Here's an interesting tactical problem I ran across on the ladder:

(look at the screen dump. Ouch)

Like the poster says, Earthquake (or *Destruction*) would be his best
bet. But apparently it's not an option. So: should he go for the
stairs, or hug the wall, and hope that (a) the wimpy demons don't kill
him, and (b) no big breathers/ball-casters show up before recall kicks
in?

I fear the answer is (c) bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.


Berserkers have Earthquake as a innate power. In this situation it is the only
option I guess...
