Blink

[Nikelaos]

if it was AOE or battlefeild wide it could be useable, i can see something like that used as a sorta regenerating thug rotation wheel, some thugs will be blinked at the enemy, some will be blinked far and for those five turns you would see some thugs getting an all important rest to regenerate and others brought in to the action when they were blinked far away before and so are fresh and ready.

however this doesn't exist right now so oh well.

Alternatively, have the communion master cast Power of the Spheres. Best use of one pearl.

I always get Evo1 pretty early, so I've never had a problem with Blinking slaves. They seem perfectly happy to spam Starfires.

They spam starfires, when enemies are in range, but when the enemy is routing they will blink (and if you have lots of S1 mages one will blink in the path of the routing PD). Also power of the speres will only trigger, if the AI considers the enemy army strong enough, so your mages will still blink into PD.

having a banner for each communion member is quite expensive don't you think?

surely it would be better spent put into summons and other rituals?

You only need the one banner; the effect is battlefield wide.

Actually... does anyone know the exact mechanics for the spell Blink? Does it teleport you completely randomly? Or is there actually a pattern. If there is a pattern, it might be possible to exploit it with a single casting of Blink. For example, if it wouldnt blink you within a range of AoE 10 of your starting position, then putting a lbinker in the back of your field drives up the probability that it will appear in the rear of the enemy field.

I think it's the other way around. You don't normally gain fatigue from just running around (there are exceptions eg. if you are berserk).

If you use a BE that takes a turn to cast so you're only casting blink 4 times max anyway. Not exactly very useful.
