Default Re: Leveraging Magic Bows

With CBM EA agartha you can effectively use the Ancient lords with 2 fire bolas and boots of giant strenght. The bolas dont just have range=strenght but also do strenght based damage.

My tactic is to put like 4 Ancient lords on the front line set to fire closest. The other sacreds are divided in 4 groups set to guard each commander. Placed so they all form a single front line.

Each lord will fire 4 bolas each turn (4X4=16) with a range and damage of 24 and 10 precicion(bolas are +3 prec). First rounds this will break up the enemy formations when the imprisoned units fall behind and when melee starts the fire bonds will allow your sacreds to hit even with their low attack score. (since it lowers defence to 2) At this point your lords are firing straight into the fray at point blank range and will rarely miss.

In practice it will be more like 28 damage and range since you will have an oracle casting strenght of giants. And those lords rack up experience fast so you´ll be looking at 12+ prec.

Add darkness and fire ward + magma children to that and you have something interesting.
