Warrior Tips: "Crystal Capture" (2h) - Warriors are fantastic fighters, and good tanks too. If you're trying to rush a crystals, say on Jacoal Hill for an example, go to the crystal to hold its position until you can take it as territory.
Scout Tips: "Turnaround" (D) - When being chased, you can take your opponent by surprise by suddenly turning around and rushing them with Venom Strike or Arm Break. If your enemy is quick to react, this is not recommended. "Sniper" (B) - Bow scouts aren't meant to get into the deep of a fight. Try staying to the back of a battle, use higher ground, and hide if you know you can't win.
Sorcerer Tips: Mages are strong but not meant for the frontlines of battle. Remember the range of reach with your attacks and time them right. Also, make sure to provide support with your attacks not just intend to kill. Ice mages can slow or root an enemy but it doesn't help much without a follow-up attack to assist. A fire mage can deal great amounts of damage but risk getting attacked during or right after casting due to the slow speed. Also the enemy has enough time to dodge if timed wrong. Lighting mages can attack at a bit more of a distance. Timing is everything with mages including the time that cast will last. (Nothing worse than cast running out in the middle of the battle field)

We could make a compendium out of this later, but I think for now we should let anyone who wants to just post what they think is useful, and we can discuss it later.
Notes on Dagger Scout Combat: 1: You are not truly invisible. Play like they can see you anyway, and be pleasantly surprised when they run by you. 2: You lack most ranged combat, so get used to getting in close. Anticipate which way the enemy will attack, dodge, then break them apart. A good order is arm, leg, guard, though the first two can be changed per preference. If vs another dagger scout though, always arm first, as they'll likely hit you with the same. If you have no weapon but they're only slowed, well, problem here. 3: Scan the screen with your mouse constantly. You are one of the best defenses your team has against hidden scouts. Even better, other hidden scouts are more often than not oblivious to you, looking at your unhidden allies with lower HP. 4: Dragon's Tail and Punishing Strike can be defeated by a Leg Break if you time it right. This is very hard to do though, so only practice if you'll die otherwise. However, if you manage it, this beats jumping out of the way, as you've done damage, slowed them, and have an opportunity for an arm break followed by severe ownage. 5: Hilarity ensues if you hide and use an enemy crystal for healing. 6: Eclipses and Gates are pretty weak. If you can sap them, do it. If someone comes to attack you though, try to kill them if they're alone. If a group comes at you, f*** it and run away. 7: You will hate: Bow scouts. They perhaps are the most common spotters of hidden dagger scouts, and will shoot you on the spot with an aerial just to blow your cover. You'll hate everyone else too, but these generally the most. 8: If you have 100 PW and are hidden, you can use Punishing Strike immediately followed by a Break of some kind, but then you'll run out of PW entirely. I use Arm so they can't strike me back, but they they run the hell away. If you can get a PW potion going beforehand though.... 9: Potions are your friends. Try to always have max hp. Almost every enemy will hate you completely, you are the true assassin of this game if played right, and will want you dead. If you have lower hp, you present a bigger target to more people. I've noticed myself turning away from full hp targets. 10: Assassin you are, but also you are a duelist/distraction. I spent two minutes against two opponents, both dagger scouts, just running around on their turf, arm breaking them and using potions to return to full hp. Eventually I just ran away. For taking myself out of the fray, I took two of theirs. Have enough scouts doing this, and you have 10 free soldiers while they have none.
