No, dogs are fast and decently accurate. And alps have no hp or armor to chew through and they take the sleep debuff instead of your polearm experts. And who fights alps on hills? This was set up deliberately.

[@boneman-calciumenjoyer8290]

@@justmeowth9697 very good beginner strategy, since early game Alp fights usually don't bring more than 3, so netting them is the way to go. It gets a bit more annoying when the game starts spawning 8+ for you to fight... mostly because you run out of nets at some point.

[@GrimaldiJ]

The video and editing are great. Alps, like most BB enemies, aren't too bad once you know how to prepare for them. Why bring ranged weapons, when they have 0% chance to hit? Bring A spear. Why have a shield on a guy? Leave it behind, so he gets the damage bonus. Bring the standard so you can wake everyone up, instead of doing it one at a time. Still, I know Alps frustrate players, and the video made me laugh.

[@brusombear3823]

oh damn never knew bannerman could wake everyone up makes sense

[@GrimaldiJ]

@@brusombear3823 I don't think they could originally, but somewhere along the line it was added. Technically, I think it's part of the "rally the troops" perk, so anyone COULD have it, but typically only the standard bearer. Also, resolve it important. I think the test to resist falling asleep is based on character resolve, and you take less damage from Alps the higher your resolve is, so the standard bearer can help with that, too.

[@paleface171]

Reach weapons like polearms, pikes, warforks, and a brother or two with rally the troops does help a lot when going to battle with enemies with resolve based mechanics. Having high resolve on your brothers is mandatory when fighting foes like Geists, Hexen, and Alps. Alps can put your brothers to sleep, Geists will make your brothers panic and flee, and Hexen will mind control your brothers to kill your own squad. High resolve does drop the chances of being affected by these enemies, but it doesn't grant immunity. Also bring nets when fighting Alps to keep them in place and so they don't teleport.

[@HelicopterShark]

Net one and get away from it... Then net another, until all are netted they don't break out, then hit one in a net. Every time they are hit 2 things happen. They randomly swap location with another alp (they can roll on themselves and stay still) then move to a tile within 2 tiles of their new location (unless their new location is in a net) the one you hit then takes the damage (if killed the net breaks at their new location) Other things to remember, their sleep and nightmare attacks have a range of 2 and nightmare ignores armour..... So fight them naked or in lighter armour cus they can spawn with dire wolves.

[@Okxyd]

Alps are easy to deal with as long as you have a bannerman with a sergeant perk (basically they can’t put you asleep), dogs make the fight almost trivial. The real pains in the ass in BB are necrosavants, orcs warboss and southern armies.

[@kelva1304]

Rally the troops wakes everyone up in it's range. contrary to expectation, handgonnes don't do the same... Whips and warscythes are great. Always have at least 3 brothers in a clump, so they can wake each other up if needed. Alps target the bros on the edges, so you can retire a bro inside your blob formation relatively safely if they get too damaged. Have colossus on everyone. Figthing alps very early on - bring dogs and nets (or just don't).

[@deividymario2408]

I always find funny How most of my Alps quest are on harbors, cause you know, they have the perfect item to counter Alps.

[@AssassinFOURnolan]

The trick is to remember theyll always be within 2 tiles of your bros, and that since its night ranged weapons wont really hit. Giving everybody pitchforks or pikes is the way to go, unless you can pull off getting close with a high dmg 2h like Zwei. Stay bunched up in one big group or in 2-3 smaller groups and rotate after you hit with your long reach weapon so everybody can get a stab off.

Get a banner man with high resolve, monk is good for early banner man. I think rally can wake up your man. Your archers or crossbow won't do nothing coz Alps battles are mostly at night. Nets can help you. Don't bring your shields, don't chase them far from your teammates. If you can't fight avoid them till the mid game.

As soon as i encountered alps i knew how to deal with then, i noticed theyd always teleport 2 tiles away from your bros, so id just equiped everyone with polearms, doesnt matter what they are build wise because blocking doesnt do shit, and ranged is just kinda useless in this fight till they run If you do this, you wont have to move very much and you can end up grouping in a round circle formation so they then only teleport in the middle of the circle Ive only done the formation once so i couldnt tell ya how but its possible

[@Frendlu]

Pelearms and poleaxes are ok, but the definitive way to kill them its: Net them. Start whipping them to get free xp without being attacked. Their sleep thing is only usable to 2 tiles away from the Alp, but a guy with a whip can attack 3 tiles away making this fight, a meme. Funny to see how they get killed without taking your mens any injuries/damages/wounds/deaths by just whipping them until death.
