I like the high elf pick. Lots of fire resistance, good air force. Those blue soul grinders are just so hot right now! (Will Ferrell Zoolander voice)

They just adjusted the missile homing to home on different models when multi missile attacks happen because during the first homing change they made it home on one model which messed up certain gameplays of certain campaigns like sister of twilight

Another unit that has been buffed a lot is the DE Medusa, I recommend you try them out

Dahv Plays uploaded a video involving them today and the performance was nuts. They were halving the hp of infantry units in a single volley, on top of their normal good performance against cavalry and SE monsters

Eltharions mistwalker barrage is good now, but it isn't good on his chicken i think. He needs to just sit in mid teir infantry and get a free searing doom every 30 secs. If he is flying around, it doesn't hit and isn't charging at all. Plus I'm fairly certain it friendly fires as well. Tldr foot karl is back lol

According to the patch notes, it no longer causes friendly fire, although that does not prevent it from knock down those models.

I think Swordmasters and Dragon Princes each need some milk. Swordmasters are too risky for their cost, like getting blasted by that Omni-grinder. That's just brutal. Normal Dragon Princes just wish they were Fireborn. And Fireborn are awesome, but they are so expensive. Maybe cost reductions on each unit, or some bonus vs large on non-Fireborn Dragon Princes could give them a better niche.

dragon princes are ok their not super meta but the do pay for themselves often. I personally think its just do to cavalry not really fitting well into one of the high elf playstiles so when people do pick cav it has to be cheap

Now that they're in the pits, High Elves are back on the menu!

Finally some love for THE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF ASURYAN. (Love these small battle replays I normally don’t have a lot of time to watch but these short battles are perfect to watch during my lunch break! Thanks Turin keep it up)

4:48 Bringing bolt throwers would be pretty risky against Tzeentch soul grinders. Unless you can keep the soul grinders out of striking range of artillery (like with archers or phoenixes), the soul grinders will destroy standard artillery machines in about 4 javelins. It can disable an entire artillery unit in 3 or 4 volleys and has a 12s reload time (same as bolt throwers). 3 bolt throwers will beat 1 soul grinder without micro, but double soul grinder or 1 with sweaty micro will crush triple bolt thrower.

the trick to killing screamers is just to duel them in the air with any 2 single entities. the blob focus damage especially for smaller hit box single entities is strong

I watch all your domination battle videos, and now I can tell by the time limit what kind of game it’s going to be. Side note - It’d be cool if Skaven were given Stormfiends. I’m painting them up now, and they look rad. I bet they’d fit right in to Total War too.

Don't know what matchup he would be good in but I wonder how Foottharion would do. A lot less mobility but you just let him grind through infantry with his mistwalker arrows and spam apotheosis the whole game.

I believe Eltharion (and HE generic lords) actually got the same HP buff on the gryphon as the Franz and the empire generals

@davidhernando353

15 күн бұрын

You are correct, it is in the patch notes. Eltharion even received more hit points in gryphon than the other characters, imperials or HE, 1.300 instead of 1.000. Bretonians characters in hippogryph gain the same buff too.

I don't mind SG being more polyvalent, they just need either to nerf the attack damage, either nerf the ammos by a lot. Regarding the air superiority of the HE, especially in the TZ matchup, there is the forbidden tech of using a heaven mage on eagle with roiling skies and curse of midnight's wind to goon any flyers coming after you with the double phoenixes. Take urannon on top for warriors, tzaangors, centis.

Turin playing High Elves?! WHAT PLANET ARE WE EVEN ON

Always a fan of High Elf content. Fun seeing you learn but also coming from single player they have my favorite campaign they are my favorite but I don't quite get them in multiplayer.

Medusas also got affected the same way as soul grinders did. They send infantry straight ot the shadow realm now.

9:03 Turin admits that he is a gooner

Assuming that they did intend to buff the soulgrinder, it could be cool to give it better splash attacks and animations for some infantry clearing power that way it doesn't do everything from range and you could dynamically switch focus depending on what you need to focus down.

After that early kill on soul grinder I was honestly sure this game was going to end in a completely different way.

Medusas are crazy now too. The change to missiles really seems to have made some units a bit too strong

Yay, High Elves. It's always a treat when Turin posts High Elf video.

High Elves definitely need some milk to bring them up to speed like reworks on Dragon Princes and their elite infantry and also cost decreases in their lower tier units. Also maybe they need like an army or faction ability. Maybe they could have something like channeling spire to buff their magic users? Or maybe like a magical aura that gives them ward save. Also it’s kinda of weird that elite infantry in this game gets deleted so easily. They rarely get a time to shine. Anyway, just some thoughts. Thank you for the game Turin! 👍🏻🙂

Always love seeing a Tzeentch W

Medusa got the Soulgrinder of Tzeentch treatment. Huge buff for the Dark Elves !!

I honestly think when those sky rays came out you should have just got the goon squad together and smashed em.

think the problem is mostly not being strong but the ability to bring 2 and such a tiny army with them ;) character SE, elite max % points should be a thing off tourny and mp i say :D

Gotta love CA and GW. Always gotta give chaos some psycho buff :]

Think you need net or Tempest for those Shriekers

The Warden never yields

So this is the second game where im teased by the BO5 and Finals text...Where are the other games? :D

Aren't centigors deceptively strong because they have splash ?

Maybe use rangers with the wide formation should take less dmg

All according to plan

Blessed BO5 Finals returns. Praise be

Might not be worth taking the fangsword vs tzeenth 40 phys res but vs tzeentch magic damage

Will Khorne Soulgrinders ever be viable?

BO5 FINALS gang

Just what we needed, a much needed nerf to heavy infantry!

they buffed units but didnt balance them for the cost like it seems pretty straight forward make a unit better make it cost more.

Hey(Ive never played but am thinking of starting) Do you play on Key/mouse Or on a controller? And which one is considered meta ?

So are those soul grinders gonna be permitted in tournaments? Hopefully its a bug that gets fixed soon, because that doesnt seem legit.

Can someone tell me if Turin is on the record about no more Land Battle tournaments? I never watch the other mode so I rarely see the channel.

Turin have you not read the patch notes? The missiles of soul grinder do not "split" at the end, they just target different entity per missile. This is merely part of the overall design improvement where multi-missile spells and projectiles were previously, under some circumstances, targeting the same entity with all the missiles. They didn't buff soul grinders specifically.

Damn those Soul Grinders are WILDY broken. I kept seeing 30% of a unit's health disappearing off of units all over the map, quite shocking

Think it would be neat if the swordmasters were kinda like the aspiring champions lower model count high health for each one

Still feel that barrier need som counter play mechanic. Maybi vulnerability to magical attacks, something simular to how regen have to fire.

They just need to remove the seeking on the SG's attacks, give em a slightly better AL bonus if they think they underperformed, but the seeking with the multi shot is very powerful.

I really struggle to see the point of the mistwalker units being "single player only" atm. The landship, the thunderbarge and a lot of other units are just straight up better in terms of utility and they do not cost that much... This patch seems "nice" but also has quite a few "cheesy" units on it.

i'm not sure why turin is using gooning instead of ganking but i'm not sure he's familiar with the alternative interpetation of that word

1 view, but 3 likes? what kind of magic is this?

takes like 2 minutes in custom battles to realize the soul grinder changes were a bad idea, the fact that CA can't even do that but still asks for 25 bucks for their DLCs is so sad to me...

I always hear how nice the high elves are yet they have lost every faction war and lose decisively here and are never picked unless the player absolutely loves them lol Maybe it’s a sign they actually suck

I see the soulgrinder do a moderate amount of damage vs a large target which they are geared to deal with, then you shit on their face. What is the problem? is this another cry until they eviscerate the unit like akshina's and slaanesh or is it just another "cost increase"?

@xvim7106

15 күн бұрын

The issue that people are currently having with Tzeentch Soulgrinders is that their ranged attack is treated as a Magic Missile with 5 bolts. In the most recent patch, Magic Missiles were made to spread fire (each bolt targets a different model). The damage breakdown for their bolts is 24 Base and 96 AP with 5 model penetration on things smaller than cavalry. This means they one shot Chaos Warriors (90 hp/model), Ironbreakers (96 hp/model), and quite likely even Hammerers (100 hp/model means the avg Base damage of 6 pushes it through) as well as most any infantry of any other faction barring Chosen (131 hp/model). You can potentially kill 25 elite infantry per shot up from an average of 5 (because they all shot at the same models). This in itself isn't that bad. Artillery should kill infantry it hits, but the spread + penetration means that it is has no 'bad' targets. Therefore it seems like one of the following should happen: the cost should be increased, penetration decreased, or spread removed. Personally, I would prefer seeing either the cost increases or penetration reduced from 5 to 3. More infantry are still killed because the previous version would only kill 5 total models (assuming the line was deep enough to have 5 hit).

@MrEddieLomax

the soulgrinders do look super powerful, although not game-breakingly. If CA intended them to be that powerful then a hefty points increase makes sense. I'm a bit wary though of adding powerful units that have few counters, while as a player it is great to win, it gets old fast when the challenge disappears from the game. The Lizardman DLC's should be the model here, lots of cool units but other than the ancient Salamander they weren't offensively OP on launch, the dread Saurian is powerful - but boy does it cost a lot!

@emultra759

This is one instance where land battle may be more balanced than domination. The need to advance in domination means that the costliest infantry will get nuked if this unit is on the map. At least in land battle, there's some leeway to hold troops back and advance with chaff/artillery/goon squads.
