The easy win.

I'm not a very bright person, but this game is not seriously that hard. With the right tactics you can always go far even if you are not very good with tactical thingies like me, this might help you a little in your suffering.

Introduction
Hey this is my first guide.
Don't expect much from me please :x.
Your best friends.
First of all, you need to be able to identify who is your friend and foes.

The first friend you will cuddle them all day long is the obstacle.
The obstacle will provide cover for your tactics and even unpassable walls for the enemies. Utilizing the obstacle greatly will be your best friend.

The second friend is the warrior. He is downright broken...

The third friend is the carving. Some carving are more significant than other.

The fourth friend is GOLD. Amassing gold fast means EZ CARVING and LEGEND GEARS.

The last friend you must find is the conjunctions. The path where you can place your units strategically and mitigate the damage as much as you can.
The obstacles.
The obstacle will be your cuddly best friend who you will have to rely on in your every runs.
You can just slap your unit beside an obstacle and BAM, now only 3 units can hit you.
Now try again and slap your unit beside 2 obstacles and now only 2 melee units can hit you.
You can even place your friend beside you beside 2 obstacles and now only one unit can hits you now.
Mitigating your damage taken by exploiting the obstacle is your best friend.
The warrior.
Do you know what is broken in the game?
The Warrior.
Why use archer or mage when you can just use a tanky 5 range with 2 base damage radius that hits and counter everything in range unit instead?
The easiest win you can do is by exploiting the archer warrior instead.
The 2nd and 3rd morph in warrior will show how exploitable the warrior is with their ranged attacks.
You can just braindeadly spam tablets on the warrior and win sometimes even.

Here are some notable tablets for the warrior to carry your run.
- any tablets that increase the range.
- any tablets that increase his damage.
- any tablets that induce after kill effect.
- any tablets that add movement.
- any of the warrior's legendary tablets.

Always choose warrior's tablet over other legendary tablets unless you know how to use them properly.

But hey, ''Warrior is just a unit, how can A UNIT among three carries the run?''
Well, the morph 3 warrior can just straight up solo the hard 10 boss in just 3 turns without ''attack all enemies in range tablet''

But why is the warrior so op?
- tanky by its own nature.
- boast low risk high reward gameplay due to armor stacks.
- high dps with proper setting.
- easy to use.
- morph 1 and 2 is very hot

The trick is try amassing your resource into the warrior and believe in him that he will carry you.
The Carvings.
Some carving can have higher impact on your run than others.
The early carvings that you should choose are those that increase your gold.
The second tier carvings that is effect is the 30 gold rock, the 2 tiles first turn movement, the 2 consecutive first turn, the 6 damage to all enemies, and the gear slot.
The last tier is practically all good except anything to do with the tablets (refresh is half pass).

The early carvings:
Gold is basically the thing you needed most in this game.
You use gold to unlock carvings and buy gears.
*notable mention*

The money bag
6 gold after every fight? where to sign me up

8 gold increase if win in 5 turns
If you play agressively enough, any fight can be ended in just 5 turns.
Simply amazing

The second tier carvings:

30 gold stone head
This carving is just amazing.
You can just pay 30 gold instead of any other 100-ish to skip to the last tier carving.
Simply amazing.
S tier carving.

2 tiles movement on first turn.
- help you to get in position faster.
- strike first to mitigate the damage the enemies can do to you.

Consecutive turns on your first turn.
Same with the 2 tiles movement carving.

6 damage to all enemies.
Kill enemies faster

Gear slot
Pretty niche, but very useful when NO TABLETS THAT GIVE YOU GEAR SLOT COME AT ALL.

Last tier carving:
By the time that you have amassed your wealth and get to this tier even with the help of OP 30 gold rock, you will find yourself in stage 3 already. As a result naturally anything to do with tablets are pretty much very niche at this point unless there are any tablets you are very desperate to find for your build. Just get yourself a dang op sword or bow. AVOID STAFF AT ALL COST, NO NEWBIE FRIENDLY.

*note for the healing carving*
just choose as you see fits, same goes for the healing tablets too.
Gold.
I have to say more? Gold is practically your carving and add more chance in getting more great gears, period.
Conjunctions.
The same reason as the obstacles, but in more advanced terms, identifying the conjunction can help you gets the enemies to dance around you and mitigate the dmg done to your team.
The AI in this game according to my 10 hours speculation is like this.
They will try to move into the TILE that they can hit your units if possible, but if that spot IS OCCUPIED BY OTHER ENEMIES, they will find another tile.
Thus if you prepare your unit in a 2 tiles available conjunction, there will be only 2 units hitting you, and if those spots are already occupied by the enemies in their turn, they will just go around the world to get to the other spot in your back. You can just take your time and finish the mobs in front of you and move your units accordingly to make them dance around you and the obstacles, spectacular.
Side tips.
There are something you should avoid though. Something really scary....
THE MAGE.
Practically your mage unit.
She's very very very very very bad (for newbie and dumb person like me ofc)
She CAN'T ATTACK if she MOVES.
Her tablets always got conditions most of the time.
Her morphs are very weird to use.
Just use her with 1st morph as an obstacle to block your archer from dying and help the warrior tanking.

and remember...
MAGE IS BAD (at least for me)

Well, all my original wins were from the initial release. I'm replaying the game now to try out the new content. I guess my own guide would be just like yours, except swapping "warrior" with "mage". Actually, warrior's cool to hold off the enemies until my mage gets beefed up. (Killing 5 enemies every turn with the light priestess... it's just too good!) The character I don't get much use out of is the archer...

This is actually a decent guide, especially compared to the competition, which is none. I'd like to see how other people win this game, but unfortunately it's something of a hidden gem...

you guys know this guide is like gods only know how many update ago and probably at least one year old with no update right?

I donno man, almost all my wins have been with the mage. She can nuke the whole map in like 3 turns if you set her up right. 'course, you're weak and vulnerable until you get the right tablets...

WHAT? You can deffinitely win with an overcharged warrior, but don't sleep on the Mage. With the right tablets it can be the biggest damage dealer. Her legendaries are downright broken and the Light Mage is one of the very few units with innate AoE attacks.

I definitely agree with you that Warrior, especially the second variation, is extremely easy to make broken, especially with Whirlwind or any damage radius buff. However, I will say that I've had runs where archer and mage also get pretty nutty with the right legendary tablets, carvings, and gear.

Overall the game seems to reward stacking all of your carvings and gear onto one unit, and warrior happens to be the easiest unit to stack good abilities on.

i dont know why they called the game WarriorS of the Nile insted of Warrior of the Nile because 90 percent of the work comes from the warrior xD
KusoLP 18 Aug, 2020 @ 6:57pm 
one of the best tactics is rush and well, i think she dont know what this is
[WHO]Ignes, "Remembrance?"  [author] 18 Aug, 2020 @ 5:41pm 
Yeah she kinda got too much restrictions to be good, and even when the conditions for her are met, her peak performance is no where near the other two.

ive had a few funnyn archer runs but mage is unusable, maybe if she could walk and move
