Illian is a Level 35 Nature Player. Currently and for the last month the top PvP Nature player in Saga. Additionally Illian is sponser by Team Saga Units, for upcoming tourneyments.
From the Saga forums Illian has a aggressive reputation, in my perspective always being ready for PvP, and with alot of experience in it.
I did an interview with him today, where he was nice enough to answer a few questions for me:
Q: How long have you been playing Saga?
Illian: I've been playing since the last year in closed Beta.
Q: What is your favorite Unit Type?
Illian: Elven Bear Riders. They have alot of potential on the battlefield that others don't see, plus it's an elf on a Bear :)
Q: What potential?
Illian: It's the perfect unit to screen against Heavy Cav, and it can be trained to be extremely tough against ranged.
Q: What other games do you play at the same time as Saga if any?
Illian: Eve Online
Q: How many hours a day do you play and how many do you pvp?
Illian: On average three hours hardcore play time. PvP time varies greatly. I try to PvP when I can, but it's hard to get challengers.
Q: Who is your favorite PvP opponent?
Illian: Kheldara
Q: What is the number one change you would like seeing for Saga in terms of PvP?
Illian: I want lots of changes but the number one would be a bug-less pvp with more battle options.
Q: How many active PvP players do you think exist now in Saga?
Illian: I would say less than 20 (that are not low-balling).
Q: What is your favorite strategy for pvp?
Illian: Microing ranged units screen with Elven Bear Riders.
Q: Any shoutout you'd like to do to other nations?
Illian: What's up Showstopper and Gummi :P
My thanks to Illian for being the first in hopeful an interesting series of interviews.
I also got his permission to crosspost his PvP videos. If you haven't had a chance to watch these, I would recommend it highly in terms of explaining why Saga PvP is so good:
