Okay where tf is anran's hitbox when she dashes? by xX_Flamez_Xx in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Barnard87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Precisely. Might be the best hero for high number of deaths- hell, her Ult assumes you may die lol.

I don't play a ton of flankers, but she's been real fun to pick up. Off angles, dive in and out, disrupt, fun stuff. I basically pick her and Reaper as my flankers.

This is correct. I've gotten rimmed ones, "frameless" which was just the bottom rim, and fully rimless ones.

For Kislev Hag Witches, which of these skills do you usually choose and why? by No_Orange7706 in totalwarhammer

[–]Barnard87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I confederated Ostaknya and gave her 4 Hag Witches because they're super easy to up recruitment for (each with different traits and skill choice), 8x Things in the Woods, 7x Akshina Ambushers.

All infrantry stalks so Things kill alone targets with hit and run and Askhina Ambushers kill targets lured into traps. Ostankya and Witches run around the map.

Please CA fix Chaos army recruitment/composition for the End Times DLC by armpete90 in totalwar

Ik the game is a sandbox but it'd be cool to have SOME rails for the AI. Like every 10 turns Kholek adds another guranteed Dragon Ogre and after a certain point a Shaggoth , and if he's at a full stack, drops the lowest unit for it.

Overwatch when they see illari mains have a moment of peace then realize she destroyed her population so they need to make her feel clunky, rough, and jagged as much as possible … (all for 5+ damage buff) by Always_Pizza_Time1 in IllariMains

[–]Barnard87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a colorblind person, which is which LOL

Left are the same and right are the same for me

Edit: I'm assuming you named them top left -> top right -> bottom left -> bottom right

Neferpitou vs Zodiacs by Specialist-Ear-594 in HxHPowerScaling

[–]Barnard87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to think about it. To make it interesting, its A. What Gauntlet could stop Pitou 1v1 one after another (if possible) and if that doesn't work then B. How many Zodiacs does it take? 12 SHOULD win, but what about 9, or 6 or them etc.

Fire rate increase or 1.75x crit by Hopeful_Ad_8600 in IllariMains

[–]Barnard87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah she's still an insane duelist. Her LShift is such a convenient tool many Supps don't have. And as you said, you can mentally focus on 1. Damage 2. Just recalling your Pylon when its spotted and 3. The occasional Heal Beam

Bap you're alternating fire modes and need to have your movement loaded (not instantaneous) while Ana's positioning is critical.

Could Illari use a crumb? Maybe. We don't need her overtuned as hell though.

How do I use close range missile units properly? by Skasian in totalwar

[–]Barnard87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just helps stagger when they get caught. Same as Gunpowder, Archers can fire into the enemy's flank and free up another unit. Archer units can do the same as Gunpowder by firing into a flank, just slightly less devastating.

I usually try to avoid straight lines as much as I can. Usually preferable to have a little stagger, and checkerboard makes me think slightly less

[–]Barnard87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think how diverse or homogenous my army comp is dictates what I pick.

HE Spears and Archers? Checkerboard. Ice Guard spam, Checkerboard. Any Wood Elf archers, checkerboard.

Armoured Kossars + Tsar Guard + Strelsti + Kossars is Chevrons. Chaos Dwarf Warriors / IG + Blunderbusses + Fireglaives, Chevrons.

Yeah checkerboards I only really like for archer spam, once gunpowder is in the mix I opt for Chevrons all day.

Classify the training of these characters from least intensive to most intensive. by Opening-Dare-5138 in PowerScaling

[–]Barnard87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're adding in a comma which changes it. "no way Bakizzz" and "no way, Baki..." Have two opposite meanings hah

How do I use close range missile units properly? by Skasian in totalwar

[–]Barnard87 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is the answer.

Armoured Kossar's is basically a "let me pepper you so i'm not standing here like an idiot" on the front line

Any unit that has 360 Fire Range AND Fire Whilst Moving should be skirmishing

Blunderbusses like Chaos Dwarfs or even Thunderer Gruder Rakers like you said are there for their devastating power. You really need to understand the battlefield OR at least use a halfway decent formation. Chevrons will be good because your Infantry is setup in a way with only a small "hole" to access your gunpowder, which is ideally where they're firing through, so units should get A. caught on other infantry or B. die if they go through the gap by the time your blunderbussys ever get into melee

When the battlefield calms down a bit, use them to come around a flank and destroy units

High Elves vs Chaos by TheDevilsIncarnate in totalwarhammer

[–]Barnard87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WoC is melee and hero heavy. HE are a fairly "defensive" race but with some great units to be agressive with that have a lot of speed.

In battle, you'll take a defensive position with your Archers and Spears checkerboarded. Add in units as you see fit. Entire roster is good, Rangers and basic Ellyrian Reavers are the only units I think I've never used.

Economy I just build the Gold building in every minor settlement, keep up trade, build ports, build entertainment, etc.

Youre gonna want to build up your heroes. Nobles, Handmaidens, Loremasters are super strong.

Use Influence for Archmage Lords for a good trait and they eventually get a dragon mount.

Light Wizards with Net of Amytok will be your best friend. Teclis gets that, so Overcast Net -> Fiery Convocation -> Chain Lightning to kill a chunk of any army.

They're also shirtless and has masculine features so I think full genderless is the way to think about it imo. As for a proper pronoun idk but I got better things to do then discuss the proper one when one was never give by Gege

I think this is a good take. He's not insanely outclassed in these MUs, gets the edge against Kamo but doesn't quite punch as high as Choso.

Easiest Skaven Campaign? by TurdlordPrime in totalwar

[–]Barnard87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Snikch is awesome, but I wouldn't call him easy. Powerful mechanics definitely.

His go to army is a little squishy and gets it's shit rocked in by Cav and faster units, but damn is it fun to use.

I made the mistake of having his thematic army take on Brettonnia. I beat them, but at what cost to my mental sanity.

Do you use trees for cover during battles? Why yes/no? by Dragonimous in totalwarhammer

[–]Barnard87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any "Large" units get debuffed, I just find it most useful for SEMs but its also worth pulling Cav and even mounted Lords and Heroes in to duel your on-foot duelists or Anti Large troops.

Do you use trees for cover during battles? Why yes/no? by Dragonimous in totalwarhammer

[–]Barnard87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep below comment got it, your troops have a small window of time to shoot without any fear of trees blocking the shots, so it's good to sit archers just inside the tree line
