You can try this, its only a suggestion tho. Get another spearman so you can actually burn several characters AP with2 spearmen. Or remove the spearman and get a viking and add another gunner, or remove the gunner and add 2 cannoner.

i ll say get a gunner first , hehe
i dun like viking .. so ...
its better to have an axe main if u really wanna play freze
and ... dun think 2 cannons better than 2 gunnners .. coz cannon cant atk flying mobs ....
Kazukage
Oct 9 2008, 01:05 PM
well its just a suggestion tho
hence they have the the mercenary room for storing spare mercs, having 2 cannoners are good boss fights (if theres no flying mobs around) since 2 cannoners deals a lot stunning in wide are. But i still like using more than 2 gunners
Balza
Oct 9 2008, 05:26 PM
hehe , put 2 gunners and 1 cannon , then brutal them .. it should be fun
when u got over 40 , u ll see more and more flying mobs , and .. u might wanna have a rather high lvl of gunner that time
but .. hehe .. as being said .. this is just a suggestion only too

Oct 9 2008, 05:30 PM
Having you said like that, looks like I have to rely on gunner after this, I'll keep my cannoner tho, just in case

Alvi @ get a cannoner is much better IMO. Not only they can atk in a cross range, also their skills helps in looking at their health, not to mention damage per round.
Here's a tip, it's useful especially in PvP. If one of their member is dying soon(very low health), cast deep insight(or dark seed or hex or something similar), once their turn starts, their member will die. And if you're lucky that the member is suppose to move, now that he's dead, one less enemy to damage u(4 enemies to move). Thus making ur mercs(or main) survive longer.

hmm
Sword[Main]---Sword---BT/something that is good in tanking
Gun---Gun---Gun
Shaman---Monk---Dmg dealer/Buffer
3 Guns...any comments? Swordies will tank in front while Guns deal dmg from the back
Cannon maybe I'll consider to get 1 but uhh...Viking my guildies mentioned that viking gets soft around 60+ not an ideal char to tank tho...
is BT good for tanking? I'm thinking to drop spear and take BT
Balza
Oct 9 2008, 10:10 PM
hm .. bt is one decent tank
well .. its better stay with no spear than 1 spear
and ... i dun like 3 gunners too ... hehe , need a little variation , put a cannon there
Kazukage
Oct 10 2008, 11:43 AM
Its all depends on how you like you variation of mercs in a way. Some players find it interesting to play all melee mercs or all range mercs, used to stumble with those kind of variation back in CBT2 and CBT 3.
1 thing for sure that I found out is, is your combination of mercs is PVE wise, or PVP wise, or for both? Having a combination that satisfies both condition is very hard indeed, because it depends on how your opponent combination as well.
So if you want to play using Spearman, than have 2 of them in your combination instead of 1, cuz the the skill that drains AP is actually work if using with2 spearman. If you want to more then 3 gunners, might as well the frontline are swordsman cuz they are the pure tank. If wanna use viking, its advisable not to put him in a tanking position.
You can pretty much figure out various combination if you ask around, and then can decide which one you want or create your own

Oct 11 2008, 12:34 PM
your team lack of tankers... thats why monk die fastest.
hmm lvl 40 should I take bt or my 3rd gunner 1st? O.o
Kazukage
Oct 11 2008, 01:20 PM
The advance armor crafter name is Wu Tugu, you can access all the NPC advance crafters by opneing Game Info>NPCs>Quest, theres a list for them, all wandering crafters NPC are advance crafters.
Alvi, if you going for 3 gunners, then drop the spearman, and since you dont like Viking i suggest u get all 3 swordsman up frotn as tanks, if ur main is sword, then just get 2, might as well use the monks and shamans to support the tanks to last longer. Beast trainer is a good trade off tho.
Kawaii, u need to have another tank to cover your monk, I suggest get another Swordman to cover the frontline, or your monk will not survive.
kawaii87
Oct 11 2008, 01:57 PM
but supposedly at level 30 we must have 7 merc right?
at 40 8 merc
at 50 9 merc
thats the cap right?

Oct 11 2008, 02:11 PM

hehe
btw , i m at sikyon , char name: Firoz
and .. yes , we got full team , 9 merc including ur main at lvl 50

Oct 11 2008, 03:05 PM
Tankers are priorities on the main line, or front line, thats to cover your low def shamans or monks. Secondary tankers like cannoner usually at the second line infront of the monks, or some ppl use another tank, to ensure the survival of the monk. One thing good about shamans and monks are they have high defence against cannons, which is good to be at the back of tanker receiving less damage after the tanks absorbs most of the damage.
As long you going for more range in your team, its advisable to have tanks on all 3 box in the front line.

Oct 11 2008, 03:27 PM

For the sub tankers, You can try viking, or take another swordman and swap position with your main, and let your main on the second line. You can run a melee party, but you will have troubles whne up against flying mobs.

For you, I think you better swap your shaman with another tank for a while until your monk upgraded. Having your main cannon up front is actualy a bad i dea since cannon are secondary tanks that place on the 2nd line. I f you going to ha 2 gunners, unless u can have another merc slot to get a tank, u have to sacrifice between shaman and viking for ahile to make up for the lack of tankers.
kawaii87
Oct 11 2008, 05:45 PM
thats my level
as i say my formation
viking swords
gunner gunner
shaman cannon and monks....
i have kept monks at merc room
now who should i hire?
Balza
Oct 11 2008, 06:18 PM
a sword should be nice ..
Kazukage
Oct 11 2008, 06:21 PM
Yeah Balza is right, get a swordsman
Balza
Oct 11 2008, 07:08 PM
hehe .. its not right or wrong .. more like a better option
u can , if u want , keep ur monk , put ur gunner up front , with nothing behind it
move cannon to second row and hide monk behind it ..
this formation ll works well .. depending ur speed of lvling to 40
and ... u r not annoyed of having to revive ur gunner often ..

This is 1 example of very annoying formation and meets both for PVP and PVE. 1 thing lacking is, this formation will face hard time against flying mob or enemy (like Witches). 3 Spearman and an axe main will literally render you immobile ( Lightning Spear burns your AP while Freezing Axe locks you ). By the time freezing effect gone, you cannot take any action because no AP. Good damage dealing since spear pierce through ranks and 2 gunners finish the job.
Always observer those participate in Free League, you can learn a lot of formation styles.
p/s: I see you guys later, going for dinner
