Been playing Spellsword for Ebt.
For spellsword E is either for down or stunned enemies,
best to use when enemies stun since it will freeze them then chain to ice hail aoe skill.

rune mastery a bit vague since i never use it much during ebt.

re-stat the spellsword tree on last day to enable the hands of ice+ice smashing skills and to my surprise it does better+faster freezing enemies(non stun) then waiting for the E button prompt to appear.

As for troops,only manage to get to Blade dancer grade 3 + Priest grade 2.Archer grade 2 just standby in barrack.

got them from boss drop during one of the village liberation missions before the Defensive of Steel Plains quests.

Priest got small melee attack if engage by enemies but can survive longer than archer in melee despite their low hp.

In battle,Priest troops will stay at range and provide your army with constant healing and Sp regeneration.

weird,the website states game goes 'live in march" but now revert back to "coming soon"

checkout the kuf2 forum at mmog.asia website.

Got some early info on rune's usage and discovered troops during the Ebt.

Agreed also.
Was hoping that they already added Orc chiefs and Vampire heroes classes or maybe the tiny Dwarves prior to release.But the handful of difference troops classes to discovered,play and tinker are enough to offset the 3 classes heroes.

From my experience,the battlefield grading reflects on how well you play out your heroes and deployed troops during the mission.

Grinding troops exp on the lvl.19 Outskirts of death wood battlefield mission,

I mow down enemy troops with little help from my troops and get mission rank C or D.
next
I execute the troops command from support hero to attack on sight accordingly and managed to get constant rank A and B.

Got Rank S twice but forgot on which troops i deployed when i got the rank,blade dancer+archer or blade dancer+ priest.

During the Ebt,most of the game features are not even unlocked or implemented to be tested by players.

Most of the good comments on the various mmo's/Fb's sites were posted by players(including me) that has played and enjoyed the original KuF Crusaders and KuF Heroes on xbox.
Due to that,KuF 2 Ebt instantly hook us with it gameplay.

For the good and bad,well,...cant really comment much atm at least until the game goes into Obt.

but i must say that KuF 2 might not appeal to the casual streamlined mmorpg players.

The game itself are rts in the core but have hack n slash + rpg as supplemental to its gameplay.
You can try search and check out the xbox KuF gameplay or walkthrough on youtube since i might give out the description wrong.

As for the job classes,it falls onto the troops such as infantry,priest,mage,paladin and so on.
I just realized that KuF dont have any player job classes,only heroes.Observation from player comments reveals that only skills and gameplay differentiate the 3 heroes.

The combat are spot-on on both battlefield and field map,albeit the rts camera mode on battlefield can be annoying sometimes.Even with high ping the gameplay are still smooth.

Honestly,if you played any of the KuF titles on the Xbox's,then this the mmo-rts for you.
If KuF 2 is your 1st time into the franchise,then wait till the Obt release to test it out and experience it yourself.

Invasion mode going to be added on the next game phase.

Publisher MMOG could have release it this March,but somehow Blueside push it back to April to give way for Thailand publisher to run its own language cbt(if correct).

Anyways,MMOG has confirmed KUfii will be opened to players somewhere in April next month.

Downloading client thru torrent.

MMOG already informed about the ip block,but seeing lots of peers from all around the world in the peer list.
Expecting the server to be laggy on 6th may

Ahaha,same here.Still keep the ebt client on my pc.

Nevertheless,have to download the new client since the ebt client was buggy and it was incomplete.

If the client can be carried over onto obt then its worth the download,but if not then its a waste of my money,bandwidth and time to just re-download it all again.

website just updated new info on cc that will be testing the game,maybe they will be giving out client dvd there.

The game client for pc probably already completed,only ps4 version maybe still in beta test in-house by blueside.

Having too many publisher in just a single region are most likely to cause the game keep pushing back the release dates imho

All versions are ip-block.
Blueside already made an official statement regarding the ip issues policies.

For more info do take a peek at their official kuf2 page

Playing as spellsword,
ign phantom Cannan.

Interestingly the game has quite the update from ebt.

Increase difficulty.Enemies troops and leaders are more aggressive.Prompting for team play.
Proper skill trees.
Crafting can now finally be tested.
Auction house also has opened.
Troops management are much better now.
Leadership points now works.
Some changes in field map and quests.

currently capped at lvl11 due to unexpected leadership points wasted on testing the battlefield map.Regardless of that,now i understand the proper usage of rune's skill set.

Leadership function the same as fatigue.Each time when entering the battlefield,Leadership points are used.

When depleted,players will not received exp,troops exp and drops from battlefield.
Currently the Leadership system kinda buggy as the "no drops" also effected drops in field area and quests item drops.

Yesterday i was stuck on a quest on battlefield as the quest item did not dropped and was unable to pick up crafting mats drops from field mobs.

But,players can still farm the battlefield for bonus rewards or help out other players.Can grind field mobs for exp too but the exp is very small(1exp to 20/30exp per mob)

Best thing to do is just team up with other players for battlefield to prevent losing as the difficulty has been ramp up a bit.

For today i mostly afk.Unfortunately going afk=leadership points deduction...

saw slepth in accolade,but was on a mid of clearing field quest,so..forgot to say hello.

Meet a player grinding mobs in field area,pretty sure that's not the best way to power lvl your heroes.

Upgraded troops,but now stuck with low lvl armies.

Party battle at inner forest,unfortunately one of the player was running on 56k modem or maybe a laggy vpn,almost got wiped but manage to win it.

Understands how crafting works,tomorrow gonna try craft at least 1 piece blue grade gear if possible.Production are slow as we only got 1 worker for now.

Unlocked the Tree of Freezing Moon strategy skill,every minute can unleash massive freezing combo with freezing from rune mastery.

btw,revive crystals do replenish daily,just dont use it unless extremely in emergencies.

Do check my previous post on page 4.
Overall,do wait for obt if your a new player to the series as even now on cbt much aspects of the game are still locked.

As it stands now,majority of the players are failing to comprehend the rts concept and being hammered hard on the battlefield even with full party on an easy mission.

Day 3 of cbt.

Shield Keep Town,go in with a party but finishes it solo due to team mate lags quit and the other run away.But manage to get the mortar troops letter as a bonus from the scorpion.

Going to upgrade archer to frost archer and see how the troops works in battlefield.

inventory now almost max due to crafting mats.

at lvl20 now, so can relax a bit.
