How is this?

:lak::spt::bst:
:exo::can::inv:
:mnk::malehero::ora:

Thinking of replacing cannon or inventor with jani for added snipe and damage. Wasn't sure what to put in front with LK and spartan so decided on BT since she's supposed to be like a mini LK. Main is in back so I'm out of range of spears.

I was going to put princess and prophet instead of oracle and BT in party but couldn't find any room without putting very squishy mercs up in front, so gave up on the idea.

Edit-Did some thinking, and decided maybe to go pure snipe/spike instead of adding stun.

Basically, I would replace cannon inventor and oracle with jani, prophet, and princess. Everyone but monk would be healed each turn, and monk is in back anyway so that's a non issue. Also, I probably wouldn't need exo with this build, so I most likely will put an archer or arty in his place.

1. pve or pvp? I'll assume pvp...sry if i'm wrong.
2. replace cannoneer with jani. inventor is a good source of stun combos.
3. you're a melee main, wtf are you doing, hiding at the back? I only put main at the back in shadow dungeons.
4. BT is not a mini-LK. the swordman is (in a way).
5. however, I'd vote to remove the BT, get a northern viking, and change main to sword or bow (to help in spiking).

Axe doesn't have shield, and main can still be poked by spears so that's why I figured it was a good idea to put axe in back. Vik has low m def, so that's the reason I didn't add him. Although I just checked BT's m def and it's only a little higher than northern viking's. How is this? Limited stun, but was thinking of going pure spike/snipe

:malehero::arc::jan:

Or

:lak::spt::vik:
:malehero::witc::jan:
:prn::pro::mnk:

Witch added for meteor/mana recharge and to disrupt enemy cannons.

I'd suggest going for the 1st build, and ditching the USELESS princess. only 2 ranged mercs, and no cannoneer to do combo with her. get inventor instead of her. If you can afford, get pirate instead for more spike.

Three actually, archer, jani, prophet. I put princess in to heal and buff the ranged mercs, and prophet is for healing and buffing melees.

Would it be a good idea to replace princess with oracle then? Also, do archers get an AOE at 100? And can they become dark archers? Or is that main only?

I was also considering taking your advice and going archer main instead, although getting a secret vial of amnesia is not an option. 100m+ is way out of my price range. I could however just restart. Axe main is only in the early 20s.

If I go archer maybe princess would be useful then? Since it would make 4 ranged units instead of 3, and I assume princess' def buff stacks with monk's protect.

1. oh yeah, 3 in the first build. my bad.
2. the one issue I have with princess is that she can be mana sealed. prophets dun get mana sealed. and +def to mercs not made for tanking comes across as 'weird' to me.
3. there's no "right" or "wrong" between oracle and princess if you were to go archer main. protect stacks with princess order. oracle means you could choose which row to heal (means u can take care of ur melees if necessary)
4. Dark archers get "multi-arrow" (hits in a cross shape), archer mains get "arrow cascade" (full AoE).

Guess I'll get Oracle then. Princess heal is small from what I've heard, and it's nice to have a good heal that works for any class. Universal heal at a higher amount and the ability to seth rows>a bit of heal for one merc type and a tiny bit of def.
