Hey guys, GullYY here. Welcome back to another Polytopia video! Polytopia's Naval Update changed a ton of core aspects of the game, making my old tribe tier list outdated. Today, I'm showing off my new tier list ranking each Polytopia tribe based on its competitive viability, specifically for Drylands (I'll be making a tier list for each map type!). We're going to assume that these are 1v1 games on a Normal sized Drylands map. Let's get started!

Xin-xi should be a B tier honestly. They have high amount of mountains with resources. And they can have swordsmen pretty fast.

@mees7920 Ай бұрын

swordsmen aren't very good compared to the effciency and speed of riders (riders also lead to the road tech which is integral for winning games). its also important to note that C tier means that the tribe isn't bad.

@ivraDiaNCE 28 күн бұрын

Great tier list, I agree with basically all of this but I think Quetzali should probably be B tier. Their resource density is crazy and gives them so much versatility in what tech route they can choose, and early defenders make aggressive exploration into enemy territory possible.

@restfulflames9855 25 күн бұрын

Quetzali has great resources, but you have to go out of your way to access them in the early game. Defenders are great units, but they don’t have the dash ability nor do they have a good attack power. Both of these things together make Quetzali a slow tribe in the early game, and you are unable to apply fast pressure to the enemy without additional units. Compared to other C tier tribes, they all have the same problem of being slow in the early game except yaddak (which I think should be B tier) and Luxidor (which should be D tier) but have decent economies late game. All in all, Quetzali is amazing on smaller maps where being defensive is crucial in buying enough time to get a good economy rolling but on a normal sized map, gets out classed by faster tribes or more economic tribes.

Ai-mo is fun to play… just love the idea of monks dominating especially with their skin

@Cosmefulanito2812 Ай бұрын

I think Ai-Mo can be an A tier, depending on the size of the map. By getting philosophy early on and delaying hunting or organization, you get a very slow economy at first, but in the middle game you'll be getting any tech you need without having to wait many turns, allowing you to adapt in combat.

@DhoklaAboveVadapav Ай бұрын

If your opponent is Ai Mo on bigger maps, then either go straight for the offensive or accept defeat

@ziqizhu7364 Ай бұрын

I have quite a few convincing wins with Polaris on 900 drylands, some even against good Elyrion players. Playing them is like playing Quezalli, you get slow economy, but once you are to the point of rider roads, you get the ice bank and you can afford anything you wish. Gaami are also great against giants, although a bit fragile against catapults , dryland maps allows you to rip apart everything they have as a tank with as many knights as you want to build. Not to mention, getting Ice Fortresses can be a pain in the ass for the opponent.

@lukeboyd1023 Ай бұрын

Zebasi is s tier IMO. They are just flat better then imperius because of the huge forest rates of imperius. They are almost forced to go for forestry in mid game and its so expensize. Zebasi needs construction and that is the ONLY economy tech they need to level up all of their cities alot, most of the time. The 1 extra star you gain from the 5 starts for farming vs the 4 stares is easily off set by imperius needing techs

@user-xj3wj7fh8o Ай бұрын

I think Polaris should be more in c or d tier than f Polaris is better on water maps (such as continents)but they can also be very strong on land with their freezing abilities they might struggle in the early game cuz their economy isn‘t really high without their version of markets also because they don‘t have any tech with population in the beginning

@mees7920 Ай бұрын

If you're able to get a freeze off on your opponents without using the super unit your opponents just don't know how to play around polaris, and the super unit itself is quite hard to obtain in a reasonable time (before catapults/archers from an econ tribe or before getting rushed down by Cymanti/Elyrion).

Thats a good point, but other than easy movement with riders, they just don’t have the same ease of access to offensive military units like bardur or any of the S tier tribes.

is this taking into account the aquarion rework, with the YELLY BELLY, also how is bardur now A tier, I still think they're better than imperius bc farming leads to more useful techs such as archery and forestry, which leads to mathematics which can train catapults which can take down giants

Completely agree with this list. Elyrion and Cymanti are my top picks in that order. Dragons dominate. Knowing where ruins are behind the fog is a huge advantage. Polaris is not as good on dry land, but they are still my 3rd. I can freeze and steal your assets with mind benders.

as a polaris player, i disagree. ice archers are quite okay, but that's about it. most of their units rely on ice (frozen water tiles), and this is a drylands map. ice fortresses are too expensive and battle sleds are borderline useless (in drylands). their economy can also struggle quite a bit.

Bardour is still the best tribe on my opinion. Cymanti is very weak and you beat them with rider roads. Elyron is also poor, when you can manage to kill the dragons. Bardour or Imperius are the winers if you know how to play them right, they are unbeatable. Any thoughts?

@nithraliabrawlstars6541 Ай бұрын

Yeah 1 big thought bruh. Even if you are right about cymanti because they suck, you are COMPLETLY wrong about elyrion lmao. Do you think dragons are their only threat? They are litteraly a normal tribe they have no disatvantages. Just Polytaurs which are essentially free +50% unit production (they are free because you can keep allways like 2-6 animals nearby and only summon when full. They are free at that point. And Additionally their dragons are just way better giants. No normal tribe can defeat Elyrion, if the Elyrion has skill, because they are a normal tribe but better in every way. Also their early game Exploration with 2 polys is redicioulous op.
