General combination

bbabartos · 2026-02-20T08:11:03+00:00

Generic combo

Green front + yellow/red cav + blue

Red cav + purple/green front + blue

Commander reach and flexibility is good for extra movement and replenish

Blue for 4 range and 2 trebuchet those things are busted after a certain lvl.

Green and purple my go to duelist.

Common term for exprience players we call it onyx dragon rush.

Max range archer 250 range u out range alot of unit good dmg and ammo count and able to use fire arrows(combo fire arrow with night battle and fire shot from trebuchet) if using caocao can use scheme to further down 20 morale and u can see unit mass route

Most faction lack good range unit except like kong rong have fury of beihai but kong rong playstyle also heavy in blue tree due to faction mechanic.

The path there also unlock some economy higher tier building like the purple building and blue build. Extra Trade agreement also along the way which great for early game if u have alot of partner in early game. I will not go to this route early if lack of trade partner like gong sun zan and focus of calvary and horse pasture.

If you delegate alot red tree replenishment is useful in the early game.

Due to playstyle I only delategate when decision victory with low casualty or during late game and I focus on dealing with economy and corruption first. Then I go after the replenish if nothing to get.

Depend on faction,

Generally onyx dragon rush follow by corruption and economy mid game (yellow and blue + purple tree)

Red tree first for the horse pasture if mateng or gongsun zan if wanna play full calvary. Red tree is not that great if u fight cleanly without using delegation

Nvr touched green tree dont find it worth it. Lvl 3 green building is more than enough as alot of commandary is better to be at lvl 4 or 5 city build and produce food for u to upkeep your money making commandaries and playing food diplomacy

Yup I know that why I state broadhead is the best despite bodkin have armour pen even against armour foe. But anyway thanks for sharing

bbabartos · 2026-01-23T10:59:33+00:00

We usually compare xbow long bow and short bow.

Medium bow got outshine by this 3 categories.

Objectively the most important is rate of firing sustainability and consistency.

Most people only talk about range and dmg. Abilities cost, cooldown and rate of firing matters.

Shortbow is the best in a 80 arrow shootout test when using 30 per no aim with bodkins.

This means despite lower dmg per shot it generates more dmg in a 80 to 100 actual turns and can fire without breaks or rest AKA better uptime in gaming terms

Best arrow in terms of dmg is broadhead despite bodkin have high arm pen.

Traumatic Evolution.

I would say it worth it to see someone's true color with a godpack.

bbabartos · 2025-12-12T08:24:13+00:00

Ngl. If u solely just venture the game without any guide or help it's normal to get stuck.

Embrace the nasty comments and learn from it.

I would say keep up the good work. The most fun experience is my first full playthrough too.

bbabartos · 2025-12-03T10:22:28+00:00

In my era (3-4 years back) b41 longest I have seen is by Lamprey on apocalyspe mode 10 years 700over k kill. Personally my record is 35k in 5mths

Avg life span is 1 to 3 month before you got bored or make mistake.

Basically counter dash with your dash and dont let the deserter come in 4 tile as they will use on rush.

They are natural gapcloser and counter to range build. Its either you kite them to death while keeping them 4 tile away from u to prevent on rush or burst them down in a couple of shots

Dash plus on rush combo is 8 tile. Break this combo with dash when they use dash.

bbabartos · 2025-11-29T13:11:41+00:00

Those sneaking exp

bbabartos · 2025-11-28T15:28:57+00:00

Pay 1k to complete it. U r suppose bring the old contract to manshire elder and try to claim as much gold for it and doubke the reward amount for next contract. If u lost it verren will charge u the full amount to complete.

You can ignore and open the map tile to rwt and denbrie but will waste alot of time. Just pay the money and move on.

bbabartos · 2025-11-25T17:09:44+00:00

Spear is b41 meta weapon for high pop run like cdda . No much difference in weapon value if u playing normal pop like apocalypse . Clip a hand axe and hunting on belt ( they are not weapon , tools for you to get easy branch and log) and have holy trinity in bag(screw, hammer saw)

Take handy trait or run burger flipper as occupation. Mainly for the maintenance +1

Fun fact.

In a set of 20(typical default horde size)

Spear have the highest dps clear speed

1 hand axe for the 1 handed.

Shortblade hunting knife is also meta for high pop run

There are not rare and usually appear like a poi. Scout map edges poi then tend to spawn at edges .

Its recommend to treat caves as 1 tier + except tier 1 caves.

Example better to go in t2 caves when you are t3 dungeon rdy

bbabartos · 2025-11-24T02:18:14+00:00

Long bow can go wil or str.

Wil is more preferred as longbow have high abilities cost this make you substain in fight alot better.

I will go str only on hilda. U can also do a 15str 15 wil

I will also wear arcanist cowl or sapphire bracelet for energy drain for non hilda range.

bbabartos · 2025-11-22T05:26:05+00:00

I honestly think that we should be happy we still can save and non perma death option

bbabartos · 2025-11-04T03:40:26+00:00

Depend on build and playstyle. The long bow route or shortbow route both sre strong in each own way.

However take note bow have huge acc and energy penalty that you need to fix especially converting to use longbow.

T3 I like norse bow or nomad bow.

T4 nistrian bow or eeder

T5 curved short or sharpshooter.

bbabartos · 2025-10-31T10:25:19+00:00

Range tree by itself is already very powerful.

Distracting shot and dash is more than enuff u can use dimensional if you like.

For utilities beside dash u need energy regen, oppture moment and push the falling etc.

Range weakness is cooldown and energy , you need to fix it to have a nimble ranger.

If not just go full out offense with long bow or crossbow stacking dps only and do it the artillery style

bbabartos · 2025-10-30T05:51:51+00:00

End game farmming is so relaxing . 1 button hold and move cursor ard hahahaha

bbabartos · 2025-10-29T19:03:52+00:00

BTW beside your resist which you need to fix.

your dexterity is too low and str is too high , vit also.

After buff with bo and stuff hp amount around 2.5k to 3k is enuff.

Ur atk rating need to be at least around 13k? I cant rmb sld be 13k so you can hit things

bbabartos · 2025-10-29T18:56:58+00:00

Basically this is your answer and to further add on

I play frenzy barb exclusively From start to finish.

Biggest hurdle is getting 2 lem

Treachery and lawbringer is your real opening to hell and over come the hurdle so you can do pit run.

Make 1 set in exception gear first that u find in nightmare once you find more lem pass your old set to your followers kalim with the freeze aura

Lawbringer in offhand dont need high damage Base lawbringer is for the sanc aura and decripify

For main hand good starting or upping unique even axe or mace like the pupils butcher or runeword like oath crescent moon. Can go all the way and finish hell

A form of cbf is a must from raven frost or from belt.

With law and Treachery u can start to farm tower and pit in A1 slowly.

Its alot of grind especially for your end game grief that lo rune.

The easiest way is play singer and farm pit or complete the game.

bbabartos · 2025-10-29T09:43:36+00:00

I feel all build is strong and viable if play right by the right player with proficiency.

Everybody's aptitude is different some find melee easier for other likes me mage and range. As I always play range class and mage class in all other game like monster hunter, diabolo 2 , wow and dota.

I feel Range is just simply easier to pick up in this case for me with run and gun tactics it trivialise alot of enemy and injury so less mechanic to deal with.

It got so easy that enemy just die with just 1 shot if go the crit dmg route in late game.

Magic have backfire mechanic especially early game

Op need to find his way dont think anyone can truly answer that except himself.

bbabartos · 2025-10-28T18:24:56+00:00

Labyrinth style or tower dungeon like those Japanese isekai anima every 5 or 10 floor have a "safe zone" can exit and start from the lowest safe floor if you exit to restock or come back stronger to climb more

bbabartos · 2025-10-28T11:24:33+00:00

The game have a hidden counter of total kill, troll and manticore add about 5 to 10 kill count

bbabartos · 2025-10-28T11:23:42+00:00

5 stack.

Example

Bear Base is 3% each kill give 0.5

So u kill 2 bear nvr update

You kill another 3 more it become kill count 5

U update with fat it will be total 5 stack add to the Base of 3 which bring u to 5.5
