After pondering for a while, Rhodes opened the properties panel.
There are many kinds of special skills related to strategy, the most basic of which is special skills and tactics.
Tactics below the expert level mainly focus on combat deployment. With the blessing of this special skill, the power of each unit under your command can be exerted to its upper limit.
Take the previous undead army as an example. Under the transformation of Rhodes, the undead army included some great demon undead, a large group of vampire kings, a few special elites, and a large number of ordinary corpse wizard kings. Not only that, those core forces were not corpses.
The creatures of the Witch King are also blessed by the power of the Ghost King's cloak, and can release the cloud of death like the Corpse Witch King.
If you want to command rationally and bring out the strength of all legion members, tactics are indispensable special skills. This is why Rhodes appointed Farese as commander.
According to Rhodes' prediction, Farese possesses at least master-level tactics, plus his own good leadership skills. Although he is not a hero, he is a natural commander. This is also the first time Rhodes
The reason for choosing him.
If Rhodes were to take command, it would not be difficult for the legion members to fight, but he would not be able to formulate sophisticated tactics. Speaking of command, he would only rely on the strength of the legion members to destroy the enemy.
With the special tactical skills, commanding will become extremely easy. All kinds of exquisite tactics that combine the right time and place can appear in Rhodes' mind at any time. However, Rhodes thought about it and finally gave up on improving tactics.
The greatest effect of special skills and tactics is to minimize one's own casualties through reasonable formation of troops.
However, for Rhodes, loss is nothing at all. Under the influence of Death Domain, if the enemy cannot find a way to restrain it, it will not be possible to completely kill any undead creature in the legion. Because of this,
Tactics mean little to him.
Compared with arranging troops, what Rhodes values more is the special bonuses that can be obtained after the tactics are upgraded to the top.
Just as the ability bonus brought by the wisdom spell after it reaches its peak, not only can it be easier to learn fifth-level magic, but more importantly, the wisdom spell can greatly expand wisdom and detect previously ignored details.
In a sense, top-level wisdom can replace the effectiveness of tactics. Tactics is the use of wisdom, and when it comes to the use of wisdom, what is more appropriate than wisdom?
The additional bonuses brought by high-level tactics no longer involve basic command tactics, but higher-level strategic decisions. No matter what level of tactics, they cannot overcome the limitations of the rank, so that
It is an impossible task for an ordinary first-level creature to defeat a powerful legendary enemy, but it can win the entire battle through reasonable planning and preparation, transporting troops and abandoning children.
However, all tactics cannot escape the use of wisdom. Although wisdom cannot cover all the effects of tactics, the legendary wisdom in Rhodes is enough to help him face most situations.
There are many treasures that can improve tactics. In Erathia, there is no shortage of commanders related to tactics. However, treasures that can improve wisdom are extremely rare. Even long-famous mages may not necessarily master the basic wisdom. Legend
Super wisdom spell, the effect is more powerful than Rhodes imagined.
A special skill that can assist Wisdom in strategic planning from the side, and can also bring powerful bonuses. Rhodes thought for a long time, eliminating wrong options one by one in his mind.
The reconnaissance skill is not good, the eagle eye skill is not good, engineering is not good, and the mystery skill is not good... Rhodes thought about it, and it seems that there is no special skill more suitable than tactics.
In desperation, just when Rhodes was about to improve his tactics, he suddenly thought of something. A special skill that he had always ignored might be able to work wonders at this moment. Information about offensive techniques entered Rhodes' mind. As a special skill that melee professionals must master, the bonus brought by offensive skills is very simple, that is, it increases the damage caused by melee attacks, and can be superimposed with special skills related to weapons such as swordsmanship.
When Rhodes chose the offensive technique, what he valued was not the damage bonus brought by the offensive technique, but the additional effects brought by high-level offensive techniques.
If ordinary tactics are a balanced use of the troops under your command, attacking while taking into account defense, then when offensive tactics are combined with wisdom surgery, an offensive that is several times more violent than conventional tactics will be launched. It is a kind of all-out effort that ignores all defenses.
A fierce offensive, and only offensive techniques can bring about such an offensive.
Corresponding to the offensive skills, there are also special defensive skills, but blind defense is not a consideration for Rhodes. Rather than defending, Rhodes prefers to take the initiative.
Each special skill has its most unique effect. Offensive skills can not only be used when holding weapons and facing each other. Whether it is a collision of momentum, a confrontation of words, or even a confrontation between two armies,
All offensive techniques can show their abilities.
Being a person with top-notch offensive skills, his whole person is like a sharp blade unsheathed. He has nothing to do but keep attacking. He will either cut off all obstacles in front of him or be broken by something harder.
Rhodes recalled that the hero Tanan in the first expansion pack, his hero specialty was offensive skills. Offensive skills made his barbarian troops invincible in the war. Even the powerful crystal dragon would be split by his axe.
Unwilling to retreat, he insisted on going his own way, trying to completely destroy Brakada. In the end, he was buried in the snowy field. Even the corpse was sealed by the mage and was not seen again until not long ago.
Rhodes had some understanding of the power of offensive skills from Tanan before, and this is exactly what he needs now.
Only with the blessing of offensive skills, his undead army can penetrate deeply into the weak mage empire like a sharp blade, seize the opportunity before the end, and gain the power to compete with the demon army.
Compared to balanced tactics, all-or-nothing offense is more favored by Rhodes.
In addition, by improving the offensive technique, you can also obtain the effect of the offensive technique itself, that is, a substantial increase in melee damage. For the current Rhodes, that is exactly the damage increase he needs. Rhodes will not be dissatisfied.
The damage bonus on the body is too much.
Even if he ends the mercenary mission and fights as his original identity, he can still receive damage from offensive spells when using Titan Arrows to launch close attacks.
Thinking of this, Rhodes finally made the decision to allocate skill points to offensive skills.
