Hello from Texas, USA! I'll try to get a bit more in-depth on some other small things that could help, yet may be super helpful.

Gotta take care of the TL:DR fams!

Dang, Arnor and Lindon on my server (10) duking it out as well! We, Lothlorien are picking a fight with Angmar >=P Will definitely get a T2 video out! Just gonna have to do a bit of research first.

Honored to be of some help for ya!

Really glad to hear! Always am happy to be of service.

Thank you so much! I hope to soon create another account for our evil brethren out there and get some reviews on those commanders

Thank you so much! :)

I cant either. Hopefully soon!

Thank you very much! :)

Thanks man! Appreciate your support always! You my main sound man and quality assurance 😂 tip peeking into the next video use 100 command units instead of less for siege. Adds +7 siege damage to EACH unit! Beornings see a tiny improvement with this ability (because only 4 of them get that +7 vs 100 units getting +7)

@@Insanepeon i just did the math and guardians are the number one siege damage troop with hirgon

@@dillongroh6457 If you maxed out that Siege of Elves piece of equipment you would have twelve more siege for elves. So if Guardians have 2000 per command then the elven siege damage would be better as long as the original unit had more than 800 siege per command

So all you need to do is level that piece of equipment up and wow

Keep in mind that this ability also works with evil units in season 2. Alchemists would have 3700 siege damage per command under Hirgon

Of course! Thanks for the support :)

So I havent seen an exact explanation thats confirmed, however I believe the theory lies with the skills that deal damage. While physical damage increases normal attacks and such.

@@Insanepeon Thank you

Hoping I can have tier 2 real soon! Gathering some more people's input. Tier 3 is gonna be real rough without lots of availability.

You're awesome!

When I swapped off of a durin’s blood build and went for a fully defensive build I cut my battle losses in half against 200 RP/H tiles : )

@@Chisgule I am taking 230 atm

@@jasonfennell141 I don’t think 230’s are worth, barely gives more resources, only an extra 5k xp for mock battles. For just this losing about 1-2k troops isn’t worth if you can just get 3 200’s

@@vigomaxim5225 u get 60k from 230 gathering with no buffs vs 48k from the 200.

I love it. This is how we all get better. Ill invest some into Boromir's disarm and give it a shot. For Dwalin he's prob still gonna chill a bit on my bench. Got love for him tho

Hirgon really do be putting in that work! Thats an AWESOME pull! Congrats! So the only way to really get Dunharrow is to stage your units close and to use commanders that are specc'd into focus damage like Gandalf for example. So you just have get some tanky melee units to take on the heat while your commander puts in the work

@@Insanepeon thanks! I thought that might be the case but wanted another opinion. Appreciate the advice man!

Poison damage, burn damage, stun damage and focus damage can all help you take them out. If you have Galadriel she has CRAZY focus stats

@@p3ntr3b4n3m4nz Ents or Beornings maybe for your troops?

WOW. 2.5 mil siege with 7 attacks!? Youre doing like over 350k damage each attack. Literally insane, love it!

I saw somebody on KZfaq that was doing 446,000 siege per attack. Gothmog is RIDICULOUS y’all!

Definitely will! Just may be a bit of delay, gotta start up that second account and do some exploring :)

I second that, do an evil T1 list!

Grima is awesome at tier 1 bad guys, Khamul is also a great t2 u can get for 1 Dollar

Gothmog is CRAZY for siege. I saw one doing 446,000 siege damage per hit

I have seen a dark side faction one out there, but I haven't watched it myself personally :(

Do you mean sustain as in healing and sustaining in battle, or do you mean an ability?

@@Insanepeon the sustain that triggers every secound round from gear

I found out about the sustain i think i am going to upgrade it i have an epic sustain accessory but that legendary sustain is brutal

Its taken in other players and from my time played in Beta and current Season. What part of it do you not agree with?

@@Insanepeon nice. I am not agree as Higorn be S and Boromir not be even A. But ty for aswear me

@@lusther4573 Thats fair. Boromir in my end game fights hasnt been a factor. lvl 50 Haldirs and lvl 50 Eowyns heavily outweigh him in terms of viability. During Beta Boro was a beast, but seems to have been scaled back. Only reason I dont have Haldir and Eowyn S tier is because theyre restricted to specific units, so excel with elves or men factions respectively. Hirgon is the ONLY siege hero for all of good faction and works with essentially all units. I think Hirgon is a must for all rosters because Siege is a big factor in the game. Personally being able to snipe forts with one march with Hirgon (when its empty) has been clutch for me in tile play. While I use Eowyn/Haldir as combat/front liner commanders.

Only doing the Tier 1 (Good) heroes. Don't have all the sufficient time unfortunately to do Evil just yet

That sounds pretty STACKED. Too bad we dont have those super sweet Lindon T4 archers. They are crazy!

Right ok, I’m glad someone said something because Mary and Pip are ranked SS top tier in my books. I can solo a 200 land with them and take minimal casualties

Problem with that is that you’re assuming that M and P are tier three respect which is HARD for free to players. In my opinion they would be pretty cool after you get that respect level but their base stats aren’t that great.

Great tip! However for me especially in the beginning I focus hard on 1-2 commanders. So I will exhaust their Stamina claiming lands, then sit them in the tavern to just build some more passive EXP.

@@Insanepeon yes, that's great strategy, but if you take the ring bonus xp + bonus xp and stamina reduction on mock battles coupled with Faramir's xp bonuses and send him to mock battle on 130+ land the amount of xp he gets is insane

I will for sure be doing them. However with less exposure for the commanders themselves the amount of info is limited, but I will compile and do the best I can :)

Woohoo!

Only melee mounted. If you’re using Bow Knights with that stat it won’t help you

Sorry, took so long. I believe the max level is 50.

I badly wanted to use cavalry for the speed so I can get faster attacks in, but there are only 50 of each cavalry unit. So its 50*23= 1150 vs 20*100= 2000 for the guardians (dwarven infantry). When you do finish the speadsheet I would love to see it!

@@Insanepeon spot on. Also a lot of players in my server thought that Ents were best for siege because they didn’t see the command numbers

Will do! Just gonna take a lottle bit of time :)

Ok you win.

I’m trying to use Boromir and Dwalin as my starting commanders in season 2 because they’re just plain awesome. I would watch those parts of this video again and DEFINITELY use Dwalin asap he is best in my opinion

I am elves so Legolas has many more benefits my faction. 1. Legolas 2. Presuming Tier 1 Arwen 3. Legolas 4. Gimli 5. Eomer

@@Insanepeon Very interesting, thank you I just got a Arwen invite, playing as dwarves, but kinda want to play as elves or Gondor in the future too So I don't know if I should respect Arwen or unlock Legolas instead...

Yea, my apologies :(. Was half asleep at the time of uploading, but it did get into the video description at least.

Will do!

Nice. xD

Once time allows me to, I will be starting up an evil faction in order to test everything on that side of the house as well!

Chill my wife is on KZfaq too 😂😂😂. I can confidently say I got really lucky with a Mathom coin for Thranduil

@@Insanepeon LMAOO i gotchyuuu

@@Insanepeon hold up you buy stuff for this game 👁️👄👁️ #imhiswife

Will do very soon!

Hirgon MVP Because.... with 25 command points of Beornings you get 100 units with 600 siege each. 100*600=60k like you said. HP sits at 1000*4 = 4000. DMG sits at 350(4)~420(4) = 1400~1680 (average 1540). Defense = 75 per unit. Speed = 62 However lets take Guardians this time (dwarven melee) with 25 command points nets you 2500 troops with 20 siege each. Hirgon adds siege 20+7 (max siege increase). 2500*27=67.5k (60k without Hirgon) HP sits at 40*100 = 4000. DMG sits at 7(100)~20(100) = 700~2000 (average 1350). Defense = 101 per unit. Speed = 52 So with this baseline set advantages as follows: Siege: Guardians +7.5k (Tie without Hirgon) HP: Tied DMG: Beornings +190 Defense: Guardians +26 Speed: Beornings +10 This video is also geared towards f2p which their hero selections are limited. Hirgon has this great ability available at tier 1. As a f2p your commander pool is usually smaller meaning your heroes level up more and get more use and mileage :)

Boromir is definitely good with his +5 Command as a Leader. I would now, bump him up to an A tier character, but not S tier. The Guaranteed dodge is great, but it lasts only 1 turn iteration. The Defense each round is good, but could struggle vs those "Burst" Commanders

@@Insanepeon I'd say that Eowyn is still the queen of starting commanders at least. Out of all the tier 1 commanders. Boromir is the next priority if you're looking for another sweeper and Hirgon if you're in need for a siege commander. I only use him for sieges anyway. He lacks commander damage and aside from the siege doesn't provide any support for allies. For this reason alone i'm playing as Rohan next season. I just unlocked Theoden for free, Eowyn and Boromir are close to respect lvl 5 and i almost unlocked Eomer. I'm telling you people are sleeping on Rohan.

Same with my Bae Hirgon! I am pretty sure they are Mirror heros =P

To be fair, the F2P population is doing QUITE well in comparison to other games.
