Co-ordinated Knight Raid: Unstoppable?

I didn't want to boast by saying I got +6 once too.

 

I think pro archery is being able to kill multiple knights at close range (through jumped potshots, head-smashing, irregular arrow fire etc). That's my definition of a pro archer though lol

My definition of a pro knight would be their manipulation of bombs and being able to win at the whole psychological warfare when you have two knights shielding each other.

I'm not really pro anything... but I'll say that from 3 months of in game experience that I am proficient at being able to analyze and judge who is good and who isn't.

In regards to the whole co-ordinated knight raid being unstoppable... pretty much any tactic that is coordinated against an uncoordinated team is unstoppable... just saying.

P.S. I agree with knights being the bread winners of the family. The archers are like little kids trying to shine right now but can't. A tactic that could technically work is a pure archer/builder combo... technically, but you'd need some damn good archers to cover those builders while they hack away at stuff (what the knight already does) and build defenses for the archers (who would supplement the attack power of the knights). But being a knight in my opinion is the most efficient way of doing things.

 

Sorry for being a tard, but I've got +9! MWAHAHA

 

I already told you i'm already hampered enough by stuns as it is. If you want a gulf between noobs and pros, take away my upon landing stun so I can actually prep bombs for surprise attacks. Even the best players are affected by stuns all the time, the difference is they do better with their 2 or 3 hearts than other players.

 

Stunned while landing on the floor in general, it doesn't do any damage. By removing restrictions such as stuns like this, you will take longer to reach the skillcap, because you'll have more options available to you, some are better than others. Putting in restrictions lowers the skillcap because everyone has to abide by these restrictions in order to stay alive.

 

I honestly dont care, but a well placed kamikaze is no match!

 

Shame on me, my record is useless now.

 

Certainly. There is no better way of winning than to forget about archers and builders. Just take a knight and rush towards the enemy base destroying everything that gets in your way and spamming bombs. It has also happened to me to be losing horribly and suddenly join a horde of knights that would obliterate the enemy base. Sadly, the best defense is 100% knights, and the best offense is 100% knights.

The problem with knights is the speed at which they dig through the defenses, at which they destroy virtually everything they come across (even what builders cannot, bedrock ).The defensive structures should be precisely the weakness of a melee class. Additionally, the knight is the only class that doesn't need to "prepare" before battle (crafting arrows or gathering resources).
As a builder you can spend lots of time finding stone and buiding a wall just to see how it is destroyed in less than 10% of the time it took to build. You can spend lots of time finding stone and building a pit just to see one knight taking off all the spikes in 3 seconds, and later digging a way out of it. Into your base, to top it all off.

I believe knights should take a bit more of time to destroy stone, say +15% time, and a lot more to dig into dirt with a sword, say +40%. That way builders would really be useful in destroying the enemy base, instead of just hacking it down with swords. Bombs should also be taken into account for this problem.

 

I laugh at this thread. "Archers suck" Tell me that after you get shot while trying to jump on someone.

Archers are the most under rated class. Archers can Shoot across some maps and kill builders and what not. Plus the fact that archers can take out knights fighting eachother just makes it that more viable for war.

 

Archers could kill, but that was relativelty useless. The death count literally meant nothing. Knights could kill quicker too, so Archers did suck(Usually).

 

Yes archers are fine. A good lobber is a pain in the ass if you have crappy builders

 

new update
-> have X respawns per team
-> archers have best k/d
-> archers are not useless.

Also LOL@ knights now - they are so fucking useless (compared to previously). Theres just hordes of knights camping mid waiting for a builder to come along to let them progress; its going to take awhile for people to realize they don't need to be all knights now.

 

Thats because most of the builders are still playing defensively or minecrafting the whole damn time. I love playing offensive builder. Give it time, the updates not been out 24hrs yet even.
