general tips n tricks for new players

erm... what exactly is map kiting? tried to figure it out but everyone just keeps talking about it like it's something as basic as clicking on the screen to make your character move there

[Zechnophobe]

It is where you run near to a bad guy defending a map, and get him to chase you for a while. And then once he has chased you for a while, you steal the map he was guarding without fighting him.

Or

A way to make the game a lot easier without triggering the 'cheater' flag. Since you get to Islands you aren't strong enough to actually fight on, but that have free xp, gold, runes etc, it makes the game substantially easier until very far in. Some Kiting players claim to get to level 15 before fighting even a single battle.

Level 21 even before fighting your FIRST battle?! Wow...

But is this a feasible path to take if you are going for a 7 days game?

[Elwin]

Yes 21 before first battle. But no u will not end game with 7 days then. i would say around 12. I ended in day 17 but i did hell a lot traveling from island to islands just to kill any demon/undead army to free moro.

Goduerza: depends which one

Thanks for the reply. I'm on an impossible paladin game right now, goal is 7 days no-loss, and looking into saving a couple of hours early on by initially skipping Bolo and doing Scarlet-Rusty-Verona. But coming from Scarlet and going to Rusty all I see are Lethal and Invincible enemies.

Just trying to see my options on how to make this path easier, but kiting doesn't seem to be an out for me.

This.

I would not recommend doing this on your first playthrough though, it spoiled alot of things for me personally anyhow.

Is it possible to kite troops who stay firmly next to the map they're guarding?
