Chains through 3 targets, undead take ×1.3.
How to use
Chain lightning hits three targets and ×1.3 against undead: the battle mage is the Kingdom’s main answer to the Pale Court and to crowds of scamps. It has only 67 health, so cover it with a dense line in the rear.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Strong against: undead, ghosts, crowds of cheap units.
- Danger: wolves and gryphons reaching the rear; archers that ignore armor.
- Works well with: spearmen in front and the standard-bearer nearby.
Price by castle level
A unit's price grows by 25% for every castle level above its tier: this makes higher-tier units a better deal than cheap ones.
