Overview
Front-line unit that plays in cycles. Bash & Thrust (1) gives 70% damage reduction: go in and take the heat. When it ends, get out and use the cooldown to hit exposed damage dealers with 2.
Strengths
- Bash & Thrust: 70% damage reduction
- Run 'Em Through: high burst with 2-second block immunity (Battle Doctrine)
- Pulls attention away from your damage units
- Baits enemy cooldowns
- Shield Doctrine: -18% damage per level, multiplies with Bash & Thrust
Weaknesses
- Takes full damage while 1 is on cooldown
- Needs strict cooldown discipline
- Timing mistakes cost men fast
- Can't hold a front line without 1
How to Play
- Press 1, then walk into their front line. They barely hurt you.
- Pull their attention so your damage units are left alone, and break up their formation.
- Watch the timer. When 1 is about to end, get ready to leave.
- 1 over: out. Right away.
- While it's on cooldown, go for exposed archers, ranged units and lone damage dealers with 2.
- 1 back? Front line again. Repeat.
- Never fight on the front line without 1. The 70% is what keeps them alive.
