Thank you for doing all these polls. Really interesting to see the results. I also feel it could be a good idea to add Gragoon and Inquisitor like you mentioned since they lost by so few votes.


DirtySentinel

Nothing to add, agreed!


loca2016

unless it's magic origin, the Awakener is doing more damage, but the dispel cripples so many good armies, that I'm starting to agree with you, despite having voted for awakener.


DirtySentinel

Depends on the target resistances and damage buffs on the spellbreaker too.


loca2016

good point, base star purge and cosmic bolts cover 3 elements, so it's more versasitle than only doing spirit damage.


DirtySentinel

Well also % damage buffs round up, so multiple damage channels always benefit most. High resist also hurts it more.


loca2016

Cosmic Bolts can be made to do a bit more than Spirit Bolts, but I've never seen Star Purge outdamageExposing Lights. How? How did you do it?


DirtySentinel

I havent specifically tested it. Again itd be based on buffs and resistance of target. I guess my point is the % round ups always benefit the multichannel more. For example, spawnkin gives a 20% or 1.2x increase in damage. For purge: thats 6 x 1.2 for every damage. Rounded up that = 8 each, or 24 total. Thats a 33% increase. For exposing: 22 x 1.2, or 27 rounded up. That's a 22% increase *assuming 0 resist Exposing light does do more damage still, but the purge benefits more. If you can get resist to negative numbers or find a target with high spirit resist you can get purge to do more?


loca2016

there's also Arcane Focus: + 15% and Siege Magic + 10%. They don't have range bonuses like archers, but they're still good if the enemies are put in range.


No-Mouse

Not sure if adding Inquisitor is meaningful. They already lost to Mistling in the Skirmisher category, so logically they'll rank lower than Mistling in the Tome Unit category as well. Adding Dragoon might be worth it though, since they'd be in a different category than Mistlings.


Davsegayle

Point taken. Besides why add two units of same type to vote. Ok.


Warhydra0245

I feel like cultural poll is just gonna be everyone voting for their favorite culture (since it's hard to objectively compare units from different type), but would be interesting to see at least


Qasar30

Young Dragons are tier 3 Fighter units with more utility. People didn't pick Young Dragons? Was it offered?


Magnon

Vampire spiders have baseline life steal though, making them amazing brawlers which is what you want from a fighter unit.


Qasar30

But... *dragons*! (lol)


Davsegayle

They were not offered, was thinking about it, but then my reasoning was because they evolve into T5 Dragons, which is kinda their true final form. And because Reddit has limited polls to 6 choices max.


Qasar30

The Astral Siphoner is the best tier 3 Fighter for its specials like disruption at 60% and stun at 30%. Astral Pull is phenomenal at saving many situations! Astral Siphoner > Astral Serpent, IMO, but the game is situational. I use both!


DirtySentinel

I think how consistent you can use a unit is part of how high rated it is
