Default Attack Order

If a unit has multiple attacks in what order do they actualy occur?

I assume attack 1 goes first, followed by attack two, etc...

My question is what happens when a unit has quickness? Does it cycle through all the attacks once, and then go through it again. OR does Attack 1 get issued twice, then attack 2 twice, etc.

Thank you for your patronage!

Default Re: Attack Order

heh i'm not sure when that would be important, but I would think that each attack is done once and then cycled through again, since quickened spell casting has the second spell cast after everyone else has done their first move.

just a guess, though.

Default Re: Attack Order

Not sure what the order is, but it could make a little difference with any attacks that have fatigue effects, as fatigue decreases the target's defense, or even just with different damage attacks, as the target's defense is penalized for every attack attempted on the target, so you would want (if you are attacking, that is) the high-damage attacks to come Last, and the low-damage attacks to come first.

I did some tests and Arch is correct. It cycles through the weapons once, and then again.

It can be very important depending on how you build your SC's/Thugs.
