FBGM Tactics

General Idea

The basic concept of FBGM DoA tactics is to be fun and challenging for experienced players while being safe in a casual environment.

The main characteristics are jumps (EE, Recall or HoS) on every player and Edge of Extinction on the Seeder which allows the Caller to bring Wandering Eye.

Tactics specific to FBGM Tactics

• Pushing in 4th room, Trench Tank pulls the 1st wave and team spikes while running to the far corner.
• TK Takes 1st Snake, Caller takes 2nd.
• Caller must interrupt the The Black Beast of Arrgh's touch of Aaargh since IaU doesn't bring YMLaD.
• At the end of wall in city, MLK stays and provides a HoS target to the Trench Tank.
• Edge of Extinction is placed in the middle of city, in range of both spikes.
• IaU does the last left wave of 360 so that MT can be ready at the Ranger lord door.
• Trench Tank and MLK should pop and kill Gloom trench if possible, even if late for 6-0, in which case Seeder and Emo will kill the front tendril.
• At the start of Gloom everyone should jump up the hill, so that MT can pull the spirits towards the gate as a DC target for the Trench Tank

Pros

• The teambuild is capable of a very fast run (low 23)
• Shadow step on everyone
• Edge of Extinction on Seeder allows Caller to spike without delay

Cons

• No Arcane Echo on Seeder requires good Seed of Life timing
• The builds require experience players
• Players have to rely on teammates for the tactics to be successful E.g. Caller has to rupt black beast's touch, MLK gives Trench Tank a HoS target in city, etc
