Mounted Avengers (Avengers on iPhone version) are Twilight Avengers mounted on fast-moving, giant stag beetles.
Overview[]
Mounted on giant beetles, these Avengers advance swiftly and relentlessly.
Mounted Avengers have very good damage, fast speed, the beetle's high magic resistance combined with high HP allowing them to sponge twice as much damage compared to a Twilight Avenger on foot. The sheer damage, numbers and blasting curse of Mounted Avengers force the player to invest in archers, as they have enough HP to simply shrug off Druids' stones.
When the beetle dies, the Twilight Avenger dismounts and continues on his path. For some reason, the Twilight Avenger cannot use the blasting curse until the beetle dies.
Strategy[]
- Generally, the player should attempt to defeat the beetles before they get too close to the exit, as doing so will provide enough time to defeat the dismounting Avenger. To achieve this, they can be stalled by upgraded barracks the Clobber from a Weirdwood.
- As with enemies such as Worg Riders and Fallen Knights, archers in the front and mages in the back is the best way to defeat these enemies.
- Following on the last point, Arcane Archers can be useful if the player is using mages. Putting a couple of Arcane Archers up front to lower their magic resistance so that the powerful mages can destroy the beetle and consequently the Avenger is a good idea.
- Instant kills (except for Reaper's Harvest on iOS) prevent the Avenger from dismounting.
- Spells such as Hunter's Mark, Sylvan Curse and other weakening or resistance lowering spells can help kill these beetles more efficiently.
