Star Wars Legion - Battle Force Tier List

[@langerslegion]

What do you think about the rankings? Would you rate something higher or lower?

[@jakubbielecki1027]

Exp Droids B tier. Exp Droids on Worlds "Hold my beer".

501st’s golden zone is skirmish due to how elite the army is. In standard it gets a little tricky trying to hit 800 so you end up maxing out upgrades on units which hurts when they die but you have the right amount of activations and upgrades in a skirmish for 501st. I like running rex and arcs up the front with 2 corps fire supporting and a walker dealing with any armor. Rex and arcs with fire support pretty much guarantees the opponent will lose 2 activations each turn.

I think Experimental Droids might be secretly very good, but hasn't been solved yet. -

[@langerslegion]

Totally agree... While I know folks are down on the changes to Magnaguards... I think the "token sharing" is going drive some interesting lists.

[@SavedByBlood87]

@@langerslegion its a different and interesting way for droids to play.

[@seanalonzo9244]

Looking at the World's results...this comment aged very well lol.

I mostly agree with these rankings. I think the Scout Trooper spam in Tempest is sneaky good with theee bikes. I would still rate it around where you did. It is INCREDIBLY oppressive against people not expecting that much ranged Pierce and Scout 3. Not sure I agree with the Blizzard Force ranking, feel like it is solidly A Tier with the nerfs. Would probably place Echo Base in C Tier though. It has enough going for it to not be considered D Tier in my opinion.

There is magna guards in the box

[@langerslegion]

Oh.. good catch! Can't believe I missed that...

[@dakotacollins6055]

I think Ewoks (Bright Tree) rn should be in low A (Han ball 14 act) but with 501st being so high up and played, I'd pit them no higher than low b

[@langerslegion]

I just worry about the lack of Impact and how quickly you can move them forward to get them into combat/range... Curious... What is the... Make up.. of the Han list you speak of?

[@dakotacollins6055]

@@langerslegion sorry for the late reply. Its han/c3p0/logray/wicket/op chewy. Then fill out the full list of skirmishers and slingers. Han takes esteemed leader and up close and personal. You just surround Han and leverage your maxed out Act count

[@dakotacollins6055]

And as for the lack of impact. You jaut have to pick your targets and mostly ignore the armor, but so far they don't have any trouble moving up the board. And the battleforce not removing suppression helps them always have heavy cover unless you are facing hella blast forces

[@langerslegion]

Thanks! I will need to play a few games with this build...

[@Mroczny1313]

I was 15th on Worlds with my Wookies and I thnik they should be in S or A tier. Exp droids should be in S tier also I guess. :)

[@langerslegion]

Agreed... Time to an updated 2024 version of this video. Thanks for watching!

[@danieldosso2455]

Nice Tier List, however, tier lists in general wont age well while AMG actively continues to update / change the units and upgrades with rules changes and points adjustments.

[@langerslegion]

For sure... That just means a new video when that happens... 😝 Thx for watching and appreciate the comment!

[@danieldosso2455]

I feel Echo Base is more of a C Tier. FD's are pretty good right now. By no means is Echo Base competitive in anyway, but I don't think it's the worse. Also, I feel the OP Vader / HRU nerfs to Blizzard pulls it out of S Tier and into A. A solid Battleforce, and is more likely to win, than not, but not top tier.
