the problem with this bois is that the insta-attack when you press 1, its a one click delete the entire enemy formation

[@mikechansw748]

Doing that is way better than XVXV? Is XV useless in comparison?

@@mikechansw748 yes, you should never do v on them, Brace is instantaneous deals more damage and increases their defence, dmg boost is so ridiculous it will kill anything in front of it.

Great gameplay evo. Looks like the 2 people who died in a stalwart brace disliked your video.

I just started playing the game and didn’t really enjoy it. But after watching your videos, I actually got a lot better, and enjoy it a lot now! Keep up the great work 🙂

[@EvoLozGaming]

Thats awesome to hear! Pleased you enjoying the game more now :-)

[@meeneebee]

I dont get why no one is talking about the bug in this unit where you can just walk through any braced unit or units in shield formation like imperial shields without getting body blocked and then just bracing and deleting them with stalwarts thats not supposed to work...

[@freariar1]

I think that the doctrine giving plus 100 damage while bracing, is only for polearms (rare polearm doctrine)

[@EvoLozGaming]

I did wonder if that might be the case, probobly a good thing really don't need higher damaging stalwarts XD

@@EvoLozGaming Yeah, it's only for pike units, I already tried.

[@RubiX333]

As the unit kits are cheaper to replenish in season 5, the 28 unit kits you get for completing the unit challenges are a good way to make silver by selling them on the market, provided you have enough bronze to replenish the unit kits you lose in battle. Same for the paladins. As always, love your videos!

[@Deffekas]

in 6.35 if u put them in advance, in that time. they take advance formation and then put them in brace u get more dmg

[@YKSB5]

Gotta be honest. They seem OP... Almost all of the units from that season of challenges are if you think about it. It may still be early days until more upgrades are introduced; which may be why they are too out of scale compared to other same type units. But as things sit now, I don't think any argument could be made to say they aren't. A single unit counter for another type of unit isn't even going to cut it considering only a few normal units from the unit tech tree can barely compete with these guys, negating more units than it counters.

[@Odid.WarArt]

I look forward to unlocking these guys... I am having fun with the reg sgts, but this upgrade is epic. Evo, I am enjoying your videos!

[@EvoLozGaming]

Yeah the upgrade over normal sgts is significant! Glad you're enjoying the vids :)

[@sacredmud4366]

The doctrine is a "rare polearm doctrine" for the brace damage so I do believe it cannot be applied to stalwarts as they do not wield polearms :)

[@klaasvaak2575]

it is like watching photos of a distant vacation, rip our stalwarts in the current meta

[@giggsi1006]

They are my favourite unit apart the monastic knights. Stalwarts are like a medieval tank :) Also they are the unit with the best look .

[@EvoLozGaming]

Yeah they are certainly a very tanky unit + completely agree about best looking unit :)

[@sharkboyzCT]

Sooooooo.... Now that we have a video on how good they are could we have a video on how to destroy them? I prefer my spear seargents with the cover commended ability. I can get between 64 and 120 kills with them. One game I got 179 kills. But the problem is always stalwarts. I can't break through enough for my seargents to fight through. I'm spear class so nothing to break the line. Great video as always keep it up

[@miiiiihha]

Well like any shield unit rifles or anything else that can pierce trought shields will work, for infantry flank and back attacks are the best, everything else will be too costly for you.

[@sharkboyzCT]

@@miiiiihha and there lies the problem, trying to break through them blocking an alley way or something. No way past them with any of my units, Would something likes pikes be good against them? I'm saving up for imperial pikes and I know they're a great advancing unit. Could they break through?

[@skwash3757]

@@sharkboyzCT there is no counter they can brace through pikes

[@skwash3757]

[@alvaropenademiguel2308]

When the winged hussars arrived!!!

[@johnherbert5601]

Yea they're op if played right. Had a clutch moment taking home base before with imp pike advance into our team, use stalwarts advance with brace once they were close, took losses but demolished the pikes with ease. Flip side been totally demolished Tring to take A in ranked after being swarmed by three units. Back attacks they just can't handle.

[@EvoLozGaming]

They do have pretty good potential as a unit, as you say particuarly hard to deal with when played well but die fast when you do manage to get behind them

[@Repenter0]

Brace damage doctrine doesn't apply, its pike only. The purple shield/spear block doctrine from the F4 quests does apply and it makes them about a bazillion times more tanky.

[@EvoLozGaming]

I was waiting fot this vid

[@cherryrook8684]

I cant wait till end of the season and so they up the leadership cost on these, for the ammount of dmg and tankiness i feel like they should be at the very least 265-270 just so you cant do these doom stacks anymore as they are right now. But thats just my opinion as a fairly new player. Might just be because i dont rly have anything to effectively deal with them

[@calixjoaquindolor766]

Cant wait to unlock them :>>>

[@EvoLozGaming]

They are certainly a nice unit to play with :)

[@niconilo97]

This bracing should have a 30 second cooldown at least .. i think it should be a timing spell , and not that easy to do

[@EvoLozGaming]

I do agree! It would be an effective way of slightly reducing their effectiveness or punishing bad play. 30 secs might be a bit to long but even 15 would be a good change

[@ShockyWolf]

Personally I think after the release of brace there should be a 3 second cooldown, and then make them while bracing unable to do critical damage. The critical damage only affects the walk in and brace tactic and the 3 second cooldown affects slightly with adjustments or quickly changing angles from flanks.

[@jamesfitton5038]

I would love to see you return to the fire archers again

[@skapunker1986]

I have been wondering, does Brace, give any advantage against ranged units? or when engaged by enemy range, should be better be in Non-brace, with shields overhead? in brace mode they slightly keep their shields over their face, but not that much cover from above.

[@robertyny092]

Definitely better in non brace formation, plus I found the damage from archers is minimal against them or paladins which I play most of the time , wondering many times why people bother taking archers...

[@skwash3757]

they can't really get shot by muskets while in brace but get destroyed by archers

[@roelven1282]

truly meta ;) .... every siege... at least 20+ stalwarts in every game.... hell... i am even cautious with my trebuchets nowadays, because you never know in the endgame when you really need it. i dont even use it on archers anymore lol. brace damage doctrine is for pikes or polearms .... and if you like playing with pikemilitia... stawarts are just the extremely upgraded version of them ;) (gameplay wise) nive vid by the way ;)

[@gavinf.6170]

I would expect Stalwarts to get a nerf next season. Not to any stats or mechanics, but to the F2 formation. To have such a tight formation with the entire unit facing one way on Stalwarts can be a little broken.

[@EvoLozGaming]

It could well be possible! Interesting thougt about the formation changes though

[@miiiiihha]

I think setup time for their brace would be enough, so it's used the way it should be. Prepare for the enemy charge,/attack not walking into them an deleting everything by taking a dive to the ground.

[@BinaryLynx]

I'm not sure about all the interactions of units but I've been playing for a while now and i just don't see how they are not OP. Compared to pike guards as another high tier unit they are just overall better except you don't need to "micromanage" guards, but pressing two buttons is easy anyway. Stalwarts are equal/better against everything, even cavalry, as after advancing, pike guards have only brace which is way worse than stallwarts'. Plus stalwarts win 1v1 against advance of guards head on

@@gavinf.6170 There are other T5 meta cav. Good luck countering all of them at once when they swarm from all sides. It gets worse the further you go inside a keep, the more stretched out you will be, which ill make it easier for the cav to pick off the infantry.

Twar is such a minor insignificant part of the game though, the advantage from winning, access to tax free resources, is pretty useless nowadays since requisition tokens are handed out like confetti and players probably mine 99% of their resources with req tokens nowadays...

[@Debbiebabe69]

is the maul.

[@Azr4el]

Shield units doesn't work anymore, there are too many ways to disrupt them in the current meta, specially with the maul destroying then from the front within seconds. Think of imp spearmen, what you feel when you see them now compared to when you saw them on S1-2, personally I just think of free units and I'm not even a maul.

@@EvoLozGaming I have already finished watching the video, I very much agree with almost everything said, as I point out, when this unit charges devastates the units with low armor (even condottieri), you should abuse a little more of the charge against weak units, although the veteran is set on the other branch (im use brace branch too).

I easily get like 120 unit kills even with a bad team, if you tried them before and didnt like them, I suggest you give them another chance!
