Atlantica Online: Princess, Cannoneer and bombing campaign

Bombing campaign is a special combo attack made using princess and the cannoneer. It is very useful in various parts of the game which is why I recommend everyone to have these 2 mercs at least in the merc room if not in the main party.

Separately princess heals all ranged mercs, gives them defense and has skills to block or reduce damage of enemy ranged mercs.

The cannoneer is a cannon merc who can cast smoke bomb. This is a skill which reduces accuracy of all enemy mercs so quite often when they attack your mercs will just dodge.

On top of the above, these 2 mercs combine to produce the devastating bombing campaign. You can see an example and further explanation of it on the below picture story I have prepared for you:

is it better to use bombing campaign in PVP also or just use the signet to reduce attack completely

i find that it is most effective in pvp to time it out according to yr ap and stun count/stun pressure as when you cast the combination of signet and smoke bomb to make bomb attack you lose effects of signet and smoke bomb :)

so, normally what i do is mana drain scroll on princess 1st round skip turn.. then smoke bomb and then i go into sniping mode... smoke bomb aoe isnt all too special but 500dmg per round actually is sort of an added bonus when yr dealing with mercs who have 200-500 hp left.

I know some people actually specifically in PVP cast signet and then the smoke bomb to avoid the bombing campaign combo attack as they prefer the debuffs than the damage.

On the other hand I have also seen people kill the enemy especially ranged mains using the bombing campaign.

Its down to personal preferences and strategies.

how do you choose between family / royal / imperial signet?
and how high should you level those skills to o_o

admin said...

hi that really depends on your strategy...

some like princess to max heal + max gun or arrow

others like to max heal and half/half both gun arrow

others want no heal but max gun/arrow

very few pick anti cannon

Hmm how practical is max heal? Doesn't it sap the princess's mp too fast?

well of course it eats more mana but heals more too

and she is staff so she has lots of mana as it is

and if you feel its still too much then give her more intel gear like the hat and the staff
