Are the Venom Knights of Asaph Any Good in Patch 5.2? - Tomb Kings RoR Unit Focus

[@Acidicdevildog]

These latest videos have helped me greatly with Tomb Kings. Thanks for the time and effort it takes to make these!

[@OffToBattle]

Sure, I'm glad it helps. I'll contribute more with a Math of Khalida video or... something like that. Working out the name. But I have some fairly hard numbers how Reload Skill works now, and that's a big help!

I love this unit- another over-juiced Tomb Kings ROR !!! Even without Campaign buffs, this is a certified powerhouse, combining Shock Cavalry like 74 Charge bonus and Melee Cavalry like MA=55 amd MD=56. This unit can literally cycle charge and stay in Melee indefinitely ! After Campaign upgrades, it becomes absolutely ridiculously powerful- Armor=120, MA=65, MD=61,Damage=82 (31+51), Speed=85 and Physical Resistance=10% !!! These are ludicrous numbers. There is literally nothing this unit is not good at. Thanks for a great review. I am looking forward to your Settra video.

[@OffToBattle]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to finally finishing it because it'll be the basis for videos on the other lords including the regular/ Dynasty ones for comparison. But anyway, soon.

This one is a unit I almost never used, just never came up for me so can't comment too muhc. I will only leave my appreciation for you going so indepth for TKs again.

[@OffToBattle]

Thanks, hopefully you remember this enough to add it into one of your late game armies and enjoy the back line carnage it can inflict. I finally got a Settra campaign into where I'm butting against 3000 canopic jars... waited until I hit more steel before making big uses of it. ...I was trying to help Oxyotl against Clan Pestilens and he forced me to do all of the work, tricksy lizard!

[@iceweaver9283]

@@OffToBattle it sits at that weird point where it is not cheap enough for me to get early, and when to use it is usually when I am saving up for extra armies because my lands are too big. Definitely a unit to keep in mind, and I hope we will get some ways to get more canopic jars to let it be more accessible.

[@ZetsubouGintama]

Tasty mass charge. Put them with Khalida for max effect.

[@OffToBattle]

I plan to emphasize her synergy with cavalry when I do a video on her. After Settra though.

[@thrall6647]

Greetings! I love them! I love elite cav. Would doomstack.

[@OffToBattle]

It'd be funny to have a doomstack of Venom Knights.. well, Necropolis Knights are pretty fearsome by themselves!

[@wolffrdu6463]

the noodle riders !

[@OffToBattle]

Oh I get they look like that up close...!

[@wolffrdu6463]

@@OffToBattle also, played the non renom version, no infentery could stop them, they swim through it

[@Canuovea]

Take a good unit and make it better? Fair choice.

[@OffToBattle]

It's impressive... the extra chin gives it infantry level health against cavalry level health opposition...

[@samarkand1585]

Very durable indeed but it doesn't seem to deal its damage very quickly

[@OffToBattle]

It's nothing special in pitched melee against a) mass unarmored targets b) high Melee Defense large, armored targets (Knights of the Black Rose), a hard case I used as an example. But the dirty tricks available (i.e. magic, lord buffs, Necrotect) help put the thumb on that scale.

[@bobrys12345]

Don't you think 6 minutes of pointless footage is a bit much?

[@OffToBattle]

RoR's are short videos, and they usually happen when I don't have the time to do a planned video of substantial length like my upcoming Settra one, which I hope to do this weekend. This demonstrated combat effectiveness against superior model counts and otherwise outnumbered against heavily armored Empire cavalry. And while I'm grateful for whoever watches the rest, no one's forced to. I call it bonus footage for a good reason. I'll be doing longer narrations a-plenty, no one should feel left out over the long haul. Thanks for the comment.
