5+1 Advantages and Disadvantages

Using a 5+1 can be a very effective way to attack enemies. However, there are a few disadvantages.

First, it only works with PL ~70+. If you try it with lower PL (because of lower hero amount), it can leave gaping open spots in your rally.

Second, Reinhard is not a tanking god. He has faults and can die. If he does die it can severely leak through and get your ranged units massacred by a Lancelot that got through. Often my Philinus squad gets attacked and killed.

Advantages? Quite a few.

5+1 is a good idea if you have good three-star archers. The rest of your army attacks with strong firepower and your Reinhard (and maybe Alash) hold back until your army gets there. I prefer using my "firepower maximum row" in a 5+1 rally.

My "firepower maximum row" is a row consisting of Hyacinth, Ignatius, Saladin, and Octavius.
