- Don't die. Honestly it is your #1 priority. You are the "protector" of the specialized fighters, and make up the back bone of your force. If you die, the rest of your unit will quickly follow.
- Let the support fighters do the killing. Don't take a risk that will get you killed (see #1). Give "safe shots" that will keep you well protected and open up your opponent for your units support fighters to take advantage of.
- Stop Projectiles. Knock down and stop projectiles with your shilled. In most rule sets only shields can block arrows leaving many of your teammates (who don't have shields) vulnerable, often they won't have time to get out of the way, or don't see it coming at all.
- Work with a support fighter. Don't think of support fighters as a crutch, they will help you live longer and get you more kills than if you were to go it alone.
(As always, feel free to add your 2¢ or disagree with me, I am always willing to learn)
I'm assuming shilled = shield
ReplyDeleteReally if you want to increase your game at being a front line fighter 1) Have a big shield, , 2) don't swing, 3) wear a helmet, 4) Wait till a lucky skirmisher hooks around the enemies/your backs take out four guys, and watch your line collapse. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.
ReplyDeleteoh...
ReplyDelete4b) wait till one side gets a huge advantage via spear/arrow/glaive superiority.
