Aekold should have been a faction leader and I'm sad he's not.

Kayzk merely decently strong? Dude removes Charge Defense from whoever he's charging, allowing any charging Rot Knights that he buffs to delete the unit from the battle.

The fact you put some heroes in the bottom category that can be a one man doomstack makes me wander how much you really know about this game

11:36 Bro, Hammerstorm removes the Undead trait from enemy armies. He quite literally single handedly changes the outcome of some battles with just that. He also has better combat stats than a lot of legendary lords, how the fuck is he a mediocre hero? Guess you're going for that engagement farming 💩

I just startiñed playing my first Kholek campaign and i'm buffled with so many legendary heroes so i wanted to learn more about them, and lo and behold, you drop this video at the precise moment. Thanks and keep up with this excelent guides and analysis 😁

Sorry for being a detractor but I have to say this list is pretty screwed, right out the gate Coeddil is maybe the strongest single entity in the game (can 1v1 Skarbrand reliably) so even if he's kinda bland I don't know how you could call him "mediocre" at all, keep trying though mate your passion for the source material is good

Another comment on the video on several points worth bringing: Coedill in Drycha's faction is actually good, like you said, but him in any other wood elf faction is very strong because he has the Treemen mortis engine you get as a technology in Drycha's faction only. The damage of the mortis is on the lower side, but considering the treeman doomstack is literally about outlasting your enemies, it makes Coedill very important for such an army, especially if you play as Durthu's faction. Felix brings a few bonuses thanks to his skill tree, but him healing heroes around him is VERY good for the Empire faction, (since dwarfs can craft an item that heals your character), it makes heroes blobs reliable since his healing doesn't have any limit. Ulrika in dwarfs (Malakai) brings magic to a faction that doesn't normally get it, I know you said it's not that good cause the winds available will be low but the lore of Shadows is considered an upper tier magic, and for good reason, it has buffs, lord sniping, elite sniping and anti blob spells. Ulrika herself brings a few useful buffs to the army and can, in the late game, become a doomstack by herself. For Kislev and Empire, she is way less useful (though she remains a very good fighter in late game) These ancestors heroes for Belegar are extremely useful in the early game, where magic weapons are rare and where enemies have low leadership since they have terror (especially greenskins and skaven, who are around Belegar at his start), they fall off later on but remain useful, definitely worthy of the Mediocre tier. Harald can destroy entire armies by himself, buffs his armies quite considerably and turns any battle against the undead into a joke. The chaos dwarf chieftain gives you access to fireglaives and most importantly, dreadquakes mortars. their number is very limited, but this is a unit every single faction in the game wish they had for campaign. He also enables replenishment in enemy territory and can fully replenish his army instantly. Definitely worthy of the mediocre tier at the very least.

Wrong from the start lmao. Coedil is only mediocre?? The dude is one of few characters that can solo skarbrand lmao. Unbreakable, spellcaster, giant monster that is a beast in melee? he is one of the best! and gotrick bad in melee? he is an insane antilarge lord lmao. and felix healing is awesome, combined with Gortek they can almost solo middle level armies

I pretty much disagree with the entirety of this list. But I guess our criteria are different. You value army-wide buffs; I value combat power. So you think Gorduz is among the best; I think he is trash - and so on.

I only played it once, but Karanak is a great battle hero or lord assassin, Gotrek and Felix with Ulrika just bc I made them a doom stack xD

I feel gotrek and felix should be judged together as you don't get one without the other and they have unique buffs for each other.

great video, it could be perfect if you say which lords can recruit which hero, but beside that its rly good :)

Thank you!

Karanak should arguably be at the top of the list rn my guy. He just removed mages from the game physically by killing them or by silencing them. They can’t get away cause he can either stop their movement or just run them down If there are no mages on the field then he is just a frontline chaff slaughterer and can kill elite units rapidly once his WS gets built up as well as removing magic attacks from his opponents. He’s like at least Top 3

Gotrek and Felix = two man doom stack

Meanwhile my Gotrek destroying armies on his own....

One thing you should definitely account for Krell is that he's a summon and does not take up place in your army, plus he's literally free

Kayzk a “decent melee hero” my guy got almost 1k dmg and 90 melee attack and melee defence

Ulrica is avaliable for the dwarfs, wich is gamechanging, having acess to a spellcaster.

As someone who just got this game how do you even get legendary lords specifically heros that associate with archaon the everchosen

I think dwarf hero for Markus would have been mediocre few months ago. Yeah he is just a master engineer, but since stealing a master engineer is a pain, having access to a hero who buffs your missiles is valuable. Now empire has engineers, that are sidegrade to dwarf engineers.

I accidentally 4 shotted an enemy necromancer in Drazhoath’s quest battle with Gorduz.

Kind to think of it, almost all factions have legendary hero’s, Norsca included, besides Tomb kings and vampire coast, they’re the only faction with no legendary hero’s.

I think Karanak should be valued higher due to the ability to deny spell casters their ability to get off their spells, which itself is in my opinion is a game changer as spell casters can make or break a battle with the effectiveness of their spells (may that be support spells or damage spells.)

I think Blue Scribes are a little bit more powerful than you say. Not only they have access to 90% of the spells in the game, they also cast them at -60% cost. (25 times 4% reduction from the skill tree). If you combine this with Yuan Bo's defeat trait, this goes up to -80%, which is BIG. There's also an event if play as Warriors of Chaos, that reduces spell cost by further 20%, meaning during the event with the farmed trait, they can cast 90% of every spell in the game for ONE wind of magic. Now you might think that they have it randomly and that's not a good thing. It does have one big advantage, as soon as you cast a spell, you get new ones, meaning you can cycle around spells while others are on cooldown, meaning you can cast nonstop for 1 winds of magic if everything is maxed out. They also have barrier, meaning they can overcast safely, they are also a FLYING unit with a ranged attack and they are ALSO very fast, hard to catch. They are superior to Kroak 100% imo

i dont know bout legendary heroes, but this streamer is legendary for sure, no cap no cap.🧢

Is making a slayer army with Garagrim and Malakai good or are there better choices for Malakai?

Karanak dog 20 stack is actually not so bad, add a few minos or something of the sort and it's 95% auto resolve wins.

Gorduz is insane in my opinion. Like you get a Hero that buffs early game unit, and you can get that hero early. Also, will you make a video on unique heroes, too? Like generic heroes with unique traits such as Prince Ograx, Oracle of the Sacred Plaques,.... eventually?

Krell combat stat is increased with the kemmler skill tree no? Not sure about

You can actually get both Vlad and Isabella as both hero and lords at the same time using resurrection mechanic. I cant remember the details but im fairly certain you can find videos on it

Imagine if vlad had a mount!

Those legendary dwarf heroes have insane physical resistance on account of being spirit ancestors and they supremely outclass regular heroes of the same type unless the enemy is fielding magic damage

Nobody picks Saytang in multiplayer because he's "good on campaign". I'm not sure why your focus is primarily on army buffs vs the individual heroes' performance. Lords buff armies, heroes support them. You're weighing the wrong stats for what makes a HERO specifically useful.

is this a troll

When it comes to Ezar, i would put him higher because of the recruitable chieftain units. The blunderbussys, fire glaives and Dread quakes with high dps and range just provide nurgle army something it doesnt have with the rest of the normal army roster. Overall though i would agree with most of your list. A lot of the legendary heros are pretty lacking, and seem to be barely stronger than their normal counterparts.

So you're just comparing them to each other and not how they fit in their faction? Because Krell and Robert Barthelemy's role is to fight Lords or heroes because the LL isn't a fighter, role that they perform very well especially since they're immortal and you don't have to worry about losing them. They're very useful bodyguards. Not saying they're gonna win the 1v1 against a melee LL, but they will occupy them long enough to win the battle.

I think Ketzak deserved more that that. Giving healing to Dragen Oger nad Dragons sound really good. And ezar beeing last placed is a shame looking at his insane buffs.

Where is lord kroak? He would be at the tipity top of the list. As he has nukes

I understand this is opinion based. But man there is 2 especially I disagree with. 1st one is Ketzak Fimdirach(Tamurkhan) , he can give regeneration to Shaggoths and Frost Dragons(no legendary lord can even do that) and horrible regeneration to Fimir warriors and Skin Wolves. And he is a shadow caster something Nurgle doesn't get. Which I may add just because there are just a caster doesn't make them weak ,some faction don't have access to certain lores which makes them that much more effective. 2nd one is Coeddil, guy is a beast. He is a great fighter not fast though, but if they run he has Doombolt for those weaklings. Plus he has flock of doom and Murder of Spites for massive blobs fights if you need. I just did battle with him in my campaign and he had over 12k gold value from killing 2 lords/heroes and over 600 infantry kills.

While i agree that the hunter squad is relatively weak but i think a distinction should be made just by the fact that they are cross factional heroes. I will say i do like that you dont rank evryone as game changing.

Isn't Henry just a unique hero?

Slayers being bad in melee was true a year ago, but after thrones of decay they are absolutely ridiculous. Doomstacking slayers and doomseekers with Ironfist went from challenge run material to an actually viable strategy.

Vlad and Isabella is not qualified for this ranking, they can be heros only cos CA decided to give them the romance they deserve.

Troll video with L takes for engagement.. yikes.

Krell does get stronger at rank 12 when Kemmler gets Eternal Bastion, but he still never becomes anything special. He's just tanky and does a decent amount of damage. Beyond Krell needing a rework, Kemmler needs a rework more than any other legendary lord in the game.

All legendary heroes should aspire to be Gorduz?? Bruh…

Oh I see stealing ideas from the stream chat

"He provides decent bonuses to your army" How is Hellblade, Frenzy (granted, quite a few Norsca units come with it already), ITP, 45 armor (for a faction with relatively low armor) and +10 base damage weapon strength not an amazing bunch of bonuses ?

ur list is strange friend...not the order of the lords or w/e but just the tiers like its all eh then theres GAME CHANGING. like why not just do bad/decent/good/"GAME CHANGING". "decently strong" is a weird way of ranking very good characters that just dont happen to have game altering mechanics.

Coeddil has Beast, not Wild

Damn,more controversies more views. You should do more videos like this and more toxic,divide into three classes , goood ,hot garbage and garbage. By the way golden knight should put in decent because she can silent enemy hero stop them use ability to slaughter your army. Especially Kisliv will face Chaos this has strong heros.

I stopped watching at Gotrek being mediocre

I hope CA sees this and considers some reworks

Tell me you know nothing about this game without telling me you know nothing about this game. Seriously bruh you are just wrong in mostly anything

Tamurkhan is the strongest lord in the game right now, I think this tier list is wrong.

It seems to me that Theodor Bruckner is underrated. I can’t be 100% sure, since I didn’t play Warhammer, but I watched playthroughs for the empire, there Bruckner was an excellent killer of lords and heroes, he had great damage (I saw that he can get damage higher than 800), good attack, and personal abilities that greatly increase the characteristics (with his spear the damage increases above 1000 units, and with the sword the attack will increase above 100), he can be sent to the enemy lord or hero, turn on his abilities, and most likely he will destroy him , and even if he dies, his amulet can take the killer with it (in total, the amulet can cause more than 2500 damage). Although, as I understand it, you first of all appreciate how much the hero strengthens the army. (on the other hand, Theodoar has buffs for demigryphs, but it seems that you consider them insufficient) But anyway, thanks for the video!
