Tips how to win more siege!!!

        A siege is a military blockade of a city, or fortress, with the intent of conquering by attrition, or a well-prepared assault. This derives from Latin: sedere, lit. 'to sit'. Siege warfare is a form of constant, low-intensity conflict characterized by one party holding a strong, static, defensive position. In Blood Of Steel game, there are 2 types of siege battle, you can be on attacker side or defender side, while they have 5v6 and 8vs10 mode. Defender side will always be in lower number of team. Although win a siege in defender side is easier, because of map layout. But of course, whoever have a better hero combination in a team will win.

Hero combination tips : 💪

• Defender  : - 2 Shield unit, 2 DPS Infantry, 1 Archer

                             -  2 Shield unit, 1 DPS Infantry, 1 Support, 1 Archer

                             - 3 Shield unit, 1 DPS Infantry, 1 Archer

• Attacker   : - 3 Shield unit, 2 DPS Infantry 1 Archer

                             - 3 Shield unit, 1 DPS Infantry, 1 Support, 1 Archer

                             - 3 Shield unit, 1 Support, 2 Archer

                             - 4 Shield unit, 2 Archer

Hero to avoid : ⛔

• All type of Cavalry (never use cavalry on siege map, because they are useless, except for one map, I'll talk about it later)

        Now you know a good combination for siege battle, but you don't know what hero to use, like what is difference between "shield unit", "Support", and "DPS" infantry. Ok, I'll explain!

        First, shield unit is a hero who have main objective to absorb damage from enemy, example Alexander, Ling Tong etc. You can see the picture bellow, you can find this description in hero detail. As you can see, Alexander role is "Tank" or you can call him Shield boi!!!

        And then we have support, the game called him "Strategist". This type of hero have a skill to give a buff (increase attack, increase defense) to ally or some hero have healing skill to support ally or even giving a de-buff to enemy. This type of hero is very useful in "blob fight". So, blob fight is a situation when your team and your enemy are fight each other in a massive battle (3 vs 3, 3 vs 4, 5 vs 5 etc) and they are surrounding the map in narrow gap like people watching a concert.

        Now we have DPS infantry or "Fighter", his main objective is to deal a lot of damage to enemy team from flank or from behind enemy line. They have unit that deal massive damage but very less durable than shield unit, if you don't play carefully, you will lose your entire unit without taking any significant damage to enemy. The best way to play this role is wait your ally "Tank" in his shield unit to draw enemy attention, and attack the enemy from the flank or behind.

        There are 2 types of DPS infantry in the game, first is sword unit, your main objective is to attack enemy from the flank, like I said before, and the other type of DPS is spear. Spear hero like Zhang Bao, can deal a lot of damage if you play correctly. You won't flank the enemy with spear unit, you need to stay behind your tank or ally shield unit. So it work like this ... when your enemy attack you, their damage absorbed by ally shield unit, and your spear can deal massive damage without taking any damage from enemy. The reason about this is your weapon "spear". Spear have a longer attack range than sword, so you can attack them from distant.

        You can see Zhang Bao spear attack range is 2.55, that's mean you can attack the enemy pass through 1.55 ally unit. The longest spear is Zhang Fei, which is 3.00, so he can attack enemy pass through 2 ally unit.

        Last is archer, you "always" need at least 1 archer at siege, archer is your team main and biggest damage output in the game (if play correctly). Your job is deal damage to enemy from distance, but your first job is to kill entire enemy archer in your sight. Second, you need to find high ground, because you can shoot enemy pass through ally unit like spear, you ally will block your arrow with their body, so there's no point shooting from flat terrain, ALWAYS find high ground before shooting. and there are 2 types of archer, "Hero Killer" and "Unit Killer', from the name you can expect, some hero are good at killing single unit like hero, and some of them or good at killing multiple unit (have an area damage skill). For the best hero killer is Phillip II and Shun Sanxiang, and for the best unit killer is Zhenji and Liang Hongyu.

        Here's the proof of how good is Phillip II at killing enemy hero!! 😻😍

        

Now I will tell you what hero to use in siege for each role and each situation. By using this hero, you will increase your win percentage!!

Shield Unit       : Alexander (must use in defender side), Caesar, Ling Tong

DPS Infantry    : Godfrey, Baldwin I, Hua Mulan

DPS Spear      : Zhang Bao, Zhang Fei

Support            : Spartacus, Han, Xin, Isabella, Zhuge Liang

Archer              : Zhenji, Liang Hongyu, Shun Sanxiang

note : the reason why I'm not included Phillip II in my list because he's hard to use, you need to headshot enemy hero, but if you sure you can do that, pick him!

        Thanks for coming to my blog, I'll update the guide as soon as possible, so stay tuned!! 👌😎
