RE: Against backstabbers, use shellshock!

A solid win. GG. Your Windmaster was poisoning everything. I knew I was in trouble when I realised that Ice pixie was getting her armour repaired.
I'll have to level my Tortisian Fighter.

Sort:  

In the last few days, I've given up using Gelatinous Cube as a tank. It is always killed in the first round. I'm using it as an off-tank all the time though.

Yeah, takes a while for other deaths to build up it's health. One trick I've been enjoying is in Target Practice I'll start with a weak, volatile tank, like Exploding dwarf, then Jelly Cube behind him. The tank dies reasonably quickly, as the cube takes a bit of damage and hopefully scavenges some health. Then the cube drops into first position, which is typically much safer, and heals from any first round damage it's taken.
By the time the backrows have duked it out, they often don't have enough damage output to take my cube down.

I think a largely unexplored strategy in Target Practice is abusing the first position. You can reliably use, say, Mech Goblin, since magic casters will ignore it completely thanks to forced snipe.
