Great video. Excellent job once again. Would love to see one on very fast and multiple charge heroes as well. Again great job I really love these videos.
I love your vids, and all your list are fact based. Btw, I took my Lianna plus levelled first costume to SE. Still banging my head against the wall. Lol. Very happy you gave C Obakan only an A+ cause I hate levelling costumes endlessly.
Thank you soooooomuch McNaulty! These videos are one of my guilty pleasures! Now I know who to invest my time and resources in. I only have 2 from your top 20, but I'll put the effort into my toon Sartana ( I already have Lianna all the way up on all costumes and she is a beast w toon Elkanen) and limit break my Yellow shark. You are fantastic and S tier all day long!❤😂❤
@@sassykitty8539 aww ty Sassy 😊 🙏 💓 so sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I'm looking forward to getting my Toon lianna done ✔️ and tbh 2 out of the top 20 is still pretty good going. 👍 always a pleasure, tysm 🥂
Excellent list McNaulty. Yes I face many Raids Teams that has Sludgus, Von Rothbart, Diaochan Costume, Lemonwood and the last one normally Fungustine, Grimsteel, Costume Hathor, Bearnadette or Costume Zhuge Liang (Bearnadette firing off first, then getting your mana full just to have Lemonwood fireoff afterwards is just painful). Yes if not being careful, Lemonwood can absolutely be a game changer. Fungustine IMO is as good if not better than Gunktus so it makes sense for both to be just inside the Top 10.
Thanks Daniel 🍻 😊 🙏 really appreciate the feedback and yes i can see Fungustine is also being super effective. Many wrote off Bearnadette originally but she is the definition of a team wrecker 😅 Lemonwood just has that X factor that you can never ever take your eye off of him such a dangerous hero he had to take the crown 👑. Thanks again.
@@McNaultyYT You have no idea how the E%P Community rated Bearnadette at first. I think most rated her Weaker Than Most which is crazy. They probably just look at her speed and made that assumption. Strange that they never thought the same about Treevil or Greel when they were first released. But yeah she's simply close to OP in her current state IMO.
Excellent line-up. Thanks again. I watched all of it right when you uploaded it :) But we still need a breakdown for Very Fast and Very Slow, don't we? :P I am confident you will continue to do a darn good job!!!
Thanx for a great review. As usual. Some words about Omen. I’m lucky to have him on my def. team and primarily attack. He’s great when u pair him with deep healer like Cleopatra. I destroy like 90% of all the OP cartoon teams with his insanity and spreading fiends. But u need to protect your own team with a deep heal when he goes insane 🤪
Cheers m8 that actually makes a lotta sense. I think the key is as u said to have someone like cleo to cover and keep those deep heals coming whilst you let the enemy destroy themselves ty 😊 🙏 😉
Execelent video and serie of videos. Great look on the game heroes. Also great mood man. Empires is a game and games are suposed ro be fun, and your videos bring that fun and great mood with them. Keep em comming. Cheers
Thanks so much BMCM 🙏 💓 I really appreciate that and agree with you 100. It is important to remember it is a game and supposed to be fun 😁 so I try to keep it light. Thanks for your comments 😉👍 🍺
The content of this series is wonderful. From the game (and a lot of the forums,) we can only see who the best heroes are for top 100 Raid Defense. That's such a small aspect of the game for 99% of us, so thank you for considering all aspects of E&P game play when choosing heroes.
Hi Glabe thanks so much I really appreciate your comments and you are always very insightful. I have always made a point to try and be mindful of all aspects of the game and more importantly of the different types of players who watch the videos. Dont always get it right but i do try 😅 youre also spot on that there's a lot to the game and different people enjoy different content as well as players at so many different levels of commitment I would never want to be biased towards seasoned players or spenders at the expense of new one's or FTP 💯 and thanks again 🍻 👏 ✌️ 🥂 🍻
Thanks again for the excellent content! I’m curious about the very fast and very slow… maybe include 3 and 4* by the very slow as there aren’t many around :)
Thanks for the suggestion I may end up grouping them together haven't decided yet 100%. I'd like to do the 3s and 4s separately but will see how we go, I'll definitely bear in mind ty 😊
Excellent video. I have costume Perseus and I'd almost be tempted to say he's the 21st of the top 20 ;) I'd like your opinion on who to Limit Break: Costume Perseus or Toon Insarnia? I have been lucky to get both as a free to play, they are both at one limit break and together they are deadly. Chloris is on the team now maxed, and the last two spots I am still juggling tryouts lol.
I have only been playing now since feb 2023 and i constantly come check your point of view of heroes. Like i just pulled persius costume from legends portal and had to come check if he was worth keeping so great job on these vids its cost me greatly to get the heroes i have probably close to 9000 in less then 2 yrs. Ive limit my spending now
@@chrisschroeder9129 hi Chris thanks for the comment and I am so glad this can be a good point of reference first you. CPerseus is incredible Congrats. Also Appreciate your honesty on the spending side of things it is a good idea to curb spending as you have done and not to chase specific heroes. Try saving until you have maxed who you want to and then go again for a little or setting a firm budget. It is scary how quickly you can end up spending loads and not realising. My advice is mostly not to and if you do to exercise extreme caution. Thanks again and huge congrats on CPersius 👏
Thank you again, sir! Awesome breakdowns and list! I thought Daroga would crack the top 20. Will you be doing lists for VS, VF, and changing speed/multiple charge heroes?
Thanks 🍻 VT that's the plan as long as all goes well. I have Daroga too and was tempted 😅 but sadly had to leave him out. He's top 5 for my roster though 100%
Excellent as always love these longer videos, especially as much or us have characters at 3/70 or just not limit broken it's sage advice. Have 1,2 on the list I agree, especially lemonwood because I hate going up against him too. A good combo run can easily be the end.
Cheers m8 🍻 appreciate the feedback and glad u enjoy these. I feel like hopefully they will hold us out as a point of reference at least until after Christmas 🎄 😅 maybe next spring 😅. Got a couple of fun larger projects coming soon that I'm hoping you will enjoy. Tysm again appreciate it;?)
Great video McNaulty! Thanks for the callout! What can I say, I still love my Hornfel and he is still on my primary red team. 🤣 But as more red heroes are released, I do see him moving down the list. Appreciate your assessment of all the fast heroes and respect your opinion. I know a lot of time and effort goes into your content and it is very much appreciated!
Honibee,.. my sweet sweet honibee 😂 you are most welcome 🙏 thanks for the comments and for your support as well. Sorry to hear that the Horndog is falling slightly out of favour but I can appreciate that happens a lot quicker at your level. Glad u enjoyed it this one definitely took more work that I thought 😅 but feedback like this makes it all worth it. Thanks again 🍻
@@LoriHoward-cy4ib lol cheers Lori I definitely don't dislike the hero i just feel like the knock back effect could have done with a little tlc is all and why have we not ever seen it on another hero before or since I wonder....?
Thank you! I didn't trust my team until I saw your insights🤗 Mena,Ramona,Schimmerscale,Guardian Elephant Vanya,Demilune,Starwalker,Hammerclang,Scoria,Gelert,Vander,Starlass,Lemonwood,Sparclight,Cinderell,Xie Zi Jing,Grimsteel,Xiong Shanjum,All of them make a good combination✌️
@@Vilija23 wow wow wow 👌 you have an incredible group of heroes there some I would absolutely love to have! Probably everyone there except the Bear 🐻 him i could live without lol 😆
Lol 😂 sos for the late reply and apologies to Garten. Sometimes it happens so fast I don't get time to think. Garten should be an A+ hero at least, I can admit when I'm wrong just sour about the nerf I guess. ;?)
Excellent assessments, as always, but I have to disagree with you about Bo & Runt. I absolutely wreck a lot of teams with them, usually working with Leadria, Winnie, Firmin Richard, and one other hero chosen to best suit the enemy at hand, often Goldie. When all party members have 3 minions each, B&R's special can one-hit kill a lot of heroes, and the 50% attack boost is nice. When all party members have 3 minions each, B&R's special can one-hit kill a lot of heroes, and the 50% attack boost is nice, especially in tandem with Richard's attack and defense stacks. On defensive teams, I keep him in the back and he's usually buffed and stacked into full lethality and has probably erased a few attackers by the time he even gets a little attention. He's awesome against Titans, too. Meanwhile, I'm still trying to figure out how to use Pip effectively because those random hits make him a sitting duck for counterattack buffs. If he hits more than one counterattack in a turn, he usually takes himself out and leaves the enemy nearly unscathed. I mostly just keep him around for his wither removal skill against Goblins. This video has convinced me to give him another chance.
I would say Pip alongside Shimmerscale and Daroga would be devastating and Pip with Daroga vs Titans would be amazing. As long as Pip fires first then with Daroga and/or Shimmerscale unless immune to Poison and/or strong Counterattack, I don't see how you could lose in Raids.
Thanks Justin 🍻 and thanks for the feedback on Bo and Runt tbh I just didn't really get the impression he could be any good but it's always different when u face a hero on defense vs using them in attack as you are so I will take ur word 💯 On Pip the randomness can work for or against but tbh I would love to have him. I had a similar problem when I pulled uwe but now that I am used to his mechanic and speed he is one of my most devastating heroes 😉👍 🍻
Excellent video as always! 1 question. What about the Slayer, Magic and Styx family? They are in the middle of nowhere and some of them are pretty good, not meta heroes but pretty decent.
Great question, I am intending to do a separate ranking for heroes with charge mechanics and variable mana speeds like those you have mentioned above and also the Untold tales heroes. As u said I also view them as a unique group all their own so we will rank them together 😉 hope that makes sense 🍻
I would rather face a team with Lemonwood than a team with Diaochan, at least outside of the recent Brawl format. Probably because Gormek is my best minion control hero. She's also been at tank far more often than Lemonwood in my experience. That said, Lemonwood has repeatedly doomed me to defeat when I thought I had worked my way to a victory. And it definitely seems like every top team has a copy. Great list overall. I expected to see Luna (who you skipped over in the initial read through) in the top 20 but the competition is so stiff I don't know who I'd remove to get Luna up there. I haven't faced White Fang or Rust much yet but that Passive Skill that reduces healing is deadly and a big part of their value imo. Thank you for this video and all your efforts. And some extra respect for coordinating the recent collaboration videos.
Completely agree that Monster Island should happen far more often. I've won terrible rewards and never pulled a Hero I ended up maxing but only Tower Events are nearly as fun and it's great to work with Alliance members in a different format. Been playing a year and I think it's only happened 2 or 3 times. Tragic.
Thanks so much for your feedback Eric much appreciated 👏 and very insightful 👍 It's a close call between Diao and Lemonwood 4 sure both devastating defensive heroes in different ways, i think what sways my opinion slightly is that with Diaochan the reason she's so great is solely because of the new passive ability but Lemonwoods skill is more value protected as mana is integral. Thanks for the props on the collabs hopefully we get to work on more for u all in the future 🍻 tx again ;?)
Lemonwood... hmm, i'd say he is potentially the most impactful, but that's only under the right conditions. He is much better on offense than defense since you can choose when to fire. On defense he can be pretty dumb since the AI is dumb - if his first target has low mana then the skill is just wasted.
Lemonwood is a pain to fight against, but on offense he rearely hits more that one or two extra. It drive me crazy. I see this a lot in the random power heroes. I had the same problem with Darkfeather, and the dodge heroes. On an offense team, they never seem to do what the defenders do.
BTW 7:15 , you actually can change the element of a titan or a Mythic titan. Guardian Chameleon does that :) Nylora was also ment to do that to MT and titans in beta, but at fast speed they tought she would be to powerfull I guess. If you notice, the most powerfull heroes are the ones coming from portals we have every month or maybe every 2nd month. The ones that come once a year or once every 6 months are less powerfull. Just an insight on how Zynga makes plans for money grab :)
Well spotted my man 💪 thanks for the info and yeah she would probably be too much a Jack of all trades. Can't just have one that does everything. You gotta collect em all.
Thanks squid and squishy. If it helps I think i only have 1, 2 if i include Toon Lianna, these are the top of the top but that doesn't mean they are the only great heroes. Side note; always use what you have. I don't have the strongest roster but synergy and planning and careful tile play will win u more games than a reckless Whale 😅 cheers 🍻 👍 😉
I'm curious, how are you going to format the top X of magic, Styx, Tides, etc...? All together as oddballs or calculate each charge % and compare them to the closest standard charge speed?
Thanks for the correction and apologies 🙏 he would I think still be A+ for me I do rate him and think he is an amazing hero but just outside of S IMHO ;?)
@@McNaultyYT A+ is fine with me cause being a F2P it's difficult to get any 5* heroes...now I just have to wait for 4 more mysterious tonics to max him out lol...thanks again for the great video👊
Lemonwood can be worked around but as you said there is no actual counter to him. Sometimes he isn't a big deal but you always have to keep an eye on his mana and your teams mana.
@@cbraun7178 he's a sneaky sneaky one 4 sure.. always watching 👀 always waiting ✋️ for the opportune moment. And then he makes you wish u were never born 😅 man I love that guy. 🍋 🪵
@@kevingolomski84 yeah I think you might've missed it in fact he was initially in my top 20 but the randomness of the hit based on the tiles put him just outside still an S tier hero 100%
Bubbles used to be amazing but DATED AF. He dies so easily now. I regrete getting him from SE. He's a C in my opinion. WHO DO I GOTTA KILL TO GET Jolt or Nylora?! The game is so bad to me w/ supers. I still need a blue. (or red attacker super.) I'll tell you what it is about Bo & Runt ----- he's a nonce! Noncenoncenonce. He drives a van with tinted windows. I'm so glad you didn't put stupid ass dumb bobblehead toons in your top 10. I hate them so much. They're why I bow-out of most tournaments these days. I was going to have Psychrowsis deliver yous a nastygram if you put toons in your top picks :D
Lol 😂 plenty of time for me to get the stoopid nasty ass boblehead Toon brigade in to the next one 🤣 and psy told me u'd had words but I didn't know a full on anti-toon mutiny was brewing! Bo & Runt can suck a bag of d's
Lemongwood is so awesome but he frustrates me. Maybe I didn't read his card well enough, but it's always like pshoo pshoo 2 or 3 arrows if I use him. They use him, and its ratatatatataatattatat like friggin 400 arrows
I thought so too but interestingly on analysis Hunter had to take it for the insanity lot he seems easier to use and more reliable. That said though Delores could easily have been up there too. Not top 3 I am happy to make her an honorary top 20 for argument sake 😉 🍻
Sorry to hear that but just to give some perspective just because a hero didn't make the list doesn't mean they aren't great there are loads of great heroes that couldnt quite make the list. 😉
Just rewatched and you are totally right! 😅 can't believe I skipped over her. She is definitely S-Tier imo not quite top 20 material anymore but definitely close she is still incredibly good. My apologies 🙏 thanks for letting me know 😉
Sos didn't mean to skip Luna. She us an excellent hero. I think i spoke about her when talking about Mena. She's definitely one of the best mana controllers out and I would put her above WPipe and Lotl 100% but not better than Mena. Hope that helps and sos for missing her out 😅

Thanks for the props on the collabs hopefully we get to work on more for u all in the future 🍻 tx again ;?)
Lemonwood... hmm, i'd say he is potentially the most impactful, but that's only under the right conditions. He is much better on offense than defense since you can choose when to fire. On defense he can be pretty dumb since the AI is dumb - if his first target has low mana then the skill is just wasted.
Lemonwood is a pain to fight against, but on offense he rearely hits more that one or two extra. It drive me crazy.
I see this a lot in the random power heroes. I had the same problem with Darkfeather, and the dodge heroes. On an offense team, they never seem to do what the defenders do.
BTW 7:15 , you actually can change the element of a titan or a Mythic titan. Guardian Chameleon does that :) Nylora was also ment to do that to MT and titans in beta, but at fast speed they tought she would be to powerfull I guess. If you notice, the most powerfull heroes are the ones coming from portals we have every month or maybe every 2nd month. The ones that come once a year or once every 6 months are less powerfull. Just an insight on how Zynga makes plans for money grab :)
Well spotted my man 💪 thanks for the info and yeah she would probably be too much a Jack of all trades. Can't just have one that does everything. You gotta collect em all.
Great as always😊
@@Gabooca Thank you 😊
Great video
Ty 🍻 😊 🙏
Great list, nice to know I have no fast hero in the top 20. Thanks E&P for the great pulls! Just kidding, maybe, great video, for real
Thanks squid and squishy. If it helps I think i only have 1, 2 if i include Toon Lianna, these are the top of the top but that doesn't mean they are the only great heroes. Side note; always use what you have. I don't have the strongest roster but synergy and planning and careful tile play will win u more games than a reckless Whale 😅 cheers 🍻 👍 😉
Now for the very fast heroes
Terimakasih atas kerja keras anda dalam membuat video ini, saya sangat terbantu dan sangat menghargai kerja keras anda, good job Bro ❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much glad it is a helpful video for you and really appreciate the feedback and support. 🍻 👏 🥂
aliansi Indonesia JKC RPM salam kenal bro
I'm curious, how are you going to format the top X of magic, Styx, Tides, etc...?
All together as oddballs or calculate each charge % and compare them to the closest standard charge speed?
Not 100% sure yet myself 😅 but we have a saying where I'm from: 'n boer maak n plan' which means 'we will always make it happen' 😉
great thank you for video
Lemonwood against a team of toons is literally fireworks 😭😭😭 I’ve seen him hit a vivica over 10xs
Nice video man...just a little correction stain tongue has poison and blind that increases every round...will he still be A+ for your tier list?
Thanks for the correction and apologies 🙏 he would I think still be A+ for me I do rate him and think he is an amazing hero but just outside of S IMHO ;?)
@@McNaultyYT A+ is fine with me cause being a F2P it's difficult to get any 5* heroes...now I just have to wait for 4 more mysterious tonics to max him out lol...thanks again for the great video👊
I have mena and I use him all the time but not with sludgus because when u fire her off it cancels his fluff
Great hero 👏 and hugemungous congrats on the sludgester. Probably a good thing for us all that u can't pair them together 😅😅😅
Lemonwood can be worked around but as you said there is no actual counter to him. Sometimes he isn't a big deal but you always have to keep an eye on his mana and your teams mana.
I have 6 Lemonwoods and only bothered leveling one. Working on my second C Diaochan. No mats to do anything.
@@cbraun7178 he's a sneaky sneaky one 4 sure.. always watching 👀 always waiting ✋️ for the opportune moment. And then he makes you wish u were never born 😅 man I love that guy. 🍋 🪵
@@abbyrhodes814 6!!!..... 6!! How do u have 6! Lol 😂
@@McNaultyYT They gave two as a bonus, I also have 4-5 identical astrals
@@McNaultyYT Every time I pulled an astral elf the second one was Lemonwood. Drove me nuts.
Did I just miss it, or wasn't Vander mentioned at all. I thought he was pretty darn good.
@@kevingolomski84 yeah I think you might've missed it in fact he was initially in my top 20 but the randomness of the hit based on the tiles put him just outside still an S tier hero 100%
@@McNaultyYT Sorry I missed it, I rewatched and caught it the second time.
Bubbles used to be amazing but DATED AF. He dies so easily now. I regrete getting him from SE. He's a C in my opinion.
WHO DO I GOTTA KILL TO GET Jolt or Nylora?! The game is so bad to me w/ supers. I still need a blue. (or red attacker super.)
I'll tell you what it is about Bo & Runt ----- he's a nonce! Noncenoncenonce. He drives a van with tinted windows.
I'm so glad you didn't put stupid ass dumb bobblehead toons in your top 10. I hate them so much. They're why I bow-out of most tournaments these days. I was going to have Psychrowsis deliver yous a nastygram if you put toons in your top picks :D
Lol 😂 plenty of time for me to get the stoopid nasty ass boblehead Toon brigade in to the next one 🤣 and psy told me u'd had words but I didn't know a full on anti-toon mutiny was brewing!
Bo & Runt can suck a bag of d's
Lemongwood is so awesome but he frustrates me. Maybe I didn't read his card well enough, but it's always like pshoo pshoo 2 or 3 arrows if I use him. They use him, and its ratatatatataatattatat like friggin 400 arrows
Lol 😂 it's probably cause I don't have him and only get to face him so I get the ratatatatatatat more often than not 🤣🤣🤣
My dad got none again for the 3rd time 😂
Noooooo not 1. Not even a Toon?..
@@McNaultyYT not even a toon 5* my dad waiting for next one 😢
No Dolores? I thought for sure she will be a top 3 hero
I thought so too but interestingly on analysis Hunter had to take it for the insanity lot he seems easier to use and more reliable. That said though Delores could easily have been up there too. Not top 3 I am happy to make her an honorary top 20 for argument sake 😉 🍻
This video depresses me. Out of top 20, I have only Sartana ranked at 20.
Sorry to hear that but just to give some perspective just because a hero didn't make the list doesn't mean they aren't great there are loads of great heroes that couldnt quite make the list. 😉
you skipped Luna
Just rewatched and you are totally right! 😅 can't believe I skipped over her. She is definitely S-Tier imo not quite top 20 material anymore but definitely close she is still incredibly good. My apologies 🙏 thanks for letting me know 😉
@@McNaultyYT dont think anyone would think anything else, keep up the good work :)
why u skip luna
Sos didn't mean to skip Luna. She us an excellent hero. I think i spoke about her when talking about Mena. She's definitely one of the best mana controllers out and I would put her above WPipe and Lotl 100% but not better than Mena. Hope that helps and sos for missing her out 😅
excellent content again :)
