Great video as always! My alliance (not so strong) is running green tanks, so a lady of the lake would surely be nice! I did just get Congalach last underwild, hoping he might be useful once leveled as I currently only have 4* options for green otherwise (because RNG...). Looking forward to the 4* video!
LotL has evaded me too and I would love to have her. Congalach has crushed my attacking team a few times. I didn't give him much credit when I saw his card when he was released but I think he's better than I originally thought. I wish I had better numbers on him; he's just not used that much in our wars. Let me know how he works out for you once you level him. I'd love to know how he performs for you at tank. All the best Selene!
@@ssnakepitgaming Sure, I'd be happy to let you know, though I'm not sure it'll tell you much for your level, lol. Most teams in our wars tend to be 4400-4800 strong, with a few 4000/5000 outliers at times. I've been tracking my survivability rate after I discovered this metric in your channel, and I'm averaging 41.7% for the last 10 wars with my cKashhrek tank. Which is not because I'm some genius defender I'm pretty sure, lol, but instead I suspect survivability is generally higher at this level (I haven't tracked it for more than myself, so I have no numbers alas). Cheers!
@@selenewriter Selene, you don't know how right you are. I had 2 other people collecting data in their alliances when started version 2. I saw that lower alliances had slightly higher survivability rates across the board but I was happy to see that the different war types were still in line (ie Rush highest, then Attack Boost, then the other 3 close together). Kashhrek was my go-to tank for a long time when I get started :)
Thanks so much Snake! Super helpful, since I have Krampus and Santa. Wondering now if I should horde tokens to chase Mother North lol; I have a feeling that her costume may be a pretty significant step up because the healing is after the revive. I’d love to see both your four star and family bonus vids, although, it’s getting pretty hard to keep track of all the families, haha. Also, when will you wrap version 2 of your study?
I haven't decided yet when I'll wrap up V2. I was going to aim for about 3/4 of year to complete so people wouldn't have to wait quite as long to see all the newer heroes. The problem though, is that there are so many new heroes that the defense teams have become exceedingly diverse. Obviously the problem there is that I may not have a large enough sample for many of the heroes to be reliable. I'll find a balance and I'll know when I'm there but I'm guessing that I'll be rolling those numbers out by the end of 2022. Take care, thanks again for stopping in!
@@MIKEDG-gq5nm Same here. Even the stoneskin passive is enough to make my toes curl, let alone Goseck and Khufu attacks that basically vaporize your whole team. The number of heroes is also problematic for me. So many to learn and track with more on the way!
Thanks Ssnake, great series. I tank Killhare and get pretty middling results within my team. But pretty confident I dont have a better option. Am tempted to try C.Tiburtus. Got me wondering whether a good idea for a video would be to rate dark tanks specifically, moving on to other elements. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words OLO and thanks for watching! You could always try to see what the alliance thinks of our method where you can use a dark tank or two dark flanks instead. I've spoken about this arrangement in my first video about the year-long study and it is extremely effective if you drop a yellow tank in there flanked by darks. This method allows flexibility to those who don't have a great dark tank in the selected colour to explore other options, but still draws out the same colour from the attackers to some extent. You can see how this works too in my Guinevere video where I detail how the dark/holy relationship really works. All the best to you OLO, and I hope you stop by again!
Interesting video as always! Especially about the MN vs. Heimdall comparison. I can see how Heimdall would be better at tank for example, but I would have thought MN beat him in a rush wing by miles! I guess we´ll see how the MN costume does in the second edition and then the Heimdall costume in the third :D btw was this video on ALL the event heroes or did I miss something there? I can only seem to remember Pirate, Grimm forest and Avalon heroes, but no Guardians? Were there simply no Guardians used at all? I guess Villains, Slayers and Circus came out too late to make the usage cut.
Thanks G Pac! The Heimdall and MN thing shocked me when I saw it, so I had to share. I guess the HP Boost and damage buff trump the extra chance to revive. This was for all the events but only for those heroes that appeared over 90 times. Yes, I do have some data on other event heroes in version 1, such as Theobald and Bobo and Zuri from the circus but not enough occurrences to make the video. Guardians and Pirates are almost never used on defense it seems: Captain Kestrel was most used Pirate at 64 times used, and Guardian Owl was the most popular Guardian at a paltry 12 times used. Owl put up some incredible numbers on the wing in rush though, 54.7% over 9 times. I feel he is one of the most underrated and under appreciated heroes in the game for that niche position.
@@ssnakepitgaming I was just trying to come up with a Guardian to use on defense, but it´s really hard lol. They are mostly offense heroes. If I had to put one on defense, I would say probably the Gorilla? Of course the original version isn´t even close to as impressive as the costume is nowadays, but still seems like an OK choice? Or Panther as a wing? I would have thought Finley might be the most powerful Pirate, but he´s also much better on offense than defense.
@@Gargon667 yeah, sorry, other than Finley, Kestrel is next most used pirate. I think Guardian Kong is an excellent choice for rush, I wish I had him! Outside of him and Owl, I would be hesitant to use any of the others for anything but offence. Cheers G Pac!
