Snipers Endgame?

[sjeromy78]

Currently running Snipers with pally and triple stack of rune mages (phantom pallys for 2nd wind). So with precision, firebreathing and a bless, they're shooting 5 times 1st turn...for huge damage.

Any other ranged tricks out there, or even a better unit to do it with?

snipers what are snipers?


i know of bowmen? rangers? and elves? what's a "sniper" ? which race is it? maybe i just haven't had any spawn in my game?

*Rangers
Mistype, sniper is just one of their skills

[namad]

rangers do have fairly fabulous damage potential, does any ranged unit in the game do more ranged damage to a non-animal, non-undead, non-demon enemy unit? or do any ranged units deal base pure fire damage? (which would maybe allow better synergy with greasy mist?)


then again have you tried adding in greasey mist on targets? to combine with hellbreathe on rangers? it might be powerful?

I am fairly sure cyclops have a lot lower damage than rangers taking into account well... just having tested both compared to each other. Cyclops were a bit tankier than rangers but less good at offensive ranged damage by far.

Breaking news: combining any decent unit with overpowered phantoming runemages (or runemages + paladins' second wind) will result in profit and probably less fun after a few battles.

low hp is tedious with ressing and stuff
