Default Re: how to counter Yomi ea

Yomi's biggest weakness is their lack of shields. Of course, that doesn't do Abysia any good.

It depends on what troops your facing...what's being thrown at you? Unless you're facing only the fire-immune varieties, the often overlooked "Fire Darts" (Evo2) should work nicely against Yomi. Each dart is 10 AP (!) damage AND has a chance to set the survivor on fire...really devastating against shieldless low-hp units. Each Salamander sends 4 darts each turn @ 12 fatigue. Start off with Phoenix Power and they each send 5 darts @ 9 fatigue, so they'll never tire out. As an added bonus, all your troops are immune to the darts, unlike normal arrows.

If it were me, I'd ambush the Yomi army with ~10 Salamanders spamming Fire Darts from behind ~25 PD. Your PD is excellent, and should get you a good 10 turns of Fire Darts spam before keeling-over from from fatigue. A column of ~40 Abyssian Infantry guarding the Salamders should buy you another 10 turns. That's 20 turns X 10 Salamanders X 5 Darts/Salamander = 1000 Darts @ 10 AP damage + burning effects in Heat dominion...which your own troops are immune to.

Hope that helps.
