I am by far not the greatest player in the world, I'll give you that, but I have been playing for about 10 hours a day since war 3: ROC came out, but for the majority of the time I never seriously wanted to get good, until recently. Anyway, from my experience, hero combos I myself use, or have seen opponents use, I have learned, make or break your army. I will discuss how to perfrom several hero combos here, which I have seen work excellent in the past. Solo Combos: Here are some hero combos for solo matches only, afterwards I will discuss hero combos for team games. (note this combos work only in frozen throne) Undead Combo - Death Knight, Pit Lord, Dark Ranger: This hero combo is pretty well unstoppable once you get it going, and definatly takes shape once you hit lvl 4+. Myself, I start with the death knight, and go coil/aura, for skills. His aura helps your units early game, and he is great for harassing. I will get my second hero out ASAP, so i can uplevel first and second heros at about the same speed. Second hero choice? Well that depends on the situation, if your opponent is using hero kill spells, such as holy light or shadow strike, or using blizzard/flame strike. Get dark ranger as second hero. If your opponent is getting alot of archers/riflemen/head hunters or other ranged unit get the pit lord as second hero. Also if they mass ghouls, or other melee pit lord is what you need. For pit lord i go either rain of fire/howl which owns ranged units hard and fast, for melee units get howl/cleaving attack (cleaving rips through melee at lvl 2 or 3). Ok so for third hero get the remaining hero, if you got ranger for second get pit lord for third, and vice versa. Now how to use your heros. First of all i will get the following coil/unholy, silence/drain (always), and rain/howl (usually). So this is how a battle will go. You attack the opponent, coil/silence his hero immediatly, so you dont need to worry about spells. Order pit lord to front line and cast howl, if you got a rain of fire pit lord, move him back after howl and rain his units, if you got cleaving, leave him on front line and coil with dk to keep him alive. I tend to get a lvl 1 death pact to keep my death knight alive. If you manage to surround his hero, life drain/coil until its dead. Keep howl on, this will reduce the enemies unit effectivness greatly. Mostly ghouls a few necros and a couple aboms, with gargs or fiends for anti air pairs great with this hero combo. But im not stopping you from getting what you want. Neutral Hero Only Combo - Brewmaster, Pit Lord: This combo is real abusive, but it works wonder against any opponent. Get panda first, and get skill in this order Drunken Haze Fire Breath Drunken Haze Fire Breath Drunken Haze Storm Earth and Fire Fire Breath Tech hard to get your pit lord asap, make sure you get howl to level 3 ASAP, get either rain or cleaving depending on what you need. What to do with this combo? Well its not that complicated, just howl/haze enemy units. At lvl 3 for both skills the enemy will barely ever hit you, and do very little damage. Spam fire breath and drunken haze with aid of mana potions. Howl constantly as well. This one isnt that tough to pull off, and it works good. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ill add some more tomorrow or later tonight guys. Feel free to post your own hero combos as well. |
