Lotus' Worst Bg

[Cute_Saya 0]

I vote for UNLIFE because you can not resurrect Warlocks and Master Warlocks since thay already died. I always have Warlocks w/ SC BG and Master Warlocks ST BG in my army. Since they have no corpses UL is useless

[hyperknuckles77 2]

I vote for Death Wail. Never used it. Horses die quickly anyway. And besides, Diseased Ones walk very slowly to begin with - they're not the "omg-save-my-stamina-so-i-can-use-my-bg-plz!" type of units. Diseased Ones are for running. Or for riding horses. If you're going to let them walk normally to save their stamina, it would take them forever to reach your enemies.

GOOD BG IF you have a team mate....

i also use it to gather horse when skirmish!

But how? i put a pesant about 5 meters away from my teamate's stable..

then i will make the peasant half dead then i will kill it near the stable

then get the horse^^ TeamKill

Then you know nothing about war. Lets say u have a super duper strong army in attack but no supplies and i have plenty of supplies and not that great attacking army but very good defence. Wanna know what i will do in this situation? Killing you slowly since u cant HEAL yur army. Endurance my dear Tokyo is most of the times the key.

hmm i didnt vote coz i like the lotus BG and i dont actually think they have a weak BG they are all useful in some way or another u just have to use it at the right time ...

You are right but famine is really stupid because infested one cannot run fast nor for a long time either, so it is kinda impossible to go to the rice field unkilled... While his other BG is really crazy Life syphon is not bad but it is usable in rare situations. LIke in 2warlocks v2 melee units , but too much makro skills are required for little return so I suggest famine is the worst and after that life syphon.

i vote life siphon...sacrifice health for just one warlock?

[HeartBreakKid 0]

Scrye Leaves - useless, it is better if they will damage instead

Inner strength - useful for BAs when there are no healers around

famine - same as raider's BF but unlike raider you cant run further after you use it

death wail - this can dismount enemies horses (and steal it if you can)

projectile vomit - this also sucks, it has short range

Dark Arson - quite useless because warlocks attacks already have high damage against buildings

Life Siphon - why use this if you have a healer

Soul Thresher - quite useful but SC is better

Unlife - useful but cannot resurrect warlocks, MW and heroes though

Dark Portal - useless

Make Golem- Soban - i use this when turtling, if i will use all of my units.

[3D3G3X 1]

I'd say Famine.

I vote for Life Siphon, used to drain life, it can your unit or AI units (allies) to drain their life. Worst bg ever!!!

I vote for UNLIFE because you can not resurrect Warlocks and Master Warlocks since thay already died. I always have Warlocks w/ SC BG and Master Warlocks ST BG in my army. Since they have no corpses UL is useless

Unlife is useful ya know, I've seen an AI Lotus that resurrect a Warlock and Master Warlock to his side.

[cros_blunn 11]

ok ._.

how do you resurect a warlock , if they dissapears when they die

[DaTaBLitZ001 3]

Hmmm....it's like this, when I played Lotus vs AI Lotus, I used to kill their Warlocks first by using SC, the Warlocks were quickly killed, suddenly, a Master Warlock used his bg immediately then I saw around 3 or 4 Warlocks appeared again with yellow bar health. I don't know how the AI do it but that was my first time how the Master Warlocks resurrected the Warlocks.

Hi, I'm new here. But I'm not new to the game.

I voted Dark Arson. Lotus's battle gears are excellent but they are also harder to come by (unless your enemy isn't such a good player). Well, warlocks are already excellent at destroying buildings. No use wasting Lythis's stamina on getting Dark Arson, getting Soul Thresher or Inner Strength is better. Life siphon is even more useless IF you have an army of warlocks or master warlocks. I have used it quite effectively in some cases (although Sehk's Soul Chill is still by far the best choice). But still, damn useless ability. I would have voted for both.

Just wanted to point out that Dark Arson is useless as well. Especially if you like to have Zymeth in your arsenal. Rain + fire just doesn't go together.

Some others on the list are pretty bad as well I think:

Famine sucks, I only use it to control my ally AI's growth when I play teams offline. It's like death wail. Infested and diseased ones can only spare their stamina for the most useful of BGs, they just don't have enough to spare.

Death Wail is useless, someone pointed out already that it's not suitable since the wrong unit uses it. Also, for killing horses a few Blade Acolytes will do the job just fine (Garrin's bane).

But there are some excellent ones that I don't know why people voted for (as bad):

Projectile Vomit. An awesome cum disgusting ability. Really useful as a vanguard. Send in 2-3 of Diseased Ones to vomit. Then bring in your real army.

Make golem. An essential skill to me. Their explosions really deal a lot of damage (if you use them for that) but they can also replace peasants. And in a game against skilled opponents you need every peasant you can have.

Ephemeral Corridor. Helped me win a few times especially in Center Ring. Warp into the rice paddies with 4-5 masters while your armies duel to the death in the entrance. The enemy won't know what's going on. But I suppose if you have stamina you would spend it on a Soul Chill instead.

famine for sure is the worst!! lol lol

on battle just use death sentry on peasants and clear lol lol

vomit can be useful against tank

a single vomit can quickly kill even a werewolf

life siphon is very rare to use

but useful
