But wizards are so fun! I had a run with only ranged stuff + spells and wizards carried it almost to the end (king remained with 1 HP). I know they are annoying because of RNG factor, but this switches the fight from a planned one to an intense one. Third book is also very useful against the king, even sturdy tanks can struggle with his stats, but having a free attack (with 2x damage on 3rd level) is OP. Though I agree that for beginners these strategies may be unnecessarily complicated at first.
I've never tried a fully ranged set!
Thank you! I failed to see how useful the 3rd book would be against the king! When I play it doesn't say it doubles but says it adds just +1 attack!
Wizards aren't 'bad' but they are hard to utilize correctly. Wizards can't "load"/"stack" spent spells. For example, you spend 3 spells. You might expect to have the wizard have 3 spell attacks loaded. However, the wizard will only attack once and the other two are wasted. This is hard to utilize with the 1st book because it requires movement for damage so you want to set it off early especially if you are targeting archers.
