I'll be releasing a mini-teaser per day leading up to the demo. Today:
Meet the Pirate!
There are three basic classes: Bowman, Bandit, and Fencer. When your units become proficient in these classes, they'll be able to advance to other classes. The
Pirate is an advanced class. You'll get a single Pirate on your team in the demo.
Every class has a special ability. For example, the Bowman never misses in combat. What does our man the Pirate do, you ask?
He walks on water. Aww yeah.
Remember, though, that a lone unit is easily defeated by a well-supported enemy. So while cutting across the water can provide good opportunities for ambushes, it's more often useful in situations where you want to squeeze in an extra support unit.
Here, Janus gets support from the Pirate. Pirates have good defense, but if your Pirate is low on HP, it may be wise to stick him in the water, where he'll be safe (usually).
Ah, and here's where the pirate really shines. Chokepoints like bridges severely reduce the number of support units you can squeeze in. Having a Pirate on your team means having one more support unit than your enemy.
Phantom Tactics: The
Pirate is coming soon!
