Meaning if you only have one unit in the top left or right, then middle and and bottom line will be both exposed. as they have also the most magic defense.Īlso important to keep in mind is that if not at least half a unit is in the way, they can jump a line in. It can be used as a strategy with an imposing Mage unit, to draw the attacks of the Mages. The middle row, provided you have units in front and back, can only really be targeted by mages. Having the cat be the sole unit in the back means all assassins always attack the Cat, and the cat's special evade helps you 'tank' backrow attacks this way, meaning you can put all your damage in the front most two units, to really tank Assassin Ambush units.Īlso having a heavily armored unit in the backrow can help protect the middle from assassins. You can use this with a certain Cat for example. all others will attack the frontmost unit.

Then the backrow.Īssassins will attack the rear most unit.

Then the top and bottom most unit in the middle line. The safest spot in your Unit is the exact middle. Originally posted by Roderick:Any general tipps to protect a new unit? Besides not running into assassins with a new healer in the back row? Units in the direct centre benefit the most from overlapping cover, so they'll receive some damage reduction from arrows too. If it's a unit that is individually weak, you could put it in the middle of your highest threat group, one with 3 lines of depth. cavalry squads, or Zelos on his lonesome. having enemy archers attack Zelos.Īgainst rogues/assassins I prefer to hit them first using specialist anti-rogue squads that have a strong backline, so if they go on the offense the attacks will pling off guys with better armor & hp. The way I protect mine is taking rogues/assassins into consideration and using the movement overlay to ensure that the AI mostly attacks the wrong squad. I would've preferred for them to attack Sybil's, so that was a bummer. In the second chapter the final enemy preferred to range attack MC's squad(3264) over Sybils(2778). Stationary defenders might work differently. Mostly, I think if they can reach them in melee they will.
