To play the refined Penhaligon in the Otherworld Legends v3.3.0 update, deploy your line infantry along room choke points, bombard clustered waves with artillery strikes, and step into melee range to protect your squad from advancing elites. The refinement transitions Penhaligon from a passive summoner into an active battlefield commander with faster skill deployment, sharper minion tracking, and smooth transitions between commands and personal weapon strikes.
Deploying and Directing Line Infantry
Penhaligon's foot soldiers establish room control by providing continuous ranged fire while intercepting advancing monsters. In v3.3.0, your troops acquire targets faster upon entering the field and focus fire on enemies you strike directly.
Follow these rules when deploying your squad:
- Anchor choke points: Place your firing line horizontally near entryways, corridors, or room boundaries so incoming enemies group into a single lane of fire.
- Keep summon spacing: Avoid dropping your soldiers directly onto elite enemies that use wide cleave attacks. Place the line slightly behind your entry position so Penhaligon takes the initial aggro.
- Synchronize your fire: Fire your sidearm and secondary abilities to match the squad's volley intervals. Concentrated bursts stagger aggressive enemies before they reach your riflemen.
- Designate priority targets: Attack dangerous ranged or charging units directly with your saber or gun to pull minion targeting away from low-threat fodder.
Calling Artillery Strikes
Penhaligon’s heavy ordnance skills deal burst damage and break enemy armor. The v3.3.0 update reduces the activation delay on artillery strikes, making it easier to hit moving targets.
- Target bottlenecks: Save artillery strikes for groups of enemies halted by your summoned frontline rather than throwing bombardment at widely scattered targets.
- Lead charging packs: Against fast-moving packs, place the strike reticle slightly ahead of their path so they run directly into the blast zone.
- Punish locked animations: When facing stationary bosses or enemies locked into heavy attack animations, stack artillery strikes directly underneath them for maximum burst damage.
Penhaligon Combat Rotation
Use this sequence to clear rooms while keeping your soldiers protected:
| Phase | Tactical Action | Primary Objective |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Engagement | Dash along the room flank and summon infantry | Establish a safe firing perimeter outside the main crossfire. |
| 2. Softening | Drop artillery on clustered elite enemies | Break enemy armor and thin incoming crowds. |
| 3. Control | Intercept targets with saber slashes | Keep melee monsters pinned inside your squad's firing lane. |
| 4. Finishing | Fire sidearm bursts alongside minion volleys | Clean up remaining stragglers and reset skill cooldowns. |
If an unexpected spawn traps your soldiers, do not stay in deep melee. Dash backward immediately, re-center yourself between the enemy and your squad, and use knockback or sidearm attacks to push enemies out of your line's perimeter.
Recommended Item Priorities
Penhaligon performs best with hybrid builds that support both his summon uptime and his personal combat presence:
- Cooldown Reduction: Shortening skill cooldowns ensures continuous infantry uptime and frequent artillery strikes, preventing gaps in room suppression.
- On-Hit Status Effects: Items that inflict freeze, stun, slow, burn, or lightning arcs keep incoming threats locked down, giving your infantry uninterrupted firing windows.
- Defensive Sustain: Items that grant temporary shields or health recovery upon skill activation protect Penhaligon when he steps in front of his squad to parry elite melee attacks.

The tips are practical and easy to follow.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Good guide for Otherworld Legends players. The strategy part was useful.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
