I said before that enemies arent stupid except that they can be. Second problem is a lose-more problem. Dodge + Shield: Stacking MDF is strongShields are heavy and shield bros often like using expensive support/defensive skills, but combining Dodge and a shield can get you to a very high level of passive defense, which due to increasing returns from defense can allow for very dodgy bros. Works better on shieldbros who plan on attacking as that is cheaper than casting defensive skills. Word of caution is that CS and Executioner provide no value against Undead/Ancient Dead. Just because scatter shots can apply stacks to multiple enemies does not make it good because that means you are missing. In that regard, aggressively leveling HP and grabbing Colossus will go a long way to make Nimble better for you. Daggers attack three times per turn and both Puncture spam or Qatal Duelists can appreciate dealing a bunch of morale checks each turn. People say that since you slowly gain stats in Veteran levels that Gifted must be bad, but if thats the argument then all of the other perks Ive compared Gifted to must also be bad right? Bleeds can be inflicted not only by Cleavers but also by Whips, Jagged Pikes and Irrlicht (Kraken) attacks. Spearwall: Low damage makes injury very unlikelyDue to Spearwall halving your damage and Spears also having poor Ignore%, it is extremely bad at inflicting injuries to anything that is remotely armored. Stack is removed whether you hit or miss. Even if you try a second time and land the hit, you are at the mercy of the turn order and if an enemy gets the next move there is a very reasonable chance he takes the newly unoccupied high ground tile. Using Colossus on top would still be good, just pointing out this interaction as Colossus is a good pick on Forge, so by extension if Nimble can be better then it is also a good pick. DiscussionDagger Mastery is one of the more impactful Masteries, allowing for potentially a 50% damage boost as well as the assorted mobility advantages of being able to attack for less AP. So HP/FAT gets +4, INIT +5, DEF +3, and so on This is an extra level up in addition to a bros standard 10 level ups Does not increase your bros actual level, just grants a level up screen If you reset your perks using a Potion of Oblivion, your Gifted perk gets refunded but you get to keep the stats you gained from it. HH is not very good on the Handgonne, given your general lack of control on the AoE and the Handgonnes poor AID. 5 MDF for a perk slot is not super compelling by itself (certainly not bad), compare that to Dodge or Gifted for example, but there is more going on here. It also lets you swap with dogs you drop, allowing you to use a very expensive pseudo Footwork if necessary, or allowing you to swap your dog out if hes biting down that armor you are trying to knife for. + Provides a ton of stats+ Multiplies after gains from external factors and perks Very dangerous to use, can easily get you killed Usually not worth leaving formation to gain this buff Being alone leads to RES and FAT problems, A buff bubble will appear on the left of the screen when this effect is live The RES portion of this buff will multiply +RES Trophies, Lionheart potions, and the Banner buff Acts like Morale effects, in that it applies after most external factors/modifiers As such, will multiply gains by shields, Shieldwall, Dodge, Reach, Fast Ad., Fortified Mind, etc. Occurs before Anticipation in calculating for Anticipation value Remaining decimals round down Updates in real time as bros move Dogs/Allies will not disable LW. Changing height levels also has no additional AP cost anymore. BannermanYour Bannerman should be leveling RES every level and using buffs like Mind/Gifted, and the Sash. The single target attacks also do more base damage than the AoE attacks. It is a defensive perk that requires you to attack (offense) but also not kill the enemies you are attacking. The value of Colossus here goes beyond just the raw durability. Crossbows: Can move once after shooting & reloading to repositionCrossbows can shoot and reload for 7 total AP, leaving them 2 AP left to move. Because Nimble gets huge mitigation to HP damage taken it is capable of face tanking with its HP stat. HybridsHybrids want to be able to use melee and ranged weapons at the same time depending on need and want to be able to switch between them freely in order to do this job well. Executioner can sometimes save you a shot against enemy range units or against Orc Young/Berserkers/etc. Then Brawny will apply after, rounding up again Ex. Also negates the 25% Initiative penalty from waiting., + Provides a lot of Initiative if you burn through Fatigue+ Assists going earlier in the turn order, which Initiative builds can appreciate+ Can provide a small defensive benefit if used with Dodge+ Negates the wait turn penalty, which can allow for double moves and status avoidance Doesnt do much if you arent guzzling Fatigue Not as useful unless you have a good reason for wanting to go fast, INI loss per FAT loss is reduced from 1 per 1 to .5 per 1. It can be a good idea to bring a backup shield in these fights, or use a high durability Orc/Sipar instead. Once per turn, upon killing an enemy, 4 Action Points are immediately regained. Finally, your back line is unlikely going to take any significant damage in a fight. 2Handers and DuelistsThese are your primary damage dealers and they very much enjoy having Frenzy buffs. This can be anywhere from 15-25 extra accuracy against shielded enemies and is especially useful against Footman/Ancient Dead who love their shield spam and are highly vulnerable to Duelist given their low HP. Mostly Fat. In BB, its a much better idea to focus fire your damage on just a few enemies at a time to quickly get kills rather than spreading damage around the enemy party. Even regular levels of 50 or 60 RES (with Banner buff) will grant a -10 or -12 Resolve penalty on your foes. You are going to pick it on your Bannerman no questions asked. Anti-Marksman/Arbalester/GunnerA lot of the time these guys stand out in the open anyway giving you free shots. An early Taunt user is going to want a Heater Shield purchase and defensive perk support. Most enemy range units actually have fairly poor RSK, and by the end of turn 1 or on turn 2 you can have your frontline in cover behind the enemys frontline forcing their range units to try and shoot past their own troops or move forward. + Very good against Hexen+ Status effects can be crippling/annoying, and less damage from bleeds Better on Nimble who tends to be more bothered by status than Forge Status effects are fairly rare Status effects are usually not too bothersome to devote a perk Less bleeding damage is not good enough reason to take Resilient over another defensive perk. Injury avoidance: Head injuries can be particularly nastyThe head injury formula favors Brow, making Brow fairly good at helping you avoid head injuries, especially heavy head injuries. However, given the chaotic nature of the battlefield, multiple brothers contributing damage, and damage rolls being variable, it is hard to predict how often Executioner helps or does not help. And at the very least you want 80 free fat. In the early game imo 80+% of your units should go Nimble. 4AP attacks also have Berserk/Recover synergy if you use both of those.

Ive had 60 Resolve tanks drop to Fleeing just from Ancient Dead walking into his zones at the start of Monolith. You can act first debuff free, wait, eat the sand, then get cleared of the status on your second pass and act freely again next turn. High HP Nimble stays competitive throughout the whole game. Other interesting points of note is that the Brow Nimble line had the best injury avoidance, and that Brow was relatively more useful on lower hp units and lower defense units. These are all priority targets for Warbows so HH makes some sense here. Since elite enemies generally arent scary without an entourage to back them up, mowing down their less durable troops essentially wins the battle. Since Polearms require very little FAT to use, it nearly guarantees that your Rotation will be available when you need it. I do not recommend playing Ironman when you are first practicing with LW. Every stat is huge. Tanks: Claim important tilesTanks usually want to grab a position and then hold there, so they may not benefit as much from Pathfinder as others. Therefore if the first hit does 5 damage you get a proc, and if the second/third hit then does 7 and 8 damage thosedo notget procs. Archers are notoriously bad at low levels due to the high stat demand to use bows effectively. You cannot gain Confidence from Rally Formula: Targets current RES + 40% of Rally users RES 10 * distance from user. Named armor efficiency firstSome named armor types are always a good fit, like the Wolf Helmet. Note that Indomitable favors having more armor (see Indom), so if you are using Indom then the Noble Mail lines will benefit from it slightly more than the 40% lines. With enough Fat, and little need to patch other stats, make them BF. So sure while your missed Bullseye shot might hit something else, the chance to hit and damage is reduced significantly. Misconception Heavy armor & Forge needs Indomitable against ChosenNo. FlailFlail Duelists tend to be a good deal weaker than the above options, but they have some advantages that can make them worth considering. Gifted gives hp. However, Swords have a lower FAT cost than the above options and a bonus +10% accuracy. Recover is a must, and Fearsome can do great. You dont want to half your damage output, right? You can try to manipulate the formation so that you can get more surrounds but you also run the risk of the enemy getting more surrounds on you by doing so. Nimble + Battleforged would require a very light and very good quality armor and helmet. Smart targeting: Specifically target enemies with poor headgear and avoid high armorTo reiterate from the main section, smart targeting can go a long way to improving HH value. Given the high volume of Young bouncing into your Spearwall you can get a lot of morale drops here. This can be especially troublesome in tricky swamp or hill maps. Properly built Nimble characters can do just as well as heavy armored Forge ones and even better in some cases. Hybrids, especially of the duelist kind, tend to like Bags the most but they are also starved for perk points. But having both nimble and battleforged is cool for frontline bros too. Nimble makes late game light armor builds viableNimble used to be hard to play with but since the B&E DLC it has been reworked to give light armored characters a fair chance at survival even up to the late game. Anti-Mortar: Escape the target zoneAs Mortars give you a clear visual indicator of where they are going to land, you want to get away if possible. Backstabber is usually only worth +5 and sometimes +10 or better. Categories. Forge Brow only helps against specific enemies but it could be worth a look if you arent Indom spamming just because of how dangerous Chosen are. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. You dont have to build your whole team around it. You can translate your Gifted gains into other stats. Student can also help you rush to higher tier perks which can be more powerful than lower tier perks. I have cleared crises in a no-perks challenge and Ive beaten Monolith with a team of Beggars/Cripples, so you do not need to stress so much about min-maxing or creating perfect builds. Watch out for status effectsSomething to watch out for is enemy Mace users who deal extra FAT damage with each attack (and therefore INI) and can Daze (2H version). 2H Mace: High damage and high AID2H Mace has probably the highest AID in the game and is even capable of one shooting Raiders/Footman depending on their armor loadout. I would like to hope everyone can get something out of this guide.if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[250,250],'gamerofpassion_com-large-leaderboard-2','ezslot_4',110,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-gamerofpassion_com-large-leaderboard-2-0'); Beginners will find plenty of advice to make informed decisions on when and why to choose a particular perk. It gives a passive damage reduction which helps avoid serious head injuries. The extra HP also makes you more resistant to Brigand Marksmen which tend to give new players some headaches. Incidentally, surrounding an isolated enemy will try his Resolve harder. 60 minimum, 70+ before LW is recommended which usually means that you are going to have to pick up Mind. With common Nimble armor lines you are going to get 5 FAT and 5 INI from Brawny. The perks compliment each other very well. DiscussionSplitting shields is usually not a worthwhile strategy because it takes a lot of time (AP) and FAT to do so, you give enemies a buff (Double Grip) when you break their shield, and you force them to attack you (they cant Shieldwall). + Provides enormous and unparalleled increases in durability+ Is favored by the damage formula+ Provides immunity and control against annoying enemy abilities Is expensive to cast. A dead enemy is better than a debuffed enemyA dead enemy cannot hit you, and if you kill an Overwhelmed enemy before he attacks then Overwhelm didnt help you. As a reminder from the CS section, Alps, Schrats, Ifrits, Kraken, Dogs, Undead, Lindwurms, and Goblins are all targets that are either immune to injury or will die in two hits anyway (Goblins) regardless of Executioner (except Overseer). and rounds it down in your favor Provides Stun immunity from Maces, Orc Young, and Unholds Provides immunity to displacement effects such as Warrior pushing and Unhold Throwing, as well as abilities like Shieldbash, Polearm displacements, and Serpent grabs. Provides immunity to Kraken Tentacle grabs Does not provide immunity to tier 3 Nachzehrer swallowing Does not provide immunity to Priest Horrify, and Horrify status will cancel your Indom. Pathfinder is a FAT perk as well as a mobility perk. Pathfinder is notorious among the community for being loved by some and ignored by others. Initiative buildsBecause INI drops as you gain FAT, Initiative builds that tend to accumulate a lot of FAT can appreciate having Recover to help reset. Weaker weapons are negatively impacted by having HH. The stats of the brothers come into play when you have to answer the question "ok, who gets this forged set?" Oh please. If you have Resilient as well then the Charm will wear off without ever actually doing anything. If you have any advice for improving the guide or want to offer a differing opinion then please feel free to share in the comments. That by no means makes it unusable or even bad, but it is something to be aware of. Polearms can attack twice and move one tile with Berserk, giving them a large amount of flexibility and ability to find targets to take advantage of the extra AP. Master how to remove your pommel and end them rightly.. 2-Tile teach weapons: More options to targetSimilar to ranged weapons, reach weapons have some flexibility on who they are able to target. Added Split Man with Fearsome mechanic. A 9AP cost is stifling. Does not affect damage from mental attacks or status effects. It is a global damage increase (and quite a large one) after you get a kill, which means if you can consistently be getting kills then you are consistently doing extra damage without really any strings attached except for getting it online in the first place and keeping it going. Famed weapons: Duelist shinesDuelist gets stronger the higher your base damage and Ignore%. On a per hit basis they do less damage than the above options, but with Bleed damage and Decapitate added in they can out dps Mace/Hammer in some matchups, notably against Nimble enemies like Conscripts. This means your Spearwall is active all through turn 2 and 3 even if you get breached (assuming Mastery). If the Hexe decides to ignore your Resilient guy then he can try and make his way over to stun her. Although you can use Frenzy without Berserk, Berserk makes it a lot stronger, and is generally the better of the two anyway, so youve probably already got it. The Fatigue penalty from wearing armor and helmet is reduced by 30%. : 40 base RES is +10 and 43 base RES is also +10 Updates as your bro levels and gains more points Modifies after traits like Brave/Fearless Modifies Resolve gained from Trophies or the Sash Modifies Resolve gained from the Banner aura and Lionheart Potions Refer to thislink to see various Resolve checks/modifiers. Unlocks the Footwork skill which allows you to leave a zone of control without triggering free attacks. Clearly, the differences between Indom and not are astronomical, with the effect being more pronounced against dangerous enemies that deal a lot of armor ignoring damage. Compared to heavy armor/Forge, Nimble is weak to spam damage, DoT, Split Man and FearsomeRepeated weak attacks being more common than single heavy ones, Nimble tends to be, on average, slightly less durable than 300/300 Forge. Some people have run large companies of 2Hander + Polearm bros with QH and Rotation. If you can consistently do this then it does wonders for the RES problems and you can even Rally if there is trouble. That by no means makes Duelists bad or that you shouldnt use them, but it is something to be aware of. Duelists: Damage perk stackingHigh AID Duelists like Mace can make use of HH. Multiplier stacking: The more the betterDamage modifiers stack multiplicatively, meaning if you have Frenzy up already then Executioner is worth +25% instead of +20% because Frenzy is also multiplying it. Forge scales with armor durability and low damage levelsThe following table shows the simulated mean hits for a mix of thirty five enemies to kill a character with 80 HP and various armors (head/body), with and without Forge. Being smart about your targeting and injury delivery will help you get more value out of Executioner. Even though Forge doesnt improve heavy armor as much as Nimble does light armor it still provides a decent amount of durability making it a valuable, if optional, perk. We have an 80% hit chance to an uncovered target and he moves behind a another enemy. Mind can help counter this threat. If your morale gets dropped then you take a RES penalty as well which will make you more vulnerable to further Horrify spam. Brow: Death in 4.11 hits. Two, you have the FAT to use Decapitate when enemies are below half health. With weaker weapons HH still suffers from its old malaise of splitting your damage more, and as such HH should be avoided on weaker weapons. The Gilded weapons are more threatening to Nimble units than Forge units. Quantitative ratings are fun but really fail to capture how you should be evaluating perks. + Provides highly valuable MDF+ Helps keep your shield intact+ Easy pickup for any dedicated shieldbro Shield characters have poor offense MDF returns are poor without Heater or famed, Shield gains are not rounded, so you get 1 defense from every 4 natural defense of the shield Round Shields gain +3 Defenses (from 15) Heater Shields gain +5 MDF (from 20) Kite Shields gain +6 RDF (from 25) Famed Shields with higher bases will have those higher bases get boosted Shieldwall will double the bonuses gained Shield damage reduction essentially doubles durability against Split Shield attacks. An Anticipation archer left in the open may even draw arrows away from other units, which may be advantageous. For nimble bros, using steel brow and going without a helmet is viable in some circumstances, it looks 40/280/-21 it would be significantly better than standard 120/95/-15. Action Point (AP) costs for movement on all terrain is reduced by -1 to a minimum of 2 AP per tile, and Fatigue cost is reduced to half. A bro like this can act as a setup man and skip on perks like Berserk/Frenzy since he is focused on knocking enemies down the turn while dealing good damage so that your slower bros can more easily get the kills. This can make Overwhelm awkward. Had so much named nimble armour and shields this run thought fuck it, lets use all it and see what happens. In the current state of the game, 60 HP 300/300 Forge can die in a couple heavy hits. Related Perks Fast Adaptation, Gifted, Backstabber, Lone Wolf. Archers generate FAT quickly so the Dodge bonus will drop off quickly and probably be low or gone by the time your archer is being engaged in melee (which he shouldnt be at all). September 9, 2021. A notable enemy that isnt immune is the Conqueror, making Stunning a great way to limit him. If you leave a low HP/RDF archer in the open he can get peppered. Named armors made even betterBecause Forge gets better the more durable the armor, it works especially well with very heavy (300+ durability) named armors. Bleeding/Poison will apply on any attack that deals 6 or more hp damage. The true immortal guy uses the Davkul armor with Ijirok helmet haha. However, the prohibitive cost of Indom may entice you to seek alternatives. Then next turn you let the enemies attack into your Heater and then switch back (4 AP) and attack (5 AP). For example, Taunting an Unhold 3 tiles away fighting a different bro will not stop the Unhold from throwing (the Taunt will have no effect at all in this case) Will not prevent Split Shield from being used Using Taunt on an enemy that cannot reach the Taunt user in any capacity will have no effect If an enemy is Taunted but then his or your position gets altered by something like Rotation and you are no longer in reach of each other then the Taunt will be ignored, Understanding AI nuance Will not make enemies brainless, and Taunt may be ignored if other AI factors outweigh it Does not work on Hexe Does not work on Beastmasters Will not prevent Ifrits from combining Will encourage enemies to engage into the Taunt users ZoC if there is an unobstructed means for them to do so, they are not already zoned, and they have already committed to fighting (meaning that if the enemy team is camping because they have ranged advantage, Taunt will not convince enemies to leave their line to go fight you) By extension, a unit like a Necromancer/Priest will not jump into your ZoC because you Taunted him. A scattered shot has a penalty to hit chance against the new tile/target (flat -15% drop). Understanding Warrior control is the biggest step to safely skipping on FW. Turn order: Slower bros with Executioner can capitalize on prior injuriesExecutioners can benefit by being slow. You can do this without Relentless as well, but it is hard to maintain the speed to pull this off without it (or Adrenaline) due to the wait INI penalty. Investing in Dagger Mastery (and even QH if you werent already using it for something else) is usually not worth the cost of a perk for a bit of extra damage when you arent getting a Berserk proc. See in comments. 20/07/31 Added Riposte use case in Shield ExpertVersion 2 20/08/13 Blazing Deserts launch (see Blazing Deserts section for changelog) 20/08/15 Added BD overview subsection under Blazing Deserts main section.

Thanks for reading the introduction! 6AP 2Handers can try and take advantage by adding a 1Hander and QH to switch to on a turn where you want to Recover, provided that there is a kill set-up for you to take advantage of. Sure, let's walk through the correct answer (for front liners). Remember, the more MDF the better. Nimble Brow has some advantages compared to regular Nimble. Goblin Trophy and Resilient are recommended due to Shamans. Underdog is good to help counteract their plans so that your grabbed bros have a better chance of surviving. In this regard, Fearsome suffers in the same way as CS and Executioner. Fencers: More security on LungingFencers are rather perk starved and you can run them without Underdog for sure, but having it is nice for the extra security, and it means you dont have to be so careful about where you are Lunging around. Nimble frontline however can appreciate the bonus RDF as enemy range units really like targeting Nimble front liners even if they are harder to hit than Forge front liners. You can do it to your enemies as well. Lone Wolf can do well, and Resilient can ward a nasty debuff. Daggers: 3 attacks per turnFearsome is better the more attacks you can deliver as you can deal more checks. ?Yeah I hear you. Any bro who isnt extremely skilledUnlike FA which loses value as you get more skilled, Backstabber still does fine on highly skilled units. So if you give this bro Backstabber then he can drop a Dog for an instant +10 hit chance for his upcoming attack. This makes Overwhelm a team support perk that is better used against bulky enemies. Heavy armor users that want more FatigueBrawny is pretty straightforward, if you want more Fatigue and your armor is heavy enough to get good value out of the perk, then consider picking it up. The problem is colossus is irrelevant in such a good equipment and so is forged. + Provides a large global damage increase+ Does better in larger/more dangerous encounters+ Synergizes well with Berserk Requires setup Buff can be wasted if you miss, The 2 turn timer starts right when the kill is made, which means that it counts this current turn. Overwhelm forces you to attack on your first action if you want to get value. Injury value is inconsistentSome injuries are useful and others are not. To put that in perspective, Colossus is a good perk and it is only worth 1.25x HP. While the effect on Round Shields is fairly weak (compare to Dodge or Gifted), an early Heater Shield buy with Shield Expert and some other defensive perks can make just about any bro respectably durable. While the DLC have made Resolve more important than prior (Hexe, Fearsome), it is usually feasible for most backgrounds to achieve a decent Resolve score without resorting to this perk for help.How valuable Mind is compared to the other stat boosters is going to depend on what your comfortable Resolve target is. Valve Corporation. The effect that Overwhelm applies is quite good. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations.
