Legendary Investment Tier List [F2P & Low Spend -- Open Field] Rise of Kingdoms July 2026 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Hello my friends, welcome back. I'm
- 0:01Chisgule Gaming and in today's video,
- 0:03sponsored by the makers of Rise of
- 0:04Kingdoms, we're updating my legendary
- 0:06investment tier list and we're using a
- 0:07new tool. This website was put together
- 0:10by Cortex. You already knew that though,
- 0:13because in our $500 giveaway, this is
- 0:15one of the sites that you could go and
- 0:16check out. And one of the things you can
- 0:18do for Rise of Kingdoms is build out
- 0:20your own tier list. So, I'm finally
- 0:22moving over to Cortex's site and he's
- 0:25joining me today to build out an updated
- 0:28version of my legendary investment tier
- 0:30list. Cortex, welcome to the vid.
- 0:34>> Thank you, thank you, and thanks for
- 0:35having me. I think
- 0:37I think we can we can cook up some good
- 0:38tier lists here.
- 0:39>> We are going to cook, baby. And a part
- 0:42of the reason I thought it'd be fun to
- 0:43have you on is to chat about some of
- 0:45these choices. And some of this is
- 0:48incredibly straightforward. For example,
- 0:51I would say that some things we know are
- 0:53true, they're completely unchanged from
- 0:54the last time that I did this list.
- 0:56We're going to put QSH and Sun Tzu Prime
- 0:59all the way up at the top. They are meta
- 1:02breaker tier. And this tier, for those
- 1:04of you who are newer to my investment
- 1:06tier list,
- 1:08is something that I added only in like
- 1:10the last year or so. It's honestly when
- 1:13they put QSH in the game, I saw he was
- 1:16so powerful that like we actually had to
- 1:18add a new tier to the tier list. That's
- 1:21how busted it is. Now, both QSH and Sun
- 1:24Tzu Prime belong at this meta breaker
- 1:27tier. I don't think that unfortunately
- 1:29for cavalry, Achilles belongs at that
- 1:32tier. We drop him down in high priority.
- 1:36Now, I previously had this named pair
- 1:38with future.
- 1:40Uh and the idea is that these are
- 1:41commanders that not only will be good
- 1:43now, but they'll be good later. This is
- 1:45not a tier list about the power level
- 1:47today, it's a tier list reflecting how
- 1:51long I think you will get value if you
- 1:53put sculptures into these commanders.
- 1:55So, of course I think they're good
- 1:56today, but I also think they have a lot
- 1:58of potential to be good tomorrow.
- 2:01Now, Cortex, I think you're going to
- 2:03agree with this.
- 2:05But, in the old version of my list, I
- 2:06had Alp Arslan at the meta breaker tier.
- 2:10I feel like he is very good,
- 2:12but I do think he needs to get bumped
- 2:14down to high priority. Would you agree
- 2:16with that?
- 2:17>> I do agree. I think he is very, very
- 2:20good. I mean, so high priority is very,
- 2:22very good commanders, obviously, but I
- 2:24do also think that myself as well
- 2:28overestimates him a little bit from
- 2:30initial testing because he just looks so
- 2:31good, especially in the one-v-ones. He's
- 2:33just dominating everyone. And also in
- 2:35the five-v-fives, but after seeing now,
- 2:37I haven't even tried him myself in KVK
- 2:39yet, but after seeing results from other
- 2:41players, he is very, very good, but he's
- 2:43not quite that QSH Sun Tzu Prime level.
- 2:47So, I think high priority is a fair tier
- 2:49for him.
- 2:50>> Yeah.
- 2:51I I agree. Now,
- 2:53there are some infantry commanders we
- 2:55need to rank and some cavalry commanders
- 2:57that probably also go into high
- 2:59priority. Where's your head at with
- 3:01commanders like BQ,
- 3:03who I'm going to drop in the high
- 3:04priority?
- 3:05>> I think he does sit in high priority,
- 3:07yes. I also think Lucius probably
- 3:10belongs in the same tier, in high
- 3:11priority.
- 3:13>> Mhm. Let me go find him real quick.
- 3:15>> having some commander blindness, there's
- 3:17a handy little filter button at the top.
- 3:19Um if you want to look for any infantry
- 3:21commanders,
- 3:22okay, cool. You can hit
- 3:25>> Ah.
- 3:25>> And you can
- 3:26>> Ooh.
- 3:28Okay, that is handy. Okay, let's do
- 3:30infantry.
- 3:32This is nice. I'm not used to like a
- 3:33tier list with sorting options. Okay,
- 3:35cool.
- 3:36It's almost like you made a tier list
- 3:38for Rise of Kingdoms players.
- 3:39>> Yes.
- 3:41>> That's exactly what he did. Site's
- 3:42linked down below. Okay, um
- 3:44cool.
- 3:45So, we put LC in there. All right. Uh
- 3:48and you think both of them are high
- 3:49priority. If you had to pick one or the
- 3:51other, which one would you pick?
- 3:53>> I think I would give it to Byci. I think
- 3:56he's slightly stronger.
- 3:57>> Yeah, I agree.
- 3:58>> I think I think Luche is nice in the
- 4:00sense of the combo attacks are very good
- 4:02at procking different things and good
- 4:04regeneration, but I think just BQ's
- 4:06damage is just too much to
- 4:09to put Luche higher. But I think it's
- 4:11quite close between the two.
- 4:13>> Okay.
- 4:14And then I think that covers our
- 4:15infantry.
- 4:17But now we got to talk about calves.
- 4:20Where are we putting Arthur and GG? I
- 4:22just dropped them in so I wouldn't lose
- 4:24them.
- 4:25Um but
- 4:27I mean
- 4:29I previously
- 4:30had GG up here and Arthur down there.
- 4:33I think you could make an argument for
- 4:35longevity's sake that Arthur does really
- 4:38boost combo attack damage a lot and that
- 4:41because he does that, he has longevity.
- 4:43So like I can see the argument being
- 4:45made for that even though
- 4:47I mean I don't know. I Arthur with
- 4:49Achilles is the best single archer march
- 4:52or a calf march, right?
- 4:54>> Yeah, I do think that Arthur will maybe
- 4:59survive longer in the meta than GG will.
- 5:03So I do think he belongs in the same
- 5:05tier.
- 5:07Like thinking about it like if if let's
- 5:09say we got two busted OP AoE combo
- 5:12cavalry commanders right now.
- 5:13>> Yep.
- 5:14>> I think I would likely end up using
- 5:16Achilles with one of them and Arthur
- 5:17with one of them. I do not think GG
- 5:19would survive that.
- 5:21Mhm, personally.
- 5:23So I I do think Arthur
- 5:26does belong at least in the same tier as
- 5:28GG.
- 5:30>> And since we are talking about cavalry,
- 5:32David
- 5:33he would be niche for open field, right?
- 5:36Like if you had three marches of calves
- 5:38and you're running all combo or
- 5:39something.
- 5:40>> For open field, yeah, very very niche.
- 5:42>> Yeah. Yes.
- 5:44Okay. And this is an an field tier list
- 5:45by the way. So, we're really only
- 5:48concerned about open field.
- 5:50Um now,
- 5:52I suppose that
- 5:53open field doesn't include garrison
- 5:55swarming, so I'll leave Belisarius Prime
- 5:57off of this list entirely.
- 5:58>> [laughter]
- 5:59>> Yeah.
- 6:00>> Uh don't max Belisarius Prime.
- 6:03Yeah, Nevsky, bro. Okay. So, um
- 6:07we should talk about leadership.
- 6:10And we should rank
- 6:12Verci
- 6:14and we should rank Hector.
- 6:15Um
- 6:16first Hector,
- 6:18where would you put Hector? Is he niche?
- 6:20>> Ooh, I think he's niche.
- 6:21>> priority?
- 6:23>> I think he's niche.
- 6:24>> He's niche. I agree.
- 6:26He niche role, this category is designed
- 6:29for commanders that fill a very, very
- 6:32specific, narrow function. And right
- 6:34now, that is to pair with Arthur. That
- 6:37role is going to be incredibly
- 6:38short-lived because, although it's meta
- 6:40now,
- 6:41very soon, we will be getting something
- 6:43else to replace that
- 6:45in the next couple months, and it's
- 6:47probably going to be very good. So,
- 6:48presumably,
- 6:50that new commander is not going to be
- 6:51insane with Hector. It's more likely, if
- 6:54they care about combo attacks, that it's
- 6:56going to be really good with Arthur.
- 6:58Um
- 6:58>> Yeah, and there could be an argument for
- 6:59also Hector with like three infantry,
- 7:01but I like this is an investment tier
- 7:03list at the end of the day, right? So,
- 7:05putting it in low priority, even if it's
- 7:07like you're past the Hector train now,
- 7:09right? Like if you were going to do
- 7:10Hector, you would have done it when when
- 7:11he released, and you would have used him
- 7:13with Arthur, and then maybe transition
- 7:14him into infantry if you get a new
- 7:16pairing for Arthur. But you're investing
- 7:18into Hector at this point feels, yeah,
- 7:20pretty pretty bad.
- 7:22>> Yeah, if you had done it like at the
- 7:24time, you would have got a good year out
- 7:26of him.
- 7:27It is what it is. You potentially move
- 7:29on.
- 7:30And if you're one of those garrison
- 7:31guys, then like that's a different
- 7:32story. But okay. So, scaling up the
- 7:35ladder of leadership commanders, now
- 7:37Philip.
- 7:39Philip I had previously in low priority.
- 7:44>> I think he also probably goes into
- 7:46niche, right? Or am I crazy?
- 7:48>> bump him down?
- 7:50>> Yeah.
- 7:51>> So, you don't think most people should
- 7:53use him?
- 7:55>> Well,
- 7:56you using him where like but I think he
- 7:59fits the same role that Hector kind of
- 8:02does, right? Where he's just there kind
- 8:04of hanging out and I mean, he's more
- 8:06versatile than Hector, but he's kind of
- 8:09there just hanging out
- 8:12barely holding on until you get a better
- 8:14option. Like he's not some some
- 8:17commander you should actively look at
- 8:18investing into, at least not in my
- 8:20opinion.
- 8:21>> I see that's why I figure he's kind of
- 8:23in low priority a little bit. Let me
- 8:25differentiate him from Hector.
- 8:27Cuz when we were doing our 5v5 testing,
- 8:29right? You couldn't put Hector in the
- 8:31mix and change your fortune.
- 8:34You know? You couldn't like just swap in
- 8:36Hector and suddenly your whole ball
- 8:38trades better and you're winning a 5v5
- 8:40you were losing, but when you swapped in
- 8:42Philip, you went from taking an L to
- 8:44taking a W, right?
- 8:47>> Yeah, I guess in the 5v5 he did look
- 8:49very good. So, maybe low priority is
- 8:50fine. I just like I want to state like
- 8:53people shouldn't be looking to invest
- 8:54into Philip at this point, right?
- 8:56>> That's fair.
- 8:57>> a commander you should look at investing
- 8:58into.
- 8:59>> Yeah, I mean, I think in general
- 9:02the goal should be to only do meta
- 9:04breaker and high priority
- 9:07and you only ever look to low priority
- 9:09if you're just so far ahead.
- 9:12Like you shouldn't most players should
- 9:14never look to this tier of low priority.
- 9:16>> That's fair.
- 9:18>> Which brings us Versey.
- 9:20>> Yeah, I mean, I think he belongs in the
- 9:22same tier as Philip.
- 9:24>> Yeah.
- 9:24>> Personally.
- 9:26>> I think so.
- 9:27>> both quite similar in their strength.
- 9:30Like obviously they do very very
- 9:31different things as commanders, but in
- 9:33terms of effect on the ball and and in
- 9:36terms of strength as individual
- 9:38commanders, I feel like they're quite on
- 9:39par.
- 9:40>> Mhm.
- 9:42I totally agree.
- 9:44Now, that brings us to archers, and I
- 9:46already had El Cid, we talked about him
- 9:49cuz he was in my meta breaker tier, but
- 9:50I'm I kind of moved him down.
- 9:53Um
- 9:54there's one more archer we ought to put
- 9:56up here, maybe.
- 9:59I mean, we only have two archers on this
- 10:00thing. The options are
- 10:03your sort of Herman Prime
- 10:06and
- 10:08I mean, I'm not going to throw Shajar in
- 10:10there, but like Zhuge Liang.
- 10:14>> YSG?
- 10:16>> I suppose we could put YSG up on the
- 10:18board.
- 10:19I would almost put YSG in niche.
- 10:22So, I threw a bunch of things on here
- 10:23now. We can talk about maybe where they
- 10:25go.
- 10:27But
- 10:28the reason I feel like YSG is niche is
- 10:30cuz Zhuge is better. And the place where
- 10:32Zhuge is better is with QSA,
- 10:35and that's the most important march in
- 10:37the game.
- 10:38And we know that Zhuge is so important
- 10:41because when we did 5v5s
- 10:43it was a night and day difference to
- 10:47bring Zhuge Liang or not. It was It was
- 10:49insane.
- 10:52>> Yeah, I think that's fair cuz YSG I
- 10:55mean, and it's fair also in the sense
- 10:57that Zhuge Liang is not necessarily
- 10:58niche either because he does like he
- 11:01does well with any other archer
- 11:03commander, whereas YSG is only a QSH
- 11:05pairing.
- 11:06And I think that's also true for Well,
- 11:09okay, not necessarily, but that's where
- 11:11he really shines, right?
- 11:12>> Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I I
- 11:14actually, if I'm remembering correctly,
- 11:17I feel like YSG was the one that was
- 11:19shockingly good with El Cid,
- 11:21and Zhuge Liang was like strangely not
- 11:23good, and and I couldn't figure it out.
- 11:25>> You're right. I remember that as I was
- 11:27saying it.
- 11:28>> Yeah.
- 11:29>> So, it is possible that
- 11:32but I feel like for most players
- 11:35YSG is niche. Like for me for example, I
- 11:37will be using YSG because I'm a three
- 11:39archer march player. So I will still be
- 11:41running the QSH YSG and then I'll be
- 11:43running I'll be running Al with Herman
- 11:45and then Philip with Zhuge Liang, right?
- 11:48>> Yeah.
- 11:49>> Um
- 11:50And Herman I think definitely belongs in
- 11:51niche. He's very very good at the one
- 11:54pairing with Alp Alp Arslan, but like if
- 11:56Alp Arslan isn't there, Herman isn't
- 11:58making it either anymore. So
- 12:00>> Right.
- 12:01>> He is dependent on Alp Arslan being in
- 12:04in the meta for Herman to exist. And
- 12:06Herman could be replaced by a stronger
- 12:07commander.
- 12:08>> Dude, so I'm prepping a vid with Versey
- 12:11and Canyon and I'm actually not as
- 12:13impressed as I thought I would be with
- 12:14him. Although I'll talk about that in a
- 12:16minute.
- 12:18But
- 12:19I was kind of surprised that like the
- 12:21top teams are using Herman Prime with
- 12:24Alp Arslan and the DPS this march is
- 12:27putting out
- 12:29it's just crazy. Like it's actually
- 12:32insane.
- 12:33Um so
- 12:35it is very powerful. Um they're these
- 12:37are great options, but
- 12:40even with their sort of versatility,
- 12:43like they just don't have the longevity
- 12:45that I think Zhuge Liang has had and in
- 12:48general I like to have three commanders
- 12:51of each troop type in these upper
- 12:53categories and everything else goes
- 12:55niche cuz most people have like two
- 12:57marches of each troop type. Um some
- 13:00might have only one and so you never
- 13:03want to invest in the commander that's
- 13:05the fourth one in terms of power level
- 13:08and those are the ones I try to
- 13:10slot down in a niche. Okay, so we um
- 13:13have the archers. Oh, sorry. Go ahead.
- 13:16>> also throw Ashurbanipal into the niche
- 13:18role. For three archer march players, he
- 13:20is still a viable choice as a niche
- 13:22option for the third march if you don't
- 13:24have Philip
- 13:25or if you prefer just having a damage
- 13:27dealer. Then I think he kind of fits the
- 13:29same role that David does.
- 13:31>> Okay.
- 13:33Now, I changed my filter to infantry
- 13:36because you know, there's a commander I
- 13:37want to talk about for niche, and that
- 13:39would now be William Wallace, right?
- 13:41>> Yeah, for sure.
- 13:43For sure niche.
- 13:45>> Weirdly, when we tested
- 13:48Sun Tzu Prime with William Wallace did
- 13:50worse
- 13:51and is not buffing as much as Versi.
- 13:54So, like and that was true in the 1v1s
- 13:57and the 5v5s. In fact,
- 14:00we probably should even put Ivar on here
- 14:03in niche.
- 14:05>> Yeah, I think he also does belong in the
- 14:06niche tier with David and Ashurbanipal.
- 14:08I think it's quite like similar.
- 14:10>> Yeah.
- 14:12He was doing quite well, actually. Um
- 14:15and in in cases better than the Wallace.
- 14:17So,
- 14:19Wallace is like really
- 14:22really falls down quite a bit. In fact,
- 14:24are you going to make a video about Ivar
- 14:26for field? We planning to do that still?
- 14:28>> Yes. I I am going to. I'm just gathering
- 14:31some more information and I'm planning
- 14:32to do some more testing on it before I
- 14:34>> Yeah. People should check out your
- 14:35channel for that. Okay. So,
- 14:38the only other thing that I think we
- 14:41are now missing
- 14:43would be engineering.
- 14:46And I don't think the engineering meta
- 14:49has changed, has it?
- 14:52>> I don't think so, no. I will say I'm not
- 14:54an expert when it comes to this stuff,
- 14:56so
- 14:57>> Yeah.
- 14:57>> I'm not like actually sure of
- 14:59Elizabeth's viability, for example. Um
- 15:02>> Yeah.
- 15:04>> But
- 15:06yeah, from what I know, it is still
- 15:08Gonzalo with Guan Yu that is the like
- 15:10siege meta for one march.
- 15:12>> crazy.
- 15:13That's insane.
- 15:15These were the actual some of the best
- 15:17investments in Rise of Kingdoms history.
- 15:19>> I think they figure I think they
- 15:21realized that they made those guys way
- 15:22too strong considering how little
- 15:24counter play there is to siege marches.
- 15:27And then they're like, okay, tone it
- 15:28down, tone it down for the for the
- 15:31future ones. So, yeah.
- 15:33>> Yeah.
- 15:33I think these guys were unironically one
- 15:37of the best investments in Rise of
- 15:38Kingdoms history.
- 15:40They're they're up there. Not as good as
- 15:42like, I don't know,
- 15:44the original Scipio Africanus, right?
- 15:46Like not as good as I guess that was
- 15:48Scipio Prime.
- 15:50Um
- 15:50>> Africanus.
- 15:52>> I Yeah, I I I was thinking of SA
- 15:54Africanus. I was getting confused for a
- 15:56second.
- 15:57Um and anyways,
- 15:59uh okay, we have the siege. I think we
- 16:03have everything on here.
- 16:05I think this is actually where we land.
- 16:08>> Do you want to talk about wedge two for
- 16:11cavalry or infantry or is that kind of
- 16:13like
- 16:14>> Ooh, no, you're right. So, I suppose
- 16:17we should find Huo.
- 16:19And we should put him on here. And I
- 16:21think that's niche tier.
- 16:22>> Niche. Yeah.
- 16:23>> If you have it
- 16:25and you made wedge two for it,
- 16:28it is very good. Uh
- 16:30>> It is, yeah.
- 16:31>> Yeah, like this team I keep battling
- 16:33against. It's the final boss of Lost
- 16:34Canyon in the toughest KVK in the game
- 16:37right now.
- 16:38Um
- 16:40he's got this and it's just like
- 16:42unbelievable how much damage this puts
- 16:44out. Huo with Arthur and like it's got
- 16:48to be all legendary inscription and
- 16:50wedge two cuz it
- 16:52is insane.
- 16:54>> Yeah, even myself I still run the whole
- 16:57Huo Arthur march in my last KVK and it
- 17:00did really really well for me.
- 17:02>> I would believe that. I would believe
- 17:05that.
- 17:06Um
- 17:07I don't think there's any other
- 17:09commanders that should be up for
- 17:10consideration or inclusion here.
- 17:13We're not putting CJ in here. We're not
- 17:15putting Joan in here.
- 17:17>> Yeah.
- 17:19I think
- 17:20skill damage infantry is kind of dead,
- 17:22right?
- 17:23>> Yeah, we're definitely not putting
- 17:25Sargon into this list.
- 17:26>> Skill damage infantry is dead.
- 17:29I would be talking about Skipio Prime
- 17:31and Ragnar, but
- 17:32>> I guess you're right. So, like
- 17:34we we
- 17:36can talk [snorts] about them briefly.
- 17:38I'll put them in niche. I think that's
- 17:40that's fair.
- 17:41Um [snorts] that Skipio Prime and Ragnar
- 17:44Prime
- 17:46are actually pretty good. And if you
- 17:48actually went wedge two,
- 17:50like you're kind of good for a little
- 17:51bit,
- 17:52but but just a little bit, and I
- 17:55wouldn't recommend it.
- 17:56>> Yeah, to be clear, like don't invest
- 17:58into it now, but if you like for
- 18:00whatever reason you were so hyped for
- 18:02wedge two that you pulled the trigger on
- 18:03infantry wedge two back then, like if
- 18:05you have it, you should keep using it
- 18:07until Pinzer two comes out, and then
- 18:08maybe consider making the swap, right?
- 18:10>> That's when you got to swap.
- 18:11>> Yeah,
- 18:12like if you have it, don't swap to
- 18:13Pinzer one.
- 18:15>> Yeah, I did this on my small account.
- 18:17Ragnar with Skipio wedge
- 18:20one was amazing.
- 18:22Uh and it did great. It still continued
- 18:24to do great, which shocked me. But now
- 18:26that Pinzer two is on its way, dude,
- 18:28>> Right.
- 18:29>> I'm
- 18:29>> Like obviously don't invest into it.
- 18:31It's just like if you have it, use it.
- 18:33Don't swap to Pinzer one at least, cuz
- 18:35that's well,
- 18:36Pinzer two is on the way.
- 18:37Um
- 18:38but it is like interesting, right? Like
- 18:40I mean, right now, the three strongest
- 18:43infantry marches might even be like on
- 18:45paper. Obviously, the investment is like
- 18:47terrible for this in terms of the
- 18:49longevity of it, cuz you're going to
- 18:50have to swap it when Pinzer two comes
- 18:51out again.
- 18:52But
- 18:54running the like two meta infantry,
- 18:55whatever you think that is, the two meta
- 18:57smite, and then running a Skipio Ragnar
- 18:59as your third infantry march, it sounds
- 19:01kind of powerful with wedge two. If you
- 19:03do have the inscriptions.
- 19:05>> Yeah, if you if you actually had it,
- 19:07I think it could do pretty decently.
- 19:10With that said, the whole point of this
- 19:12list is that your top priority is the
- 19:15meta breaker. Your next priority is down
- 19:18there in high priority and below that is
- 19:20the low priority, which most people
- 19:22should never even be looking to.
- 19:26Only if you're way ahead of the curve do
- 19:28you look to low priority. Like players
- 19:30that have been playing the game for a
- 19:31long time are looking there.
- 19:33Um which is why I
- 19:35have the sculptures to max first here. I
- 19:37mean I've been playing for 7 and 1/2
- 19:38years. So got a lot a lot of commanders
- 19:40accumulated. Um
- 19:42and these niche tier commanders like
- 19:44you're really not looking to invest in
- 19:46any of these.
- 19:47So your best commanders for investment
- 19:50and open field value
- 19:52is QSH then Sun Tzu Prime. We will see
- 19:56if these end up flipping by the way when
- 19:59we get Pincer two. We'll see what that
- 20:00does.
- 20:02You don't think so?
- 20:03>> [laughter]
- 20:04>> No, I don't think so. I mean even when
- 20:05Wedge one was and Wedge one was a lot
- 20:07weaker than Pincer one, right?
- 20:10QSH was still stronger than Sun Tzu.
- 20:13Even with a special inscription that
- 20:14didn't even work.
- 20:15>> Mhm.
- 20:17Then we've got Who would you say is the
- 20:20best in high priority?
- 20:22>> Ooh. Uh
- 20:24ooh.
- 20:25>> Highest potential.
- 20:27>> Oh, maybe BQ.
- 20:29>> You think BQ is the highest potential?
- 20:31>> BQ is good, man.
- 20:34Like he has so much damage. Like the
- 20:35five target half circle and the malice
- 20:37stacks. It's just so much damage.
- 20:41>> Yeah, I would believe it.
- 20:43>> BQ or Alp and then like Lucha right
- 20:46after.
- 20:47>> Wow, Cav. You just really like forget
- 20:50the Cavs, huh?
- 20:51>> Bro, I mean Cavs are in a tough spot.
- 20:54Like even Cav players admitted now.
- 20:56Usually they're a bit delusional.
- 20:58>> [laughter]
- 20:59>> And
- 21:00just thinking that Cavs are always the
- 21:02best. But I mean even Cav players right
- 21:03now are like, "Yeah, Cavs suck." So I
- 21:06think it's like fair to
- 21:08fair to say calves are now are just the
- 21:11weakest, right? They don't have any meta
- 21:12breaker tier commander. They don't have
- 21:14any commander of that power level of Q
- 21:16stage and
- 21:17and Sun Tzu. And I think even when you
- 21:20look at the BQ's, the Alps, the Lu
- 21:22Ch'eng, is there like yeah, they're
- 21:23competing with their strongest
- 21:25commanders, but I don't think they're
- 21:26surpassing them.
- 21:27>> I think if you put a couple hundred more
- 21:29damage factor onto Achilles,
- 21:32>> Mhm.
- 21:33>> it would have really
- 21:34been potential for meta breaker tier.
- 21:36>> But it's like he has 2,000 damage
- 21:38factor, right? And I think BQ's what?
- 21:40Like 2,400, 2,500 plus mallet stacks.
- 21:44So, it's like
- 21:45he's just dealing a lot more damage.
- 21:47>> Yeah.
- 21:48I I think I think you're just off by a
- 21:50couple hundred damage factor and he
- 21:51could have potentially been up there at
- 21:54meta breaker and it could have been
- 21:55really nutty, but it isn't.
- 21:58It just isn't.
- 21:59Um okay.
