Counters
- Loses to: Any fire DMG such as wuxing, flameshackle set
- Struggles vs: High range units or units that can burst before we apply the debuff
- This unit counters: Low unit count units - low minimum dmg units will get farmed
Formations
DispersedDispersedThe unit spreads out a little to lessen the damage from ranged attacks.
Playstyle
- Their passive poison deal insane DMG & reduce DMG a lot
- Their pike has a nice range of attack. Always try to flank
- Optimize DPS by X-moving and V (V, when the auto-attack DMG pop-up appears, X-move and V again to cancel the end of the auto-attack animation)
- Their auto-attack “explodes” with poison. Main DMG is poison, so stack some poison (~4/5 auto-attacks), then back off for a few seconds and re-engage. No need to perma front-line during blob fights
The Charge doctrine is a must-have. It’s a flat DMG number (does the same vs phalanx or T2 pikes). You can win matchups you’d never expect: Iron Reapers, even Yanyuedao at their prime with the right charge.
