Strategy[edit]

General[edit]

  • Decimus' Siphon and Fury can stack each other, dealing additional damage and additional healing effect.
  • Siphon and Boundless Siphon leader power will serve to aid player in firefight, which can be utilized in lieu of any Healing Leader Power.

Allies[edit]

  • Open the firefight using Lightning Vortex, allowing allies to launch the assault while the enemy was stunned.

Enemies[edit]

  • Fast elimination for Decimus unit is recommended due to his leader power.
  • Stay away from Decimus if the player spot Decimus is on the battlefield. The player may set up a trap to lure any of your units and make a quick work to eliminate it.
    • Form a quick countermeasure, or quickly initiate the counter-firefight to even the odds.
