Aearch

Name: Aearch

Aearchs are mages who have studied the skies for centuries and learned to manipulate them. They gather clouds and send bolts of lightning down with heaven's fury. It has been said that lightning never strikes the same spot twice...but does it?

HP:37
Armor: 0%
Blocking: 40%
Recovery: 2
Movement: 3
Power: 5/10/16
Range: 1 space, 4 diagonal
Attack Pattern: A=Aearch, O=Empty Space X=Space Aearch can attack
XOOOX
OOOOO
OOAOO
OOOOO
XOOOX

When the Aearch attacks, it deals 4 unblockable damage to 1 of the four squares it can attack. On your next turn, it deals 10 unblockable damage to any unit in that square. On the turn after that, it deals 16 unblockable damage to any unit in that square. Multiple squares may be affected by the Aearch at once. The Aearch may target an empty square. The Aearch may target a square that is still in the process of being attacked by a previous attack.

I think the attack power is really creative and i like it. Its well thouhgt out but it seems overpowered. Only 2 recovery, 37 hp's w/ 20 armor. This is almost as high as a knight and it has higher hps than a pyro, not to mention more power. Can the attack strike an open square?

this idea is interesting, although the initial attack is too much, it shouldnt be able to beat a pyro in one string of attacks - id say 15, 9, 4 should do better, as the unit in that square waits it gets pounded AS OTHER THING ATTACK as well, you basically get a free second and third attack during recovery - although lining up an attack is a chalenge

if the power was reduced it would be ok, but armor for a mage is soso

the range is good, not too large at all

good idea, could use a bit of refining (thats good, even the best units are collectively made better) -

oo i think i have a better option for the attack: Twisters - it still goes along the lines of weather, but resides over the single square for 3 turns, dealing less damage as it fades ;)

I see you allready killed the armor. Definitely drop the initial to 15, but other than that I like it.

It's not that good. First of all, all unstoned mages can be killed by a lightning ward in one hit, and have no armor. I see you tried balancing it out with 4 and 9 unblockable damage. 4 damage with most armored units is 2 damage, basically nothing. The attack pattern is good. Better luck next time.

mage, first mages do damage over larger areas than one square, and since this only damages ONE square it would be useless if kileld by lw in one shot

the attack power overall is less (area wise especially) and 30 hp would render it far too weak, as the MAX total damage this can dish is no more than 29 (adjusted for 15 inittal power)

mmm lets see the witch can do 106 power!!! mm lets compare 29 - 106, yes the witch does more

pyro - 60 max damage - lets compare 29 - 60 mmm

it has to be more capable in other areas for what it lacks in brute power

i cant help if u cant see that a good unit is not always the basic - its hard for some to understand

Just...no.
I will change initial power to 15. Also, the Aearch can target an empty square.
