against heavy AoE. The cost: easier to focus down.
- Look for narrow spaces, that's where +1 target counts.
- Brace before the cavalry arrives, not during the charge.
