the ambush is really good for jules, i found legendary heroes with knight captain or musketeer captain.abygail and lysander are my best leader with +15 capacity unit
Hard disagree on swordmaster. Got a squad of them, they were freaking awesome in ambush and even in general. They performed really well against all type of unit, specifically with wrecking a frontline. Their skill facilitate a lot the crit, helping with dealing a killing blow, and their dodge really upped their survivality. In the hardest difficulty setting, got a squad of them and they were one of my best one.
I know I'm kinda late to the party, but whatever. IDK if they changed the turn order, but guns and cannons go first- and they go by row order. Light infantry goes before heavy, who go last. Rangers and assasins are extremely squishy. Most of my ambush teams will have sword masters at the front because they hit decently hard, tank decently well (for light inf) and aren't too hard to get. They can get quite killy with some crit investments. Ambush squads are damn strong, but aren't so great in the games many open fields. Knights are expensive- but they are kings of the open field- well worth the investment for one or two squads. Cav shock would be OP if the enemy AI didn't spam spears and centurions after a certain point- they can basically ignore the presence of archers. add a Valkyrie or two for a little bit more staying power and they will last a long time without much support. Paladins- especially with a little healer support- are absurdly tanky. They don't do a ton of reliable damage so back them with mages or dragons or something capable of bringing a lot of pain. Basically, their job is to get hit a lot and they do it better than Sentinels. Warbows are one of my favorite classes. You can pick up a tech that let's them Ambush- which doesn't *sound* especially useful, but it let's them attack enemy archers without reprisal at range. They make both defensive and offensive sieges a lot easier. They'll butcher gunners, cannoneers, and mages by the truckload with a little investment- not so great against heavy inf, of course, and you gotta watch out for knights, but that's a given. Zweihanders can shred light inf.... But so can Centurions. And Centurions are immune to cav shock and do bonus damage to cav units on top of hitting multiple enemies at once. They are also fairly tanky. Niether are great at killing heavy inf- one of the more common types of troops in the game- but at least centurions can reach in and touch the healers and mages in the middle row. I'll generally keep one or two squads just to serve as cav bait/cleanup. Templar heals are a *lot* stronger in and out of battle than a pally or a valkyrie. Worth having at least a couple in your army, and if you have a squad meant for area denial/tarpitting/ground holding they are a great addition. For someone who likes cannons as much as you do, I'm suprised that you don't value units that are good at holding chokepoints. The game has tons of them and bottling enemies up then shelling them to death with cannon teams or warbows is very effective. Heck, this kind of strat allows you to go whole hog on warbow teams- just nine warbows and nothing else. I haven't used Champions enough to judge them just yet. their reqs are kind of prohibitive and their stats don't look that impressive. cannons are great but I hate guns. Gunmen will get shredded by any decent bow enemy or thief, they don't do enough damage to kill the tankier enemies quickly (like paladins). You basically need to get to the end of two tech trees to make them truly good. Plus they use one of the rarest resource types to recruit- not worth it IMO. If I don't kill a team in one turn then I should at least thin their numbers- and guns are bad at that unless you go all in on them. Dragons are great in general. They are pretty much anti-everything. But also damn expensive and limiting, because they take two spaces. Sentinels.... Honestly, they suck. They are mid as meatshields and bad as damage dealers. can't recommend using them. They are easy to get, however, and so have some utility.
Fk i really wish you would have at least said massive spoilers were going to be in this tier list before you announced stuff like jules is a freakin king.... thanks bro!!!!!!
Bro ive only just started this game, & i love it but what your saying is gibberish to me, you look powerful as! Can you give beginner tips instead of such powerul army tips. Like i said im still new it doesnt make sense what you saying.
I dont know understand this game… 10 times to hard for me and Im playing in normal mode. Im probably stupid but i dont understand how bit them their units are much more powerful than mine
I think to be fair, you should also consider the cost and availability of the units. A cheap effective unit is still better than an expensive effective unit. That mean, I will rank Knight higher than firearm since Knight is easier to mass product and perform well against many enemies.
I half accidently watched the part around 36:00... and at least in the newest patch, whatever Iron and obsidian you used you would get back after unlocking that top skill so i would say it was kinda worth it.
heh, watching this after just beating the game for the first time (I played the toughest difficulty without permadeath tho). Some things I did a bit the same but it seems you have many things planned better. One tip that worked really well for me tho: For beatrix, equip her with the item that makes your allies attack for 25% less but which gives your leader double attack. It´s really good with Beatrix since her attack is so strong but normally only comes out once.
1. Always move with a bait squad. The Bait squad can neither protect the LIS nor lure the enemy squad move near to the bush for the ambush. 2. Mix between Rangers + Assassins to make a volley (Don't go full for any types, that will be a waste because they will target the corpses). 3. Disarm is a great trait for LIS if you can't take the enemy squad down in 1 hit. Along with Treasure Hunter or Thievery (For farming resources). 4. Target Enemy Mage/Assassin/Ranger Squad (the one with highest CP). Always start an ambush if possible. 5. Bring 1 Oracle/Valkyrie/Templar for survival Range attack or on Defense. You can turn the table with LIS if they're all survive. Especially an Oracle with high SKL is great.
Thanks for the video! Can you please tell me if your 10 tips are 100% or mostly updated to December, 2023 and with the DLC updated patches etc.? Happy 2024!
Hey! Sorry I am not sure, I haven't played the DLC yet so I cannot confirm. But if you find out, please let me know! I am sure most of them still apply.
you are the only man who really explain about these tokens arena because I was clueless about the leveling is kinda tough , when you level them up you cant do the objectives is that important for tokens???? will I get items anyway?>?
If I recall correctly, you still need to win the map in order to keep the levels. Otherwise, you will lose the time you spent in the arena. After winning, you still get some resources but not the maximum; but that is fine if you use my money making tip to make money elsewhere.
Hello, i know this an old video, but I was wondering if could share the program script to calculate all the stats that you have. Seems very interesting . Don’t know if you still have it as i know you have moved on to others game. Last time i saw a video of you was when Dubsteprod invited you to talk in his channel. I am currently in his guid . Cheers
I have a question. You stated in the unit composition section that you put a Polearm unit between your Assassina ti boost their damage. Dont Polesrm units provide a boost only to adjacent Polearm Units?
Hello! I have not played the game in a while but I found online the description for the Polearm Mastery. It says "Polearm units now grant bonus attack and defense versus melee to any adjacent units." Adjacent means to their left and right, therefore units in the same row. Now the description is not very great and it does not specify that it applies only to other polearm units. So back then, I assumed it granted an attack bonus but I might have been wrong.
maybe they fix the bug, now the Arena can not level up infinitely, each squad can only take 3 times attack from one same enemy squad with XP, no matter the level is lower or higher
As a new player, I have to say Stefen is not good at early to medium stage of game, the rogue or assasin team is so weak to defense, if Stefen squad can not one-shot enemy squad in first turn, they'll be suffer heavy loss.
How is Jaromir bad? His trait might be useless, but he starts with a very high capacity. I was able to stick 3 dragons, a paladin and a templar on his team immediately when I unlocked him, a full team without any investment. His leadership was only lower than my two most used characters at that point. EDIT: later I figured out that, because he is cavalry, his unit can't fly. RIP. Ended up giving his dragons to Beatrix when I recruited her. With Ataraxia and Imperial War Banner, she can rear 3 dragons from the get-go. As for Jaromir, I guess I would place him in low B tier, his only good point is the very high capacity. I suggest giving him a Captain trait and filling his team with 9 units.
If squad is done correctly, Jaromir is a beast, no matter whether hes on tundra or not. Any leader has the potential to be awesome with the right squad setup and artifacts. Also need to use them for the right situations.
swordmasters are insain with diana why? cause they attack before diana and can clear the front row the diana and her front line can now kill the second row. people remember how you build can make or break a squad. also i would love to see what he think of the changes with the DLC. it has changed the game a bit.
if u use my tip....if u use my trick...if u use my xxxx....u say the same thing many many times in the video. deep breath dude. slow it down a lil bit.
Assassin killing backline is actually detrimental for forcing surrenders. And even if we ignore that, they are useless against frontline so they basically only attack (with efficacity) once on offense and... None on defense. So far form being a S tiers. I go for ranger if i want sneaky killers. They are far more efficients, bulkier and cheaper on ressources (two obsidians for an assassin ? No thanks) Walkyries are way overated. Their physical tanking is on the lower side. Their healing is on the lower side. Their damage is on the lower side. In fact, Walkyries are doing too much for their own good and end up outclassed on pretty much everything they do by a better unit. And they need a horse which make them even less appealing since horses are an absolute necessity for raiders and knights. If magical tanking is really that much needed, go for paladin.
wow. Sentinel is C tier. It blocks fire arms. For me Valkyrie are useless. I just need 5 horses in 9 units. I will take Templar instead. Swordmasters can hit really hard. Your tier lists are very diff/. I put 2x Samurai as tank in my Raiders group. For me, Fire mage is stronger than others.
i felt this way too, like the champion felt much better than shield boi. however after reading forums the sentinal is much better late game due to the amount of firearms
Personally I'd put Jules in S tier. And bump Narima up to A if you keep her near Jules. Reason being that I always build Jules' group as a strict horse archer group and aways keep him on high ground to benefit from the Artifact that increase damage when attacking lower enemies. I also give him the one that takes 10% of his health a turn, but also heals him per enemy killed. It's not uncommon for him to be among the few survivors on mission 12 since cannons will try and focus him and do minimal damage due to attacking from lower, while he murders them due to the extra damage as well as healing whatever damage dealt to him through the arti.
Cool list. Made my own from warlord PD also : S: Dragons, Cannons A: Mage, Knight, Dragoon/Gunner, Ranger, Valkyrie, Templar B: Paladin, Hassar, Sentinel, Swordmaster, Champion, Raider, Warbow, Assassin, Zweihander C: Sorceress, Centurion, Samurai The notable differences are Assassin & Templar. I don't use Assassin at all because they eat 2 obsidian, have no health, and feel gimmicky compared to the more flexible phased Ranger (which you were selling me on even more after the mention of -25% armor crossbow). I use the templar in every enemy phase squad, 2 with Diana. Staying topped off is great, and archers turn into free healing machines. Also don't forget that Templar gives the rest of the squad the +3 weapon damage whereas the other 2 Tier 3 medic unit types are likely already in the squad.
Funny part with Lysander is that any unit that's tanky in his squad has beacon they are basically immortal because of his heal its such a broken combo.
Great setup I had for him was middle row of three riflemen, and front row of three Centurions, with a Hospitaller/Templar and Oracle in the back with him. Very little they couldn't do.
Without the nephilim powers (wich are still available without Lindly/Devoa being deployed) the MCs are not really strong in my opinion...so in no way S-Tier! Narima is the one and only S-Tier in my opinion cause she has melee and longrange attacks and she hits the hardest..one single attack can kill full health units because of her insane stats and skills...additionally she can melee attack walls and can attack EVERY unit regardless of position. Additionally she boosts Jules defence...why the hell are you putting her in B-Tier?? Diana and Beatrix in S-Tier works for me because later in the game they can have significant impact. But Stephan is so A-Tier...he has nice skills for getting money but his base stats and performance are not superior enough for S-Tier. Barnie is just a slightly better knight so no A-Tier, more of a B-Tier...same with Jules. Abigayle is a goddess because of her dragon affinity which boosts and accelerates the development of dragons which are the one and only goal for the late game. Everything below A-Tier for her is an insult. Raskuja is a demi-god for the backrows cause he evades almost every backrow attack...additionally his snipershots hit very hard if you care for his skill stat and crits...definitely A-Tier! Joromir is the same as Barnie and Sybil...sorry but she is neither a good templar nor a good paladin...C-Tier is quite generous of you. Thx for your vid...I really enjoy that you post content for one of my favourite games. Don`t let yourself be bothered by my remarks please..I just could`nt behave :)
