Can't Naziri attack at range against them to prevent counterattack?

[SeriousConcentrate]

The axe bandit has throwing axes, so they can retaliate from range 2. The sword bandit can't, though.

I'm wondering if someone has designed a sword variant of the throwing weapons. We already have throwing spears and axes, why not throwing swords? Unless there are already throwing swords and I'm blind.

[SeriousConcentrate]

That's primarily Sidearms. In previous versions of the game there were a few Crushing swords that could hit at Range 1-2, though.

[Solymr]

1.Salt removed Sidearm in favor of the Hidden category though. Now the only swords that can hit at range are the magical ones and the Claymore conditionally.

[SOLDIER First]

despite the claymore being logically smaller than the zweihander

I'm not going to debate it or say whether it's a good/bad idea (we'll know which it is after a few 1.Salt games have tested it out), but I don't remember ever hearing/being told the reason why the Sidearm subcat was split off into a whole Hidden category.

[SOLDIER First]

Does it have to do with Fates at all? I feel like Fates’ implementation of Daggers is probably why.

[randomgenericusername]

Oh my god I crit stabbed a spy with my dagger as a damn HEALER. The irony.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Solymr has absolutely terrible luck when it comes to players getting crits.

Anyway, suggestions for this round is for Seraphiel to heal Virgil, Darathor can dance the two of them, and then I'll probably throw Virgil at AxeB to weaken him some more for a kill.

[randomgenericusername]

Sure, let me heal Virgil then dance me so I can heal him again.

[Azrayel]

I'm going to pop down to G23 and tentacle away that Hexman if nobody has other ideas on optimal response.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I don't remember how much RES they have, but it's more than the axe guys. I'm pretty sure Naziri has good RES (my internet is going so slow today I can't really go and check in a reasonable timeframe) so you'll probably take less damage from a counter from them than you would the axe guys, so... I don't really have any objections.

[randomgenericusername]

I think Felicia should try to kill the axeman. The hexman has just been missing the whole time and most of our characters use spears.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Agreed. The thing about dark magic is it hits hard, but it has a low hit rate. If we're lucky he'll miss on the Enemy Phase as well, but weapon triangle makes the axeman much more dangerous (Throw subcat axes also tend to have low hit, but because of the +15 Hit Rate boost against spears, he's more likely to land hits).
