==Playstyle== * Egil starts out with weak stats, but is actually the [[Leveling#Hero_Comparison_Table|human Hero with the highest Hit-Points (Strength+Armor)]] in the first game and is only surpassed by [[Folka]] in the second! * It is advised to increase his [[Break]] to max (3) and his [[Armor]] as much as possible. * Always remember to make use of the Raiders' passive, Shield Wall, to increase your teams Armor. Pairing Egil with other Raiders is even more efficient, granting +2 Armor to each per adjacency. * His active ability is ''conveniently ignored'' by the AI, meaning that enemy units will frequently attack him for no damage at all! This can be exploited to a large extent by increasing his Armor and positioning him aggressive amidst enemy lines. This will make him a 'damage sponge' while giving the rest of your units time to advance on the enemy. * The nature of this active ability makes the use of [[items]] drawing enemy aggression invaluable! A [[Godscale|specific item]] that increases both Armor and aggression is the optimal choice for Egil, letting him completely absorb damage, even of full-Strength attacks from [[Dredge Scourge|Destroyers]] or the [[Bellower]] himself!
