Tips to defeat demons?

Post by alansimp »

Hello,
I´m playing loti atm and the only way I have to propperly defeat demons is with my OP unit´s. Other factions and units I can counter with specific units and loadouts, but I aven´t found a demon counter yet. I need other tips to kill them. Any suggestion?

The thing about demons, if you haven't noticed yet, is the random traits. You basically have to look at every one of them and see what their resistances/defenses are and make sure you're attacking them with the right unit(s). And you need to watch very carefully, because some of the random traits, when combined together, can create an incredibly powerful unit -- when you attack one of these make sure you kill it in one turn (probably hitting it with slow first), and make sure it doesn't have any super strong friends near by. In recent versions, on lower difficulties, some of the traits have been removed, especially when you first start seeing demons, so (hopefully) you don't encounter any that are invincible, so make sure you're using a recent version and maybe drop down to easy for a little while while you learn/build.

Hopefully, you've been building a well balanced army and are recruiting and recalling the right units so you have a mix of attacks and defenses.

Make sure you understand how penetration works (it's changed a lot recently).

Demons often appear in packs. Find a way to spread them out so that you're not trying to fight more than a couple at once, or use some fodder so they can't gang up on units you want to protect.
