EDIT: Screw it, I'll just follow what everyone else does. This just wastes my time.


Think about it like this DAZ. Trying to teach 1200's how to properly micro and macro is like teaching a 5 year old quantum mechanics.

Throw in one giant into the mix to protect the Albowtrosses. Armoured giant takes reduced damage from arrows and the armoured Albows can still last for some time because they have armour too.

Although, I like archers because I can kite more units than with an Albowtross. Also, archers have the range advantage, especially with fire arrows.

Would you believe it if I say... 5 Albows > 1 giant? Well, level 1 giant. You just need to switch out the injured Albows.

Do Blazing Bolts really light units on fire? Someone put it on the new wiki, but I wasn't entirely sure if it was true or not. If they do, oh man, talk about OP

We'll they don't really have a hard counter now, so...
And btw, I don't recommend editing the wiki now since it's quite the bad update that throws the game's balance out of the window, and you should wait until they fixed it. But hey, you can update it if you want to.

At this point it seems as though they won't revert or anything, but the meta's stable enough at this point.

Order meta now looks like it is going to shift heavily towards Albowtrosses, a few weeks ago it was heavy Speartons with their auto-shield bash. Talk about consistent.

I said stable, not consistent.

I see stability and consistency under the same light, I mean, if the meta is shifting this much, I don't see it as very stable.
