Conqueror's Blade - Best Starting Units For New Players!

So we are back with some more Conqueror's Blade as we revist an older video that I really thought needed updated as the meta just changes so rapidly! Always find it a little difficult to decide what units to pick and it has to be a balance between tech tree and seasonal units! What would you pick?
You can help support the channel by checking out the Conqueror's blade packs here: market.my.games/shop/41 (The code to use is 'evo') currently there are 5 pack avaliable all of which help support the channel :-)

[@EvoLozGaming]

A bit of a difficult one in many ways, wanted to make sure I included both Tech Tree & Seasonal units :) Let me know which units you think should also be on this list!

[@AlanApogee]

Where's the Javelin Sargents? I would personally advise against getting the imp pikes because you need to understand when and where to use them or else they die off easily on their first advance especially before being maxed leveled. But for Javelin Sargents, just throw into a pile of enemies at range and you will score kills no matter what, much safer and secure for a new player.

[@raikenpo]

@@AlanApogee Imp pikes good for TW so might as well get it when they are newbie. It was my first few units

[@kermit147]

What's better duel blades or the nadachi

[@ag.m.2280]

@@kermit147 played both. i enjoy nodachi more

[@shadowyclip]

@@kermit147 Player kills DB, Unit kills Nodachi. Both are pretty easily countered though so not very new player friendly especially DB. Everyone has a dislike for DB's so if you're caught out of stealth expect to get focused and returned to the spawn screen.

[@agronomegaming9592]

Hey Evo! - I agree with your opinion about the starter units, I would suggest mostly these, but since you mentioned the Armigers, I think the upgraded Halberdiers worth a mention. Since they came out I'm having so much fun with them, easy to unlock, low maintenance, low leadership cost (even in the next season). :)

[@EvoLozGaming]

Thats true the halbs are certainly a pretty awesome unit! Love the charge :D

[@iamnietzsche7334]

Started playing in August and after messing about with a bunch of gray/green units until +- level 100, the first real unit I obtained and maxed out were the Condottieri Guards. Still bring them in nearly every siege and TW match because a shock troop is just nice to have, in my opinion they deserve a spot on the list :). -- I do feel like Pike Militia has lost some of its power since everyone is bringing stalwarts nowadays, but they're still definitely worth leveling for new players.

[@EvoLozGaming]

Yeah condos are a very good unit, could well deserve a spot, I think in part the problem is I remember when they released back in season 3 and how powerful they were then compared to now!

[@theblackpixell3216]

I wish I watched that video earlier, I unlocked men at arms and spear sergeant the old way, I feel so dumb

[@anonymousunrelated5780]

Very good vid man. Just to share, monastics are the first T5 I unlocked. Very tanky when elited, good for noob cav users like me. As for winged hussars, I unlocked them by finishing the F4 quests. Very good charge, and swift. Stalwarts and paladins might be daunting task for new players especially since they have to unlock the (zylkian militia?) first but you'll never go wrong once you have them. Also condos or azaps are still viable for shock troopers in sieges. Still waiting for your imp shield vid. I want to see your dissapointment with them haha.

[@EvoLozGaming]

Yeah monastics are an awesome cavalry unit, still very good!

[@vitorbarreto9313]

Thank you

[@PapaFenn]

Quick tip on imp pikes, the bracing doctrine works as well for their advance

[@Jixxor]

5:00 to all new players - especially those who do not have plans to upgrade their barrack size with Sovereigns - I recommend unlocking Paladins and Spear Sergeants manually before doing the Season5 challenges. If you have the units unlocked already, you will get a barrack slot expansion by 1, unit XP medals and a nice chunk of unit Kits instead of just the unit.

[@EvoLozGaming]

barracks slot wise its the same because if you haven't unlocked the spear sgts before hand the unit itself comes with a barracks slot

[@Jixxor]

@@EvoLozGaming Interesting, doesn't say so ingame. thanks for clarifying.

[@afflelou2546]

Hi! Great video and i love your accent :)

[@EvoLozGaming]

Thanks :)

[@stebateus7730]

Yrp this is a good video for me. Came back after playing last time in season 2 :D.. I have namkhans and soon those elite pikemens. If I understoof right I could potentially reset spear sergeants in the unit tree and unlock them for free through stalwart challenges and save some xp to smth else right? Or do i get xp back if I already had them unlocked? Also I just unlocked prefecture swordmen because they used to be a fairly cheap go to unit back in the days but I understand thsts probably not the case anymore hmm... I also have condottiere. Leveling both of those.

[@EvoLozGaming]

You could theoretically! I think if you already have them unlocked you get unit xp medals which can also be a little useful so its kind of dependant on what you want :)

[@mr.q337]

Been playing since S2, but only now start grinding my Kheshig LOL. For being the highest leadership cost, I think their power are justified.

[@EvoLozGaming]

They are certainly a pain to get unlocked lots of challenges to get done!

[@TheStylerKingS]

should beginner still go for condos? or go straight for stalwart/paladin instead

[@Weebguy_]

What units do you use with you Glaive build?

[@BAYBARS1234]

Good video as always, Imo Stalwarts are basically immortal if played right, i only find myself losing them to trebs.

[@EvoLozGaming]

Yeah they are certainly very hard to deal witg and extreamly tanky

[@MatrixNative]

good video, wish you would have included more than ONE low Tier unit that you do not have to go to season challenges to unlock. For a new player those season challenges can take quite a long time of grinding. Of course ppl with cash will just buy right through with-out the grind. , good ol pay to win.

[@havalinachiel7694]

this

[@miciso666]

man i got lucky. i piked the spear militia thinking. this would go well when i pick archer. and also picked some archer squad and a shield unit. i think out of all the options i picked the best. and now using spear/bow and having my troops focussed on archers. my friend picked the stalwart paladin route. as he loves to brute charge into combat.

[@0range1968UK]

really helps if you can do a double unit build shield+pike , shield+ranged, pikes+ranged. keeps you and friends alive longer..

[@Debbiebabe69]

2 more plus points on the stalwarts: Firstly the unupgraded version, spear sergeants, are almost as good - so even when grinding for them you have an extremely good unit. Compare paladins, the unupgraded unit is kind of naff. Secondly, stalwarts are the number 1 PVE unit ingame (and to further point 1 - spear sergeants are probably number 2). Pretty much any pve encounter, with the exception of eagle pass expedition where you really need 1 unit of orange cav + 1 unit of vassal longbowmen, you can dominate with just the stalwarts.

[@oliverjiamingchi397]

Can someone tell me how to do free battles? I got spear sergeants and for the stalwarts it says win few matches of free battles

[@Pedrosilva2915]

Hello! I love your videos, I started to play this game a few days ago and I learned a lot from your guides. I just wanted to point out that in these videos your mouse is out of place in comparison to what you are actually pointing in game. Its like shifted to the right and down and its always shifted the same amount of distance.

[@EvoLozGaming]

Yeah I think it's because I have 1 4k monitor and 1 1080p which kind of screws up the mouse positioning :(

[@28Down]

Have you tried bottom line Imp Pikes? I swapped their line a few months ago and they feel really good being tanky.

[@EvoLozGaming]

I've actually not had my imp pike out for a while, a unit that I certainly need to revisit soon!

[@sacredmud4366]

Have max level paladins and they are quickly becoming my favourite unit in the game, so friendly to use and only improve as you improve as a commander. Loving the videos as always, what house are you currently in?

Need these every season im coming back from season 2 ha im so far behind

[@ReverentGhost]

When/where are cavalry units used? I've only done siege and field battles at this point, don't have any cavalry yet but curious for when I get some

[@EvoLozGaming]

Cavalry actually gets quite a lot of use in sieges, trying to sneak around the side streets and charge into the rear of enemy units. Cav often is used very heavly in field battles and territory wars. But worth remembering cavalry is quite expensive to maintain brozne wise

[@ReverentGhost]

@@EvoLozGaming ok cool, thank you!

[@Thromash]

Just a note, the "Armiger Lancers" are also called the "Tundra Yeomen" for some like myself. No clue why they have a different name though.

[@EvoLozGaming]

Yeah the frontier and my.com version have different names sometimes which can be a bit confusing!

[@SokTeJebo]

Stared playing 3 days ago, should i fully upgreade pike militia then slowly works towards stalwarst to replace those 4 star pike with shield and go for cottonari cause paladins are alot of grind for starters? And i an fellow glaive 2 , already havr full rare set and burning glaive 👍

[@EvoLozGaming]

You should hopefully be able to do a few things at once, for example as you are levelling your pike militia you can be working through the challenges for stalwarts because stalwarts challenges also give you the spear sgts. Do agree the paladin grind is quite long so switching to condo after stalwarts seems sensible

[@SokTeJebo]

[@rlifeh]

Ironcap Arqs is great too

[@MrVlad12340]

Hey Evo! Another great video but... there is one question that keeps bugging me. Condottieri and squires (or whatever they called in English) are of the same tier and cost the same, but is there any reason NOT to take Condos over the Squires?

[@AlanApogee]

Other than being easier to unlock and tanker at the cost of offensive capabilities, not really. They are an outdated unit like many tech tree units in this game.

[@EvoLozGaming]

Yeah No particuarly good reason other than easier to unlock, I'd always pick my condos over them

[@kes9127]

Armiger Lancers are awesome :)

[@EvoLozGaming]

They are certainly a pretty good unit :)

[@AlanApogee]

Personally, I find the javelin Sargents as the best starter unit. They are the most cost-effective due to being midway between ranged and melee, which means they can remain alive throughout an entire match and deal serious damage every time they throw their javelins. Specifically for starters who lack unit diversity, having one go-to unit to remain viable on the battlefield should be the greatest consideration and Javelin Sargents fits this niche perfectly.

[@EvoLozGaming]

I am a bit fan of jav sgts certainly a nice all around unit! I do wonder if they really teach new plays the main melee combat mechanics well enough?

[@AlanApogee]

@@EvoLozGaming If you want to teach them melee mechanics, condotorii guards, or any other melee shock troop would be better. Jav Sgts are just the bridge unit that gives newer players a quick way to constantly earn rewards.

[@shadowyclip]

once you get going silver stacks up pretty quickly honestly. I saved silver to buy my marty unit and within a couple weeks of casual playing was back to 200k silver and casual to me is 1 or 2 sieges every other day or so and just enough expo's/clear ruins for weeklies and ai battles for 5 daily matches. Premium account does help speed that along I can't deny that and I'm not necessarily one to suggest leveling faster to new players because the gloves come off with what you fight against once you get to the 60+ bracket.

[@doovybro9000]

Just get spear sergeants as soon as possible and you will MVP matches over and over in the early game
