  1. 0:00Hello my friends, welcome back. I'm
  2. 0:01Chisgule Gaming and in today's video,
  3. 0:03sponsored by the makers of Rise of
  4. 0:04Kingdoms, we're updating my legendary
  5. 0:06investment tier list and we're using a
  6. 0:07new tool. This website was put together
  7. 0:10by Cortex. You already knew that though,
  8. 0:13because in our $500 giveaway, this is
  9. 0:15one of the sites that you could go and
  10. 0:16check out. And one of the things you can
  11. 0:18do for Rise of Kingdoms is build out
  12. 0:20your own tier list. So, I'm finally
  13. 0:22moving over to Cortex's site and he's
  14. 0:25joining me today to build out an updated
  15. 0:28version of my legendary investment tier
  16. 0:30list. Cortex, welcome to the vid.
  17. 0:34>> Thank you, thank you, and thanks for
  18. 0:35having me. I think
  19. 0:37I think we can we can cook up some good
  20. 0:38tier lists here.
  21. 0:39>> We are going to cook, baby. And a part
  22. 0:42of the reason I thought it'd be fun to
  23. 0:43have you on is to chat about some of
  24. 0:45these choices. And some of this is
  25. 0:48incredibly straightforward. For example,
  26. 0:51I would say that some things we know are
  27. 0:53true, they're completely unchanged from
  28. 0:54the last time that I did this list.
  29. 0:56We're going to put QSH and Sun Tzu Prime
  30. 0:59all the way up at the top. They are meta
  31. 1:02breaker tier. And this tier, for those
  32. 1:04of you who are newer to my investment
  33. 1:06tier list,
  34. 1:08is something that I added only in like
  35. 1:10the last year or so. It's honestly when
  36. 1:13they put QSH in the game, I saw he was
  37. 1:16so powerful that like we actually had to
  38. 1:18add a new tier to the tier list. That's
  39. 1:21how busted it is. Now, both QSH and Sun
  40. 1:24Tzu Prime belong at this meta breaker
  41. 1:27tier. I don't think that unfortunately
  42. 1:29for cavalry, Achilles belongs at that
  43. 1:32tier. We drop him down in high priority.
  44. 1:36Now, I previously had this named pair
  45. 1:38with future.
  46. 1:40Uh and the idea is that these are
  47. 1:41commanders that not only will be good
  48. 1:43now, but they'll be good later. This is
  49. 1:45not a tier list about the power level
  50. 1:47today, it's a tier list reflecting how
  51. 1:51long I think you will get value if you
  52. 1:53put sculptures into these commanders.
  53. 1:55So, of course I think they're good
  54. 1:56today, but I also think they have a lot
  55. 1:58of potential to be good tomorrow.
  56. 2:01Now, Cortex, I think you're going to
  57. 2:03agree with this.
  58. 2:05But, in the old version of my list, I
  59. 2:06had Alp Arslan at the meta breaker tier.
  60. 2:10I feel like he is very good,
  61. 2:12but I do think he needs to get bumped
  62. 2:14down to high priority. Would you agree
  63. 2:16with that?
  64. 2:17>> I do agree. I think he is very, very
  65. 2:20good. I mean, so high priority is very,
  66. 2:22very good commanders, obviously, but I
  67. 2:24do also think that myself as well
  68. 2:28overestimates him a little bit from
  69. 2:30initial testing because he just looks so
  70. 2:31good, especially in the one-v-ones. He's
  71. 2:33just dominating everyone. And also in
  72. 2:35the five-v-fives, but after seeing now,
  73. 2:37I haven't even tried him myself in KVK
  74. 2:39yet, but after seeing results from other
  75. 2:41players, he is very, very good, but he's
  76. 2:43not quite that QSH Sun Tzu Prime level.
  77. 2:47So, I think high priority is a fair tier
  78. 2:49for him.
  79. 2:50>> Yeah.
  80. 2:51I I agree. Now,
  81. 2:53there are some infantry commanders we
  82. 2:55need to rank and some cavalry commanders
  83. 2:57that probably also go into high
  84. 2:59priority. Where's your head at with
  85. 3:01commanders like BQ,
  86. 3:03who I'm going to drop in the high
  87. 3:04priority?
  88. 3:05>> I think he does sit in high priority,
  89. 3:07yes. I also think Lucius probably
  90. 3:10belongs in the same tier, in high
  91. 3:11priority.
  92. 3:13>> Mhm. Let me go find him real quick.
  93. 3:15>> having some commander blindness, there's
  94. 3:17a handy little filter button at the top.
  95. 3:19Um if you want to look for any infantry
  96. 3:21commanders,
  97. 3:22okay, cool. You can hit
  98. 3:25>> Ah.
  99. 3:25>> And you can
  100. 3:26>> Ooh.
  101. 3:28Okay, that is handy. Okay, let's do
  102. 3:30infantry.
  103. 3:32This is nice. I'm not used to like a
  104. 3:33tier list with sorting options. Okay,
  105. 3:35cool.
  106. 3:36It's almost like you made a tier list
  107. 3:38for Rise of Kingdoms players.
  108. 3:39>> Yes.
  109. 3:41>> That's exactly what he did. Site's
  110. 3:42linked down below. Okay, um
  111. 3:44cool.
  112. 3:45So, we put LC in there. All right. Uh
  113. 3:48and you think both of them are high
  114. 3:49priority. If you had to pick one or the
  115. 3:51other, which one would you pick?
  116. 3:53>> I think I would give it to Byci. I think
  117. 3:56he's slightly stronger.
  118. 3:57>> Yeah, I agree.
  119. 3:58>> I think I think Luche is nice in the
  120. 4:00sense of the combo attacks are very good
  121. 4:02at procking different things and good
  122. 4:04regeneration, but I think just BQ's
  123. 4:06damage is just too much to
  124. 4:09to put Luche higher. But I think it's
  125. 4:11quite close between the two.
  126. 4:13>> Okay.
  127. 4:14And then I think that covers our
  128. 4:15infantry.
  129. 4:17But now we got to talk about calves.
  130. 4:20Where are we putting Arthur and GG? I
  131. 4:22just dropped them in so I wouldn't lose
  132. 4:24them.
  133. 4:25Um but
  134. 4:27I mean
  135. 4:29I previously
  136. 4:30had GG up here and Arthur down there.
  137. 4:33I think you could make an argument for
  138. 4:35longevity's sake that Arthur does really
  139. 4:38boost combo attack damage a lot and that
  140. 4:41because he does that, he has longevity.
  141. 4:43So like I can see the argument being
  142. 4:45made for that even though
  143. 4:47I mean I don't know. I Arthur with
  144. 4:49Achilles is the best single archer march
  145. 4:52or a calf march, right?
  146. 4:54>> Yeah, I do think that Arthur will maybe
  147. 4:59survive longer in the meta than GG will.
  148. 5:03So I do think he belongs in the same
  149. 5:05tier.
  150. 5:07Like thinking about it like if if let's
  151. 5:09say we got two busted OP AoE combo
  152. 5:12cavalry commanders right now.
  153. 5:13>> Yep.
  154. 5:14>> I think I would likely end up using
  155. 5:16Achilles with one of them and Arthur
  156. 5:17with one of them. I do not think GG
  157. 5:19would survive that.
  158. 5:21Mhm, personally.
  159. 5:23So I I do think Arthur
  160. 5:26does belong at least in the same tier as
  161. 5:28GG.
  162. 5:30>> And since we are talking about cavalry,
  163. 5:32David
  164. 5:33he would be niche for open field, right?
  165. 5:36Like if you had three marches of calves
  166. 5:38and you're running all combo or
  167. 5:39something.
  168. 5:40>> For open field, yeah, very very niche.
  169. 5:42>> Yeah. Yes.
  170. 5:44Okay. And this is an an field tier list
  171. 5:45by the way. So, we're really only
  172. 5:48concerned about open field.
  173. 5:50Um now,
  174. 5:52I suppose that
  175. 5:53open field doesn't include garrison
  176. 5:55swarming, so I'll leave Belisarius Prime
  177. 5:57off of this list entirely.
  178. 5:58>> [laughter]
  179. 5:59>> Yeah.
  180. 6:00>> Uh don't max Belisarius Prime.
  181. 6:03Yeah, Nevsky, bro. Okay. So, um
  182. 6:07we should talk about leadership.
  183. 6:10And we should rank
  184. 6:12Verci
  185. 6:14and we should rank Hector.
  186. 6:15Um
  187. 6:16first Hector,
  188. 6:18where would you put Hector? Is he niche?
  189. 6:20>> Ooh, I think he's niche.
  190. 6:21>> priority?
  191. 6:23>> I think he's niche.
  192. 6:24>> He's niche. I agree.
  193. 6:26He niche role, this category is designed
  194. 6:29for commanders that fill a very, very
  195. 6:32specific, narrow function. And right
  196. 6:34now, that is to pair with Arthur. That
  197. 6:37role is going to be incredibly
  198. 6:38short-lived because, although it's meta
  199. 6:40now,
  200. 6:41very soon, we will be getting something
  201. 6:43else to replace that
  202. 6:45in the next couple months, and it's
  203. 6:47probably going to be very good. So,
  204. 6:48presumably,
  205. 6:50that new commander is not going to be
  206. 6:51insane with Hector. It's more likely, if
  207. 6:54they care about combo attacks, that it's
  208. 6:56going to be really good with Arthur.
  209. 6:58Um
  210. 6:58>> Yeah, and there could be an argument for
  211. 6:59also Hector with like three infantry,
  212. 7:01but I like this is an investment tier
  213. 7:03list at the end of the day, right? So,
  214. 7:05putting it in low priority, even if it's
  215. 7:07like you're past the Hector train now,
  216. 7:09right? Like if you were going to do
  217. 7:10Hector, you would have done it when when
  218. 7:11he released, and you would have used him
  219. 7:13with Arthur, and then maybe transition
  220. 7:14him into infantry if you get a new
  221. 7:16pairing for Arthur. But you're investing
  222. 7:18into Hector at this point feels, yeah,
  223. 7:20pretty pretty bad.
  224. 7:22>> Yeah, if you had done it like at the
  225. 7:24time, you would have got a good year out
  226. 7:26of him.
  227. 7:27It is what it is. You potentially move
  228. 7:29on.
  229. 7:30And if you're one of those garrison
  230. 7:31guys, then like that's a different
  231. 7:32story. But okay. So, scaling up the
  232. 7:35ladder of leadership commanders, now
  233. 7:37Philip.
  234. 7:39Philip I had previously in low priority.
  235. 7:44>> I think he also probably goes into
  236. 7:46niche, right? Or am I crazy?
  237. 7:48>> bump him down?
  238. 7:50>> Yeah.
  239. 7:51>> So, you don't think most people should
  240. 7:53use him?
  241. 7:55>> Well,
  242. 7:56you using him where like but I think he
  243. 7:59fits the same role that Hector kind of
  244. 8:02does, right? Where he's just there kind
  245. 8:04of hanging out and I mean, he's more
  246. 8:06versatile than Hector, but he's kind of
  247. 8:09there just hanging out
  248. 8:12barely holding on until you get a better
  249. 8:14option. Like he's not some some
  250. 8:17commander you should actively look at
  251. 8:18investing into, at least not in my
  252. 8:20opinion.
  253. 8:21>> I see that's why I figure he's kind of
  254. 8:23in low priority a little bit. Let me
  255. 8:25differentiate him from Hector.
  256. 8:27Cuz when we were doing our 5v5 testing,
  257. 8:29right? You couldn't put Hector in the
  258. 8:31mix and change your fortune.
  259. 8:34You know? You couldn't like just swap in
  260. 8:36Hector and suddenly your whole ball
  261. 8:38trades better and you're winning a 5v5
  262. 8:40you were losing, but when you swapped in
  263. 8:42Philip, you went from taking an L to
  264. 8:44taking a W, right?
  265. 8:47>> Yeah, I guess in the 5v5 he did look
  266. 8:49very good. So, maybe low priority is
  267. 8:50fine. I just like I want to state like
  268. 8:53people shouldn't be looking to invest
  269. 8:54into Philip at this point, right?
  270. 8:56>> That's fair.
  271. 8:57>> a commander you should look at investing
  272. 8:58into.
  273. 8:59>> Yeah, I mean, I think in general
  274. 9:02the goal should be to only do meta
  275. 9:04breaker and high priority
  276. 9:07and you only ever look to low priority
  277. 9:09if you're just so far ahead.
  278. 9:12Like you shouldn't most players should
  279. 9:14never look to this tier of low priority.
  280. 9:16>> That's fair.
  281. 9:18>> Which brings us Versey.
  282. 9:20>> Yeah, I mean, I think he belongs in the
  283. 9:22same tier as Philip.
  284. 9:24>> Yeah.
  285. 9:24>> Personally.
  286. 9:26>> I think so.
  287. 9:27>> both quite similar in their strength.
  288. 9:30Like obviously they do very very
  289. 9:31different things as commanders, but in
  290. 9:33terms of effect on the ball and and in
  291. 9:36terms of strength as individual
  292. 9:38commanders, I feel like they're quite on
  293. 9:39par.
  294. 9:40>> Mhm.
  295. 9:42I totally agree.
  296. 9:44Now, that brings us to archers, and I
  297. 9:46already had El Cid, we talked about him
  298. 9:49cuz he was in my meta breaker tier, but
  299. 9:50I'm I kind of moved him down.
  300. 9:53Um
  301. 9:54there's one more archer we ought to put
  302. 9:56up here, maybe.
  303. 9:59I mean, we only have two archers on this
  304. 10:00thing. The options are
  305. 10:03your sort of Herman Prime
  306. 10:06and
  307. 10:08I mean, I'm not going to throw Shajar in
  308. 10:10there, but like Zhuge Liang.
  309. 10:14>> YSG?
  310. 10:16>> I suppose we could put YSG up on the
  311. 10:18board.
  312. 10:19I would almost put YSG in niche.
  313. 10:22So, I threw a bunch of things on here
  314. 10:23now. We can talk about maybe where they
  315. 10:25go.
  316. 10:27But
  317. 10:28the reason I feel like YSG is niche is
  318. 10:30cuz Zhuge is better. And the place where
  319. 10:32Zhuge is better is with QSA,
  320. 10:35and that's the most important march in
  321. 10:37the game.
  322. 10:38And we know that Zhuge is so important
  323. 10:41because when we did 5v5s
  324. 10:43it was a night and day difference to
  325. 10:47bring Zhuge Liang or not. It was It was
  326. 10:49insane.
  327. 10:52>> Yeah, I think that's fair cuz YSG I
  328. 10:55mean, and it's fair also in the sense
  329. 10:57that Zhuge Liang is not necessarily
  330. 10:58niche either because he does like he
  331. 11:01does well with any other archer
  332. 11:03commander, whereas YSG is only a QSH
  333. 11:05pairing.
  334. 11:06And I think that's also true for Well,
  335. 11:09okay, not necessarily, but that's where
  336. 11:11he really shines, right?
  337. 11:12>> Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I I
  338. 11:14actually, if I'm remembering correctly,
  339. 11:17I feel like YSG was the one that was
  340. 11:19shockingly good with El Cid,
  341. 11:21and Zhuge Liang was like strangely not
  342. 11:23good, and and I couldn't figure it out.
  343. 11:25>> You're right. I remember that as I was
  344. 11:27saying it.
  345. 11:28>> Yeah.
  346. 11:29>> So, it is possible that
  347. 11:32but I feel like for most players
  348. 11:35YSG is niche. Like for me for example, I
  349. 11:37will be using YSG because I'm a three
  350. 11:39archer march player. So I will still be
  351. 11:41running the QSH YSG and then I'll be
  352. 11:43running I'll be running Al with Herman
  353. 11:45and then Philip with Zhuge Liang, right?
  354. 11:48>> Yeah.
  355. 11:49>> Um
  356. 11:50And Herman I think definitely belongs in
  357. 11:51niche. He's very very good at the one
  358. 11:54pairing with Alp Alp Arslan, but like if
  359. 11:56Alp Arslan isn't there, Herman isn't
  360. 11:58making it either anymore. So
  361. 12:00>> Right.
  362. 12:01>> He is dependent on Alp Arslan being in
  363. 12:04in the meta for Herman to exist. And
  364. 12:06Herman could be replaced by a stronger
  365. 12:07commander.
  366. 12:08>> Dude, so I'm prepping a vid with Versey
  367. 12:11and Canyon and I'm actually not as
  368. 12:13impressed as I thought I would be with
  369. 12:14him. Although I'll talk about that in a
  370. 12:16minute.
  371. 12:18But
  372. 12:19I was kind of surprised that like the
  373. 12:21top teams are using Herman Prime with
  374. 12:24Alp Arslan and the DPS this march is
  375. 12:27putting out
  376. 12:29it's just crazy. Like it's actually
  377. 12:32insane.
  378. 12:33Um so
  379. 12:35it is very powerful. Um they're these
  380. 12:37are great options, but
  381. 12:40even with their sort of versatility,
  382. 12:43like they just don't have the longevity
  383. 12:45that I think Zhuge Liang has had and in
  384. 12:48general I like to have three commanders
  385. 12:51of each troop type in these upper
  386. 12:53categories and everything else goes
  387. 12:55niche cuz most people have like two
  388. 12:57marches of each troop type. Um some
  389. 13:00might have only one and so you never
  390. 13:03want to invest in the commander that's
  391. 13:05the fourth one in terms of power level
  392. 13:08and those are the ones I try to
  393. 13:10slot down in a niche. Okay, so we um
  394. 13:13have the archers. Oh, sorry. Go ahead.
  395. 13:16>> also throw Ashurbanipal into the niche
  396. 13:18role. For three archer march players, he
  397. 13:20is still a viable choice as a niche
  398. 13:22option for the third march if you don't
  399. 13:24have Philip
  400. 13:25or if you prefer just having a damage
  401. 13:27dealer. Then I think he kind of fits the
  402. 13:29same role that David does.
  403. 13:31>> Okay.
  404. 13:33Now, I changed my filter to infantry
  405. 13:36because you know, there's a commander I
  406. 13:37want to talk about for niche, and that
  407. 13:39would now be William Wallace, right?
  408. 13:41>> Yeah, for sure.
  409. 13:43For sure niche.
  410. 13:45>> Weirdly, when we tested
  411. 13:48Sun Tzu Prime with William Wallace did
  412. 13:50worse
  413. 13:51and is not buffing as much as Versi.
  414. 13:54So, like and that was true in the 1v1s
  415. 13:57and the 5v5s. In fact,
  416. 14:00we probably should even put Ivar on here
  417. 14:03in niche.
  418. 14:05>> Yeah, I think he also does belong in the
  419. 14:06niche tier with David and Ashurbanipal.
  420. 14:08I think it's quite like similar.
  421. 14:10>> Yeah.
  422. 14:12He was doing quite well, actually. Um
  423. 14:15and in in cases better than the Wallace.
  424. 14:17So,
  425. 14:19Wallace is like really
  426. 14:22really falls down quite a bit. In fact,
  427. 14:24are you going to make a video about Ivar
  428. 14:26for field? We planning to do that still?
  429. 14:28>> Yes. I I am going to. I'm just gathering
  430. 14:31some more information and I'm planning
  431. 14:32to do some more testing on it before I
  432. 14:34>> Yeah. People should check out your
  433. 14:35channel for that. Okay. So,
  434. 14:38the only other thing that I think we
  435. 14:41are now missing
  436. 14:43would be engineering.
  437. 14:46And I don't think the engineering meta
  438. 14:49has changed, has it?
  439. 14:52>> I don't think so, no. I will say I'm not
  440. 14:54an expert when it comes to this stuff,
  441. 14:56so
  442. 14:57>> Yeah.
  443. 14:57>> I'm not like actually sure of
  444. 14:59Elizabeth's viability, for example. Um
  445. 15:02>> Yeah.
  446. 15:04>> But
  447. 15:06yeah, from what I know, it is still
  448. 15:08Gonzalo with Guan Yu that is the like
  449. 15:10siege meta for one march.
  450. 15:12>> crazy.
  451. 15:13That's insane.
  452. 15:15These were the actual some of the best
  453. 15:17investments in Rise of Kingdoms history.
  454. 15:19>> I think they figure I think they
  455. 15:21realized that they made those guys way
  456. 15:22too strong considering how little
  457. 15:24counter play there is to siege marches.
  458. 15:27And then they're like, okay, tone it
  459. 15:28down, tone it down for the for the
  460. 15:31future ones. So, yeah.
  461. 15:33>> Yeah.
  462. 15:33I think these guys were unironically one
  463. 15:37of the best investments in Rise of
  464. 15:38Kingdoms history.
  465. 15:40They're they're up there. Not as good as
  466. 15:42like, I don't know,
  467. 15:44the original Scipio Africanus, right?
  468. 15:46Like not as good as I guess that was
  469. 15:48Scipio Prime.
  470. 15:50Um
  471. 15:50>> Africanus.
  472. 15:52>> I Yeah, I I I was thinking of SA
  473. 15:54Africanus. I was getting confused for a
  474. 15:56second.
  475. 15:57Um and anyways,
  476. 15:59uh okay, we have the siege. I think we
  477. 16:03have everything on here.
  478. 16:05I think this is actually where we land.
  479. 16:08>> Do you want to talk about wedge two for
  480. 16:11cavalry or infantry or is that kind of
  481. 16:13like
  482. 16:14>> Ooh, no, you're right. So, I suppose
  483. 16:17we should find Huo.
  484. 16:19And we should put him on here. And I
  485. 16:21think that's niche tier.
  486. 16:22>> Niche. Yeah.
  487. 16:23>> If you have it
  488. 16:25and you made wedge two for it,
  489. 16:28it is very good. Uh
  490. 16:30>> It is, yeah.
  491. 16:31>> Yeah, like this team I keep battling
  492. 16:33against. It's the final boss of Lost
  493. 16:34Canyon in the toughest KVK in the game
  494. 16:37right now.
  495. 16:38Um
  496. 16:40he's got this and it's just like
  497. 16:42unbelievable how much damage this puts
  498. 16:44out. Huo with Arthur and like it's got
  499. 16:48to be all legendary inscription and
  500. 16:50wedge two cuz it
  501. 16:52is insane.
  502. 16:54>> Yeah, even myself I still run the whole
  503. 16:57Huo Arthur march in my last KVK and it
  504. 17:00did really really well for me.
  505. 17:02>> I would believe that. I would believe
  506. 17:05that.
  507. 17:06Um
  508. 17:07I don't think there's any other
  509. 17:09commanders that should be up for
  510. 17:10consideration or inclusion here.
  511. 17:13We're not putting CJ in here. We're not
  512. 17:15putting Joan in here.
  513. 17:17>> Yeah.
  514. 17:19I think
  515. 17:20skill damage infantry is kind of dead,
  516. 17:22right?
  517. 17:23>> Yeah, we're definitely not putting
  518. 17:25Sargon into this list.
  519. 17:26>> Skill damage infantry is dead.
  520. 17:29I would be talking about Skipio Prime
  521. 17:31and Ragnar, but
  522. 17:32>> I guess you're right. So, like
  523. 17:34we we
  524. 17:36can talk [snorts] about them briefly.
  525. 17:38I'll put them in niche. I think that's
  526. 17:40that's fair.
  527. 17:41Um [snorts] that Skipio Prime and Ragnar
  528. 17:44Prime
  529. 17:46are actually pretty good. And if you
  530. 17:48actually went wedge two,
  531. 17:50like you're kind of good for a little
  532. 17:51bit,
  533. 17:52but but just a little bit, and I
  534. 17:55wouldn't recommend it.
  535. 17:56>> Yeah, to be clear, like don't invest
  536. 17:58into it now, but if you like for
  537. 18:00whatever reason you were so hyped for
  538. 18:02wedge two that you pulled the trigger on
  539. 18:03infantry wedge two back then, like if
  540. 18:05you have it, you should keep using it
  541. 18:07until Pinzer two comes out, and then
  542. 18:08maybe consider making the swap, right?
  543. 18:10>> That's when you got to swap.
  544. 18:11>> Yeah,
  545. 18:12like if you have it, don't swap to
  546. 18:13Pinzer one.
  547. 18:15>> Yeah, I did this on my small account.
  548. 18:17Ragnar with Skipio wedge
  549. 18:20one was amazing.
  550. 18:22Uh and it did great. It still continued
  551. 18:24to do great, which shocked me. But now
  552. 18:26that Pinzer two is on its way, dude,
  553. 18:28>> Right.
  554. 18:29>> I'm
  555. 18:29>> Like obviously don't invest into it.
  556. 18:31It's just like if you have it, use it.
  557. 18:33Don't swap to Pinzer one at least, cuz
  558. 18:35that's well,
  559. 18:36Pinzer two is on the way.
  560. 18:37Um
  561. 18:38but it is like interesting, right? Like
  562. 18:40I mean, right now, the three strongest
  563. 18:43infantry marches might even be like on
  564. 18:45paper. Obviously, the investment is like
  565. 18:47terrible for this in terms of the
  566. 18:49longevity of it, cuz you're going to
  567. 18:50have to swap it when Pinzer two comes
  568. 18:51out again.
  569. 18:52But
  570. 18:54running the like two meta infantry,
  571. 18:55whatever you think that is, the two meta
  572. 18:57smite, and then running a Skipio Ragnar
  573. 18:59as your third infantry march, it sounds
  574. 19:01kind of powerful with wedge two. If you
  575. 19:03do have the inscriptions.
  576. 19:05>> Yeah, if you if you actually had it,
  577. 19:07I think it could do pretty decently.
  578. 19:10With that said, the whole point of this
  579. 19:12list is that your top priority is the
  580. 19:15meta breaker. Your next priority is down
  581. 19:18there in high priority and below that is
  582. 19:20the low priority, which most people
  583. 19:22should never even be looking to.
  584. 19:26Only if you're way ahead of the curve do
  585. 19:28you look to low priority. Like players
  586. 19:30that have been playing the game for a
  587. 19:31long time are looking there.
  588. 19:33Um which is why I
  589. 19:35have the sculptures to max first here. I
  590. 19:37mean I've been playing for 7 and 1/2
  591. 19:38years. So got a lot a lot of commanders
  592. 19:40accumulated. Um
  593. 19:42and these niche tier commanders like
  594. 19:44you're really not looking to invest in
  595. 19:46any of these.
  596. 19:47So your best commanders for investment
  597. 19:50and open field value
  598. 19:52is QSH then Sun Tzu Prime. We will see
  599. 19:56if these end up flipping by the way when
  600. 19:59we get Pincer two. We'll see what that
  601. 20:00does.
  602. 20:02You don't think so?
  603. 20:03>> [laughter]
  604. 20:04>> No, I don't think so. I mean even when
  605. 20:05Wedge one was and Wedge one was a lot
  606. 20:07weaker than Pincer one, right?
  607. 20:10QSH was still stronger than Sun Tzu.
  608. 20:13Even with a special inscription that
  609. 20:14didn't even work.
  610. 20:15>> Mhm.
  611. 20:17Then we've got Who would you say is the
  612. 20:20best in high priority?
  613. 20:22>> Ooh. Uh
  614. 20:24ooh.
  615. 20:25>> Highest potential.
  616. 20:27>> Oh, maybe BQ.
  617. 20:29>> You think BQ is the highest potential?
  618. 20:31>> BQ is good, man.
  619. 20:34Like he has so much damage. Like the
  620. 20:35five target half circle and the malice
  621. 20:37stacks. It's just so much damage.
  622. 20:41>> Yeah, I would believe it.
  623. 20:43>> BQ or Alp and then like Lucha right
  624. 20:46after.
  625. 20:47>> Wow, Cav. You just really like forget
  626. 20:50the Cavs, huh?
  627. 20:51>> Bro, I mean Cavs are in a tough spot.
  628. 20:54Like even Cav players admitted now.
  629. 20:56Usually they're a bit delusional.
  630. 20:58>> [laughter]
  631. 20:59>> And
  632. 21:00just thinking that Cavs are always the
  633. 21:02best. But I mean even Cav players right
  634. 21:03now are like, "Yeah, Cavs suck." So I
  635. 21:06think it's like fair to
  636. 21:08fair to say calves are now are just the
  637. 21:11weakest, right? They don't have any meta
  638. 21:12breaker tier commander. They don't have
  639. 21:14any commander of that power level of Q
  640. 21:16stage and
  641. 21:17and Sun Tzu. And I think even when you
  642. 21:20look at the BQ's, the Alps, the Lu
  643. 21:22Ch'eng, is there like yeah, they're
  644. 21:23competing with their strongest
  645. 21:25commanders, but I don't think they're
  646. 21:26surpassing them.
  647. 21:27>> I think if you put a couple hundred more
  648. 21:29damage factor onto Achilles,
  649. 21:32>> Mhm.
  650. 21:33>> it would have really
  651. 21:34been potential for meta breaker tier.
  652. 21:36>> But it's like he has 2,000 damage
  653. 21:38factor, right? And I think BQ's what?
  654. 21:40Like 2,400, 2,500 plus mallet stacks.
  655. 21:44So, it's like
  656. 21:45he's just dealing a lot more damage.
  657. 21:47>> Yeah.
  658. 21:48I I think I think you're just off by a
  659. 21:50couple hundred damage factor and he
  660. 21:51could have potentially been up there at
  661. 21:54meta breaker and it could have been
  662. 21:55really nutty, but it isn't.
  663. 21:58It just isn't.
  664. 21:59Um okay.
