    Mighty Gorgon is by far the best tier 5 unit in the game. No one can match him

      @PSYCH0N4VT 3 года назад +17

      Except jebus cross. In hyper late game oc they are the best, but in jc you cant justify additional 5k to build them because you wanna break as fast as possible and usually make monarch main powerstack when playing fortress. Maybe 1 in 200 games if you dont find any hives and get some gorgons from pandora box or all you have some gorgon dwellings around, only then you could think about that.

    The fact that Mighty Gorgons effectively do 2x-3x damage against level 7 creatures with death stare (do the math) puts them in S tier. Resource silo isn't great, but total cost for Mighty Gorgons is:
    10W 10O 5M 5S 2500 G (base), plus 5W 5O 2000G (upgrade), plus 5W 5O 5000G (silo), 5W 2M 2S 1000 G (serpent hive), 5W 1000G (lizard), 10W 400G (knoll). Summed is:
    40W, 20O, 7M, 7S, 11900G.
    Do the same thing for Master Genies and you get:
    5W 2000G (upgrade), 5W 5O 6C 6G 3000G (base), 5W 5O 5M 5S 5C 5G 2500 G (mage), 5W 5O 2000G (mage guild, not included below because you'll have it for other reasons), 5W 5O 2500 (golem), 10O 1000G (parapet), 5W 5O 300G (workshop). Summed is:
    20W, 30O, 5M, 5S, 11C, 11G, 11300G.
    About the same gold, same days to build, but greater resources for Master Genies. You can argue that the build path is better in Tower because all these buildings give unit production, but you're never able to buy all the units in Tower anyway.

The video is misleading, it's called H3 hota tier liest but it's in fact a jebus cross tier list which only applies to certain people that play the game giga competitively. Creature tierlists for jebus cross don't even matter because factions don't matter, it's all about farming for outside creatures and often people don't even build their castle. Playing the game on turbo and meeting in the first few weeks with your opponent while taking an hour per turn, boring as shite.

    The Mighty Gorgons do not deserve to be so low. The build path is not the only thing to consider. You also need to consider how good they are when you get them from a box or diplo them, and how scary they are when encountered on the battlefield - when you fight agains them, you need to be taking retals *every time*, which affects your whole battle plan, and if they happen to morale - there goes your angels.
    You consider the other factors for some units, but ignored them completely for the mighty gorgons, immediately putting them in C just because of build path. I think that's not fair.

      Well, yes. They are amazing as a diplo or a box unit. Can do fights otherwise impossible. But from my thousands of online games i've yet to see them in a non meme template being use, while the gorgon is a solid unit seen in almost any fortress game. I did put magi higher on the list despite being seen almost as rarely as the gorgon, while you may say this is an inconsistancy, i don't really think so. Because to see the good upsides of a gorgon you need a powerstack of them, meanwhile almost the full potential of the magi upsides is reached by having just 1 of them, making a single dwelling or a small diplo good enough use case for those creatures.

      At first try to play some JC and win some games, then tell me again your conclusions. In JC you focus on creature banks where you get FREE units and rush to the centre at the end of the week. All the gold you spend is usually for HEROES to increase your logistic capability. For mighty gorgons you will have to spend amost 10k for building and 3 turns, so at the end of the week you either have these or monarchs or both without mage guild (gnoll upg 1st turn then serpent flies, market place, resource seelo, lair, upg. lair, mage guild). Not to mention you will have to hire everything and get them upgraded. It will make your heroes busy. So even if you have shit loads of money which doesnt happen too often and nothing else and like 3 gorgon dwellings around (best case), what you get is like 12 mighty gorgons by the end of the week? Or 27 when you are late but at what cost? And even then they are not that great for most of the breaks and other fights and opponent will probably will outfarm you, his units will outspeed you or your mighty stack will fall from 1 implo so they will probably not even have a chance to hit anyone in the last fight , maybe just retaliate to some shit onestack before getting rekt by angels and wyvers. This guy has 600+ elo when good players struggle to get over 400 in Hota. Better just listen what he says.

    Well since we gotta take the template into account:
    1. I genuinely understand why M. Genies go into S tier. They are very useful, with high damage, and I guess awesome for early games. However, if you play a longer game, they are very vulnerable and often die too much to be strong. So A tier in those cases.
    2. Thunderbirds.. HAHAHA no lightning procc. too true :') I mean I sometimes get the lightning procc, but I think their overall usefullness should push them up to lower S tier maybe. They are core in stronghold, both for shorter games and longer games.
    3. Like everyone else I gotta respectfully disagree with mighty gorgons at C :O Yeah sure, if you are playing a short game with scarce recources then the recource silo is an absolute hindrance and they could well be C tier in that case. But otherwise, a solid S. In longer games, in games with many resources etc. In many cases they are just the best tier 5, that's why they cannot be below S alltogether. They are just too good with that stare and general beefiness along with the high defence of beastmasters.
    4. Zealots, I dunno, they do a decent chunk of dmg, and reasonably fast. They are fragile as heck ofcource, but I dunno, B tier perhaps.
    5. Magma elementals are quite bad, but I would say lower end of C tier. Earth elementals are just atrocious and a pathetic excuse for a creature :D

    • @DOGEreal
      @DOGEreal Год назад

      The high defence of Beastmasters has absolutely nothing to do with the unit itself. Also, what do you mean by Thunderbird usefulness? High speed? Meh. Master genies are the best one-satck in the game, the buffs are ridiculous, Haste, Shield, Counterstrike, Bless, Etc... They make your units like straight up 2 times better in combat if you have master genie one stacks to buff, which is not a big investment at all, they also deal very high damage, they do have low hp but you arent gonna bleeding them often because most of the time they One-hit and thanks to their speed not get hit. Mighty Gorgons are really, really hard to build and are a pretty high investment, in short games it's awful, in long games it's great. Thunderbird should say where it is, Master Genie should also stay, Mighty Gorgons either A Tier or High B tier or maybe even Mid B tier.

      @@DOGEreal Sure it has something to do with the unit? You're not ever going to be playing with other heroes when playing foretress, so the defence of the beastmaster is always going to be a factor, as other heroes are a factor for other units. Still, in terms of just the unit itself, it is gonna be way powerful anyway, with or without beastmaster. The only limit as you said is the mighty moos not being that great on small maps. Sure master genies make terrific 1-stacks but for how long are you going to fill your army with 1-stacks untill it is just better with full stacks of other units?
      I said what I said about Thunderbirds, they are strong, I don't know how anybody could deny that. They have speed, they have hp, they have good attack/decent defence. Their dmg is not the highest, but when they procc lightning bolt they do that extra juicy dmg. Being 20% for 10 extra dmg each thunderbird effectively ups their average dmg by 2, bringing them equal to pit lords and only below minotaur kings. And they can fly. Not their fault they have little backup in other stronghold units.

      @@bosspoke No, it has literally nothing to do with the unit, if you see a Tazar in your tavern in early game 99% it will be your main hero, for example, in one game as Conflux I've seen Tazar in my tavern and I've mained him because 1. He rolls for really good skills 2. He levels up into only defense (which is a bit harder to explain why it's good, but it is really good) 3. He has the best speciality in the game,his only downside is that it's possible that he will roll into a bad skill at Level 3, so if I'm playing Tazar Conflux and have a bunch of Earth Elementals which are insanely hard to defeat because of Tazar, would you say that Earth Elementals are S tier?? No, of course not, it doesn't make any sense. I never said that Rocs/Thunderbirds are weak. But actually, you are right on Thunderbirds, they should be top of A tier at least, Minotaur Kings and Master Genies are maybe worse, but Dungeon usually goes for Minotaurs and Tower usually goes Genies, unlike Stronghold which usually goes for Behemoths, I don't know if that should count or no. On Master Genies, you usually go for only ONE Power Stack, Fortress = Wyverns (sometimes Gorgons too) Stronghold = Behemoths (sometimes Rocs too) Castle = Angels (sometimes Crusaders can be a really good side stack) Cove = Nix Warriors (very rarely Sea Serpents or Sea Witches) Rampart = Oof, I'm sorry Rampart, but you suck really really hard, what is that build path??? Inferno = Efreets (sometimes Pit Lords too) Conflux = bruh, that build path, why, just why, but hey! Atleast you made up for it by being a broken faction lol. Necropolis = Skeletons or Vampire Lords, mostly Vampire Lords (and maybe Dread Knights, but if Dread Knights then probably no Skeletons and Vampire Lords). Tower = Master Genies (sometimes Titans too). So one stacks should be able to fit in the army pretty easily.

      ​@@DOGEreal too bad the mighty gorgons are several more in numbers than level 7s and when you encounter them they will never ever be able to destroy the whole stack, after which when the group retaliate they will most likely kill a notable percentage of yours level 7.
      for example, after 3 week, Fortress has 15 M Gorgons, and Castle has 5 Angel, if he is lucky enogh to make angels is second week.
      5 angel can't kill a whole stack of 15 MG

    Yea, this list only makes any sense if you only play ultra-fast maps. Both mighty gorgons and pit fiends should be S tier on any normal map because they are literally the units that make their respective towns playable, and in the case of Inferno, insanely good. The resource silo requirement is not a good argument, treat it as a tier 7 building (fortress doesn't have a separate t7 unit, their t7 is just an upgrade for a t5 unit, weird). Master genies, on the other hand, are complete trash, you would never want to invest so much into units that are only good as 1-stacks. However, if you can get 40 of them at day 4, then they become good. So you are basically evaluating an external dwelling, not a unit itself.

    AFAIK all elementals were originally level 3 creatures before Conflux was introduced and that is the reason why they don't feel like they belong to their actual level. Their level is rather just to match with town creature tiers to standardize them as a faction but it does not affect their stats balance. So honestly all 4 basic elementals can be considered in Tier 3 list to my opinion, that comparison is obviously unfair here.
