Campaign: Tropical Waters

[Ashbite]

If you carry a maiden and fight with one unarmed hand, your damage would probably be that low. I just want him to have some relation, as big strong mooks who serve the savage shamans, guard, doing stuffs while the mages do rituals, etc. There are more to Savages than this, so not.just.yet.

Or make him like he is after the sacrifice.

[Big Bad Bug]

He could have a special move with both his hands that wasn't possible with just one arm. That move could be powerful enough to make him strong without changing his stats, such as a stunning AOE or an instant-killing punch.

This is official update:

They holds staffs that glow red on top. Their body and feet and eyes also glow red, and nearby savages have a red aura underfoot.

Health: 725
No armor.

Movement: Medium.
Bounty: 50
Lives taken: 6

Special:
* Savages near them deal 40% more damage
*Also accompanied by one Savage Brute

Savage Brute

Strong savage boxers serve as bodyguard of the wisemen of the tribes.

Same appearance and stats as normal Savage Brutes, but with Med armor and magic resistance. They also have a red glow around their bodies and in the eyes like War Shamans.

Lives taken: 2

Special:
* Every 8s, charge forwards to a target and stun it for 4s.
* They now attack twice as fast using two arms.

The War Shaman is OP for the gold is gives, unless there is a level specific tower/hero to make them easier.

The savage brute could use a better skill, but it's not bad.

I'd rather not see a repeat of that. It was cool the 1st time, but reusing tactics to make multiple levels harder is cheap.

50 gold for 6 lives taken is OP. The Demon Lord had 6 loves taken and was 100 gold.

The health and gold given could be rebalanced a bit. He would have the average HP of a shaman and slightly lower gold given, for that the player must use money from other enemies to defeat him, and without armor he is not exceptionally durable against Archmages, Barrages and Mechas. As the War Shaman, he would always travel in front so it is easier to kill him, but if he is blocked then he would unleash his devastating attack on soldiers, thus Barracks don't fare well against him. Abduction or Core Drill is invaluable in this case.

The key is, while Barracks makes the War Shamans more dangerous by merging them into the mob, they are necessary to defeat my other enemies

How nice for the player

[Big Bad Bug]

That just means I'll use more micromanagement or Necromancers. How long does it take for them to use their lightning attack?

I made them so OP in my Shattering Skies campaign, but then again, everything in that campaign was OP.

He uses it every 5s, the animation takes around 1s to complete. You still need Totem of Spirit, BBB Remember the Spirit and Earth Shamans always travel in front of a mob? Now they are just behind the War Shaman

I guess I can't use Alric, otherwise his Sandwarriors would ruin everything. I could have Kahz teleport one to him and have all the towers kill the stunned savage before the others got to him. I find a way around everything.

But then you still have the ithers, so it doesn't work. Spam Axethrowers and Necromancers, that's the solution

Isn't that the solution to most problems in Frontiers?

[Ashbite]

It is, which is why I do it.

Axethrowers + Necromancers with a ton of Crossbow Forts is basically the new Teslas + Paladins spam from before. *Sigh* We need more strategy.
