Thanks again for the feedback.

Trying a different format on for size, this one emphasizing troop role, rather than rarity (for now I’ll maintain [the original list](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/best-epic-and-lower-rarity-troops/56651/15) as well). I also included the lower-rarity faction troops (marked by “\*”), which serve similar functions as these troops in general, and you’ll want to consider while building teams. Some troops straddled the classifications I came up; happy to revisit their placement if you think I got it wrong.
