Skills & Formations
Playstyle
- 2 to 1 combo to maximize damage, but you shouldn’t use this combo too often, only 2 situations: (1) defending/attacking a chokepoint like a gate, (2) your 1 will hit the unit cap
- Even at a gate chokepoint, 1 to 2 is better, you can CC enemy units for much longer (this was before Spartans released)
- In open space, do NOT use 2 to 1. Too much space to move around, longer/bigger frontlines
- What to do in open space: 2, reposition, 1 diagonal/straight (situation-dependent, this is where mixed vet is actually better than full Top), OR 2 to 1 diagonal, OR 2 diagonal to 1 straight
- Also, 2 to 1 isn’t really doing that much extra dmg. The burn duration + CC gets reset by ticks from 1, only thing you’re getting from 2 is extra impact dmg ticks
