Title: Stuck in a tree with 20+ undead elves, humans, and dwarves below
Post by: LlamaLlord on March 05, 2016, 07:25:55 pm
I don't know what I was thinking.... I tried to take on a necro tower.... my two buddies I brought along with me are now drooling undead goons trying to kill me. Does anyone know what to do?

Here are more details on my situation:
I am a novice swordsman with a iron long sword. I am also a adequate wrestler and striker, novice climber and swimmer, talented fighter, skilled dodger, novice persuader (it's no use I've already tried to talk to them), skilled dancer (hell yeah!), adequate armor user and ambusher. I am heavily bruised in places but otherwise doing okay. I have three water and like 30 celery (gots to eat your veggies). I have tried everything I can think of (I even went as far as throwing my boot at them, and even that didn't deter them). Someone please help!

Kite them out, and use multi-attack (quick attack + dodge away).

Well, it might not work, and it's a total exploit, but if you're really stuck, don't want to lose this character and are pretty sure you won't survive any other way...

Necro towers have just been nerfed, most of the challenge that it's supposed to be has been robbed from the game. But did you think you should be able to go in without any struggle, without any need to develop your character's abilities at all?

Hell, I don't think at all most of the time and when I do it's something incredibly stupid.

If they climb up after you, aim a grab > takedown and drop them into each other.

It's part of Skyhammer, though the full one would be dangerous (where you hang above the foe, aim the takedown, then let go of the wall and slam into them/ride them into the dirt) with zombies around.

i dont think coins are capable of inflicting damage, at least not to enemies that big

They won't put down undead but they can tear brains and shit.

I get knockouts pretty often with them. Silver and gold more than copper, but they're aren't as practical unless you can get large stacks of them.

Jump out of the tree and run like hell?
