Speed somehow increases DPS because 20-30% of their fight is walking for their next target to AA.
Tips & Tricks
- Using C (follow) cancels the auto-attack animation, letting you trade vs Stalwart or Claymore way better (more DPS for others too). Better trade if you can be with your hero INSIDE enemy units. Train in custom battle before!
- The heavy trait work for arty (treb is considered arty into the game) so you can press Charge to tank Treb if you don’t have ur heavy trait active)
