Organ Gun cone-volley positioning
Organ Gun: Organ Guns spread multiple projectiles across a cone, making them effective against groups with little pierce armor. Their output drops against targets with strong pierce protection, so formation and matchup matter more than simply adding numbers.
Overview
Organ Gun: Organ Guns spread multiple projectiles across a cone, making them effective against groups with little pierce armor. Their output drops against targets with strong pierce protection, so formation and matchup matter more than simply adding numbers.
Plan and execution
Keep Organ Guns behind a screen and line the cone across a compact enemy formation. Use them to punish low-armor units that must approach, then reposition when the opponent adds high-pierce-armor troops. Bring siege or another ranged line to handle targets the volley cannot efficiently damage.
Risks and adaptation
Cavalry and siege can reach or outrange an exposed group, while pierce-resistant targets blunt the volley. Do not keep firing into a matchup that has already turned against the Organ Guns.
