Gameplay in The Valiant.
We have about 8 units to choose from, these are swordsmen, crossbowmen, archers, spearmen, cavalry, ax fighters, shield bearers and battle priests. From the available units, you can take no more than 5 units into battle. This allows you to choose the right tactics and complicate the passage a little. It should be noted that you will not be able to play constantly with the same units and you will have to select suitable units to complete the mission.
The developers have provided different moments with the complexity of the passage, from this the strategy becomes even more interesting. From some point of view, two melee units, cavalry and archers is the best set to complete most missions. But, the game still has conditions for terrain and terrain, where two melee units are not enough.
At the beginning of the game, players can choose the units they want to complete the mission. Selected units can be replenished, healed and hired in the course of combat from special tents. All units must be separated and placed before an attack or defense. Ranged units are located in the second and third row, and melee in the first row.
Cavalry, in most cases, is used to attack and break the formation of attackers or attack enemy ranged fighters. At the same time, units have strengths and weaknesses that need to be considered. Melee units have fighters that do a lot of damage or are good at blocking enemy attacks. Therefore, it is advisable to send your fighters to other enemy units, where their units have an advantage over the enemy unit.
About missions.
The terrain in The Valiant plays an important role, which must be taken into account and selected suitable units. For example, in urban battles and narrow passages, it is advisable to take 3 melee units and 2 ranged units. Melee units hold back the breakthrough, while archers help hasten the victory. But, you need to take into account the enemy cavalry, from which you have to run when the onslaught begins.
For each mission, you need to adapt and select the appropriate combination of units. There is a place where the allied cavalry will give good results. But. And such moments where it is better to replace the cavalry with another melee unit. Two melee units must always be in a lineup, either both archers or crossbowmen and archers. You will have to combine with melee units. More suitable melee units are ax units and swordsmen.
About the ability of units.
Each unit has its own feature and ability that can be activated and used on the enemy. For example, the cavalry can apply an onslaught, in which it quickly gains momentum and crashes into an enemy unit. The enemy detachment from the onslaught of the cavalry loses orientation, falls to the ground and lies for some time. When your cavalry attacks like this, it is very good and you can increase the chances of winning. If our squad is attacked by enemy cavalry and hits, then most likely the squad can be lost. Since enemy archers and other units can still work.
About fighting heroes.
There are about 5 story characters in The Valiant, which are of different types. Each of the heroes can be equipped with items obtained in battles. Found items cannot be sold or thrown away, but they are not common either. All available heroes have three branches of the skill tree for pumping.
Additional features.
Players can build defensive and defensive structures. At the moment there are only two types, this is a defensive tower and stakes. Stakes will help in the defense to make it difficult for enemy units to pass. The defensive tower is needed for ranged units, after construction, for example, archers can be placed on them.
Conclusion on the game The Valiant.
At the moment, The Valiant game has a very attractive graphics that combines good strategic moments. Despite the small number of units, 8 pieces, they are enough to enjoy the fighting on the battlefields. Pumping heroes is also a good pleasure, where you can choose a suitable pet for yourself.
