Empires & Puzzles Top 10 Dark Heroes of All Time! Full hero list and Rankings - Let's Go!! 😈😈😈😈😈

[@s_verm]

Thanks for the great vid! Those were a lot of heroes XD. Well thought out ranking, and the top heroes I really do have to be aware of in encounters. As for my roster, I had Goseck for about a year now, a great comeback hero, saved me quiet often (but also really easy to get him KO against counterattack, so occaisonally a necessary sacrifice. For the Greater Good). Gargoyle immunity and stone skin is an awesome set. Recently got Toon Sartana (had her with C1 before, so quite fast to get levelled) and I really do enjoy her, despite being Sniper; Superior Dispell comes in really handy be it against LB2 or strong buffs. Her absurd high Toon resistance makes her unphazed by enemy shenanigans and keeps her doing work. Growing more fond of that (hideous ahem...) costume by the minute. I am excited for the next list!

[@McNaultyYT]

Lol yes they are hideous but my Toon Magni is growing on me aswell. Goseck is awesome too and sadly I dont have him either but such a good AOE damage dealer. Glad u enjoyed the video 🙏👍👍👍

[@3ko-games]

Another excellent video! Looking forward to the next three… but take your time, man :) that’s some extensive work!

[@McNaultyYT]

Tx 3KO. I thought there were 9 colours in E&P🤔 😂😂😂

[@claythorgaming]

Great video my friend. Loved the hero library review by faction and your top 10. I think you are spot on in the dark top 10 list. The other new hero that just came out is Madea from the Untold Tales portal. I have faced her a few times and at fast speed she hits 3 hard, slows down healing and casts the shift mindless attack which is very annoying!

[@McNaultyYT]

Thanks ClayThor! Much appreciated. Madea is awesome BTW thanks for mentioning. I think I may have skimmed over her a little quickly but a top drawer hero 4 sure!

[@claythorgaming]

@@McNaultyYT btw, Madea just got a buff today!! 😂😂😂 As if she needed one! Now the shift mindless attack will be on the target!

[@McNaultyYT]

@@claythorgaming Aww WTF Lol tx 4 the update.

[@medyk1976kris]

Hey again. Great video. Great list. Goblins rules, and The Musketeer’s king 💪👍 The one extra I would pick would be …Anubis. I love his „greed” skill quite unique and hope to grab a costume one day 😄

[@royinga882]

So many heroes that i havent heard of or seen in the few videos I've seen from you. Great content. Goblins and owls are super overpowered in their events

[@McNaultyYT]

Thanks Roy appreciate your feedback. The goblin owl synergies are pretty insane too ....but for the events someone like Lady of the lake alongside Ludwig or even Dawn - 3 star and Ludwig will get u through just fine, otherwise using items like timestops and health boost healers plus Counterattack will work (Azmia works well). I guess u do need the right heroes tho. 🤔

[@royinga882]

@@McNaultyYT for sure. Thx. That goblin event only allows rare items. That's what really makes it hard

[@frankzhao8352]

Thanks for the great analysis. The new 3K hero looks nasty. But I can think of a couple of counters, mainly with mindless attack heroes like howenwerf, bubbles, cupido, etc. or with someone like Gazelle or Odette.

[@McNaultyYT]

Thanks Frank. Much appreciated! Mindless is nice if u have enough time Hoenwerf is a good option cause innate poison resist gives him a better chance' Odette might not work cause it doesn't say that she removes effects that are uncleansable but CGazelle is a great shout as she does. Thanks for ur insights definitely got me thinkin 👌👍👍👍

[@cilla-brittkettunen9410]

Hi again McNaulty 😊 had to watch again cause pulled C Thot-Amun today, first disappointment but he was for free and then I thought with Shacklebolt why not! Now I'm C2P not F2P used 4€ for vip😂 thanks again for same vid allover again❤😂

[@McNaultyYT]

Lol tx Cilla and congrats on Thoth hope it was at least as helpful the second time round ;?)

[@burritopancho]

Great videos about the best heroes of the game. It would be awesome if you could do the same on the 3 and 4 star heroes. Thx!!!

[@McNaultyYT]

Tx for the props and support. Still a ways to go with the 5s but I'm planning on it. I'm also a huge supporter of using the 3s and 4s to stick it to the OP 5s 😂 make sure ur notifications are on and watch this space. Thanks again 👍👍👍

[@burritopancho]

Sounds great!!!

[@Twilight_Dawning]

Soooooo...i thought you might save dark heroes for last but i see you didn't, lol. If the top 10 i only am without Luna. Aramis is in the beginning stages of starting to fall behind. I no longer have much issues with him honestly. Neither with any of the goblins also. I am very partial to Ludwig, having 2 copies and both double limit broken, but his stats and age are starting to show. Farrah, also double limit broken, is my beast and equalizer. I can't say your wrong in your top 10 choices but might rearrange a bit. Cheers mate and great video as usual. The last top hereos videos i seen were by Anchor over a year ago and i think he might have stopped playing so really enjoyed this updated one. Thank you!!

[@McNaultyYT]

Cheers man I thought so too but the Dark side was pulling me in. TBH I wouldn't think that with ur roster options there would be many heroes that are very problematic or that u don't have enough top drawer counters for. For us mere mortals Aramis is still a solid test 😅. I saw Anchor's 'retirement' stream TBH and I wont knock any content creator cause it ain't my style but I could see he had checked out about 6-9 months before I made my first video. U could tell he wasnt playing by the way he was describing the heroes skills etc. Anyhoo he wants to do Raid SL now and that's good for him. I wish him luck. I got top 10s to do. Thanks as always. Appreciate u man ✌👍🍻😎

[@Twilight_Dawning]

@mcnaultyempirespuzzles1429 lol..I played raid during the confinement when covid came out. Was really big into a well. Would run boss raids on auto while I slept. Set it up for 100 and it wouldn't be done after 7 hours but I would have tons of loot to pick through. I still have the game but it sits unused on my phone. I prefer E&P but only because of the people

[@mikeniemand9368]

Great vid. Where do you put Aramis? Tank>?

[@McNaultyYT]

On Defense I think tank is his best spot if u use dark tanks but if you need to place him on the flank he can shine there as well. Honestly I'd take a whole team of Arami' wings flanks tanks u name it 😅😂🍻🍻 JK but yeah tank is probably his best position 👍👍👍

[@mikeniemand9368]

Cheers! I have him as a 90 tank. @@McNaultyYT

[@bjornheylen6046]

Who do you think is best c2 obakan or c2 cyprianus ?

[@McNaultyYT]

Hi Bjorn 👋 sos for the late reply. It's a tricky one as they both are very similar. If u have the Toon then Obakan wins hands down but for C2 as u said I think I personally would use Cyprian more. I Just love the damage reduction effect it makes the Counterattack more effective.

[@bjornheylen6046]

@@McNaultyYT thx for the response and np that its late glad cyprianus c2 is better than obakan cause i dont have enough ethers to max obakan 😅 f2p live is hard these days in empires

[@shakazulujames]

Sneferu was their way of adding to the mystic of Khufu but none of the other element slow chain through allies is not to the level of Khufu. I use Sneferu in Titan only. Only reason Khufu is used sparingly is I am loaded in Red with Aradia, Madhammer, Gestalt, and Hathor Khufu is regulated to 2nd team. I would add that Phantom is a problem for those I go against he can take a punch.

[@McNaultyYT]

Yep Sneferu ain't quite as good as Khufu I thought so thanks for confirmation.. obvs I don't have him. I have let Phantom in through the backstage door. I feel I was a little hard on him SoS 😅👍tx ShakaZ

[@Glabe87]

1. Luna's buff animation takes sooo long. Fights feel like they take twice as long based on the animation alone. 2. I hope Diochan gets a good costume soon

[@McNaultyYT]

1. True she is the most annoyingest. And 2. Yesssss Pretty Please!

[@easyduh]

This aged well lol

[@chrisrambo6810]

Time to redo the list again lol with characters like demilune

[@McNaultyYT]

I have started just this month. If you check the channel page. We are going by mana speed this time but it's the same deal full tier lists and ranking every single last one of em! 🍻 should be top 20 Fast Speed Heroes next.

[@JeroenW-ud6bd]

How good is madame Giry? Good enough for top 20?

[@JeroenW-ud6bd]

Or better than Snefuru?

[@McNaultyYT]

Fantastic hero 👏 yes better than sneferu. I have LuBu and use him all the time she is the same as him but the better and more powerful version ;?) Definitely top 20

[@JeroenW-ud6bd]

Thankyou!

[@colddarkandempty7644]

IMO I take Hel W/Costume over half this list.

[@jsmusicanddrums]

Phantom

[@McNaultyYT]

👍Maybe we'll have to sneak him in backstage 😎

[@jsmusicanddrums]

@@McNaultyYT he definitely deserves a +1

[@anthonyvalade2959]

No medea?

[@McNaultyYT]

Sadly not tbh I think I may have brushed over her a little fast due to her newness but she is an insane hero and quite probably deserved of a top 10 spot. Sos and tx for the comment.

[@unholywarrior9007]

Hey again and best if the best is costume guardian gazelle oh this is purple

[@unholywarrior9007]

Costume guardian gazelle is the counter to today's new purple hero that has incurable poison

[@McNaultyYT]

😂 love this! Thanks.

[@McNaultyYT]

And yes to this CGazelle is just the best at everything! ;?)

[@unholywarrior9007]

@mcnaultyempirespuzzles1429 no he isn't the best on defense he then can be targeted . But on offense the computer randomly hits stuff . And if gazelle has friends like Rhys and zukean with him and Anne costume Leonidas he makes them all take half damage in damage recived pluss every friend hits 2 times as hard and Rhys makes everyone get mana back faster then they should.... and then you 2end costume gazelle makes 2end Anne 2end costume Leonidas and Odin and what's his face that also hits all do double damage.... only a really bad board can stop you . And if you put him with the new blue or red hero that give stacks where you attack gose up 200 to 250 percent wich dosnt stack with the goblem buff but will stack with Gazelle and then you have costume snow white go off you break the record . Especially if you have your Allie put a red 1 star on his team buff the f out of it no big troop and do this after you get 10 stacks hint hint would make a great video hint hint

[@unholywarrior9007]

@mcnaultyempirespuzzles1429 and yes I have guardian gazelle costume and xiawangmu that could boost my costume Snow white attack 150 percent and gazelle would bost her attack 110 percent more but then they made a new hero that would stack 200 percent thar may or may not stack so I didn't bother to learn how to make her do 500 percent time 310 percent time her attack score because someone else just one up me with the latest hero nanny many Bobo stick your head in dodo I am better then you you thing

[@leons5981]

You admitted in the video this is based on personal opinion , placing Aramis number 1 is a mistake. You barely see him on defense anymore he does deserve top 10 maybe on rank.7 or 8 . No way he is better than Darkfeather , luna etc not my opinion but a fact

[@McNaultyYT]

Ok coming in a bit hot on this one guy. I gotta defend my man Aramis once more so lemme ask you a question. Can u name one other hero that gives undispellable ailment immunity?.. That skill is unique to him and him alone. (And I would add its incredible that it hasn't been changed or nerfed) Also his health boost on damage % whilst not totally unique is an extremely rare and powerful skill. I see ur argument for DF growth is a very powerful effect and he is high up on the list for a reason but here's another question/observation. Lets say I take someone like C1Sabina or C2 Caedmon up against DF and I cast one of them before he goes off. What does he do?.... not much, is the answer. Now let's say I do the same thing to Aramis, does it disable his special? I'll help you out here... the answer is no. In terms of dates of release and power creep only then yeah u have a point but if both were released today and with exactly the same stats I'd pick Aramis every time.

[@leons5981]

@mcnaultyempirespuzzles1429 don't get me wrong he's very good , but the others beat him now . He still is top 10 probably would have him rank 7 . What I do when I play against him I dispell first and than do my other stuff , but he's still annoying on rush he can be a nightmare. But he's no longer really Op some of the others below him like Darkfeather and Luna are Op. That's why you see them more in the defs now in wars than Aramis and I miss Xie Zi Jing Is really strong cannot be dispelled the poison does a ton of poison at fast speed also dispells and goes through dodge I have her if she has family bonus activated the poison can last 6 turns instead of 3 . She should been in top 4 , but to be fair she probably wasn't released at the moment you made the video

[@McNaultyYT]

@@leons5981 Xie Zi Jing is in the video on Dark top 10....right at the end as the 'New Blood' Hero 😉 she wouldve been up there if released earlier tho....The teir lists are accurate up to 02.02.24 so any heroes released in after that who are top 10 worthy I will usually try and mention at the end. 👍

[@gregkaye5583]

I hate goblins based on them being so god damn ugly. The pets etc aren't much better. E&P was introduced to us with classic heroes like Layla, Sharon and Bane with commentary from Vivica, Elena and Richard... Now we are given this goblin shite. I don't seek goblin coins etc and don't get kicks from facing them, but I think that E&P look at situations like this where goblins aren't popular and think that they've made them too weak and buff them further. It's a nightmare.

[@McNaultyYT]

Hehehehehe I can remember getting Skittleskull very early on and that being my main reason for never wanting to level her. That being said the Goblins are pretty ugly looking 😅 I kinda like the diversity it's like our own little rainbow nation of wierdo's 😂😂😂

[@gregkaye5583]

@@McNaultyYT fine, but OP weirdos? Why are they disproportionately ramming these characters down our throats, especially as follow-ups to the classic heroes that they sold the game to us with? If they want to super buff weirdos, why not go with the likes of Bastet? She at least makes sense, far more than 'heroes' that would sunscreen... enemies to death. Some of the shit is nuts. These characters are meant to be fighting gods.

[@iqplusbirdfarm3547]

where anubis

[@McNaultyYT]

I wouldn't have put him in top 10 definitely an interesting hero and the costume released since makes hime better but not S tier IMHO my initial review of him is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp7CXoOwrbOUqMk

[@radbas8297]

Where is rochefort ???????!!!!!!!!!!

[@McNaultyYT]

He just missed out on the top 10 for this list. He is definitely very close though. Tough choice between him and deadboot for that 10th spot imo.

[@ChesterGSawmill]

Aramis #1?!? No chance. Darkfeather is the mantle holder.

[@McNaultyYT]

Cheers Jonathan! Sorry to disappoint and I wholeheartedly agree that DF is a top hero. I had him behind Aramis based on how tough the hero is to fight against. Dfs effect can be dispelled and he can be prevented from using it again by a fair few counters even at 4 star level. Without it he becomes an average healer and a bit of a liability. Aramis on the other hand is much more difficult to stop undispellable ailment immunity is unique to him also and he is a direct hit 3 where DF relies on his buff to deal damage. TBH I think he is in the right spot at 5 . ;?)

[@atis9061]

Yes! I have dark feather and he’s my absolute favorite hands down. I’ve never had a hero I’ve liked as much and I’ve been playing 5 years

[@atis9061]

Aramis wears too much cologne to be number one plus he cannot command birds like DARKFEATHER I will not raid teams anymore that have that Luna on them. I hate that bird

[@McNaultyYT]

Lol it's hard to believe this was only 6 months ago 😅 things have changed a lot since then. I think a new list is in order. Agreed on Luna she is a Nightmare!!

[@graciapropertindo3457]

snefuru must 10 ten 😅

[@McNaultyYT]

Lol close but no cigar! Great hero tho ;?) I'd let him in the top 20 😎👌
