Forum:Arcanists advice

From FunOrb Wiki

It's fairly obvious that some people want to give advice on strategy and tactics in Arcanists, but the main namespace isn't an appropriate place to do that. Here, however, you can feel free to be subjective and to post non-encyclopaedic content. OrbFu 13:39, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

The simplest way to win games - though I hate to admit it - really does seem to be being a noob who uses cheap tactics. For example, using a spellbook consisting of spells so annoying and overpowered that many people resign upon discovering how cheap you are. My personal favourite: repeating drowning, followed by, depending on teleport location:

• trapping moves (Mud Ball, Rock Slab, Vine Bridge) then overpowered moves (Lightning Rod, Ice Bomb, Shock Bomb, Ice Shards, Mega Boulder)
• targeted moves (Fissure, Volcano, Aura of Decay)

This almost always results in either a win or the opponent(s) resigning.--The last username left 20:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

First turn tower, second turn shield, third turn aura, fourth turn ice shield with a blizzard on top. From this hiding point, cast down every aerial spell you can bring - you should have at least half a dozen such spells. Include Maelstrom. Enemys' Maelstrom and flying flashers drowning you from below can be a problem; multiplayer games generally sort the problem of those who teleport next to you and shock shield. If you get fissured, be aware that if the tower starts dropping before it loses all of its health (i.e. if the ground under the tower is destroyed before the tower itself) the tower will be invincible until it hits the floor; more often than not, the force of the fissure will conveniently hold your tower up until it's finished. When it lands it will create an ice platform (assuming it's an ice tower). JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot 18:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Easy way to get wands>>>>>>

Simply cause the most damage to yourself. Easy as pie.

If you are about to lose the game say if u had 10 health and no towers and they had 100 health suicide yourself with megaboulder or a strong bomb spell it could at least end up as a draw.

[edit] Easy wand-farming

An easy way to get wands is to use the Stone book. When paired with Tower of Light, Tower of Darkness, and any other level 1 towers/level 2 towers with a useful level one spell, for example Tower of Light, with Healing Sphere. Another tactic is to simply lich, and have a dragon (in other words, not the whole book, but the best dark spells, and the most useful fire/storm spells. Then, proceed to harass your opponent in tower of darkness, and when you can, lich and spawn a fire dragon. Then transform the dragon into an undead dragon, and you will have most damage (due to taking the dragon's health down with aura spells) and dragon master (since you used a dragon for that long, and should use it wisely). That is usually 2-3 wands, and pretty much garuntees a win. --Archmayge 17:25, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
