It's Raining Cannon Balls! *formation discussion*

[jesada89237]

Heya everyone...I was thinking about a formation recently, and it is something along the lines of:

:lak::bst::exo:
:art::malehero::can:
:ora::witc::mnk:

I haven't actually been able to test this build yet, but I could imagine that it is specializes in AoE damage and stunning. The artillery man would max his deep insight, the main would max chaos wind, and the cannoneer would max smoke bomb. All of these spells would be cast whenever they're first available. After all of the debuffs are laid down, the oracle will seth's will the middle row so that they can go crazy. The lady knight and beast master are there just for a solid-ish front line, and the exorcist is there for mana sealing the opposing monk before be can get awakening off. If he starts to take too much damage, he can probably be switched with one of the cannon people for a turn or two before I can get him healed back up. The witch is there to switch places with the main character is the other team has cannons.

I like your formation, gonna be pain full when those 3 cannon get seth and start pounding the day light out of your oppontent. But would a Witch replacing your princess be a better choice as your front line is very solid having an extra big dmg aoe would only help spd up the job what your cannoneer left off.

Also having witch in front line u can save teh bt from begin magic to death which happens a lot.

I was thinking about the princess after I had finished typing that out, and realised that she wouldn't be all that useful...so replacing her with a witch does seem like a better option.

Also, I'm not really worried about "being magic'd to death" because of holy guard and hopefully a nice timing of stunning the other person's main character

You can probably use :malemain: for your main instead of *cannon* :P We know your main is a cannon because of the forum you're posting in.

Princesses are pretty much useless. I'd replace her with a viking for freeze potential and just sheer damage.

[jesada89237]

I didn't see that male hero picture there before, haha.

[aphrodite]

well im not that sure abt the idea of a viking, since its pretty much useless since every1 has a monk (cept me, monks too ugly)
also vikings has way too lil mdef, i replaced mine quite early on
i suggest adding a spartan of course later on, one of best tanks and warcry <3
until then, as for the viking, prolly better to throw in maybe a 2nd healer or sumthin to keep ur front line alive, cuz when it breaks, gg
or put another tank so u can switch positions and then heal

[Newell]

Don't even think of Spartan. No one has one yet, so take it out of the equaton.

Instead, throw your witch in the middle of the formation. This stops an effective cannon hit.

Hmm your formation seems pretty solid. But what if you had to fight flying monsters?

I was thinking about that...and I would just use my old gunners to replace both of the cannon people whenever I have to fight flying monsters.

and also insect nest problem

For pvp, it seems to be a cannon variant of a seth will build. The princess in there...ehhh I think it'd be better with a prophet so your frontline doesn't kick the dirt as fast. That is only my opinion of them.

[Indian]

princess no good?

[Ferishi]

Maybe (MAYBE) an inventor instead of the artileryman. He can summon a cannon shooting machine and then shoot stuff with his (alas, bullet-less) gun at the same time. Course, then there's no Deep Insight since your main will be busy casting Chaos Wind...

I'm also keeping in mind that the average player can't afford to upgrade two dragon crystal mercenaries ;)

Yhea i was about to suggest the inventor. I have a friend his build is a gunner main but you can implement it into a cannon main. Front Row- Exo Sword Sword(soon to be lady Knight) Middle Row Cannonneer Inventor Artie back row Oracle monk Gun

and it is disastrous for the other side one of the few to take out the lvl 90 GMs

:lak::bst::exo:
:mnk::pro::ora:
:femalehero::can::inv:

Is what I plan on running, with the only questionable slot being the inventor, I'll probably rotate him out with :witc: or :art: depending on my mood =)
