Ardus versus KariThorn

By Qark, in Runewars Battle Reports

My second battle report is done. I'm using the same list as the previous one but this time playing against humans.

Nice battle report, keep them coming. As I said in the other post, variants of that basic Daqan build I think are one of the strongest armies in the game right now. Put yourself in your opponents shoes in that game and look back at your army, what scares you? What are the biggest threats? Unfortunately for me when I look at it, not a whole lot.

Id consider consolidating those lancers into a 2x2 with mcw/ci for a mini star, or 1 2x1 and two singles. I’d definitely drop wind rune off lancers completely. I think wind rune is only good on units with a white action modifier, so you have flexibility. You having wind rune and simo telegraphs that you’re going to wanting to take that init6 action, a lot. Intercepting that unit init5 or sooner or init6 w/initiative is not going to be difficult.

the reanimates offer a descent threat in this army and will take a little bit to chew through, but if I just keep them at bay, I can focus down everyone else and roll up the whole army. It’s not full MSU to swarm your opponent, and most of the units provide minor threats but don’t have the staying power to hold up to damage.

you need another big threat, like death knights or consolidated lancers. 2 tray lancers and Ardus can’t survive long enough to do that.

That is very solid advice. Ill post another battle report after I have made a few changes and given it a few practice runs. Thanks!
