Giant gauntlet comparisons…see the differences between all the king abilities. 

Exactly, this test highly favors the rage gem, because it heals the King. If you wait till he is almost dead to pop an ability that doesn't heal, what good it that? It was never a good idea to let the King get low enough to auto pop his ability, he needs more time to use his ability fully.

Fun fact, I also did an immediate trigger and a 50% health trigger for the first experiment. Both had nearly the same results as letting it go to auto ability.

All of that is discussed in the video.

@@trampledamage Try it at different % points. I think the glove should be used above 75%.

@@trampledamage Thank you for your contributions to science

definitely saving this comment for the year 2132

i think healing and gaunglet is better.

@@thepeacea1227 are you a women?

100% agree. People will want to think of the equipment like troops. Sometimes, a few sneaky goblins are perfect, and other times they are useless. There will be times when each piece shines.

I agree with the summary here.

i think healing and gaunglet is better. gaunglet power should be used earlier not when king is dying then the ability can't be used for more time or exact time.

After much deliberation the combo of unicorn/vampstache/Gauntlet really keeps the king living and doing most damage.

Glad it was helpful!

Agree. I have been doing some other testing, and he can really punish tightly packed compartments when he is raged and gauntlets.

I feel like this whole thing went over your head. No worries. Do it with the audio on next time.

Very welcome. It took a bit of time, and while it is not even close to covering 100% of situations (likely about 7% of situations), it is intended to help show people how it is perhaps not going to be as scary to slow roll upgrades or even miss an epic ability every now and then.

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, he is bigger than the TH.

Nice. I love the vampstache so much.

Exactly, if you pop abilities that don't heal the king and let him get to 10%, he is going to die, before he gets much use from that ability.. This is why the rage looked better, it healed the king.

I was struggling to keep the video from being 2 hours long when people would only watch a portion of it, but I plan to share more examples of how they stack up in the future. People will always be able to "argue" that I am not providing even half the possible scenarios, and they are right. It is too complex, with too many variables, but we have to start somewhere. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I was going to say this! Using the abilities at around 50% HP would change the results a lot.

I agree. Having the abilities balanced will mean that they are all useful for specific instances but won’t be overpowered.

More instances will likely see the king on the outside for attackers since people are not great at funneling. That being said, the end result is that the abilities are well balanced and crafty use of them will be key to succeeding.

@@trampledamage agreed and thank you for the analysis!

AND: this is not even factoring in the number of spells and pets and troops that can change the course of an attack.

i use the same

I am doing this quite a bit already. One of my favorite use cases for TH16 hydra.

@@trampledamage love me some hydra action. Which version are you having most success with?

I hear you. That being said, just pick one ability to focus on at a time, and you will be able to slowly care about the others. It is certainly complex, but if you just work on the vampstache or the warden's rage gem, it will be less daunting.

I am working on a video like this for the warden.

@@trampledamage ok will be eagerly waiting for it ..U earned a new subscriber..

Maybe rage gem since heal tome and invisibility is overdoing it but at the same time you could just use rage spell and keep heal tome

vampstache+gauntlet make BK gain immune damage when use ability😅 i think its a bug

but first, use eternal tome's grand warden ability on BK

Lmfao

Can get it this week for a ridiculous amount of gems lol

i wanna know that too

It certainly matters that the king went down in the first example. This is just scratching the surface of all the combinations. Between the 10 abilities, 9 pets, support troops, portion of the base, spells, sieges, cc troops, and defensive trap/building layouts, there are literally BILLIONS of possible iterations. That being said, the gauntlet is not necessarily THAT MUCH MORE powerful in many scenarios as people think. For every scenario that is a "slam dunk" for one pairing, there is another situation that is very unfavorable.

​@@trampledamage so many iterations? really? just use the ability at 50-70% for him to not die before those 12 sec of the ability (or just use the phenix or even the fox or add one freeze for a single inferno/monolith) and there will be no other better combination than one which uses the glove, second equip you can change depending on some special need, but glove will be "must have"... and yes it may not be MUCH more powerful, but its more powerful for sure, and nobody will ignore it. i actually can see some additional special capabilities - that previously was not possible for him to accomplish. like killing the annoying queen, ground cc troops or other defenses through the wall, and for this you don't need to predict it and reduce his power for other common scenarios (by choosing from the start a different equip like earthquake boots, that sometimes also can open walls that you don't want to open). or more secure TH kill without the need to use freeze to keep puppets alive that will die anyway from TH poison or traps that usually are present near TH. In my opinion in comparison with the glove all other equips for king are much more niche (base layout and tasks dependent). i doubt that in legends somebody intentionally will not use the glove.

Yeah phoenix would make a night and day difference, this glove is busted.

nahhhh

The healing is instantaneous. There is no delay in the recovery of hit points.

This is me sometimes.

Wow. 🤩

When did it came for gems??

I have it today arrived in merchant shop​@@pkapoor5869

yes, should be out soon. I missed it too

you have to buy with gems. will hit the trader soon . I believe 1,000 gems

Fun fact: I tested it with a variety of trigger times and the results were surprisingly similar.

His is even more complex, but I have some good ideas for one with him.

I also did versions at "instant use" and "50% health use". The outcomes were all shockingly similar, and while it would have made for a more comprehensive video, it would not have been much fun to watch all those extra minutes.

If he had popped the ability at like 60%, he would have done a lot more damage. King died before he could use the ability fully.

That is the highest level glove you can get at TH14.

One last thing, no mention of what stats each piece of gear gives or takes away from the king, hit points, dps, etc as the gear item levels up vs as the hero levels up. Maybe another video on this math? Math is good no? You like a the math? Yes the math is good.

Vamp stache op

I agree on the expense of the gauntlet. That is max for TH 14, and it is still not substantially better like many people assume.
