an advice for my build

[sineo13]

Hi...I would like to see your thoughts about this build (axe main)

:exo::lak::malehero:
:vik::witc::can:
:ora::mnk::arc:


I was trying to aim a freeze,silence stun build....perma freeze for the viking and main, while cannoneer goes to the center, followed by archer (with dark archer's ability) and silence and control the monk via silence and mana seal.AOE would be for witch and oracle of course...SoP for monk....

so, whatyathink? (I am going for northern viking as well)...or should I also replace LK with BM for added damage.Guard dispel in case HG did push through for monk...

Realize, I believe that the archer's multi arrow attack is an active skill with just damage, not adding towards the combo count for stunning. Seeings as you only have one cannon, to pull off stuns, you'd be good to wait quite a while before actually starting to stun.(pass his turn) Other than that...if you can control the monk and the damaging mercs actions, you essentially have a deadly formation. However, one wrong move may set you back pretty far. I'd say since you have an archer to silence, a LK would serve to be a better tank and a concentrated damage dealer (one-two target).

oh okay,thanks for the input...I thought that dark archer would replace the arty as it does multi attack...guess I'm back to the drawig board hehe...btw, can the mana seal of Exo target the back at once?or do I have to have a hole elsewhere for it to reach the back? thanks...

Mana seal silences all staff wielding mercs that you're opponent may have. There's always a chance to miss at lower levels but it's useful in preventing stun clearings,healing, and meteor strikes, etc. In short, you can silence the staves no matter where they are.

how about this then?I am planning to do freezelock on front,silence seal at back,then ap control in one lane....which leaves to only 2 mercs fully functional (whichever in the mid had not been hit by lightning strike). when spears are on hero level, is it true that the lightning strike would reach the back,right?altough the normal would only be two by then.alternating freezing axe and alternating lightning strike and alternating mana seal and silence should do the trick.I put a little twist not putting the axe and spear on the same row just in case a silence keep coming.last question, if I put a spartan or BT there,who should I replace?thanks...please comment again :D

The stun from freezing axe does not stop ap regen like normal stuns. From this, you get to freeze possibly 2 rows and up your damage with lightning spear. Freezing axe reduces mdef but increases def slightly. Yes by 80 upgrade, lightnign spear adds a third target. If you want control, BT is not needed. For spartan, if you insist on having that frontline spearman, he's the one to replace.

BT is for an AoE or tri axe build.

ok...so this one is good then?thank you so much...this is as good as it gets :) (AP control is more of alternating spearmen on their lightning spear, hopefully that denies the target from getting the turn at all). thanks for the info about the stun on freezing axe)
