Some various tips for players having a hard time

Enjoying the game but still having trouble getting to the last boss?

Here's some tips from the veteran Shush from the discord!

  • Every party should consist of at least one healer. Battle Priests are amazing due to their Heal and Calm Mind & Spirit abilities. Give them medium or heavy armour to allow them to tank some hits, and use their Heal ability whenever off cooldown and Shield in every fight to sustain. Sorcerers are also an amazing source of burst DPS on demand.,

  • Utilize pauses a LOT. You have a huge advantage over your enemies as you can cast any ability, item or scroll while pausing. The global cooldown after casting a spell is typically very short, so pause, cast a spell with your party, wait a few seconds for global cooldown to come off, pause again, rinse and repeat.,

  • Identify the trouble-makers and get rid of them quickly. Some enemies such as archers and sorcerers have terrible durability, but while they are up, they can rack up the damage. On the other end, some enemies like the Zombie Tank are weak in terms of offence, but have a lot of HP. You can move right past them and take out the more important targets.,

  • You can run away from fights that are not favourable to you. If you find yourself in a terrible spot, just run away. The enemy will initially chase you, but as you break distance they will eventually give it up. You can use this to draw them into better areas where you have the upper hand.,

  • Food and Drinks are also sources of healing. Consider drinking and eating while your characters are damaged to utilize the full effect.,

  • Match the gear you find to the characters. Some characters prefer dexterity based gear (lighter armour, smaller weapons) while some prefer strength based (bigger weapons). Try to reach full armour sets while at it, the bonus defence is decent.

Hopefully, these tips can help you in your journeys in the mad empire.
