Archery isn't so bad in team battles. I believe it was two team tournaments ago that had my team with myself as an archer made it to the finals. Probably would've won that one too if I had upgraded from silver arrows at some point.

Astus posted:I have actually won fights both with a Minotaur crossbowman and a Minotaur armed only with 30 crossbow bolts. This is not a game you should min-max your dude, because there's a pretty good chance a single random roll lets the gimmick build slaughter him. Min/maxotaur finds your statement offensive and declares war on all gimmick characters!

If it still works as it used to, skill gain is actually vastly increased in arena mode.

Truly brilliant work to pretend to be asleep and useless for most of the match. Really lured them into a false sense of security.

It's a Thanksgiving Miracle! Round 4, Fight 8 Team Laser Explosion is on the left side of the arena. Anthony (dasmause) is a male tigerman. He is empty handed and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron low boots. Mogwai (Dark Off) is a female gremlin. She wields an iron buckler and an iron buckler and wears no armor. Molegrim (Maugrim) is a male molemarian. He wields a copper spear and wears a bronze helm and leather gauntlets. Turquoise Tonic (Hihohe) is a male human. He wields a silver mace and wears a copper cap, leather armor, an iron mail shirt, leather leggings, leather gauntlets, and leather low boots. The Petting Zoo is on the right side of the arena. Antwoman (Spermy Smurf) is a female soldier ant woman. She wields an iron large dagger, a copper large dagger, a copper large dagger, and a bronze large dagger and wears a copper mail shirt and copper greaves. A Lost Cowman (Locomotive breath) is a male minotaur. He is empty handed and wears a silver helm, leather armor, an iron mail shirt, copper greaves, silver gauntlets, and copper low boots. Simon Belmole (Ablative) is a male molemarian. He wields a copper scourge and wears a copper cap, a copper mail shirt, leather gauntlets, and copper high boots. Stephen Harper (ChickenWing) is a male serpent man. He wields a silver war hammer and a wooden shield and wears leather gauntlets and leather high boots. Team Laser Explosion is a 1.14 to 1 betting favorite in this match with 2411.00 dwarfbucks in total bets placed on them, compared to 2111.00 dwarfbucks for The Petting Zoo. Charge! Lost Cowman makes a grab at Molegrim, but is quickly denied as Molegrim stabs tells him that he’s not that kind of mole and stabs him in foot and down goes Lost Cowman. Mogwai climbs on top of Lost Cowman and thwomps him in the other foot with her buckler for good measure. As the other combatants join the fray, Anthony scratched Antwoman in the 2nd right arm and Antwoman drops a dagger in surprise. Molegrim practices his acupuncture technique on Lost Cowman’s neck and Lost Cowman is out like a light. First dismemberment of the round goes to Stephen Harper for scratching off Molegrim’s right middle finger. Antwoman loses another dagger as Anthony continues pulverizing her. Simon puts his scourge to use rips up Molegrim’s right hand, too bad mole don’t feel pain. Mogwai and Molegrim are racing to see who can crack open Lost Cowman’s head first. Antwoman gives in to pain as Anthony continues punching her many arms. There are now only 2 able fighters on Petting Zoo while Laser Explosion is mostly in one piece, minus a finger. Antwoman is the first one to become worm food when Anthony punches her in the head so hard it explode like a cheap B movie effect! Anthony is unphased from the ant ichors that showers him. Tonic and Stephen Harper haven’t been slacking, they’ve just been slapping at each other’s hands. Anthony wastes no time and quickly jumps on top of Lost Cowman. Simon makes a swipe at him, but Anthony just throws Simon by his remaining middle finger. I guess like most cats, Anthony likes hunting birds. Molegrim finally drills through Lost Cowman’s thick skull. Things are looking grim for Petting Zoo , as both their previously unconscious teammate’s have been downgraded to dead meat while Laser Explosion isn’t even sweating. Simon skids to a stop several paces northwest of where he started. Molegrim is the tiebreaker between Stephen Harper and Tonic’s ineffectual slap fight. A stab to the hand and Stephen Harper loses his buckler. Anthony thinks that this looks like fun walks over only to get his paw smashed. hobbled for life, Anthony falls to the ground. Too little, too late though, as Stephen Harper gives in to his wounds. Tonic may not be so great at hitting things that are awake, but he can murder napping snakemen like a pro. Another one of team Petting Zoos heads go pop. Mogwai finally shakes off the stars from Simon’s charge earlier and begins the arduous task to get her revengence via shield smacking. Mogwai and Tonic attempt to tenderize Simon with their blunt weapons. This goes about as well as could be expected on a mole. Anthony is content to nurse his broken paw away from combat. Tonic jumps into the lead for most removed body parts of the match as he performs homebrew dentistry on Simon. Simon has had enough of this and flies into a berserk rage! Unfortuneately, Simon’s accuracy goes to poo poo when he is mad. He whiffs several attacks as team Laser Explosion continue to dismantle Simon, this time they take his right hand and left thumb. The brutalization of Simon continues until Molegrim finally strikes true and scrambles Simon’s brain matter. That puts a bow on it. Winners: Laser Explosion with a 4-0 show of force!

I was hesitant to spend any points this round given that Min/Maxotaur is already the pinnacle of perfection and is the only arena participant to graduate with all the PhDs, but I decided to splurge and get her something pretty to wear.

From what I recall from bow and crossbow testing some several tournaments ago, arrows actually benefit somewhat from being heavier. In another team tournament, I had an ant archer make it all the way to the championship match with a silver bow that fairly consistently pierced steel. With that in mind, I'd probably just go with steel and skills.

I really would've been more surprised if we had won. Our team was never really designed with fighting in mind. For reference: Min/Maxotaur, a female Minotaur fighter. This fighter is participating in the 1054 Armok Arena League tournament as a member of A furry, a farmer, and two cows. She has the following equipment. Copper Large Dagger Oak Wood Buckler Copper Helm Copper Mail Shirt Copper Mail Shirt Copper Mail Shirt Copper Breast Plate Copper Greaves Copper Gauntlets Copper High Boots She has the following skills. Level 1 Fighting (Novice) Level 2 Archery (Adequate) Level 1 Axe (Novice) Level 1 Sword (Novice) Level 3 Knife (Competent) Level 1 Hammer (Novice) Level 1 Spear (Novice) Level 1 Pike (Novice) Level 1 Lash (Novice) Level 1 Bow (Novice) Level 1 Crossbow (Novice) Level 3 Wrestling (Competent) Level 1 Striking (Novice) Level 2 Biting (Adequate) Level 1 Dodging (Novice) Level 3 Shield (Competent) Level 3 Armor (Competent) Level 1 Misc. Object (Novice) Level 2 Kicking (Adequate) Min/Maxotaur has 86 points currently available to spend. Edit: I was going to change her to a real fighter, but then the matches started when I wasn't looking and I decided to roll with it.

Mostly loving around. I wanted to see if the attribute gain from lots of little skills outweighed the gain from just pumping a few skills up. From what I can tell it does, but not enough to make up for being lovely with your actual weapon.
