Well Archidons and "The Hidden" (Deads) have the same range as poison spray I believe so you are going to have to make your mage "Take pain or no game" however if you go and aim your poison past the target unit(s), it should hit :)

For albas and archers I would at least have a meatshield of some kind and use it to defend the mage(s) as I cast

you can try the magikill+giant combo for archidon spammers, and it works well because they both travel at the same speed.

Yup, along with speartons and merics.

How do you aim at ranged units without the ranged units killing you?

If you're in a massive battle, how would you avoid the opponent's Albows and Archidons while aiming a spell at them?

A giant can provide a "shelter" for your magikill
All you need to do is, move your giant forwards and move your magikill backwards
Your giant will eat all the projectiles from your opponent

P.S. Animation cancel buffs this strategy :D

When an enslaved giant is throwing their boulders, before the update, when the player tells the enslaved giant to move, the enslaved giant will finish throwing the boulder and then move. After the update, the slaved giant will stop throwing instantly and move.

OH. And how does this effect the game?

Shorten the time between throws=>More damage.

OH. OK, then. I guess it's good.

sorry, I dont get it.....

before, you had to wait for the entire animation of the arms swinging into place before he could move now, if you move him instantly after the attack, and then attack again, the reload time will be supposedly lower.

Well, technically, you COULD kite a Chaos Giant with an Order Giant like you kite with archers. But anyway.


Anyhow, I think it should be Timing, Accuracy, Placement, and Speed, not Timing, Accuracy, Speed and Placement. That way your method would be called TAPS.

But the giant is too slow to kite. Am I missing something? ._.

I don't think that order giants can reload while moving like archidons or allbowtross or eclipsors can. And order giants move at the same speed as chaos giants (I think).
