Title: Wall of Earth = GG
Post by: echephron on March 23, 2015, 05:05:04 PM
I was my fire warlock. turn 3, I get walled in my flame immune wall of earth. I check my book: i have no way to get out or damage the walls. archers tower and archer from opponent. Game over on turn 4.

Ouch. I assume Adremelech Warlock (e.g. no non-flame basic melee attack). Not a single creature without a flame-based attack? And no fliers to at least take out the sniper?

As a desperation attack, your mage can always punch for 3. :p

female warlock is the only mage in the game that can get perma-trapped behind walls with a poor spellbook. if only those walls were flame-5 instead

any mage can get stuck in a force hold without dispels, but at least then you have line of sight on the enemy.

I equip Sectarus and some enchantments to get the Adramelech Warlock up to 6 or 7 dice with her basic attack. Flying demons also work well with her, but I added a Dark Pact Slayer for some extra punch to take down these types of walls. As a demon it also gains the benefits of her abilities and special equipment.

I have done a Force Push + Maim Wings to the Lord of Fire before.....

Cool trick, but turn 3/4, surely the Warlock has a Dispel, and almost certainly more Dispels than the opposing mage has Maim Wings. Also, you could throw a Nullify or similar onto Adramelech before sending him over the wall.

I was thinking that as long as Adremelech scores a burn token on something, then your Wildfire Imps could teleport across, but alas, they require LoS for their teleporting ability (unlike Gray Wraith, for example).

Perhaps this is a good excuse to add Eagleclaw Boots to the spell book?

I don't think wild fire imps needs LOS to teleport neither blue gremlins

Wildfire Imp does need LOS.

Blue Gremlin does not.

[mwcard=MWSTX2FFC13]Wildfire Imp[/mwcard] requires a target, unlike [mwcard=MW1C05]Blue Gremlin[/mwcard], and targets require Line of Sight.

Mystery is referring to the fact that the Priest and the Adramelech Warlock cannot do a "standard" 3D basic attack.

sIKE is referring to pushing Adramelech behind two earth walls and then revealing Maim Wings.  At that point Adramelech's controlling mage does not have Line of Sight to dispel Maim Wings.  Additionally, Adramelech is powerless to affect the Earth Walls and needs another creature to bust him out since all he does is fire damage.

Just to clarify, i had no non-fire weapons(lady warlock basic attack is fire) or attack spells and i only had the imp familiar for a creature. so now i have a copy of eagleclaw boots in that book

Anyone else think it's a little odd the Adramelech Warlock doesn't know how to punch?
Title: Re: Wall of Earth = GG
Post by: sdougla2 on March 24, 2015, 03:48:14 PM
Yeah, it's a little weird. But why would the Adramelech Warlock want to punch someone when she can play with matches?

Before i met my wife, i would say, that she punch like a girl. Now i wonder, why did not she ordered someone around to punch trough that wall :)

The thread was about not being able to attack the wall, I just wanted it to be clear, that even though the Priests attack was not the standard Mage attack, that it still could target and damage the Wall of Earth.

Unless i'm reading this wong, or you wrote it incorrectly, how do you get stuck behind your own wall of earth?

Pretty sure that's a typo: "my" = "by"
*edit* just like "long" = "wrong" and "to" = "do" in your post... not to mention the extra "you" and lack of capitalization of "i'm."  ;)

As a rule of thumb when playing Adramelech Warlock
1. always bring your [mwcard=MWSTX1CKQ06] Eagleclaw Boots[/mwcard]

2. stay out of corner zones
