After pondering, rod opened the property panel.
There are many kinds of special skills related to strategy, of which the most basic is special skills and tactics.
Tactics below the expert level mainly focus on combat deployment. With the blessing of this special skill, we can give full play to the strength of each arm under our command to their upper limit.
Take the previous undead Legion for example. Under the transformation of rod, there are some big demon undead, a large group of vampire kings, a few special elite, and a large number of ordinary corpse witch kings in the undead Legion. Not only that, those creatures whose core power is not the corpse Witch King are also blessed by the power of the ghost King's cloak, which can release the cloud of death like the corpse Witch King.
If you want to command reasonably and give full play to the strength of all Legion members, tactics is an essential special skill, which is why rod appointed farezer as commander.
According to rod's prediction, farezer has at least master level tactics, coupled with his own good leadership skills. Although he is not a hero, he is a natural commander, which is why rod chose him for the first time.
It's not difficult for Rhodes to command and let the members of the Legion fight, but they can't formulate exquisite tactics. It's just to rely on the strength of the members of the Legion to destroy the enemy.
With special tactical skills, the command will become extremely easy. All kinds of exquisite tactics combined with favorable weather and geography can emerge in rod's mind at any time, but rod thought about it and finally gave up the promotion tactics.
The most effective way to control the loss of troops is to arrange special tactics to minimize the loss of troops.
However, for rod, the loss is not a thing at all. Under the action of the field of death, if the enemy can't show restraint, he can't completely kill any undead creature in the Legion. Because of this, tactics are of little significance to him.
Compared with the arrangement of troops, rod pays more attention to the special bonus that can be obtained after the tactics are upgraded to the top.
Just like the ability bonus brought by the promotion of wisdom to the top, it can not only learn level 5 magic more easily, but more importantly, wisdom can greatly expand wisdom and detect the details ignored before.
In a sense, top wisdom can replace the effectiveness of tactics. Tactics is the use of wisdom. What is more suitable than wisdom?
The extra bonus brought by high-level tactics is no longer the basic command tactics, but higher-level strategic decisions. No matter what level of tactics, they can't cross the limit of rank and let ordinary first-order creatures defeat powerful legendary enemies. This is an impossible task, but they can win the whole battle through reasonable planning and preparation, troop transportation and abandonment.
However, all tactics cannot escape the use of wisdom. Although wisdom cannot cover all the effects of tactics, rod's legendary wisdom is enough to help him face most situations.
There are many treasures to improve tactics, and there is never a lack of commanders related to tactics in elathia, but treasures that can improve wisdom are extremely rare. Even famous mages do not necessarily master primary wisdom. Legendary wisdom is more powerful than rod thought.
He can assist wisdom in strategic planning from the side, and he can bring strong bonus special skills. Rod thought for a long time and eliminated wrong options one by one in his mind.
Reconnaissance is not good, Hawk Eye is not good, engineering is not good, mystery is not good... Rod thought about it, it seems that there is no more suitable special skill than tactics.
In desperation, when rod was going to improve his tactics, he suddenly seemed to think of something. A special skill that has been ignored by him may play a miraculous effect at the moment. Information about offensive techniques entered rod's mind.
As a special skill that must be mastered by melee professionals, the bonus brought by attack is very simple, that is to increase the damage caused by melee attack, and can be superimposed with special skills related to weapons such as swordsmanship.
Rod chose the offensive technique and valued not the damage bonus brought by the offensive technique, but the additional effects brought by the high-level offensive technique.
If ordinary tactics are the balanced use of the arms under their command, and the attack takes into account the defense at the same time, then when the attack technique is combined with the wisdom technique, it will launch an attack several times more violent than the conventional tactics. It is a fierce attack that ignores all defense and puts all your eggs in one basket. Only the attack technique can bring such an attack.
Rod doesn't like offensive skills, but he doesn't like defensive skills.
Each special skill has its most unique effect. It is not only when holding weapons and fighting against each other that the effect of offensive art can be brought into play. Whether it is the collision of momentum, the confrontation of words, or even the confrontation between the two armies, the offensive technique can show its ability.
With the existence of top offensive skills, the whole person is like a sharp blade out of its sheath. He has nothing to ask for except continuous attack, either cutting off all obstacles in front or being broken by harder things.
Rod recalled that Tanan, the hero in the first expansion film, was good at attacking. The offensive technique made his barbaric troops invincible in the war. Even the powerful crystal dragon would be split by his axe. He refused to retreat. He insisted on his own way in an attempt to completely destroy bracada. Finally, he collapsed in the snow. Even the bones were sealed by the mage and didn't see the sun until a short time ago.
For the power of offensive technique, rod knows something about Tanan before, and this is what he urgently needs at present.
Only when the mage's army is weak and unable to seize the opportunity, can he gain the opportunity to attack the Empire.
Compared with the balanced tactics, the desperate attack is more favored by rod.
In addition, after improving the attack technique, you can also get the effect of the attack technique itself, that is, a significant increase in melee damage. For rod now, that is exactly the damage increase he needs. Rod won't think of too much damage bonus.
Even after finishing the mercenary mission, when fighting as he was, he can also receive the damage bonus of attack by using the close attack launched by the arrow of Titan.
Thinking of this, rod finally made a decision and assigned skill points to attack.
