Top 5 Commanders (good) to use in a new season [LOTR: War]

[@gabrieljones2510]

I found running hithilian with mend on my Eomer with Eored leader actually performs quite well making him less of a glass cannon it also allows me to put two points into mounted combat to give my units a chance to deal extra damage and I know hes not a focus commander but more focus isn't really a bad thing cause it decreases your damage received witch is always a good thing

[@soto6411]

Listen people. Its made more complicated then it is. thing to do Take as many tiles as you can Build big army & Kill everything From the lord if the rings movie. The main actors will definitely be the best commanders. Its that simple. Love the videos bro.

[@levihill6542]

Hey guys if you’re f2p and playing a “men faction” I would recommend taking Boromir over Haldir. He can be a great commander with little investment. Has great starting talents at respect level 0 and has two easy to understand builds as a damage dealer or troop enhancer if you raise his respect.

[@ragingbull7715]

ive been using him all season. hes lackluster at taking tiles or atleast it doesnt feel as good as youd think. Tho I have him running in stacks at r5 and he plows through 2 lvl 50 armys

[@gabrielandradeferraz386]

That doesn't sound lackluster at all but ok

[@danielartinger8176]

I agree to most things you said. But I still think arwen is the second best starting commander behind gtg. She is so damn efficient in taking tiles the first 2 to 4 weeks that it boosts your development so much at least when she is r5. Still it's a problem that she gets useless when the game goes on, but for the first few weeks, she is absolutely amazing.

[@flameofudun4238]

I run with R10 éomer, R10 faramir, R8 elladan, R5 GtG and R5 Thorin this season, let's see what happens

[@Tangodownmtndew]

When starting the season I aimed to do Gandalf the white, Eomer, eowyn, Imrahil, and theoden….. if you can imagine. Did three of the five. But your advice with mounted commanders is very important.

[@loganhartsel5513]

My first season I ever played I did evil and I definitely spent money on. But I just made a good account a few days ago and have gotten 5 commanders from chests. And a bunch of gold items. Insane luck. Makes me sick how much more luck I’ve had on it than on my evil account

[@cafeelbosque5772]

I love your videos! Great information, can you make a video on troops and equipment for these best commanders please I really would apprecieate it

[@thevikinggaming1]

I got theoden a few days ago for a insta unlock from the crates in-between seasons

[@thevikinggaming1]

And I hard unlocked gimly

[@kingofcards4965]

I’m a f2p who got lucky and got Elrond but I’m not very happy with how he performs. I also have Arwen but haven’t used her too much. Out of Arwen, haldir and Elrond who would you recommend as my 4th?

[@jessehitchcock9141]

Not anymore. His upgrades to his half elven trees make him mighty

[@arnostkapokorna9666]

Rohan is, up until the Fourth Age, a fief of Gondor, and technically the Steward, who gave the Rohirrim Rohan, outranks the king of the Rohirrim, so Denethor beats Theoden.

[@KedrigernGaming]

It is also quite helpful to use commanders you simply have high respect with. Basically, a "weak" commander with high respect can be more useful than a "strong" commander with low respect. Thats what I do... but I do have high respect with Theoden, Gandalf, Eowyn, and Dwalin as F2P so...

[@michaelangelotesta5846]

Hey Chisgule! I recently found this game and subsequently your channel. I love your content, but I am an evil side player. Do you plan on doing any evil accounts in the future to do commander and unit breakdowns like you have for good units? I have tried watching some other people, but I like the energy you bring and you really know your stuff as a F2P.

[@mitchk4445]

I just got Galadriel, she's very close to tier 3. Would she be the better investment at the beginning of the season over Gandalf?

[@wernerchess72]

thanks for your work

[@brandonschifferdecker8083]

Going to prioritize Dwalin over Gimli next season. Gimli has many loses unless he has nice gear and/or Erebor T4

[@megusta9045]

Boromir is underrated, but nice list.

Where is the evil version of the video ?

[@puffpuff5336]

I needed this :D I am trying to figure out my 4 to 6 comanders that I will go all in on

[@dominikliedl4891]

Be carefull with such lists. Look what works out for you. For example all this comanders without Theoden are good for PVE. what do you do if you need PVP then you have Theoden and Eowyn.

[@puffpuff5336]

@@dominikliedl4891 hmm didn't think of that 🤔

[@chisguleplays]

Gimli and dwalin are great in PvP. And Gandalf is solid against evil, or good players who don't realize how counterable he is.

@@chisguleplays Did you fight with them against a Whitch King, a Lurtz or a Grima ?

[@Kili098]

Well I’ve failed then. The commanders I have been able to unlock as F2P are haldir faramir boromir merry/pippin. I was very exited to get one flag for Gil-Galad though lol

[@MNhvacPRO]

I get nothing but full pulls. Just want swan helmet and two noldor swords. But no, I pull king aragorn and elrond. Within 5 pulls of each other. I'd rather focus buffing galadriel and gil galad with good gear

very good job!! and very good game keep going!!

[@philipphammer3474]

Hi Chisgule enjoy your videos. I recently pulled T3 Aragorn King of Men, but only have him at respect 0. Do you have any recommendations for him? Other commanders for a new season I have Gandalf, Dwalin, Eowyn and Haldir R5, Gimli and Imrahil R3 and Theoden and Legolas R1 that I would consider using. Do you Chisgule or any of you guys have recommendations whom to use and which build/army? I would appreciate. Greetings from Austria

[@dodgex6592]

Forget about Aragorn, Theoden is good been r5+ only, also Imrahil sux. Gandalf, Dwalin, Eowyn, Gimli and Haldir is all you need

[@philipphammer3474]

Thanks Dodge X. I keep working on the respect level of the others until they are R5 too.

[@appleb305]

My top 5 list: Theoden, Eowyn, Gandalf, Dwalin (I haven't tested but it seems he does bigger damage than Gimli) and Legolas. But I'll level Gimli as well haha. I always use about 6-7 commanders

[@emsti518]

[@BohemDilenci]

I've pulled one free and get Gandalf the White.

[@seraphim4144]

Haldir is an extremely cheap option with a Beast build and Beornings against the Balrogs. I lose maybe 1-3 per round running full Beos on Beast Haldir. Even early season he is very cost efficient

[@Disinfo321]

What does beast build mean? Doesn't Haldir boost ranged units damage?

[@seraphim4144]

@@Disinfo321 He does boost ranged, and it's likely better to go for a ranged build. But you can also use him with all beornings for easy Heart of Hero points by hitting Balrogs. I haven't used him since season 3 because I switched to evil, but you don't need his r5 tree for a beast build. Silvan Elf, Beast training, Guide, Armed Escort, At least one point in Marchwarden of Lorien. Any extra points you can play around with. Can give Beos chance of pursuit, can go for more comm dmg, more comm stats. Is it the best build for Haldir? I don't think so, but it is a viable and cheap build for heart of hero points, and decent siege for good side. If I remember right Haldir lvl 50 full beos does 180K siege

[@Disinfo321]

@@seraphim4144 most of this is jibberish to me lol, it’s my second day playing. Any tips? I’m at ring lvl 13 rn and 2.5k power/hr. Wasted all my ale buying the hobbit twins to do tips which I regret. Also got them in a chest today lol. Have 4 tier 1 commanders with my highest being lvl 18 euwyn (or whatever) and she’s only r1 (or 2) the one after basic. My Mullen & pippin is tier 3 as I got them in a chest it went to respect, but I just use them when I run out of stamina in my other commanders and for tips

[@seraphim4144]

@@Disinfo321 It takes awhile to learn the game, just keep trying to take the highest power tile you can without losing too many troops. Ask your warband for advice. Those who are into the pvp aspect, focus on 2 commanders and make them strong and use the rest of their commanders for pathing. Pathing is getting around the map by using weak armies to take the lowest possible tiles and then releasing the tiles behind you. Best advice I can give is to read your full battle report. It'll tell you exactly what skills and bonuses are working for you

[@mrrazorback2135]

What does he mean by glass cannon commander? Like does alot of damage but also takes alot of damage?

Radagast shows you his full potencial with beasts like Eagles. It depends which Respekt level they have. for the early game Healcomanders are good like Gandalf and Arwen. for the mid / late game eowyn is a good choice (universal possibilitys).

Well Eowyn is more defensive cav buffs and Theoden more aggresive damage cav buffs, either way they both are great Commanders that you have to use full mounted on so they are very similar both army and gear wise

Both mounted units with tremendous sustain? Ofc there are differences but they both fulfill the same roles in your lineup.

Depends how fast your army should be) Theoden - Attacking PVP (only be carefull against Khaldoon) Looks very similar to me Chrisgule.
