Playing chess with my bbc hangin out
Not L>R. Excels in denying a area and playing from a safe space that oversees a location. You can place pieces about 40 meters away from yourself and move them from 50 meters away. Please remember to dismiss your Bishop and Queen pieces if the action is not occuring in an area where you can control them so your cds can roll and you can place your 1 at better locations. Vortex web combo works a bit like Paige: 4 > Vortex Web > (Alch fire if bought +) 3 > Lightning Scroll proc> 4.
