trap medal

[TemjinGold]

With 2 training fights, my latest mage got it after fight 23.

How do you acquire and learn the trap skill for the training fights ? Is this by design or luck? Vaguely I though it took a level or two just to learn distortion spells.

I think they mean they got the trapper skill by fight x, not counting the first two fights (training).

Yep, Meta got it. I meant the fight count was 23 counting the 2 fights in training.

I suppose the quickest way would go like this:

1) make sure trap spell appears during the training. Then you can use it during last fight. There are always 3 enemy troops, with royal thorn unmovable, and its summons do not count, so that's 2 troops trapped.
2) once in debir, do hell of lot of kiting, until let's say you reach level 20.
3) go for distorsion magic 3, lots of intellect and max out trap spell; also higher magic
3) with massive mana pool by then go trapping. you can venture far beoynd debir and pick enemies.
4) you want to encounter eniemes preferably split in many stacks on battlefield, in order to increase number of traped troops.
5) pick only walkers, great majority of flyers cannot be trapped.
6) if strong enough get 4 x 1 archmage + 1 x 5th level troop. Archmagi move stacks onto traps, Brutus does the fighting.
7) this way you can get maybe 5 traps per fight, so i guess absolute minimum lies around 20-21 fights in total

What do you mean? How one could reach level 20 at Debir? After cleaning it up, Im usually level 6.

By "do hell of lot of kiting."

For quests that can be done without fighting, take a look at this:

Oh. In my current paladin game on impossible I picked up the skill really early; not sure how early but it was before the first dozen fights (the spell was like the first treasure found). I thought you all were claiming to have the third medal by that fight.

jake, we are talking trap medal III = 100 trapped troops in minimum fights, not trap medal I.
