Mastering High-Speed Normal Attack Counters in Infinity Kingdom!

Hey there, it's Press Officer Mael. Today, we’re diving into strategies for defending against normal attacks in Infinity Kingdom. This guide will break down everything you need to know about countering intensive and frequent normal physical attacks, ranking the skills from best to fair or decent based on various scenarios. Remember, in many cases, the best attack is a strong defense. After all, the essence of true strength lies in knowing how to protect what matters most. Let's get started!

Defending Against Fast Normal Attacks

In Infinity Kingdom, battles rely on smart strategies and powerful immortals. One big challenge is dealing with fast normal attack immortals, especially in hybrid setups with Alexander and Hannibal. It's essential to know how to defend against physical damage. Immortals like Alexander the Great in pure Earth or alongside Hannibal in a hybrid Earth-Wind setup can quickly defeat their enemies.

This guide will show you how to counter high normal attack damage, focusing on Alexander or Hannibal's rapid strikes. By learning these tactics, you'll be ready to defend against intense attacks and win battles in Infinity Kingdom.

You can see the difference in damage and the number of attacks between my Alexander the Great and my enemy's Alexander, even though my enemy has 20,000 more Strategic Troop Power. Defending against normal attacks is just as important as launching them.

Infinity Kingdom offers a multitude of options to strategize around skills, talents, synergies, and combos, making it an addictive strategy game. Now, let's explore my favorite defensive skills to counter normal physical attacks. Feel free to share your thoughts or your own ranking!

Mael's Top-Tier:

I present my top-tier physical defense skills, offering optimal protection against normal attacks. These skills are vital when confronting ennemies who rely on high-speed attacks. Now, let's delve into the details of these skills.

Physical Shield: This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 27. It enhances defense against physical attacks throughout the battle.

Oaken Guard: This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 35. It stands out on its own and doesn't need specific combinations to work effectively. In a meta focused on Physical damage, this skill is invaluable and easily fits into any lineup. I currently use it in my Earth-Himiko set up to diminish incoming physical damages.

Toxin Barrier: This skill is a premium skill at TOK level 43. Leverages high attack speed against your enemies. This skill is mainly for Attack immortals at the front, taking lots of Normal attacks. The damage burst, fueled by their Physical Attack, deals serious damage, often shifting the battle's outcome. In some cases, it can also work well for Defensive immortals with hit-based mechanics.

Paralysis: Slows down enemy normal attack frequency. This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 40. Paralysis slows down fast enemies, making it handy against teams with quick attackers like Alexander or Barca. It's not super powerful generally, but it's useful in specific situations where you need to hold off enemies who rely on rapid attacks.

Void Realm: This skill is a premium skill. It strengthens your damage mitigation abilities. During the initial 18 seconds of battle, there's a 90% chance that you'll deal 90% less damage, but also receive 75% less damage. This skill effectively shields an immortal during the early game, ensuring they make it unscathed to the mid game.

Misleading : A "powerful" skill that increase your dodge chance, allowing you to evade physical attacks more effectively. This is usually equipped alongside Afterimage. This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 38. Misleading used to be more popular, but it's less favored now because of the abundance of Accuracy in the game. 

Energy Shield: This skill is a premium skill at TOK level 50. Ranked appart as this is my favorite one. This Defensive skill is exceptionally robust, with the only existing counter being a costly Chaos Immortal, which isn't as detrimental. Opting to Absorb damage rather than Heal it is often preferable since there are fewer counters, maintaining your HP at a high level.

Mael's High-Tier, Control Skills:

After looking at my top choices, let's now move on to control skills. These abilities can be used strategically to lessen the effect of fast normal attacks. In Infinity Kingdom, buffs and debuffs stem from a range of sources that produce various effects, resulting in buffs or debuffs on Immortals. Control skills play a crucial role in defending against high-speed normal attacks. They impose control effects on the target, preventing them from attacking or regenerating energy. However, it's important to note that some normal attack immortals may possess Control Immunity, rendering these skills ineffective against them.

Siren Gaze: This skill is a premium skill available at TOK level 46. Every 12 seconds into battle, you hold a 75% chance to taunt a random backrow enemy for 6 seconds. This forces the taunted target to direct their normal attack towards you. Additionally, you gain Siren’s Shell, silencing any enemy landing a normal attack on you for 1 second. With this skill, you can control 2 to 3 Immortals effectively, inflicting significant Silence. A silenced Immortal halts energy generation, severely impacting the opponent’s team tempo.

Weakening Curse: This skill is a premium skill available at TOK level 51. This skill reduces damage dealt by 70% from the start of the battle until either the opponent uses their ultimate skill or 45 seconds elapse. This skill perfectly fits our ranking. It's designed to counter Alexander and Hannibal, especially with their Exclusive Artifact turning their ultimate skill into a passive. As they won't cast it, they'll be affected for the entire duration.

Fighting Will: (more information on this skill here). This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 37. As per its description, whenever there's a 20% decrease in the number of soldiers (so when you take damage), it activates a Physical damage effect that targets all enemies and potentially roots them for 6 seconds with a chance of 45%. This skill really strengthens control abilities with root effects. Root serves as a "control" effect, imposing a negative debuff known as "confine" upon the enemy. When afflicted with Confine, the target is rendered incapable of executing normal attacks.

Root: (more information on this skill here). This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 22. Root is a control mechanism that specifically counters normal attacks (see below Confine effect). Though it may seem modest in rarity, Root is remarkably versatile and cost-effective.

Mael's Mid-Tier, General Defensive Skills:

Let's now dive into more general defensive skills that enhance your immortals' resilience. These skills provide protection against various forms of damage and are valuable additions to your team, bolstering your overall defense. With numerous skills to consider, I've chosen to focus on the best ones in my opinion.

Weakness Protection: This skill is a premium skill available at TOK level 48. It protects your Immortal with the lowest defense from both physical and magical damage.

Vitality Touch: This skill is a premium skill available at TOK level 36. General healing and shielding effects. Every 6 seconds into battle, it heals the allied unit with the largest troop loss and boosts its Physical and Magical Defense by 10% for 18 seconds. In my opinion, it's one of the most powerful skills in the game. Its only real counter is the Wound effect, so it's crucial to monitor your opponent's strategy. Nevertheless, it significantly enhances the safety and sustainability of your team.

Guard: (more information on this skill here). This skill is a premium skill available at TOK level 36.Guard specializes in redirecting damage, with a focus on fortifying the defense of a specified target. This skill ensures that the chosen immortal can endure more damage, making it an optimal choice for Immortals positioned at the forefront of the battlefield.

Fighting Master: This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 28. This skill is a widely favored skill that seamlessly integrates into any team composition. I personally use it on my Himiko to grant her control immunity, allowing her to remain effective throughout the battle and showcase her control abilities. This skill not only reduces the damage you receive but also provides control immunity, enhancing your combat prowess.

Shelter: (more information on this skill here). This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 40. In its essence, Shelter thrives in battles where the enemy's onslaught consists of numerous smaller attacks rather than sudden, overwhelming bursts of damage. This skill provides healing upon taking hits, making it effective against frequent small damage instances.

Blessing of Defense: This skill is available for everyone at TOK level 29. It simply provides with damage reduction for the first 12 seconds of the battle, including physical attacks.

I hope you enjoyed exploring these defensive strategies in Infinity Kingdom as much as I enjoyed sharing them with you. As we've seen, a strong defense is essential for countering high-speed normal attacks and achieving victory on the battlefield.
