Great video, ive seen tons of guides of people trying to do the same thing like a tier list but they have no idea what they are talking about and its inaccurate, this is a well informed video, and you get straight to the point and have accurate details. I hate when other you tubers spend 30 minutes blabbing about nothing then you finnally get the content. You do a great job at making videos. Thank you

[@Chicken_Bun]

Awesome video man very insightful and in depth!! Thanks heaps for the team compositions as well!!

[@notinacult5853]

Thank you for being upfront and providing tags. Subbed. I didn't want to sit through the whole thing but did anyway

[@HeIsRisenIndeed7]

Love the channel and you seem like an awesome guy! Keep up the good work

[@azadog1233]

awesome vid, helped me a lot fr

[@nfhazz1721]

Thanks man I’ve helped me so much man please keep doin what you are doin man it’s great 👍🏾

[@Insanepeon]

Thank you! So glad I was able to help! I'll be looking forward to doing updates to these rankings for each season (probably starting with Season 3)

[@DaddyDRock]

Balin needs you to give him another look. Thx for the vid bro

[@azleenhamzah374]

Love this video

[@goldensavior1777]

This is one of the most well thought out videos I've seen regarding the commanders. I need more! Our fellowship is doing really well and we are all just trying to learn how to skill our commanders properly. Definetly sharing this video with them all!

[@saltysimon1817]

Great, that's exactly was i was looking for and you just release it right after i discovered your channel! Awesome. Also, will you do a video on the new season because on my server and in my fellowship there are rumors that we might get split up in our server (even if we all choose the roleplay server) so we are adding each other as friends to try and keep together. If you have some information about this, that is.

[@Insanepeon]

What perfect timing then! 😂😂😂 So for Season 2 if you go with the "mixed" server as an entire server you will all transfer together, but if you go with roleplaying you're only guaranteed that everyone in your faction (on your server) move together. So other factions could end up elsewhere.

[@saltysimon1817]

​@@Insanepeon that's great to hear! If i plays as Lindon in Season 1 and choose to roleplay i have to stick on Lindon aswell?

[@maruner]

@@saltysimon1817 No, you can choose your faction again.

[@valiant4187]

This was a great video but I would love to see a tier 3 list as well. Not sure how well developed that meta is though.

Please output a T3 good Commanders list too! I ve Only Gandalf the White and many people Say not worth ti invest (Better galadriel or king Aragorn)

[@sneakyjuice3384]

Thanks dude! I do bird with grey boi gandi

[@jbshbsskskhbs6713]

I'd say this list changes when you reach level 50 and if you can get strong gear. Some of the commanders don't scale as well as others, and many people have overestimated the power of healing because of how strong it is early on despite how poorly it scales.

[@TorshiaThaoSMAC]

Can you make a video on how to beat/counter them? Like what commander /troops to use

[@griffinolsen]

Great video. Will use this to conquer other servers on Roblox.

[@bladewolf3173]

I appreciate the video. It had a lot of good insight. I did notice one mistake that you made. You made it sound like Arwen's Undomiel has a chance to activate anytime damage is dealt to her units. According to the skill description, it only has a chance of activating against attacks that deal physical damage. So it can't activate if a unit is hit by burn, poison, or focus damage. For comparison, Gimli's Lockbearer skill which activates for every damage type. Other than that, it was a great video with some great advice.

[@mattloren3210]

The max level effect makes it all damage received

[@bladewolf3173]

@@mattloren3210 Is that right? My mind didn't read it that way the first time. But looking at it again that makes sense.

[@Subzerolsez]

For Legolas… I just put guardians or tank units (army like his meat shield) and I focus on Commander damage skills. He is pretty OP

[@strider7043]

he is strongest t2

[@peyopeev8909]

The moment i saw him so low on the tier list showed me this guys has no clue what's up, but he knew how Gandalf works, weird. Anyway Legolas/Lurtz are the most busted comanders late game with tank untis.

[@sneakyjuice3384]

Hi dude what server are you going to play on in season two? And what faction?

[@axiosw0774]

What faction/server are you gonna be playing in?

[@msk-light4869]

IM just curious about arwen. He staits that when she fights against a Gandalf he attacks at certain Instances 5 times but arent a few of them Focus damage? wich would not trigger the Undomiel skill? or did i got this wrong. Cause it says PhYsical damage.

[@shoretrooper74]

I’d really put Aragorn up to low to mid A especially for mid game, in my opinion at least. Dunedian chieftain with nobility just makes your army a beast especially if you’re Arnor (which I am Arnor so I mostly use men) or Gondor. Also with the right equipment even better. Have tower guard up there with dwarfs when it comes to defense and they do more damage too.

[@briantrip5022]

Its best with ram riders

[@marc68521]

@@briantrip5022 I tended to run him with Guard of the towers, Cataphract, and if available swan knights. He almost always does 200k+ commander damage. usually get about another 30-50k damage from troops. I also disagree on his Aragorn build and feel like you should fill out the top tree and all its branches, fill the middle tree and all of its branches, and put two points into the right tree and one point into its tops branch. mattering on your equipment you can choose not to fill out the middle tree fully but still get it to 14 as having the bottom branch on the middle tree filled is very important.

[@ratikonjaria7648]

White Council is good depending on the situation, against evil factions it's great because of champion of the light skill, with Gandalfs conveyor and champion of the light combined my archers slaughtered orcs

For pve

[@goldensavior1777]

@@roman2374 PVE? Nah, Gandalf is the most insane tank when skilled properly for PVP. Insane amount of stuns, 75% chance to double the attacks on his allied units and a huge buff to his army to avoid damage? Dude smacks basically every other commander unless they have a way around his early stuns.

[@nomercygaming3703]

Troops for Arwen ??

[@unfckyourself5295]

All iron warriors with that gandalf build is insanely fun to frustrate people with. Legolas with all guardians works best from my own experience, have him break 200k dmg regularly.

[@15tej]

How bout elrohir?

[@cameronhulcy7481]

The best reason to get White Council on Gandalf is for the -burn damage on High Alert. If you don't want to get nuked by Witch King with Alchemists, this is a must have.

[@Insanepeon]

That makes a ton of sense. I haven't been able to really fight and Evil players in beta nor season 1. Always been up against other good factions

[@cameronhulcy7481]

@@Insanepeon Ha! When I switch to fighting good factions, I reset the points and don’t use White Council or High Alert 😂

[@wezter96]

For what reason do you think Eomer and Gimli is on a higher level than Legolas? Legolas is the best good damage dealer and even if you're at half army he'll still put out the same damage. I've dealt over 280k dmg with him and I only have purple gear that isn't strengthened. A good thing to mention on Theoden is that he's not crazy good until R5. Also the renewed is the worst of his titles by far and wouldn't be relevant in most scenarios until like R25

[@victorpey9680]

My two cents on it: Arwen is simply too good with respect 5 and she shares the same leaves as Legolas. And you'd rather have Arwen than Legolas because, alongside Gandalf, she's the only one healing hero you'll reasticly obtain (unless you're a whale). On the other side, Legolas is just a damage dealer and you can get almost the same amount of damage with Dwalin (a simple T1 commander), Gimli and Aragorn. I think Legolas is indeed the one dealing the most damage among all T1/T2 but you can really do without him. Now if you're loaded in leaves, sure, Legolas and Arwen all the way. But if you have to choose, I think Arwen is better.

[@wezter96]

@@victorpey9680 What do you consider a whale? I had Arwen at R5 and Legolas at R3 when I had spent less than €100. Once you have got Arwen to R5 that's when you invest in Legolas to R3.

[@victorpey9680]

@@wezter96 A whale would be someone spending like 500€+ I think. Someone who could with a bit of luck manage to get a T3 respect 5 commander. I agree with what you said. Once Arwen is 5, for sure get Legolas as damage commander then

[@joseatancemarquez9371]

U forgot arwen unit composition, if u can say it please

[@nl8506]

I've put up over 300k commander damage with gimli.

[@davidmullortomas7745]

In the aragorn skill tree Why not 7 points into raid as its the biggest skill hitter in his kit?

[@bladewolf3173]

Because that requires you to put 14 points into the Strider title which is 6 more point then he recommended for that title.

[@chrisdaly55]

I'm really trying not to let the mispronounciation of the names bother me

[@JuanHerrera-wx7jc]

arwen better than legolas and gimli? r 5? asking for a friend

[@Insanepeon]

Early on, i'd definitely say yes, but as the game is developing and we are all finding more ways to improve commanders, I would say it's changed

[@Godskin_Trio]

Don't invest Renewed with Theoden if you have him at r5. Invest in all other skills and then for the sub skills you'd want damage reduction for mounted units (r1) and reduced defence (r5)

[@talontedperson1305]

i would do that against good factions. I like taking renewed against evil factions because they like to inflict burn and madness. Its really hard to build him in general. everything looks good

[@nimosschmimos]

balin underrated

[@Tangodownmtndew]

Thanks for the video, however, a couple builds I would respectfully disagree with. Gimili’s best build is going to be durin’s a blood and experienced warrior. He’s a ram. The healing only does so much. If you like protect elves you only need to invest three points in that tree. Lastly, not sure how you are doing with your arwin but her healing build is being countered redicolously. Dwalin’s healing build beats her everytime. The men build with her is important. Basically the 2nd tree and 3rd tree completely. Though I agree might doesn’t mean anything, her 20 percent bonus in attack or defense is a game changer. Arwin still heals pretty good without the first tree

[@Rom116Unashamed]

Do you run any of Gimli's R5 skills then or no?

[@antoinetahon4479]

And Dwalin bro ?

Playing now, The Grey heals are so not worth. Super RNG, I've healed between 3k and 40k... 40k is nice but 3k is not even worth the points

[@Insanepeon]

It's not only the heals, but the 75% dodge and stun sub abilities added on as well. With the weapon changes it used to be much better, however it has lost some viability now :( Still a great commander though!
