Flanking/rear attack bonuses?

[ShuiMienLung]

You can think of Brontors like the new version of Lina's 'Ice Orb' rage spirit ability from The Legend: straight line attack.

.

It is not specifically mentioned as a flanking "bonus" per se, but you can think of it as such if you wish: with very few exceptions (griffins [plain & royal], demons & executioners, black knights with Moro's crystal) all of the attacks against a troop AFTER the first one, will not be counter-attacked.

This is a good way to keep all casualties going to a single troop--easiest to resurrect, only one Turn Back Time needed, whatever--while letting other troops stay uninjured and/or getting the Attack value boosted from Frenzy for killing a stack.

(Basically, you have five stacks; one of them attacks an enemy stack and gets counterattacked; the other four attack the SAME enemy stack, and NONE of them take casualties because it has already 'used up' its counterattack.)

Orc Veterans are a prime choice to be the first stack to attack, because when the enemy counterattacks them they counter-counterattack. This gets you two whacks at reducing that stack before any of the rest of your units step into the breach.
