Next week Demigod will begin its third epoch. Part of that will likely include the availability of Oculus.

Each epoch means the zeroing out of the stats. You keep your Favor points but everything else resets. You can still access your epoch 1 and epoch 2 stats on the pantheon but it’s a great way for people to start with a clean slate online.

I’ve been playing Oculus online.  I have some suggestions on him but he’s a serious damage dealer to grunts though.

nuh uh.. life steal! Trust me, the assassains will fair fine. Can you remember any multiplayer games, where your entire team was assassins? I can remember many of those, and we did fine. It lies in skill, not monks.

So that would be: monks + skill >> skill > monks. Though i dont play aggressive enough to the most benifit out of all Assassins i have never felt like i was going fine with a full team of them.

Not having monks means that you have no regen so you have to go back to crystal or waste large ammounts of cash to get health back. Minion builds are going to slaughter the week assassins and the rest will still have trouble playing against them.

Its not just the monks 2 out of 3 of the top demigods are generals and UB builds gernally factor in a bishop to beet LE/Oak(/Sedna) rook will die because minnions are now vaible. There are probably a few more bs strateries that generals can no do since no general is there to conter them.

Hopefully Epoch 4 is only 6 weeks away (or just to the end of the tourniment) or ballance attempts are made by GPG.

Assassains are fine dude. UB and rook can heal  themselves, DA has evade and teleport, TB has aoe, meaning he can slaughter in numbers, and reg has long range and aoe! Assassains would fair gr8

lets imagine 2v2 where we have erebus and oak versus ub and rook for example

imagine the generals having all idols (6*2 minions) + couple of their own minions (6*2)

then you two have 2+12+12 against you, and you know that minions don't really suck

i would really like to see how you would "skill" that situation

of course it takes skill to get to the minions and money for them but it is clear that generals have always one thing more than assassins. or 12. or 24.

UB + Rook is good. Probably the best thing going for assassins.

Chain stuns

eg: Bowling ball from a distance lets UB get on you, when you turn tail to run you get grasped. 

Everything else other than that has been a push over...

LOL, and Reg... wow, with everyone having priests, he really shows his late game weakness. He just can't hurt you unless you step on 6 mines.

if that's the best assassins can do then its kinda lame

of course our opponents maybe did some stupid things but anyway. look at erebus raping.

it was fun game though . ub even asked us to concede because our defeat was so obvious

Ub has ooze, meaning those minions will all slowly die, and they cant attack as frequently. Rook can make a tower farm, and get independant attacking weapons. Or, hammer slam!

I don't see how assassins can beat a Sedna and Oak.

Hey, that's not a fair game, and you know that The rook was pretty fresh (I mean, as in noob-fresh), and he admitted so freely. Of course the UB alone (me ) didn't stand a chance against you, so the whole game was spent just by me explaining him some of the basics one might look for when playing DG.

 

I can't tell about the general ass vs. gen matter, but this for sure is not an example of two assassins cooperating effectively

Horn of Battle negates all of these

minion`s role not to kill but to weaken an enemy. ub can do nothing when 2 demolishers hit it by 100 every second. it have to turn ooze on or run away. both ways are inconvinienyt for ub. Ooze is pretty good when a monk heal ub but without heal... a waste of hp and a trip to crystal

---

Minions negate towers too. demolishers or pack of souls/crawlers

horseradish is right, generals are stronger
