Commander's Tactical Evaluation

Reviewed by Don
¹ “Nevsky is an Sx27 Footmen cooldown-reduction and skill-echo carry. His Skill 2 (Tactical Strike, 60% base chance) deals 320% skill damage to 2 enemy squads, casts twice consecutively (1-round cooldown), and permanently gains +5% activation chance per cast. Skill 5 (Legion Command) has a 45% chance to reduce all friendly squads' skill cooldowns by 1 round while granting either Sober status or a 100% pre-action troop heal each round. Whenever any friendly Footman squad casts a combat skill, Skill 8 (Battle Skill Echo) has a 75% chance to deal 285% follow-up damage and amplify the target's skill damage taken by +20%.”

Deployment Summary: Nevsky is a Ranged commander introduced in Sx27 (rated High Tier). Commands Footmens in the Back row (with secondary flexibility in the Middle row), following an unlock priority of 8th - 6th - 7th.
