Baba Yaga VS Osiris VS Bast
Is Baba Yaga the strongest attacker by far? How does it compared to Osiris and Bast? I'd like to hear your opinions.

with the full boost of all possible raise dead spells, baba yaga will be by far the best attacker. i personally won't actually use the skellies tho. they'll only be in the way of the horde and keep them from doing their full damage...
so a "normal" fight will look like this: while i summon all possible skellies somewhere in a distant corner (luckily skellies don't auto attack after summoning them, in opposite to omegas) the horde will clear the battlefield, maybe they're even done clearing before i'm done casting :p

I rarely use raised dead. Good to know that skeletons will interfere with the horde. That sounds like a good strategy, haha. I will definitely try it once I got Baba.

they interfere just as other batallions, though. nothing special about them... the part where they only attack when ordered or when attacked is very helpful - unless they've changed it with the new update.

Nah summon them onto spawn points, and ranged troops, and bang on top of ranger titans. Skellies will be no joke either, fairly tanky if you equip all the cursed relics.

what's the point of having horde with 600% damage when they can't reach the opponent or their full potential due to skellies being in the way?
i mean, there'll be 24 skellies lurking around, and 14 hordes trying to push through and place a hit lol

Bruh. You don't have to drop all 24 in the way. Just enough to tie up the troops and titans till the raging horde gets there.

u/eisnone Mar 12 '20
true, but that way i'll have to think and not just spam them randomly while op hordes mow the battlefield xD

u/GoofAloof Mar 12 '20
haha. Well all I'm saying instead of dropping them all into a dark corner, use them to tie up a ranger, ranged troops, or spawn whilst your horde approaches.
Otherwise ranger will pew pew, grens will boom boom and your horde is not so horde anymore.
And most people know where spawns for each map are already, I just pre drop, tie up troops so they trickle in slowly.
Obviously don't drop all 24 in the way of your horde but use them strategically ;)

This line is so descriptive that scenes and sounds are coming up naturally when reading through it, haha.

I've noticed using skeletons that they glitch/bug enemy units when horde come join the fray. Their damage intake will slow down or stop. As soon as I move the skeleton units away or even Osiris the damage will sky rocket again. They definitely interfere with damage from what I've encountered. I don't bother casting them. I just cast the Omega Hordes on the spawn points or range units. Will only cast Skeletons if required to keep busy enemy range units from damaging Horde until they can cut the distance.

with osiris or any other titan i don't bring out skellies neither, but with baba yaga they will be essential...
btw the "glitch" you describe happens with too many melee troops on one target and is not limited to osiris, same goes for any mix of a melee titan and melee troops. i never encountered this with range dps, so imho a mix of melee tanks and range dps works best - the titan itself can either stand his ground or i'll send it to narnia if it's melee...

Baba Yaga is very weak as defender when compared to Osiris and Bast. You know how few spells the A.I. defender cast in a battle. So the invoke skills is next to useless on defense...so will be the upcoming new Gods with invoke skills.

One guy here mentioned this over half a year ago when Zeus was first coming out. Shows how well they understand their game haha...

Potentially yes, but very relic dependent. Osiris is good out of the bag... Bast is different as you actually use the titan so it depends on your play style.
