Ogre-Mages - This would have to be the most used unit to kill another player. The whole idea is that you get to fortress as quick as possible, and then build an Altar Of Storms. From this building research Ogre-Mage and then Bloodlust. Now send 9 ogre-mages to your opponents base, but stop just outside. Now "Lust"** all of your Ogre-Mages and run in to their base and kill. The reason this works is that by bloodlusting an ogre, you triple its attack power, therefore meaning it is much stronger than any other infantry unit.
Sappers - This strategy is best used along with a few "Lusted" Ogre-Mages (see above). The whole idea is too run into your enemies base with some sappers and blow up as much as you can. 1 Sapper does 400hp damage to anything it hits, which makes them great for taking out farms**. Sappers are especially useful for breaking through a walled-in opponent, then you send in your army and take them out. 4 Sappers can take out your opponents fortress, stronghold and town hall, which means if you manage to do this, you will SEVERLY cripple your opponent. Also another great building to hit, is the blacksmith, as this a) Stops all Ogre production b) Stops your opponent from being able to upgrade to fortress. A great plan is too build 3 - 4 alchemists in a nearby spot to your opponent, but not where they would find them. Now start pumping out sappers and each time 4 are done, send them in to kill off some buildings or even units. See the Sapper Destruction Guide for info on what buildings take how many sappers.
Death Knights - This unit are very powerful if put into the right hands. The Death Knight, or "DK", is capable of stopping an enemies Lusted Ogres in their tracks. Death and Decay is the strongest spell that a DK can have. It casts a damaging cloud of brown and yellow spots**, which affects everything it touches (except trees). The spell covers an area as large as a town hall. A trick with Death and Decay, is too cast it on a group of units, then quickly cast it in front of your DK, now when they automatically come to kill you, they will either die or be damaged badly. A very annoying trick, is to cast Haste and Unholy Armor onto a DK, then cast Death and Decay on your opponents gold-gathering peons**. Allthough you may think that taking out other things would be more effective, think of how much gold he would lose because he doesn't have any income. If you constantly do this, it can win you the game because you can get more resources. |
