You can get around shared cooldown by having multiple Runesmiths. If you can put 2 Runesmiths in the army, you should.

Anyway, I have spotted 2 mistakes (because of wiki's outdated info): 47:31 Tehenhauin's trait second effect isn't untainted anymore. It gives now -25% casualties suffered from all attrition. (So with Daniel's trait it's -75%! With many factions it's possible to achieve -100% thanks to that.) 55:25 Ku'gath's trait gives only -20% chance of a plague spreading. Pretty disappointing imo.

There's two factions that don't need Malakai's defeat trait at all. It's not just Slaanesh, it's not even primarily Slaanesh since Slaanesh armies can have Marauder Horsemen which do at least profit a bit from the Missile strength buff. The faction that really doesn't need that trait whatsoever are actually the Vampire Counts because they don't have missile or artillery units at all (aside from a few Sylvanian crossbowmen if you happen to get them). 1:16:58 It's not strange that Tomb Kings are friendly with you if you're strong, it is in fact a faction mechanic of the Tomb Kings. More or less all other factions view you as a threat eventually which negatively impacts diplomacy. For Tomb Kings however it is the opposite - the stronger you are the more they like you. It is in fact far more likely for them to go to war with factions that are weak.
@aprinnyonbreak12903 ай бұрын

I didn't realize that some traits have begun to be active only while the lord is on the map. I'm guessing that CA's ultimate goal is to reduce the trait spamming and cheesing on non-active lords, but they don't have the resources to change all those traits. I know they started this with Dwarfs by changing the Oathgold boosting trait to only being active inside the Region rather than map-wide, making it cost prohibitive for lords. Same thing with the Tomb Kings and their Jar Hoarder trait, which [Edit: no longer works if the Lord is disbanded] . Which tbh was stupidly overpowered once you could recruit lords at rank 5: being able to increase your jar income by 6 I believe for zero cost every turn, and not impacting your army cap at all. I remember just swapping out the lord every turn on an army that was just sitting around recruiting or whatever, and then when needed in combat swap the good lord back in once they were available. Rinse & repeat ad infinitum.

I agree with most things, One thing to note about Setra is his start location - it's pretty close to Repanse and Brettonia is so cycle charge dependent that I feel charge bonus buffs can very easily become S tier. I personally make it an early game goal to kill him for this trait early on every Repanse campaign I do. You also seem to rate charge bonus very low in general and commented that "most people won't have a lot of calvary" but there are at least 3 factions that charge bonus directly correlates to power - Brettonia obviously, Ogres, and and Slaanesh, Honorable mention to Wood Elves and Green Skins for Stag Knights and Snottling Wagons respectively. I can only think of one faction off the top of my head who doesn't gain at least some value out of charge which is Dwarves, in fact... I would actually say it is more valuable than Drazhoath's De-Towered. Issue with Drazhoath's is he basically increases gold, while on paper that sounds great, the issue is his location in relation to factions that would actually need it. By the time I can get anywhere near him on Brettonia for example gold is the last thing I care about, If he was easily accessible to Franz I would be farming him every time I run him, but by the time you would be trait farming him it's a nice bonus but hardly S tier. Also personally I find leadership aura's to be very underrated but I also play a lot of armies that have both a lot of low leadership units, and a lot of units that have conditional leadership unit buffs like Chaos Dwarves and Brettonia, so the aura tends to get more value when your lord is also buffing the low leadership chaff in other ways.

Skarbrands trait is the only charge bonus trait that benefits the whole army, all other charge bonus traits only affect the lord itself, therefore they do not benefit your cavalry units.

Throgg was robbed, his trait is just better than rakarth and so should at least have been above him.

The mazdamundi defeat trait could be passable when playing as vampires, skaven, VC to help summons hold from far away. But it's pretty weak even then

Kairos being able to get his own defeat trait through his quest battle might also factor in a bit.

Hey Legend, I've got a question. In many of your videos you mention how important Wurzhag's defeat trait is and how it should ways be one of the first ones you get. How does that work when playing as someone like Tamurkhan with Nurgle. He's so far away from Wurzhag. How do you get that trait early?

1:05:46 I would argue that there’s a bit of value in having Stalk on a spellcaster lord, unless casting spells prevents stalking. It can also be useful specifically for the Cathayan LLs, who want to close to melee but have no mount options, so the Stalk attribute helps keep fire off of them for just a bit longer. Still a bad perk, but not as bad as it could be.

Before one of the 4.X patches, you remained hidden when casting. The only exception were bombardment and missile spells. Now every spell you cast will reveal you unless the character has snipe.

I think the 'outdated' wiki's are the ones that are correct in TWW:2, because as far as I can tell there isn't a separate wiki page for each version of the game. This would explain the traits that apply to defunct mechanics being changed for TWW:3. Not sure why they don't update it, though to be fair the amount of content you'd have to cover is quite a lot.

For Gor-Rok's defeat trait, i think its top of C rather than B for everyone except Clan pestilence where it would be mid to high B because scaven leadership is trash and they are one of the early factions that encounter him, most other factions are either in the are and don't need such a small buff, or have to travel far too much to actually get the trait. Tho I know its not ranked for individuals because that would take 15 years to actually do.

Balthasar Gelt's defeat trait is good but I think it's not better than Marcus Wulfhart's, I'm aware that 6% armor is for all units but 5% damage for missile units is great and plus 10% missile resistance for Lord is just better, but that just my opinion.
@saulinvictus12413 ай бұрын
Gelt has flat +6 (same applies for Zhao). Armor boost is better for every single army especially if you want to autoresolve more or have some low armor units (Malakai and Wulfhart are good for farm only if you have some good missile like elves, Empire or dwarves). And Gelt-Zhao combo is especially good now when those two start next to each other (plus Miao to the north) and can be farmed in quick succession.

there's a special place in hell for when you painstakingly go through all the primeval glory bs and manage to conquer hexoatl, and the reward is... this. and it pretty much has to be your faction leader or other good commander, bcos with bad army you just won't be able to conquer mazdamundi's territories. we really need a serious revamp of some of those traits. alith-anar and lokhir are another ones, really dangerous legendary lords and the most garbage rewards ever.

Malagor's entry is wrong, since the late days of WH2 the leadership part was changed to "+4 leadership for lords army" against everything like Gor-Rok. (Strange, that this entry was never updated in the wiki considering that he is so close to Skarbrand which is a super popular lord.) Teenie-weenie part with "+3 untainted" was changed to "25% less attrition" since late WH2 too.

Just a question: why is Throgg at backend of B, whilst Imrik, Rakarth, and Kholek are all in A tier? He has almost double anti large than two of them and only slightly less than Kholek. Is weapon strength that much worse that negative leadership to monsters and fire resist?

Fireresist to remove the weakness against fire from regeneration is much more impactful than the pitiful amounts of damage you get from those traits.
