From being an Ingame Dark Wizard, I cannot stress that Captains are a little too overpowered considering how easy they spawn and the current Maximum Level.
For those unaware what Captains are, they are a form of Magic Council Soldiers that spawn to fight Criminals with a high bounty (Roughly around 600 Crowns or higher). They are different due to a Pink Name, no helmet, a cape and a much higher level (Roughly 300 - 400).
From the fact on how easy Captains spawn (With higher bounties spawning 2 -3 captains at a time), and the fact it is impossible to get onto their level (As the highest level at the moment is 90) it’s nearly impossible to do Crimes without being destroyed in an instant. In my opinion, Captains need a nerf, used less often, or removed from spawning to Magic Council Responses.
They also have access to other forms of Magic (Hovering). Making them extremely hard to escape. It requires them to literally despawn to be avoided.
I should also mention they are not alone, as several soldiers will spawn alongside them. While the soldiers are fairly balanced (Around level 40 - 50). They still cause enough of a threat to allow the Captain(s) to almost guarantee a kill/arrest.
That is what makes them bad, an inescapable way of dying it’s extremely unfair. I literally just got killed by one that 3 shotted me with beam attacks.
we’re not meant to kill them now
we can, but they’re obviously extremely difficult to kill
if you need actual advice, i’d suggest being wary if it has a 20-barrage, because that will decimate you
watch out for guards/soldiers, depending on the magic they can freeze you (or anything similar), locking you in place and being forced to revel in the 50 20-barrages you’re getting
keep your distance and use magic, hide behind cover as needed
You aren’t supposed to kill them. The council will always be wayyyy more powerful than you. If you went on a genocide IRL, the police would never stop hunting you unless they knew you were dead or you were arrested. In the future, if you don’t die to the captains, then majors will surely finish you off.
One time I found a paper captain that only used one attack.
A really short (but deadly) beam that I could easily out range and clash with.
The difficulty of fighting captains is honestly based on luck, if you get one with a 20 beam barrage, you’re dead, simple as that, you can’t counter that.
But obviously, if you went on a Genocide could you be stopped?
The problem isn’t that they are too powerful, it’s that due to the Level Cap, they are too powerful AT THE MOMENT. Once we get a level cap to the Captain’s level It’s fairer.
