Need advice for OF gbg pls

[Jungkook-]

hello, i entered OF yesterday and now having many questions on battle.
question 1:
can anyone please explain how octopod's frenzy works? its so hard to understand...it says
" Deals 50% damage to the enemy units within 1 tile range of unit on top of damaging targeted unit. "
but i couldnt have any shot to get that advantage : (

question 2: whats the best combination to use on gbg? does 1 hover and 7 rogue works well or subs and turtle work better?
im looking for the combination that makes GBG that fastest to fight

i've heard many times OF is the most horrible era for fighting but i have to be in for 3 months due to damn special goods.. so i need to find a better way for fighting

thank you in advance

move to VF

as for the topic, post please your current boosts, thats the most important factor as to what to use on fighting - ao lvl too

move to VF

I need exactly 5967 promethium and 8590 orcalcum to leave OF, which would take a century : (
cant power-age OF and AF due to special goods sadly. wish i could leave, all in resource is enough except special good

well, this is the attack boost currently. im atm 103M in rankpoint, and have CDM in lv 81, but zeus and coa at lv 11, TA at 15(i dont bother to level it lol but it'd add another 100% A/D if so)

another question
does Nautilus, Octopod, Scimitar, Gliders, medusa in GBG unit reward get excluded? im only getting the 5 early OF units...eel, sub, crab and turtle and manta

 

[r21r]

im atm 103M in rankpoint

nobody cares - irrelevant

i don't think you can do wonders with such stats in OF, what is your Orangery level ?

Turtles Sub Cruisers TE Drones and Hovers depending to the enemy army.

wait for someone who has been there, because i haven't, all i know is that you need more attack/defence to be "ok" in OF.
more meaning 1000% attack, but don't take it for granted, it's what i've heard/seen from other players..

1000% attack not needed in OF - or in any higher era for that matter. I slide easily through GE on auto in SAV, for instance, with far less than 1000% attack.

More attack probably won't help. You might benefit from more def, but that needs to be either calculated or tested.
You can try 8 eels attack. And good old 2 subs 6 rogues.
Turtles are fun and games until you open a fight and let AI show you how to royally screw them
Also anything with gliders and you have 8 turtles less than you had before starting this fight.
Hovers are unreliable - as soon as they get out of plains and there are turtles on the other side of the field - it hurts. But might work too.

Changing full army for GBG each time you meet gliders can seriously damage your mental stability, that's why very few people like OF.
Can alternate 4 turtles 4 rogues / 2 subs 6 rogues, but even that takes time to change.
2 subs 2 turtles 4 rogues should have theoretically worked, but I wouldn't say it's any better than eels or subs/rogues, maybe your mileage will vary - I had higher stats in OF.
Other units are trash except at high attrition you can use gliders against armies with 4 turtles.

this one too : P

thank you for the great info, klods and TGF. but i have 1 more question.
HOW DOES FRENZY ON OCTOPOD WORKS?

 

[TheGreatFinger]

exactly as written
full damage to the unit you target
50% to everything 1 tile from octopod
it's not mortar, you gotta be in melee for it to work

thanks. now i see =D
i guess octopod isnt that good though

 

[r21r]

Hovers are unreliable

sometimes, when using 2/6 mix with rogues, might not work well because mortar hits even the hidden ones?
not sure how relevant it is (why not?) x8 hovers did better on AA map than 2/6 when against OF troops..

PS AA map has 0~75% boosts for the defence armies, GBG goes way higher

Yes, that's probably the reason. At low attrition crabs and scimitars are mostly irrelevant, while turtles will do 1 damage to everything anyway. At higher attrition though I'd prefer 2/6.

 

[Jungkook-]

btw, whats the best unit to fight scimitars? i find them the hardest to fight when im using hovers. especially with dragon breath, later they become painful like space marine :\

 

[r21r]

More attack probably won't help.

vs

Not sure what movement priorities have TE Drones compared to CE Helicopters, but with a quick comparison to my current stats and results, maybe the 1000% attack could do the click if single shot is possible.

maybe 3 turtles with 5 drones (ofc with a high AO) might do the job.

just for the conversation, when i go to OF, ill test all possible combo's
