Special shout out to swords brother Godswyl. He is absolutely amazing for managing to claim objectives and kill enemies at the same time. Ive lost count of the number of games I've won with his active causing a sudden 2 point swing

@@Nandi40k Thank you for the content you do! Honestly I was really overwhelmed starting this game, but watching your guides helped me learn how to best grow my casual account, and without that guidance I definitely would not have stuck with it. And I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that way. Hope you keep up the great work:)

The psychic team not only is smart, it gave me a bunch of new ideas on how to maximize abraxas… They whole video was great, thank you! And thanks to Legend also! 🙏

This is great. Loved the collaboration. That legendary team looks like a royal pain to deal with. I'd like to see more team break downs. I'm a full overwatch main myself and really enjoy it, but I can also see a variety of weaknesses (Celestene, Noble, Tjark) and so I would really like to hear your thoughts on archetypal team compositions like that: overwatch, final vengance, infiltrate, suppression, summoner, multi-hit, psyker, fast and furious, etc. Love the channel! Thanks!

Oh my days Nandi, this has been the best breakdown of Tournament Arena I've seen to date. Thank you both for your wonderful insights and delivery. Top draw!

Yes, I find this useful. I really enjoy both showing the combo, as well as the ways to work around the combo. A new video when a new team/meta is developed would be great.

Hell ya man!! Showing off cool combos and just straight up utilizing your characters to there potential are videos ive been searching for but cant find. Appreciate it dude. Keep up the good work man!!!

I appreciate this type of video. I understand why most videos focus on guild raids. But TA is probably the most fun game mode. So it's nice to see some love coming its way. I would like to see more teams. I personally run a counter/map control team. (Counter to cookie cutter and summoner teams) and my win/loss is roughly 4/1. (Really only losing to team ragnar(maybe I can add arjac somehow))

I would say the opposite, its just the true PvP portion of a PvE game consider it more like multiplayer expansions for single player games. LRE style content and game modes are definitely one of the best ways they can make the game more fun. Old modes being reworked towards that would add a ton of life to the game short and long term imo.@@malloc7108

I love this content, the explanation and variety of strategy is HUGE for most players. Hope we can get more of it

Minor note, you don't have to kill "all 5" enemy characters for power ups, you just have to kill 5. As a new player I've earned some sneaky wins from players who used Isabella's active and I assume didn't realise the original kill still counted and they've just offered up an already damaged character who will count again.

As someone, who does not enjoy live PvP in the game for my own reasons (mostly because I do not care about it and so I am very bad at it), I enjoyed this video. Even tho I will probably never enjoy the PvP element myself. :D

Definitly more of this! Thanks

Awesome vid. Not sure if you mentioned it in the video but should have made note that certain essential characters to specific builds had a different border around them.

Amazing video nandi, thanks

Thank you for covering my favourite game mode 💜 As someone who often runs a mostly Thousand Sons army (with Sybel instead or Ahriman for Overwatch), I agree with the points made with the Psyker Slingshot. Toth is also a very nice character to move forwards and bait an attack with for this team build in my experience.

Great work!

Great rip about dealing with the shield!

Ps I did not think about double spawning Abraxus with Yaz! Very excited by this, ty again! 👍🏻

Nice video as always, thanks!!

Loved this, please do more :)

Always a good day when there's a new Nandi

Jaeger's Passive works almost as well as Ulf's, with the bonus that it works on characters as well. Use his Active to target the opponent's most powerful character.

@LegendJRG

5 ай бұрын

Much harder to get video examples of counters but could certainly do match breakdowns and offer what we would have done in the opponents position potentially as a duo commentary. Good idea, thank you for suggesting it!

As somebody who runs Ragnar/Aunshi/Jain Zar because I think it is hilarious (and the 250 points for the last chest isn't that hard) , there's really no hard counter to Celestine in live TA unless the opponent is dumb or you use Arjac to get rid of one of her angel summons. I think the only counter to that 5 legendary line-up mentioned in the video would be a full Deathguard/chaos team with Rotbone revive RNG In general, Aunshi giving melee units like Ragnar & Templars 5 melee range plus the possibility of a Ragnar double howl boosting Jain Zar to one shot the other team has very few viable counters. Snowprint should make it so Ragnar is not the only hero able to use their active twice in a single turn just because of Aunshi. What makes this a serious problem is most people in the player base don't have access to these units or their counters, which leads to a surplus of threads on Reddit about how the game mode sucks

It's not just that players don't have them, but such comps make others play more meta characters, resulting in large amount of meta-slaves. That way game quickly turns from fun to something that reminds of a job.

@LegendJRG

5 ай бұрын

There thankfully has not been a "meta" team or even teams in a very long time. One of the most exciting parts about the mode to me at least. Jaegar with a melee or health buff is an incredible counter to this all melee team. Much in the way Ulf is to summons, there are very clear solo and team answers to most popular teams and that rock/paper/scissor aspect makes things fun. I would say because of how this team beats the "usual" characters like Thad/Calandis/Revas handily it may seem like flavor of the moment meta but having run it a bunch there are some really hard counters to it, just spacing your team to not get blown up turn 2 significantly ups your chances of winning against it.@@LayronPK

We intentionally led with cookie cutter because not only are they some of the most frequently seen characters, they are all relatively easy to get and necessary for game progression in campaigns(Thad, Calandis, Aleph, Archi). Overall that MOST players even early ones can field many of these characters already.

Hi Nandi love your vids

Nice tips, still going to just have fun with my Nids

Great vid! Tournament arena should really be a permanent fixture.

Thanks for the video. That last team looks scary. I find TA alot of fun, but it tends to suck for new players without access to a large roster. I personally dont think that the characters that start as Legendary are scaled down properly for Common or Uncommon. Perhaps Celestine should only get 1 summon in lower tiers.

Quick question, do i need to match the gear to the mode? If i use epic gear in uncommon does it nullify?

Ragnar, Jaeger, aethana, Celestine, and insert either eldryon or revas depending on whether you like the damage or board control

I'm surprised a tyranid team wasn't added, the extra buffs that Guard and Flying unit get by playing together is sick

Beginner guide for arena would be good, like some types of off comps. Been playing for couple months love the game! But I don’t have many legendaries and have 1 or 2 counters but can’t seem to put together rest of a team

This is Great for me I don't do will in the torments

Jaeger is my ulf against the psychic team. Some reason ALL melee summons go straight to him and he just walks them like ulf

Good video but i have 2 things that i was missing. Sybill and Makhotep slot very nicely into the Abraxas Yazagor combo as one provides concealment and the other allows you to stay safe for a turn and reposition to get the first strike on most maps. The downside is, that you might be screwed by bad maps at time. the second thing, the Ragnar really doesn't work with "any melee characters". if you do not run Celestine it lacks the option to pressure the "goodstuff" or overwatch/ranged teams to make the first turn. If you are then additionally missing aun shi, just don't even try. Celestine is a must have and aun'shi is close to it, the rest is up to the player, but calgar is significantly better than most others. Other than that, i am really happy you covered this part of the game a bit more as i think a lot of people have no idea at all how to approach it.

@LegendJRG

5 ай бұрын

for the first that is why everyone but yaz/abraxas are red, you can literally run them with any other 3 characters and they will fit into the strategy. For the second, considering the buff works on all melee it really does enable pretty much all of them greatly increased effectiveness. Tjark, Jain, and deathleaper are all melee options for dealing with overwatch but Celestine is certainly great in that role too, I use her more as bait than OW control which I have both Jain and Tjark for on my 7 man roster this current TA.

Best game mode, love TA. Slightly hate the final team, it is PAIN lol. Pretty sure Legend has run me over with it a couple times.

@LegendJRG

I'm sorry!

I find several maps in this iteration to be unbalanced to the point where I can effectively quit if I spawn on the wrong side. If my enemy gets damage and multiattack, grabs them with noble and calandis, I found there is nothing I can do to prevent losing. Both will one-shot characters afterwards

Jain freezbe of death is amazing with Ragnar combo. 40% crit from ragnar + her normal 35% + aethana, even on uncommon she will have about 80-90% crit. And har acrive can crit. If you get bonus hits... game over.

Well, This for what I can see are suggestions for compositions. What I am looking for is information so I can do my own theory crafting. 1. what slots are for spawns on each map(So I can order my heroes in order. 2. What equipments to I need and how it works, Heard that crit bonus items on legendary give the full 5% bonus crit chance, and having epic 1 items is not rentable as the bonus is lower than rare 7 3. What is the sparky portrait on the heroes in hero select? I would love this questions answered more than Farm this 5 legendary heroes and win all games.

@LegendJRG

5 ай бұрын

Slots are completely irrelevant for 7 but for 5 man modes its left to right if going second(top of map) or right to left if going first in the order you pick them this has changed for some modes(tyranids) before so not sure if that is intentional or mode specific. Item level "devolves" to match the rarity cap you play at. If you have an Epic 9 item and you play rare it becomes a Rare 7 item of the same type. If you have an Epic 5 item it becomes rare 5, legendary 3 rare 3 and so on. Crit bonuses on higher tiers used to not be devalued(5 to 3) but I believe that was fixed awhile ago and even if not is a pretty irrelevant as crit is one of the least reliable things in the game. Sparkly portraits denote that they have every item and ability at the highest possible place they can be for the mode. For rare that is 26/26 abilities, and 7/7/7 items.

@paddycake5915

Ай бұрын

I think it's 'deep strike' in game, if it's the teleport mechanic that angrax, wrask and a few others have. The gist with the alpha strike is using a method to as turn one as possible get as close to eliminating an enemies damage dealer. Another way to think of it would be just use characters that assassinate low total health pool damage dealers turn one. An example would be using haarken to jump on a sho syl that used its active turn 1, sho won't have a Drone to defen him and will eat a lot of damage and with the rest of your team reaching the battle turn 2 someone with range finish off the shosyl and then the high pierce passively summoned drones won't bother you and their team left with a huge portion of their damage gone to the wind.

If Ragnar gets a kill. Then someone moves next to Ulf and uses an ability, like Calgar, does Ulfs passive get the bonus hit/crit from Ragnar passive, or only his regular attack?

@LegendJRG

Active and passive on Ulf and most characters only get very conditional riders like Eldryon buff and high ground bonus. Only his basic on his turn he moves into contact with an enemy would he get Ulf's passive pass down.
