Understanding the terminology is essential for better communication on BN It is necessary. The text listed below does not include everything you will hear. For some commonly used words, Blizzard's official website does not include them. The reason is probably because those words are not polite. However, those words are displayed here, but of course I don’t want everyone to use them in the game.

Once this tactic is defeated, it is usually impossible to rally and defeat the opponent.

Strategy
--------------- -
Chainwave: Chain Lightning Shockwave
Gruntapult: Grunt siege engine. This tactic is often used by the First Prophet to harass enemy peasants. When the level 1 base is built, double barracks will be built to produce grunts, and when the level 2 base is built, siege engines will be produced. This tactic is most effective against NE, but is also effective against races that insist on putting out ground troops. Grunts have an advantage when attacking units with medium armor, and siege engines have an advantage when attacking units without armor or reinforced armor.
Bat/Wyv: Troll Bat Rider and Wind Rider. Harassment is crucial in this tactic because almost no first-level units, such as Gollum, are created. It's best to harass them with Juggernauts and Prophets, and then build one or two arrow towers. Quickly upgrade to the second level base and build two animal pens. After completion, start to quickly spawn the Storm Rider and Troll Bat Rider. Bats are very effective against light air units like Horned Eagles, and have decent damage against structures. Wind Knights are very effective against ground melee units like Huntresses because the opponent cannot attack them. But it is not conducive to fighting a large number of ground long-range troops.
