Common VS Tactic VS Strategy

For those who have hang out in Co3k for awhile might understand, What is common, tactic or Strategy in here.. I just wondering, is it really Strategy is the best? or actually Common is the secret weapon? or perhaps TCA build is for newbie player? Before that, I'd like to explain each one base on my understanding.. Hope we can share more info here..

Common = LD(status in your hero), the bigger your LD the more COMMON damage your hero can apply n have more defend against common attack too.  The way to increase your common attack is by using WEAPON n keep upgrade it.  It is the cheapest upg price item, if compare to horse(tactic) or book(strategy). N the fastest attack item that you can get. Start from Carnage map, you can already farm gold weapon(highest rank item).  This common damage can be reduce by using good ARMOR. ( beside flag n academy technology)

Tactic = BV (status in your hero), the bigger your LD the more TACTIC damage your hero can apply n have more defend against tactic attack too.  The way to increase your tactic attack is by using HORSE n keep upgrade it.  The price of upg is quite expensive, second to book. The fastest way to get it is by dealing at Dealer, but it gonna drain your silver like the way you never imagine, depends on your target items.  This tactic damage can be reduce by using good CLOACK. ( beside flag n academy technology)

Strategy = STA (status in your hero), the bigger your STA the more Strategy damage your hero can apply n have more defend against strategy attack too.  The way to increase your strategy attack is by using BOOK n keep upgrade it.  This is the most expensive upg price around.  The fastest way to get quality books is by Daily quest.  You need at least have 4 star of Daily quest to start getting green books. This is only recommended for VIP user. If you aim a purple book or above. It is estimated 5k gold for a purple book(by keep refresh the quest for getting the star that you need to complete your sets), n 40k for a orange book. This type of damage can not be reduce by any type or armor equip except flag n technology.  This what make all co3k player dare to spend a lot just to get the books!

Here is the real thing now..

Common damage hero, usually are machine n tiger. They may have an increase damage, or some area damage depends on the troops type, BUT they will never have additional effect such as Stun, moral reduce, etc.  But the common troops hero, usually have more troops than the other.  As from my knowledge, the best Common damage hero that I know right now is YANYAN, Shu prestige hero.. The tiger troops that even better than Jushou(you can recruit him at Guandu Map)

Tactic damage hero, Can apply both common damage n tactic damage. Too apply tactic damage, the need to refill the morale meter. Every Hit or getting Hit will increase 1/3 moral meter. If you have an inspire troops type, it can directly full your moral meter(Zhang jiao, Diao Chan, etc). The weakness of this troops is, it can be counter by using drummer or morale reduce effect type attack, to prevent your troops tactic meter to full. But This kind of troops, have the best Aoe damage, some even have effect like stun, increase defend, moral reduce, etc.  N this type of troops usually is the favorite at the beginning stage of development.

Strategy damage hero, will always apply Strategy damage in first turn n common attack in second turn, also will always repeat this pattern.  This type of troops usually have the lowest Hit point. What make this type of troops being fear is, there is no equip that can reduce the damage.

But what I feel here is, somehow Strategy troops are so over rated. Why? because first, they still can be stun, to prevent them from action, there is also some tactic troops that can stun for even a row..! Second, They only move once for every two turn, most player will not equip a full caliber upgrade weapon to their sta hero. So you can forget the second common attack.

As for common attack, yes they tend to miss too, but!! they always attack, every round!! you can only stop them with stun..! SO, if you compare with the Strategy troops, even if their attack is half the strategy damage on PVP. It will be equal if the common damage have half of the strategy troop.  N this is not even counting the most expensive upg items is BOOK!  N yet strategy troop have the lowest Hit Point!

Tactic attack!!!!  You can't ignore this type of troops!! As long as they get full morale, they are non stop tactic attack!! they also have the highest damage, it just they can be defend by using a very good cloack.  But! you will need to upg each cloack for every of your Hero at battlefield..! Not even counting the troops effect!!

So, which one is your favorite?? N please state your reason..
