Who is the most powerful one-man-army lord in game?

[ℬℓα⊂₭ ℙℜ¡ℵ₠]

Who can I get to stupid high levels of DPS and tank that can move forward and take on an entire army while my own army stands back and watches. I assume he will likely need a couple of heroes along side him so that's fine.

Kugath has more health than any other lord, the ability to self heal, and his two major weaknesses (low speed and vulnerability to shooting) aren't relevant in a duel. In true Nurgle faction, he can just outlast any other lord in a 1 on 1.

This thread was someone asking about good one man army lords, not duelists. Kugath melts when trying to solo most AI armies, because some unit will have fire damage/ap/high MA.

Tam-whatshisname probably can.

Tam-pon the Everchosen?

blood for the blood god?

[LoL_Lmao_Even]

I would assume Malus Darkblade

[Defmonkey]

Xau Ming (iron dragon) used to to be nigh on invincible with the right items on and could face tank armies no problem.... dont know if he still gets all that though

It still boggles me that Kugath of all people, an artillery lord, became such a strong fighter.

It's not that he is a particularly strong lord in combat though, in fact he's pretty ♥♥♥♥ at killing stuff.

It's that he is extremely tanky, has mortis engine x2 (skill + plague flail) and access to some very potent spells that can both heal and lay complete waste to anything he encounters.

Kugath is the best duelist. This is about one man armies.

"This isn't about the best dueler... so anyway, here's why Kugath is a great dueler "

If you had to pick one who would you pick and what items would he have to focus on getting?

I think a youtuber tested this once upon a time and iirc Kugath came out on top or close to it

Wasn't that only baseline, for MP?

I don't remember all the details or who ran it, but I don't think it was for multiplayer.

Taurox + SoK

But it's actually a bit boring. Then you'd miss out on the fun with Minos and Gorebulls.

[Navi]

belegar,grombrindal and thorek can solo armies on their own get them a ironwarden tankard and there basically set

[sirkudjon]

Vlad. Though haven't played him a while now so he might be nerfed.

[Dance Commander]

People mentioning vlad, belegar, gor-rok and other tanky lords lol

one man army doesn't mean tanky, it means it can take on an army on its own, and all the lords mentioned have awful offense, they can't take on armies, also people are counting extra traits you can get during the campaign but that's a bad metric to use, every lord can get extra traits, only unique items and skills should be counted.

So In order for a lord to be a one man army he needs all or some of the following:

-great offense potential, be it through melee or magic that can take both on single entities and high model count units
-self sustain, that doesn't just mean regeneration, but winds of magic power reserve increase (very few lords have access to items or skills that actually increase the power reserve while in battle) or fatigue (vigour is extremely important, a mediocre lord with perfect vigour will outduel a melee powerhouse that is exhausted)
-defense, mainly through stats and ward saves, few lords can get ward saves just from their unique skills and items

Having finished the game with most factions on legendary, I would name these lords in no particular order:

-Archaon (crazy stats, duel monster and magic that can clear chaff, no perfect vigour though)
-Vilitch (Good duelist, metric ton of magic to clear chaff, regenerating shield by casting spells)
-Malus (Despite no magic his very unique skills allows him to dispatch entire armies if properply used)
-Yuan Bo (probably the strongest on the list, extremely powerful caster and duelist, is actually much stronger in human form)
-Mazdamundi (one of the weakest on the list, actually struggles against single entity monsters, but otherwise really strong)
-Mannfred (very powerful caster with great sustain, also struggles against big fellas)
-Skarbrand (he can take a while to get rid of chaff but has otherwise no other weaknesses)


Honorable mentions:
-Ku'gath (struggles against single entities)
-Luthor (he has a bit of everything, but his stats are lacking)
-Teclis (lacks single target)
-Tyrion (lacks chaff clearing)
-Imrik (lacks self sustain)
-Malekith (fell behind and got power crept by other lords)
-Drazhoath (lacks self sustain and could use better stats)
-Be'lakor (would be a monster if not for his lack of self sustain and cooldown based defenses)

A masterrune of spite certainly pushes dwarf lords, but that won't work great against monsterous stuff.

[BiteSizeCenter]

Kairos, blue flame for monsters and single entities, aoe for everything else. Can be a bit of a glass cannon, but I'd bet he's one of the faster lords when it comes to solo wiping enemy armies.

This guy can have over 20K hp, which gives him an insane amount of heal/regen cap, then he has mortis engine effect and is a caster too.
