About Frenzy Skill

[Tuplis]

I don't really like frenzy because in my opinion the bonus kicks in once you have already ensured the victory. There are sometimes stacks that can be considered easy picks and thus easily give some extra attack to your ranged units but all in all, I found better uses for my points early on.

so, for mage, in the might skill tree, only Rage Control and Master of Spirits worth to learn, no need go further.

NO WAY. one of the best skills for any class but especially a mage is the +1,2, or 3 initiative skill at bottom of might. This will ensure that you get cast your 2 spells and a rage attack in first round b4 the enemy gets to move. Its important to get them while they still clumped together for mage so first round initiative is very important.

worth a point for nighttime operation... asides from night, it works in caves, and all the biggest baddest monsters are in caves... and it only costs 3 might runes per level (aka, level2 and 3 also only cost 3 might runes each) and gives +2 attack and +2 defense per level.

Here is a question... how long does frenzy last? the whole battle?

[lauvhk]

Yes, until the battle concludes.

[Gatts]

yes - frenzy bonus lasts whole battle, no matter how long it will be and is cumulative...

if you have frenzy 3:

your bone dragons kill 4 stacks: 4x6 att = +24 attack... till the bitter end

In general Frenzy was the skill for my vampires which I sent always in the front lines and longer the battle lasted, easier it was for me...

[lauvhk]

I believe the Frenzy skill is especially invaluable to those pursuing single stack strategy.

@Gatts

Not that it makes much sense, but do you still get the bonus if you kill friendly stacks like Thorns or Undead raised by Necromancer/Necro Call?

[Zhuangzi]

I quite like Frenzy. As a Paladin, I found that I was happy to upgrade it to +4 attack in midgame. In this game, it's not enough to win battles, you have to win them convincingly enough for it to be profitable. So I think Frenzy has a use.

Nighttime Commander is also a very cheap and nice skill - shame night is so short in this game.

Nighttime also works when in caves if I am correct.
