+ Strengths

  • Enormous front-rank damage

  • Skirmisher mobility

− Weaknesses

  • Only one healer (Arbalest) and not a great one
  • Shuffle is lethal to this comp

How to play

Both Highwaymen open with Duelist's Advance on turn 1 — the Riposte buff is the comp's engine and it must be up before enemies act. GR uses Lunge on the juiciest backline target if one exists; otherwise Thrown Dagger on whatever is marked or debuffed. Arbalest snipes the highest-priority target from rank 4. Refresh Riposte on any Highwayman who loses it before their offensive action — a Highwayman without Riposte up is just a slow melee hero. This comp struggles when enemies shuffle the Highwaymen out of ranks 1–2.
