Thanks for the feedback!

You do see Gorgotha used a bit more than many of the other C-troops, though I’m not exactly sure why that is. His skull reduction gets bypassed by stun and enrage, and while his explosion is good, I’m not seeing what kinds of teams he uniquely benefits.

Interesting points re: Nimue; I pegged her as clearly better than Alderfather when the latter was released, but I can see how it’s become more of a situational call with the release of Maraji Queen making Alderfather a clearly better choice in some teams. Her silence on cast is really really good (though clearly not as good against certain troops) and her 3rd trait is pretty good too, since it targets the first troop (though I wish it triggered on purple matches, like Alderfather’s). I think the combination of everything she brings is better than Sekhma (who’s still pretty good!), particularly since she self-loops. But if I’m missing something and Alderfather is the clearly better option, then she would be an A (or maybe even a B).

For sure Webspinner’s third trait is what makes it good; I was just distinguishing it from the other gimmicky skull team troops. It is a uniquely effective defense troop, but would you say it’s an entire tier better than Bone Dragon or Sheggra? Those two can be scary on defense as well.

Good points re: Liang and Tinseltail. Liang has been hurt by the release of Mistralus as a passive enchant source, and one thing I think I didn’t factor properly for both troops is that the magic boosting, while good, isn’t a game changer (especially as we’ve gotten so many other ways of increasing magic). I like Tinseltail a lot, but I’ll admit it’s a bit situational. If its always-active spell effect were the explosion instead of the magic gain, it would be an A for sure, but for now I’d agree with moving them both down to B.

Yeah, adding faction troops would be a bit pointless anyway, since the list is meant to direct event key spending, but you’re right, there are a number of S-tier Legendaries in the factions. I did make this list to highlight them in a separate thread.
