Anti-Heavy/sniper strategies

[Mag!cGuy]

Hello!

Well, your opponent did one of the best counter to bramble: heavies. I don't think there is a way to fight against them with thorns, because have have so many hp's that you can't break their wall. ^^


Spawning heavies is most of the time a bad idea because of their mobility and their cost. Their 4 wits cost is justified by their strenght (hp and attack force), but they are so slow that you would also need a big amount of wits to move them into the action. Furthermore, the main interest of the heavies is that they can one-shot 3hp soldier: the problem is that the trend is to heal all your soldiers, and heavies are as good as soldiers when they are against 4hp soldiers, because you will anyway need 2 units to kill a 4hp soldier.

This unit is also very weak against the snipers. The main interest of heavies is to be at 5hp and be a pain for a massive 4hp soldier army (three soldiers required to kill one heavy, this is very costful), so it has to be defensive in my opinion.
