Defense and Tanking Ability
In general, the 3 main classes Horse Rider, Swordsman, and Pikeman are the better tanks than the ranged classes. Based on these main classes, your heroes can having varying defenses. Whenever you can, always place the heroes with the best defense in the front line to take enemy fire. With stronger defense ability, they make better tanks and take less damage from enemies. Same rules apply when you are picking equipments, if you have limited numbers of defensive armors, always put them on the tanks at the front line.
Unit Weakness and Strength
The weakness and strength is a biggie in Knights of the Rose. The advantage and disadvantage battle flow follows the following rules:
Pikeman > Horseriders
Horseriders > Swordsman Melee
Swordsman > Pikeman
Always follow these rules when you are placing and organizing your battles. Never ever use the weaker chain against their stronger enemies.
Ranged Unit Placement
Place your ranged units in the back row and utilize the tanking ability of your melee classes. However, place your ranged units at the left top grids to have earlier attacks.
Skill Usage and Upgrade
Skills can make or break your battle results as well. Your first priority is to make sure that your heroes have the strongest and fully upgraded skills possible. The skills are activated depending on whether or not your troops are taking hits. Thus, you have the potential to activate skills faster if you place a single tanking unit to take more hits. This is a double edged sword because that unit may also die faster by taking more damage. This placement technique should only be used sparingly.
