Skills

1

Firestorm

The unit sprays a longer blast of hellfire that will set the enemy on fire for some time.

2

Scorched Earth

The unit sprays a quick burst of hellfire. Hellfire will continue to burn on the ground for an extended period of time, inflicting lots of burning damage to enemies passing through.

Formations

Line

The unit forms a horizontal line. Good for defending against an oncoming enemy.

Cross Formation

The unit stands in two criss-crossing ranks, making it superior at making frontal attacks.

Unique doctrines The unit's own doctrine slots from the game data. Amya's picks live in the guide below.

Guide

Playstyle

  1. 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
  2. Even at a gate chokepoint, 1 to 2 is better, you can CC enemy units for much longer (this was before Spartans released)
  3. In open space, do NOT use 2 to 1. Too much space to move around, longer/bigger frontlines
  4. 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
  5. 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
