Description:
Both Manticores and Scorpicores are great support units in the Dungeon army. They have high initiative and often are the first to make a move. Thanks to their big mobility, enhanced with haste they can get to enemy ranged units as fast as in the first turn. However their role doesn't end just there. The Sting can slow down even the fastest enemy units, while Scorpicores lower enemy initiative by 10 points - that might let your units eliminate him before they can make a move. The Venom of Manticores and Chimeras lowers the enemy defence, additionally increasing the effectiveness of your other units. Attacking with your flying units and afterwards with Assassins or Shades can destroy even the most resistant enemy squad in one turn.
