Jarl, summer imp and moloch make a really good combo, add hero with torch and youā€™ll get yourself going. That was my team for a long time šŸ™‚ Jarl feeds everyone and himself, summer imp feeds jarl, hero feeds jarl, and moloch is there to dispose of enemies while also stopping them from using spells. Having only 3 mana colors might seem bad at start, but you can use prismatic orb for your hero. I still prefer torch because you can make a sure 4 or 5 match. It also can beat any other team, but itā€™s a really slow team. Oh it generates tons of maps šŸ™‚ ---

Some cracking responses above, you can see some clear consistency in the ratingsā€¦ Iā€™d add mine but itā€™d be a repetitionā€¦ Of all the above Iā€™d say @Shimrraā€™s set was closest to mineā€¦ Iā€™d also put Carnex higher but thatā€™s just personal preferenceā€¦ ---

Mine would be the same as @shimrra except that if bone was in 7, Iā€™d have KOS in 6. Necromancy is just so useful for souls, and targeting a color to change to skulls alsoā€¦ ---

To add to this Jarl doesnā€™t have strong defensive stats in the first place with his health/armor being mediocre at best (_even with leader in place he has less combined defensive stats than most other giants_), which doesnā€™t support his leader trait either. I think several leader traited troops have that problem though, so the trait might just be to weak defense-wise in general considering its restriction to the first position. ---

My little bro just got his first legendary last nite too. It was Garā€™nok. He seemed so excited that I didnā€™t have the heart to tell him at first that Garā€™nok is more or less ranked in the crap tierā€¦ However, he eventually discovered it on his own anyway, and we are now able to add another reason why Garā€™nok is awful. His ā€œ3 damage to allā€ side-effect is especially devastating to newbie beginner teams, where 3 health can easily be a quarter or even a third of a life bar. ---

I had not considered that. How ridiculous. Then again +8 at lower ranks is also fairly silly, so it cancels out. Sort of. ---

Main problem I see with Jarl is not his stats but his spell damage. Itā€™s so low that in current meta he canā€™t kill anyone even with 5+ casts. . A sort of a buff to Garnok could be to replace his leader with some kind of a positioning trait, he could get +1 to all stats the higher he is placed. In first spot he would get +4, in second +3, third +2, and in last spot +1. It would open up more options to place him. ---

Jarl: agreedā€¦ but note he spawns a lot of gems and can (partly) self charge so the nuke hit shouldnā€™t be massiveā€¦ but should be a bit strongerā€¦ Garā€™Nok: fun idea, but still backwards, he should be stronger the FURTHER BACK he is placed, as he is a summoner/support troop after allā€¦ I hate when traits cause conflict with the main design of the troopā€¦ you might say it increases tactical choice, but on a low-use troop itā€™s just making it even less usefulā€¦ ---

While he does spam a lot of gems, he also spams them completely random which can result in lots of free mana for your opponent too. He was my first legendary and I used him for a long time, so trust me as good as he is at spamming and feeding your team, he tends to make a horrible spam every once in a while (and not to rare) resulting in your opponent stomping your first couple of troops. He got a slight buff through his huge trait which synergies well with his spell, but Iā€™m not sure how effective that is. ---

I chose not to do so, I prefer to get fully traited couple lower rarity level troops then a single legendary. I have fully traited many others, but no legendary. ---

Well Iā€™ll necro this thread and get some updated opinions now that Legendary traits were changed with 1.09 and enough time has passed to let things settle. Iā€™m not sure thereā€™s a God tier anymore but the legendaries I think are Tier 1 currently are: Gorgotha\*\*\* Moloch\*\*\* Crimson Bat The Bat doesnā€™t need to be traited to be effective, although it would be nice. Some Tier 2 would include: Infernal King The Great Maw\*\*\* Psion\*\*\* Be interested to see what a new list would look like!
