King Arthur: Knight's Tale - Which Alignment is Best? (For You)

[@Qirei1221]

Very informative video and exactly what I was looking for. You convinced me going old faith tyrant for my first playthrough since this sounds exactly like what I enjoy most. Thx!

[@maxxalos1267]

Happy I could help!

[@maxmoons4796]

Hell yea, another dub for Old-faith Tyrant 💪. I used Balin, Mordred, Ector, and Kay until I got Morgana. Then I switched to Morgana, Dragonet, Morgawse, and Mordred and started to one turn kill entire encounters or bar them off with an ice wall and wait for cooldowns (so just classic xcom 2 playstyle). I knew that the Black Knight's jump is really good, but, for the (low) amount of health in the main story, a champion's stacking just wasn't needed for me. I wouldn't replay the game again (still have other tactical TBS games in line to play), but great review on alignments.

[@maxxalos1267]

Awesome to see another old faith tyrant fan. Nice team comp, arcanists go crazy. I hope you enjoy whatever other games you move on to and thank you :)

[@cidicious8353]

Just bought mine from Steam sale. Good review!

[@georgey2632]

I'm planning on doing a Neutral-heroes-only run (since I don't use them very much) and was wondering which alignment would be best for that sort of run, so this video is very well timed for me :) I think you sold me on the Old Faith / Tyrant quadrant. Seems great for making sure you have enough resources for the items you want to buy. One thing to point out for the Christian / Rightful quadrant is that the hero missions are (in my opinion) generally more difficult. On my first run the White Knight, Lucan, and Lancelot missions really caught me off guard xD

[@maxxalos1267]

Yea, that's true, the recruitment missions for Bedivere and Morgana aren't as bad. Though they have a couple tough spots too

[@quickpawmaud]

Tyrant Old Faith gets Lady Isolde so really they have everything. I thought I would not like Tyrant but it is pretty good. I think it also is probably what Mordred would choose.

[@maxxalos1267]

Tyrant old faith just seemed like what he'd go with in character and the character pool just sounded the coolest to me for my first playthrough. Turned out to be a good pick for my preferred playstyle.

[@quickpawmaud]

@@maxxalos1267 I notice in most of your videos you are playing Tyrant Christian though?

[@maxxalos1267]

@@quickpawmaud I have several save of the different alignments and I switch between them based on which has what I need for the given video. Christian Tyrant was one of my most recent ones where I deliberately tried to keep a variety of characters for different content so it's the one I end up filming with the most.

[@dechilevel1556]

Great video! I personally feel like Rightful+Old Faith is probably the best for a 1st run, mostly due to the reasons you exposed. As long as you realize the value of Ector and the Unsettling Visitor early on, there's not much room to screw up on your decisions on that quadrant. Tyrant alignments have more nuance, precisely due to Wartime Levies and Purse of Gold. Both decrees demand for you to know what you're doing on a macro level, which is honestly impossible to do as you're discovering the game. They're a lot more enjoyable once you're a little more knowledgeable, for sure. A personal digression: Isolde is perfectly usable both in T/OF if you want buffing support and (due to the same reasons Merlin is workable) in T/C. Gotta be mindful of Impious, though.

[@maxxalos1267]

Isolde is a strong unit and yea very usable like you said. For whatever reason I just don't find myself using her a whole lot.

[@GuanYu81]

Thanks for the explanation, simple and clear. 😊

[@bvwalker1]

This was very helpful. I just wish I had seen it before I started. I would have preferred the old faith over the Christian

[@maxxalos1267]

Yea, I think Old Faith is definitely the way to go for a first playthrough

[@donclyburn9497]

not knowing what I was doing i just chose rightful for Lancelot and christian for Galahad....and just embraced what it was. On certain levels i ran 2 defenders a sage (Lucan) with a Champion for beefy groups, vanguard for spread out groups, and Ector for cannon fodder and summoning groups. I was unkillable with all the buffs from (Lucan + Galahad + Percivale) and unleashed either White Knight, or Boudecia in that back line. Im sure it took longer but I pretty much rolled the game and endgame save for a handful of levels that expose your movement / range limitations. Otherwise i called my top 7 the meat grinder.

[@maxxalos1267]

That's really sort of the intended play style for that alignment type and as you seem to have experienced first hand, it works really well. It's a very strong alignment combination for sure.

[@donclyburn9497]

@@maxxalos1267 Your videos and walkthroughs helped a lot so thank you. Cannot wait for season 2 or a stand alone dlc. I also am hoping for traps and marksmen to get some scaling and or more interesting abilities. Fingers crossed.

The Video I needed.

[@Art0r1a]

I slept on this game, but finally tried Rightful Old-Faith. Alas due to the difficulty spike around level 12-13 I rage quit. The game won't from decently challenging to insanenly hard in a mission or two. I really hate it when a game does this. Now I modded the game and am trying Tyrant Old-Faith. We'll see how it'll go.

[@maxxalos1267]

The difficulty spikes can definitely be a pain, I hope your new run goes better. Don't be afraid to turn down the difficulty mid run until you feel like you've gotten past the hump!

[@darkoantunic852]

I am disagreeing about crist/tyr... It has best hero selection possibility if u ask me... because of purse of gold decree... Negative Traits of Merlin and Lady Isodel can be used for advantage (ungear them, activite Decree, gear them agein). With that in mind: u have ur 2 Arcanists and 1 of the best sages. Neutral Heroes like Vangards Lady Boudicea and Sir Tristan will be much better. So Vangards are there...White and Black Knight -best Champs... Same story with Defenders... Let's not forget about traits that improve court tittles, best of them are in this Alignment if u aske me... But of course it not Alignment for new players...

[@lordfluff2394]

Spoilers about side quests right before end of game After playing through the missions where you fight the tyrant unlockable characters, I wouldn't like to play with black knight and red knight due to not liking playing "evil" characters. Are they less irredeemable in their recruitment missions?

[@maxxalos1267]

Black Knight honestly doesn't come off as evil at all in his recruitment mission. Just obsessed with his mission. Red Knight is still terrible but not as bad as the version of him you fight when going Rightful

[@quickpawmaud]

I think I might prefer Old Faith Rightful but I picked Christian for my first playthrough and don’t plan to restart unless I fuck up massively.

[@maxxalos1267]

And if you (hopefully) don't, then there's just another run ready and waiting for you

[@quickpawmaud]

@@maxxalos1267 yeah I ended up restarting and I think I am going to try Old Faith Rightful this time. It has a lot of cool characters I like from Merlin which was one of my favorite shows as a kid.

[@willcardona7712]

Is it possible to do a Rightful path that includes both Christian and Old Faith heroes and powers?

[@maxxalos1267]

Yea, they'll still be usable. They just won't have as strong loyalty bonuses. They'll usually hover around the neutral range if you have one alignment in common and one opposed.

@@monster16bits26 As you progress through the story you will recruit or be given choices to recruit heroes of various alignments that don't match whatever your alignment is.

That's fair enough, they have very different play styles so personal taste toward that will be a big factor.

@@ИванСотников-ш8д I haven't bought the game yet, I'm still thinking of doing it or not but from what I saw morgana and the black knight are from morality reward. I thought that if i go rightful christian, I can't get them since i'm not old faith/tyrant.

[@albertsmith99]

It's an okay game. My first and only playthrough went okay. I chose tyrant and old faith. Beat the main quest but the post game stuff is unplayable. The difficulty spikes and there is no voice acting or anything redeemable about completing the rest. Even the ending was anticlimactic. It feels rushed and unfinished

[@MosCraciun777]

How important it is to get all the religion points ? For example, I can kill Landval early on to get 1 Tyrant Is it worth it ?

[@maxxalos1267]

Old Faith points are going to be more rare than Tyrant. Lots of opportunities for Tyrant points. For the Lanval mission if you want the tyrant point then sure kill him. If the fight is proving too hard for you I'd just take the neutral option and skip the fight. I usually do the neutral option just because its easier

[@miasales7319]

Good video man. Wish there was more on this game. Question. In playing on normal and it seems really easy. Only lvl 6, will it become more challenging? I don't want to increase difficulty unless needed. Thoughts?

[@maxxalos1267]

Yea, the game does have a few difficulty spikes throughout your run. If you make it through them though you'll stabilize and it will return to about the same level

[@miasales7319]

@@maxxalos1267 how about reply value? Once you beat it does second run feel stale? Also do you recommend rogue lite mode?

[@maxxalos1267]

@@miasales7319 I think the game has great replay value going with each of the alignment combinations. I only recommend roguelite if you're looking for a rigid challenge.

[@fredflinstone8628]

I thought the whole morality concept was irrelevant and a wasted mechanic. This was a common weakness in the game as I have the same feeling about training ground, merchant, loyalty, and the economics in general. The fact is that you never really have issues with money and inventory/loot is your typical excessive choice. The reality is you cannot have a large number of characters at the same level as some quickly fall behind and training doesn't ever allow them to catch up enough. Because of this, the difficulty spikes push you into a limited number of actually useful characters on hand. Ranger is useless. Later in the game the sheer number of enemies is what limits the game further as area attacks become mandatory. The extra missions after completing the main story are perfect example of poor game design when the game counters your srongest melee characters by throwing 30 enemies at you within one turn of movement. I started the game really excited and ended it with meh because so many game mechanics were wasted and didn't really add anything, difficulty spikes were annoying, and they spammed you with volume instead of making more diverse, powerful and interesting enemies. You fight the same Picts at the end as the beginning just with more HPs and more of them.

[@alies-]

Tyrant-Christian is my favorite, only because they have the coolest looking heavy knights, lol

Tyrant Christian can certainly be a lot of fun. They get access to some really great characters.
