He tries to shoot right at the center of mobs and will be constantly obstructed even if its only Thorek in the middle of it. Also sucks that you can't raise your hero caps at all till tier 4, I have 4 stacks that need a lot of bonuses.Īlso Grudgeraker on the Engineer is finnicky as fuck. Despite Thorek already being level 34 I'm not wasting red line points on Longbeards when I could have a full Ironbreaker stack. Turn 74, already taken out Grimgore, my original settlement still won't be level 4 for 10 turns. Still, fucking hate dwarves for their slow as fuck growth rate. Master Rune of Spite and Rune of Wrath & Ruin takes out mobs pretty well, though Thorek also does that just fine on his own. So lord vs lord fights end up with the enemy having like 20 MA/DA and Thorek having ~130 MA and 60 MD and 530 weapon strength.

For fighting lords and heroes my runesmith has Helm of Discord. You can stack the Rune of Speed if you cast it both normal and overcast for a temporary +48 melee attack. You just stack on +20% weapon strength +25 melee attack, add some constant rune castings and shit dies. Don't even have any special equipment on him other than seed of rebirth.
