Dignfight Strategies

Sigh, this one is so wrong, I don't even know where to begin. But this is all about learning, so here goes:

• attacking with less than 12 creatures
• mixing creature types
• attacking with low level creatures (compared to the defenders)

Attacking with less than 12 creatures concentrates the damage that you take. 102 damage split between 5 creatures ended up killing 1 Dark Elf. Spreading 102 points of damage between 12 creatures probably would not have killed anything.

Another point to learn is how durable creatures are. 4 Dark Elves going up against 12 level 10 Dark Elves only ends up with one casualty (I was surprised). In my experience, your creatures can survive being attacked by the same creature 5 levels higher. You will take a lot of damage and you have no chance of winning, but your creatures will usually survive. The level difference changes when you go up against different creatures - level 5 glowworms will NOT survive against level 10 Dark Elves.

Mixing creature types is a big no-no. Piccolastella was almost guaranteed to lose at least 1 Dark Elf or 1 Deviler. This is how Target Priorities can work against you.

The only loss was 1 level 4 Dark Elf. 6000 gold and 2 days of training time...not too bad. But still painful. If you spend the time to train your creatures, then take the time to scout your targets properly, you can avoid wasting resources. With high level creatures, your attacks will also be more effective.
