Please rate this comment up so players new to the Protector Series can get an overview of the different abilities that aren't quite easily understood in this wonderful game.
1.) Debuff: This makes the effected enemy take more damage from all attacks.
2.) Consecration: This makes the unit do bonus damage to enemies that have the attacking units element as their strength. (I.E. Physical Paladin against Physical strengthed unit, Paladin does XX% more damage than it would without Consecration.)
I would put all of them, but the character count prevents me.

How Sunny 2 is rated higher than this I will never know.
Hey, I have a suggestion for a future protector game. There are a bunch of really interesting and visually appealing enemy sprites. Maybe for a future game we can play as the enemies and try to fend off an attack from the hero characters.
Great game though. Keep up the good work!

a good game 4/5. Some suggestions: 1) Allow the AI for each unit attack "first unit" "last unit" and " healthiest unit". Presently, all units attack the furthest forward unit. If I have a mage with poison skill, it's pointless to attack a unit with only a few HP's left... 2) There are too many flying waves in most maps for Melee units to be effective. 3) Most of the 'flavor' skills (e.g. steal, splash, berserk etc...) are not strong enough to be useful. The way through is pretty much always to grind with Archmages, which is not as much fun as if each map had a few units that serve best on it. 4) Need more info before embarking on a quest 5) Missions are not distinct enough. If the mission description is 'kill lots of orcs' the waves should mostly be orcs, it's lame to have a 'kill lots of orcs' mission that's 10 waves long with 4 waves of bats, and 3 waves of other stuff, and only 3 waves of orcs...

Small tip. In the case of when a monster comes into the range of two of your units at the same time, and both can act, the one you placed first attacks first.

Great game, although I have a few suggestions:
As was already suggested the documentation should be more detailed, I was looking at the paladin skill tree and saw consecration but had no idea what it meant. A game with this much depth should definitely have more detailed instructions.
Another thing I would like to do is be able to click on the wave number in the bottom left of the screen and bring the details about the wave back up. Like when you first get a new wave it shows details about that wave that includes armor/exp/gold ect, I would like to be able to bring that back up for the next incoming wave.
5/5 of course, this game still stands head and shoulders above most others and is really fun, thanks much keep up the good work!

Micromanagement heavy and almost exactly the same as previous ones. Dont let the tons of upgrades and other useless additions fool you. Same boring formula as most new games , copy old game add new collectables , quests , upgrades ect to keep you playing. Badges are nice tho.

sometimes I have a thief with very high damage (higher than it shows on the info box) then the next one is normal. glitch?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Glitch in the experience. Even when not involved in the combat, any of my units that have stats in wisdom will still gain exp.

Yes... I too want to be able to sell units... so I can replace basic units with advanced units (this is for players that didn't level up basic units so they save up money to buy the advanced units faster) ~~~
Also... I wish we could see the Unit's "skill/ abilities" before we even purchase the heroes... in order to determine if I want that units or not. ~~~
Another thing is, I wish some Equipments are more descriptive, as I have no idea what Gold Return, or Steal meant... but I am guess Gold Return means the money you get from monster kills? ~~~

The game's difficulty scaled downwards tremendously compared to Protector III which was a good sign, did not have to play through the same level to grind.

(Also, wouldn't let me put it all in one comment) Yes, I know the protectopedia is not done, but give the creator a break, he probably just finished the game, all except the protectopedia, which given the immense amount of units currently in the game, the protectopedia would be very, -very- long and time consuming. Most likely the creator is working on this currently, and will add it in a later update. And no, the game does not encourage you to power level certain heros, you're much more efficient and strong if all your heros are at nice level standings, not just two or three.

SittenSpynne, melee units are not useless. Melee units do the most base, straight out of the box damage than any other type in the game. If you have trouble with flyers, just get a hero with archers, flying units are then just cannon fonder. See, Melee units are damage dealers, Mages are elemental damage dealers, and ability users, Ranged units usually either go for winged units or just general power against armor. Though, Ranged units tend to be weaker than most of the other types without leveling up.

SOOOO EASY....is this game supposed to be difficult? Is there an option I am missing to make the game harder? A couple of high damage ranged units can kill anything. Most levels I can beat with Thieves only, or Crossbow men only...snore.... Mix 2 Elements together, with 2 ranged units = win. Every time. I quit using melee units completely after the second battle. Why would you waste a square on the map with a unit who cant participate in the hardest waves, which are usually flying creatures. Lack of hotkeys for all the ridiculous amounts of leveling up you have to do...incredibly aggravating. Protectorpedia - Useless
2/5

it sucks how you get the best units first because there's nothing to buy except equipment. and i also liked the previous games unit leveling up system. also i hate it when there's all ground creatures except for one flying unit. anyway other than these things its a great game 5/5

3 stars, it's a well-done game but in its current form I'm not sure I'd even call it half-finished.
I like having lots of units. It looks like there's 60+. Good thing I've got a Protectopedia to tell me about them, right? Well, it doesn't; it just gives me some lore that's nice but not helpful. The first thing I learned: melee units can't damage flying enemies. This would be fine, except the game's leveling system seems to encourage you to power-level one or two heroes and ignore the rest. So heroes with melee units are useless. You can swap units randomly, but there's no way to tell what units you can get except experience. Many units have buffs so similar they can be considered identical.
Maybe I'd know this stuff if I'd played Protector I-III, but that's not a good excuse. To me, it feels like the creator should have let this one sit on the drawing board for another couple of months and added some documentation. A big game requires explanation; this game lacks it.

Just repeat "The Great Hydra" for endless Exp =)
Good for those players that need extra help with the levels on the heroes. =)

Great game!
Just two things I'm unclear on-- what hits flying enemies, and which icons corralate to which elements? I'm pretty sure I know the answers to each, but I don't want to risk making a big mistake...

I'm not really sure that items that increase steal chance actually do anything, even when equipped to cutpurse and gentleman.

I disagree, arch wizards and regular wizards that hit a large area are perfect when they can poison the enemy for large ammounts of damage 1 or two of them can pretty much take out whole waves when they reach max posion level. They also level up even faster then others since they do hit a larger area allowing them to do more damage then anything else.

- cool game but it needs rock/paper/scissors in every quest, it seems that now when chosing fire hero you don't have to worry about anything. We still have 3 heroes for every quest so why not making quests requiring more than one element? Yes, there are a few quests that require 2 elements but you get my point.
- it's impossible to buy an advanced unit at the beginning of the quest even if you have enough money (Logistics 25+), my idea was to buy pala as the first unit, is it supposed to be so?
- xbow is still overpowered, no other units are needed. Why do we have so many units then?

I wish the storyline were longer! longer mini campaigns for each guild would be awesome (storyline is always cool =P).
That way finishing the game would be longer and longer =)

@Pieface2 :
as far as I remember from Protector 3, Consecration lessens the effect of the enemy's Strength; ie. if your unit has Fire element, and the enemy's strength is Fire, then your unit will have less damage penalty to it with consecration.
hope i remember right
