"PW"? I'm always quite clueless in front of abbreviations... :o

Re: EA Caelum – Ride the lightning
 

Phantom Warrior?

Phantasmal Warrior. Sorry for my laziness.
I was surprised at how effective spamming them can be. If you reach a critical mass the results are astounding. Granted, like every tactic/strat this can be countered but until your opponent comes with a counter you should already have plan B and C well under way.

Re: EA Caelum – Ride the lightning
 

Orb lighting is something very nasty too. I didn't know until reacently that it gives fatigue weather it does any damage or not, same for axe of hate.

It is actually very effective even when fighting an early Neifel rush, orb lighting I mean.

Re: EA Caelum – Ride the lightning
 

And it works underwater too, unlike thunderstrike. Orb Lightning is mucho goodness if you are Fomoria and don't have enough gear to thug out all your underwater kings, or are storming UW forts.

Re: EA Caelum – Ride the lightning
 

Most elemental attacks do fatigue damage, actually. Lightning Bolt/Thunderstrike, Magma Eruption, being set on fire, etc.

Yep, Fireball and Flare both have AoE-6 fatigue damage.

Re: EA Caelum – Ride the lightning
 

I know about all those other, but I never really used orb lighting as a counter to SC's before. Firebal and flare are crap by the way, IMO.

Re: EA Caelum – Ride the lightning
 

I like Fireball, although I like Falling Fires more. I'm surprised you never used Orb Lightning to counter SCs, though--the HP damage should kill them before the fatigue, and of course if they're shock-resistant to the HP the fatigue damage will also be negated.

Fireball is actually extremely nice, in rare situations even better than falling fires (range) and far lower research.
