Dignfight Strategies

Rather than say that this week's puzzle was wrong, it was a good example of a common bad habit.

Don't mix creature types. Notice how the only attacking creatures that took damage are the Dark Elves. My Dark Elves have a certain attack priority: Sprinter, Battle Supporter, Blocker, Flanker.



Dark Elves are Battle Supporters, Devilers and Trolls are Blockers...the Dark Elves will take ALL of the combat damage. The next target priority will not take any damage until all of the Battle Supporters are dead. When you mix creature types, a small number of your battle squad will end up taking all of the damage. This is a great way to "execute" some of your own creatures.

mame81's Dark Elves have less than 20 hit points left. This not too bad, but should be a warning to you NOT to attack again, otherwise you risk losing a Dark Elf.

One the other hand, I was very surprised to see that 3 level 9 Dark Elves can take all of the damage from a full squad of level 10 Dark Elves and still survive. In my experience, a full squad of creatures can survive combat against a full squad of the same creatures even if they are 5 levels higher (without any spells or traps). example: a squad of level 9 Dark Elves should be able to survive combat against a full squad of level 14 Dark Elves. Your mileage may vary, post a comment if you think differently.
