So what do people think is the best 10 troops of each base rarity of troops looks like? I thought this could be one of the best threads out there for newer and outdated players that had a 1-2 years break. I have lost track on it myself, even playing this game, there is coming new troops everywhere like it’s raining troops lol
Top 10? That’s hard. How about up to 10? I’m sure I’m missing lots too. I scrolled through my troop list and tried to pick what I use the most.
Mythic:
- High King Irongut (delves)
- Ketras (delves)
- Megavore (explore level 12)
- Mistralus (she occasionally fills a nice niche in some teams)
- Phoenicia (PvP farming)

Legendary:
- Glaycion (delves)
- Gorgotha (delve, explore level 12, GW)

- Maraji Queen (fast start for Rowanne or Phoenicia)
- Tesla (delves)
- Tink Steamwhistle (fire storm for Phoenicia which helps with class farming in PvP)
- Wrath (GW)
Epic:
- Apophisis (pet rescue)
- Child of Summer (empowered troop for Phoenicia)
- All the trolls (yay mana generators)
- Fist of Zorn (pet rescue)
- Gargoyle (delves)
- Harpy Mage (explore level 12)
- Marilith (mana generator for Zuul team in delves)
- Mercy (GW)
- Rowanne (easy fight spam like quests or adventure board)
Ultra-Rare:
- Apothecary (delves)
- Blade Dancer (events)
- High Paladin (events)
- Leprechaun (everywhere)
- Moonsinger (empowered mana generator for Queen Bee)
Rare:
- Crysturtle (bounty)
- Plainsumper (bounty)

Also yeah if we’re counting Zuul then he’s the best mythic.
The Gray King shuts down all Mythics.

@Globey Peasant shuts down you! 
LOL…oooookaaaaay.
A few that haven’t been mentioned:
Mythic
- Kurandara’s curse all trait is great. Much better than Enraged Kurandara’s.
- Vash’Dagon can turn into an absolute beast with a few casts.
Legendary
- [all of the double converters]
- Divinia for a killer combo of trait and spell
- Emperinazara for that magic boost trait
- Lyrasza because Madness Storm with Thrall and The Emperor is just, well, madness
Common
- Bogstrider is nearly as cheap to cast as Thrall, plus he doesn’t block purple, can entangle, and survives skull hits better

If I “missed” something its because I’m not literally omniscient, don’t use it, don’t like it, think it should go play in traffic until it dies, etc. Some combination of those. To be fair that applies to some things that made this post too.

before i start my list, here’s a list of troops that should end up on their respective lists, but I’m to lazy to write them into their tiers:
Aphophisis, Child of Summer, Daughter of Ice, Drowned Sailor, First Mate Axelubber, Fist of Zorn, Gimlet Stormbrew, Grave Seer, Herald of Damnation, Lamashtu, Malcandessa, Mercy, Moon Rabbit, Moonsinger, Scurvy Seadog, Tai-Pan
All above have empowered trait and convert gems, so they are either good for quickly filling up your main hitters with mana or giving yourself some extra skull matches (with Webspinner/Fireblade troop in front) right from move 1. These are versatile troops that are good in almost every game mode.
Altough since release of Child of Summer I’m mainly using her instead of Tai-Pan for brown2red conversion and don’t recall if I ever used Scurvy in any of my teams, but other than that, all these are valid picks (PvP,GW, delves, WE, Class Trials, whatever else).
Now, getting to the lists.
Mythic:
HKI (high KING irongut) → using him for delves/d12 explore
TPK ( the possesed KING) → good mana generator, versatile in many setups, personaly use him most of the time with HKI for delving/d12
TGK (the gray KING) → PvP, GW
so a king trio to start the list 
Phoenicia - using her mostly for fast explores on lower levels, but people have a lot of ideas
Zuul - PvP, GW
Obsidious - PvP, GW
Mother of Darkness - been using her a lot, before I got Gray King, an unorthodox pick for GW 
Ubastet - Using him for Events
Pharos Ra - although not using him currently, it’s best pick, if you want to focus on soulfarming
Legendary:
limiting to 10 is just harsh, there’s a lot of good troops that are either a good-arround troop or excel others at doing their job… so i wont limit myself
these are strong picks: Yao Guai, Cederic, Divine Ishbala, Divinia, Emperinazara, Emperor Khorvash, Glaycion,Gorgotha,Holy St. Astra,Infernal King, Keeper of Souls,King Bloodhammer, King Grobtruffle, Kraken, Krystenax, Luna, Lust, Magnus, Nimue, Qilin, Queen Beetrix, Queen Titania, Sir Quenting Hadley, Tesla, Tink Steamwhistle, Venoxia, Webspinner, Wrath
starting from here, there should be 2 lists: one for general use, and 2nd one for arena only, but i’ll focus on those outside of Arena. Arena could have a topic for itself
Epic:
Azura - buff dispell and mana generator
Bone Golem - tanky and deathmarks on enemies
Faunessa - starts empowered and can be very good for high level delves, where you can’t use HKI/ Tesla teams
Moira Cragheart - converts gems to doomskulls, anything that converts gems into doomskulls should be on the list
Rowanne - realy nice, and realy strong with some armor boosting troops/weapons
Shadow Hunter - can work realy nicely against high lvl enemies. it can easily take down single enemy troop at the start of battle
Sir Gwayne - mana generator and summoner
Stringfiddler - silencing enemies and looping itself, this guy is one of most annoying goblins out there
Ultra rare:
Apothecary - good for delves, if you need cleanse and can’t use other troops
Blade Dancer - good for WE, with medals that boost spell damage
Egg Thief - core troop for SK/PP builds
Leprechaun - empowered exploder, good mana generator
Spirit Fox - a nice troop to counter empowered converters, valid for both defense/offense
Wyvern - works nice with Scorpius
Rare:
Amaru - decent bountyhunter troop
Clockwork Sphinx- early game unit, but probably best early game unit, works great with Rowanne on low levels
Corpse Mare - decent bountyhunter troop
Deep Elven Rogue - a bit gimmicky troop, a bit less usefull with lycanthropy added
Dragonette - same as above
Dragotaur - good in Dragon teams
Goblin Shaman - works nice with EoE/Beetrix teams
Man-at-Arms - decent bountyhunter troop
Savage Hunter - this guy is a MONSTER vs green enemies, valid for GW defence teams
Sister Superior - can be usefull, as she can cleanse anything on round 1, PvP troop
Tigraki Warrior - decent bountyhunter troop
common:
Cunning - usefull with Raksha troops, valid for cheap ToD team
Defiance - usefull with Urska troops, valid for cheap ToD team
Dwarven Gate - in early game, you can see gimmick teams of 3x Gate + King Highforge in pvp
Ferocity - usefull with Tauros troops, valid for cheap ToD team
Finesse - usefull with Stryx troops, valid for cheap ToD team
Giant Toadstool - that 20% transform chance can be realy strong in some situations
Persistence - usefull with Wargare troops, valid for cheap ToD team
Thrall - good mana generator
Treachery - usefull with Naga team, valid for cheap ToD team
Wall of Bones - used it a bit in very early game PvP, combined with Dwarven gate, hero and a damage dealers, idea was to hide behind the double walls and hit enemies with whatever i could, and if my walls get broken, my troops should have enough attack to one-shot enemies
there you go… if i missed a troop, than sorry
Epic no one has mentioned yet: Tuliao
she works best in teams where she can cast on her own 2 colors (yellow/green), so she is a little bit more niche, but then again all the mercy clones are color limited too. I have one green GW team that uses her, and I like her in several delves to fill irongut on yellow even more than I like some of the classic converters (such as Valkyrie for example). tuliao/irongut/Amaru is a pretty good yellow delve trio actually imho
