Swordwrath v.s. Swordwrath

One of them will survive
Because one of them will attack faster than the other one

There are 2 animations for swordwrath attacks:
First one: Rise up their sword and splash down
Second one: Stab the enemy

Those animations are randomized but the second animation is faster than the first one
So if the 2nd swordwrath did more stabbing than the 1st one
the 2nd one wins the battle

It seriously affect the balance of the game, so I think it should be fixed
we should make the 2nd animation duration longer

This problem also exists in Stick War 1, they have 3 animations.... slicing is the fastest, stabbing is the moderate one, kicking is the slowest one... I hate my swordwrath kicking their enemies *(%&*(# lol

Hope Crazy Jay will fix it

They take the same amount of time, they just deliver the damage at different times. The only thing that really counts is the final blow.

That's what I originally thought but it is not true after extensive testing. The jab actually is faster than the swing. You will need about an extra 5-6 jabs over the opponent to survive with more than "1 hit to death" left, which rarely happens. As long as you get more jabs in than your opponent (and the first strike was the same as your opponent's), then you will win.

This early battle is often determined randomly, which is a shame when it has so much impact in the long-run. Of course if you see you are losing, you should just retreat and try and come back from an economically disadvantaged position.

Actually, with different duration, it might make the game more interesting because it uses a little bit more luck in the game.

:) but sometimes it's annoying lol. I mean it's like 1 sword vs sword= tie! Real conclusion: someone lose (let's say you). They get a massive economy bonus (middle tower)

Actually,there are many routes you can choose from. The common one is a swordwrath rush and and they come across. With that situation, you can only depend on luck

It will be whoever gets the first hit in.

RE: luck...

I don't personally enjoy luck in a game where one coin flip determines who ultimately wins (at high level anyway).

Lol... Archidons are fucked (unless you have like 30) against speartons, unless you have a huge map or a really small map and three castles to aid you.
