Defend Duke Hende Recommended Strategies and Tips

Stay Near the Starting Area

stay near starting area

It's risky to move your units away from the starting area since enemies will be coming from all sides. If at least one enemy gets past you, they can very quickly destroy the barricade and cause you to lose. Keep your units towards the center of the starting area so that enemies that arrive will have no choice but to attack you.

Lure Enemies Away From the Barricade

distract enemies

If enemies somehow get to the barricade, you can stop them by using Shield Wall or any stunning abilities.

Take Out Backlines

Make sure one of your units is focused on fighting the ranged backlines of enemies so that they don't just have free hits on you,
