Most Popular Strong Defense Hero: #42 – Archer Volley

Posted by admin on July 30 2010 Add Comments

Archer Volley shoots a large number of regular arrows to a medium-sized area. It is a good Hero to use to thin down large masses of badly-armored troops but the arrows are not powerful enough to take down swordsmen or other defensive troops. Use Archer Volle…ys to tilt evenly-matched combats to your favor or to clear off lurking bowman lines from behind their guards.

Most Popular Strong Attack Hero: #15 – Armor Piercing Arrows

Posted by admin on July 30 2010 Add Comments

The Armor Piercing Arrows rains down an accurate and deadly volley of arrows that can take down any of the basic troopers with ease. Since the number of shots is quite small, this Hero is best used to precision-strike against special characters, those pesky support units or to shatter a defensive line just before melee begins.

Hero of the day #10 – Quickness

Quickness doubles the movement speed on all units within its area of effect. Use it to get new reinforcements into the battle quickly or to rush through large gaps in the enemy defense.

Hero of the day #9 – Healer

Posted by admin on July 30 2010 Add Comments

The Healer changes one of your units into a magician who casts healing spells on the units around it. The Healer is very weak in combat, so keep him protected or lose him quickly. Use The Healer to support an attack or directly next to a powerful unit to keep that unit alive for a l…onger time. The Healer is a good defense unit since it can maintain a large number of static units in good shape for a long time.

Hero of the day #8 – Healing Potion

The Healing Potion, well, heals all the units in its area of effect. It restores all units to maximum health and removes any poison the units may be suffering from. Use the Healing Potion to ward your most important troops (i.e. the guys closest to the enemy end zone) in attack.

Category: Defensive, one-shot
Power: Strong

Hero of the day #7 – Slayer Unit

Posted by admin on July 30 2010 Add Comments

The Slayer Unit (and many like it) are the bread and butter of every general. It adds a squad of 4 Slayers to the movement lane of your choice, making it flexible both in attack and defense. Use the Slayer Unit to plug holes in your line, to guard your base or to reinforce an at…tack that is pushing through the enemy.

NanoStar: Spartacus (common)
Category: Reinforcement
Power: Strong

Hero of the day #6 – Master Archer

Posted by admin on July 30 2010 Add Comments

Master Archer changes one existing soldier into the deadliest ranged attack unit in the game. The Master Archer is fast, accurate and deadly and can fire his Elven Bow twice as far as a normal Bowman. That being said, he still has the low close combat abilities of Bowmen, so… don’t put him in the front line.

Use the Master Archer far behind the front line to clear a path for your melee troops or in defense to create a “machine-gun nest” into your defensive line. The Master Archer moves fast, so he can stay in pace with Slayers and makes for a terrific counter-attack unit both in attack and defense.

NanoStar: Robin Hood (rare)
Category: Reinforcement, single unit
Power: Legendary

Hero of the day #5 – Hellhound

Posted by admin on July 30 2010 Add Comments

Hellhound is a “line attack” Hero that sweeps the battlefield from one side to the other and damages/kills any units that get in its way. Its damage rate is very unpredictable but can usually kill a Bowman or damage a Slayer very severely. The hard armor of the Swordsmen provides… good protection against this creature. Use the Hellhound to clear those pesky Bowmen from behind the enemy front line or sweep an oncoming force before contact to gain an advantage.
