Preface
The purpose of this guide is to provide ideas for build themes that fit into various role-play archetypes. Further details about the equipment I refer to here may be found at my other guide, along with answers to a variety of other questions about Wartales.

Dexterity & Critical Hit
This mid-to-late round spree killer that just won't stop. Valorous Victory combined with mastery Frenzy allows this unit to eliminate engaged targets one after another.

Willpower & Constitution
This controller ensures the battle goes your way regardless of when they enter the fray, able to serve as an off-tank, reduce incoming damage to the troop via evasion or maximize damage in the heat of battle. This unit is all about flexibility of when and how they enter combat. [Early Round] Using them early you can Low Blow a cluster of enemies before engaging a high priority target to potentially take out by them-self or set-up your next unit to do so. Engaging with their dagger attack and then disengaging with Blinding Powder allows you to make the most of their Anticipation passive. If you want to play more cautiously then Throwing Sickle, Leather Strap, Taunt, Sticky Oil and Low Blow all synergize very well to make this Light armored unit surprisingly durable. [Mid-to-Late Round] This is when Smoke Screen has the biggest impact, provoke attacks of opportunity from a cluster of engaged units or make the most of a friendly Archer's Barrage overwatch by pushing several enemies into it. Don't forget to pop your Captain's shout for more Valour Points to keep your troops going!

Willpower
This controller excels in the late round, cleaning up and setting up for the next. Utilize Smoke Screen to provoke attacks of opportunity from a cluster of engaged units or make the most of a friendly Archer's Barrage overwatch by pushing several enemies into it. Both Smoke Screen and Tactical Order pair very well with other units that have Valorous Victory. Low Blow lets you minimize the incoming damage next round, and Protective Oil allows them to get right into the middle of combat and provide both Supported to allies and Surrounded to enemies without worry of being damaged by friendly fire. Also serves as an excellent unit for capturing prisoners and animals, as Tactician's Dagger has low damage and won't provoke attacks of opportunity if attacking from the sides - allowing you to safely whittle away a unit's health.
