Heckin Balista Bois

By Soup Time

So this balista bois heckin on your bois. Whatcha do?

Step 1: Make sure your shield bois are up front in first target range of these heckers, preferbaly lvl 3 shields because they are much stronger.

Step 2: Move all your other bois behind/out of the way of these balista guys, DO NOT try to out beat them with range, they have FULL range over the whole map no matter where they are.

Step 3: Get them dead ASAP. The longer they live the more shots they can let out. You want to have your shield rushing these guys 24/7. Their arrows are unstoppable. Do not hold out on rushing them.

Tip 1: Never dear god retreat with one of these shooting at your boat. I have lost multiple commanders to this with only 1 balista boi sniping at me. Like HECK.

Tip 2: If you can hide the rest of your guys up high, or behind something (houses work well), place your shields behind an obstacle, ready to rush these guys when they land, thankfully these balista bois cant shoot through houses, and there is usually one up close to hide behind.

These are possibly the hardest guys in the game.

heck.

Okay this might be the greatest guide ever written. I'm still chuckling, and the feeling is bloody accurate. Someone in the community sent me a screenshot of their last stand, where they had faced 38 f*cking ballistas **and won somehow**.

One thing the balista dudes if they just spwaned on a boat they target the weakest troops eg archers, pikes the closer they are to the shore the more they will target the closest troops if you hide behind a building wait for them to focus on other troops and flank them DO NOT use archers when their on the boat they will kill the archers before they shoot they also dont target buildings

im gonna say it straight i found this game so dull then they threw these s o b in the game and i just uninstalled wiped my four squads because they didnt tell me what i was facing let alone i would be facing a sniper that shoots tree trunks

One time, one of these heckin ballistas heckin knocked one of my heckin shield boys into the heckin water just by the sheer force of his heckin blast.

I never fight on maps with them unless I have 2 or more elite swordsmen, Ive had an entire squad of elite swordsmen at full health wiped out by 2 or 3 of these guys
