Skills & Formations

ThrowThrowThe unit throws hellfire at the current target. The hellfire can ignite the ground, inflicting fire damage on enemies. Every time an enemy takes hellfire damage, all their Defences will fall by 6% for 8 seconds. Rain of FireRain of FireThe unit throws hellfire at the current target. The hellfire can ignite the ground, inflicting fire damage on enemies. Every time an enemy takes hellfire damage, all their Defences will fall by 6% for 8 seconds.
LineLineThe unit stands in two ranks, making it superior at making frontal attacks.

Playstyle

  1. V the front line, 2 the back line to apply debuff, then reposition / keep DPS
  2. Try to NOT use 1 but rather V (less ammo, more spread)
  3. If enemy blob has flamers / zykalian, ignore previous instructions and try to snipe them with 2 as hard priority
  4. Be careful about musket liquid fire, divers, fire rune
  5. Always cycle V and 2. Playing zykalian from far-away with only 2 is losing 50% of your dmg
  6. ALWAYS X-MOVE after shooting, don’t stand still
