Welcome to Gaia! ::

These are the strategies I know of so far. If you have anymore, tell me so I can add them if they work.

1: Offline Assault

You see, no one can stay online forever, it's nearly impossible. So, browse the first few pages of each thread, you might find some vampires that can still be attacked and are offline. Hunt them down as fast as possible, so that they get turned. Then we can strike a major blow against them when they come back on.

Countering Offline Assault:

Basically, there's no way to strike back when you're offline. There is a way to stay alive though. Post in at least five healing forms before you get off, then, people will watch your Hitpoints when you're not on, healing you when the vampires attack.



2: Critical Hit and Silent Strike strategy.

Critical Hit's are nice if followed up by a weak attack or two. That and the Silent Strike, that's also helpful in a place full of vampires. You go to a place full of the enemy, do a Silent Strike, then refill rage at some low thread with few vampires. Another technique that works pretty well, though you'd need rapid succession of people doing it all at once on the same target for maximum effectiveness.

Counter to Critical Hits and Silent Strikes:

Critcal Hits from a vampire can deal an enourmous blow to you, turning you before you can get healed. Silent Strikes are worse, because you dont know when or where they're coming from, leaving you wide open. Here's the solution: Healing threads. Healing threads are nice if you start to get hit with Critical Hits more often. If you're getting hit by Silent Strikes though, go to the thread and stay there for a while. You dont want to run back into battle with an invisible attacker.



3: Silent Strike Strategy

Silent Strikes are quite costly at 5 rage each. So, after you use them, go use weak attacks elsewhere or heal your fellow hunters. Do not use any rage in these attempts, because you are trying to GAIN rage, not use it. Also, a Silent Strike assault like this is best attempted in a larger group, due to the low effectiveness it will have, since as you refill on rage, your opponent may refill on health.


Counter for Silent Strikes:

Read above counter for Critical Hits and Silent Strikes.


~NEW~ 4: Hit and Run

No, you do not take a vampire out then run out of the thread, you hit them and delete your attack post ASAP. This keeps you from being attacked everytime you attack. It's almost like a silent strike, except it doesnt take any rage. Although if you have a slow computer, you still may get hit.


Counter for Hit and Run:

Admit it, you'd be mad if you keep getting hit by weak attacks, and you cannot find your attacker. Either they're doing Silent Strikes, or they're deleting their posts. Here's a hint: refresh the page every couple of minutes. If you see someone's attack disappear, keep going back to that same page and attack them. If you can turn them instantly, do so, as they will be very troublesome if they stick around for too long.

Now this is what not to do. Above all, number one is one of the MOST important.

1: DO NOT ATTACK A THREAD NO ONE IS ON ALONE! I had a full page off attacks, when a good some of vampires came on and unleashed their unholy wrath upon me. Biggest mistake ever. Just goes to show that group attacks are better. That way the attacks are all spread out, and critical damage to a single member is hard to come by.

2: Always have a place with healers watching you. Create a "Heal me" thread, or post in five different threads. Just make sure you dont wind up finding yourself with one point left, and no healers in sight.

3: Know when to stand down. Though running is not always the best option with war, sometimes it is needed. If everyone goes away and you're all that's left, go with them. Do not get surrounded and turned.
