Oh.... lightning cannot kite, good thing
and y don't you combine your units earlier Rain xD?

Spam chrome and control the entire army :3


It doesn't really work like that. It's hard to use chromes, especially in EvE.

I'm talking about in actual gameplay here..

^_^-b prepare for the broken lightning mass.

By my reckoning that's between 1/2 a bar and a 1/3rd of a bar per hit from each lightning bolt. Last time I checked that's a lot stronger than Eclipsors and Eclipsors cost mana to buy as well as 400 gold.

Yes. But the lightnings have a weird range, it's not really set, but once they fire their lighting shot it'll hit no matter what. No real way to tank it.

V's aren't actually that good. They're not OP, but the lightnings most certainly are.

Have you tested having a tank unit go further back/ upwardsy to try and intercept? Or using say an albow to block it from hitting a sword. Would that work?

It just goes through everything and hits its target.

NOPE, I don't think elemental is op since elemental Rain is getting pwnt by numerous players xD

Lightning seems to be OP, but it cannot kite and deal low damage (is that a mix of archer and dead? I wonder)
The only advantage is that he has "unlimited" range (once he set the lightning, no stuffs can dodge it)
and move as fast as lightning (which is pretty useless cuz he cannot kite =.=)

Also, seems Order screws elemental by spamming archers
while elemental screws chaos by spamming lightning
Due to the kiting ability of the ranged units of those races

I guess elemental's only strength is great spells dealing huge damage+stunning, but it takes a long time to cast those spells
Units with higher mobility can simply dodge them =.=, so archidons is an ideal unit to screw elemental

I don't thing spamming archers will beat elementals. They could get a lava elemental and a few fire elemental, or get a single fire/water blast to destroy all archers and I think swordwrath in a range.

By the time they had already got a bunch of archers
also you forget about harassment, with 1-2 archers it can screw 2 bars elements by kiting around
