Ah, thanks for the reply! 
Jarl, summer imp and moloch make a really good combo, add hero with torch and youāll get yourself going. That was my team for a long time 
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 itās a really slow team. Oh it generates tons of maps
Some cracking responses above, you can see some clear consistency in the ratingsā¦ Iād add mine but itād be a repetitionā¦ Of all the above Iād say @Shimrraās set was closest to mineā¦ Iād also put Carnex higher but thatās just personal preferenceā¦
Mine would be the same as @shimrra except that if bone was in 7, Iād 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 doesnāt 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 doesnāt 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 Garānok. He seemed so excited that I didnāt have the heart to tell him at first that Garānok 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 Garānok is awful. His ā3 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.
Thatās soā¦ sadā¦ 
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. Itās so low that in current meta he canāt 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 shouldnāt be massiveā¦ but should be a bit strongerā¦
GarāNok: 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 itās just making it even less usefulā¦
This just goes back to the whole āstats need to be balanced so magic matters againā
I need help building a deck.
I have Gloom leaf, keeper of souls, shadow dragon, and sheggra.
Assume I dont have ANY good hero weps because they are ALL event weps that are UNAVAILABLE to new players.
Do you have Valkyrie, Green Slime and Skeleton?
Skeleton
Green Slime
Valkyrie
Keeper of Souls
You wont get a better team. And great for soul farming, also.
the only legendary iāve ever pulled was hydra
today iāve pulled one more
itās kerberos
everyone says kerberos sucks
i guess i should be happy itās not garānok at least?
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 Iām not sure how effective that is.
Heheā¦ any troop that spawns gems or skulls can give you that ohcrapmomentā¦
ā¦except the Bone Dragon, which now spams SO many skullsā¦
DonBoba, did you managed to pump up a Legendary yet with all its traits?
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.
Ah, same! 
Well Iāll 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. Iām not sure thereās a God tier anymore but the legendaries I think are Tier 1 currently are:
Gorgotha***
Moloch***
Crimson Bat
The Bat doesnāt 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!
