Strategy Section (Original Post)
This starts the section on strategy. In this section (or sections) I will be discussing various aspects of formation, heroes and other such things. So to get the ball rolling.
Equipping your Hero
One of the most common questions I'm asked is "What should I give (Hero Name)"
So I decided to put together this guide. I will break this down by equipment type and state what types of hero should receive that equipment in what order of priority.
Horses
Highest Priority - Heroes with the following B.M's
All Out Onslaught
Strike In Line
Strike In Column
Soul Taking Arrows
Sally Outburst
Phantom Attack
Crash and Burn
Sacred Stardust
Angel's Wings
Second Highest Priority - Heroes with the following B.M.'s
Nocturnal Blitzkreig
Morale Absorption
All Out Ambush
Mutiny Outbreak
Sneak Raid
Armored Charge Attack
Third Highest Priority - Heroes with the Following B.M.'s
Morale Suppression
Pandora's Curse
Rally
Lowest Priority - Heroes without a B.M. such as seige weapons mages, healer buglers, dancers etc.
Weapons
Highest Priority - Machine troop type characters except for Cyclopes' Armored Chariot
Second Highest Priority -
Any one with troop specialty of critical strike.
Any one with a troop specialty of Valor Hit. (Check the troop type link in the first post)
Lowest Priority - The rest of your Valor attackers starting with the highest Valor stat first.
Books
Highest Priority - Healers, Mages
Lowest Priority - Everyone else
Armor/Cloaks
I'm lumping these two together as they make up your defense.
Highest Priority -
Cyclop's Armored Chariot
Heroes with Rally
Heroes with Pandora's Curse (Yes these guys should be tanks)
Strongest Attacker
Front Line Heroes
Second Highest Priority -
Buglers (these guys you want to survive)
Characters with high mobility.
Mages/Healers
Lowest Priority -
The rest.
Horns
No real Priorities here I would give your best horn (if you have one) to you strongest attacker the second to your tank. The rest don't matter.
