So What's your Class Tier List for COE5?

[hannibal]

I have only tried a few races so I will order them as far as I can tell as a newb. I like discussing tier lists.

1)Voice of El (Crusades and Inquistions and Blessings, even though It is not cheap. Also save scumming is pretty much needed vs AI to get good blessings, vs human players cross your fingers). Templars kick ass. Plus breaking seals can send random stupid hordes to spread chaos on enemies)
2) Burgmeister ( cheap crossbows for early game, good economy. Plus they can use Weed which is easily available if you control farms and then you get treants. Also they can get Constructs. So you have your leaders ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ units and you get tons of money to get more crossbows. THEY're OP until you consider they are so slow and that' the worst con ever.
3) Demonolosist probably best late game I have tried, and if you get one of the arch demons you win. But sacrifices are not that easy to accumelate early.
4) Scourage. Their start is very bad. You put pillars next to ancient forests so be prepated for a lot of neutral attacking your places. Plus Iron is not always that easy to get. Also your heroes will be stationary a lot of turns to build things. Then their late game I think is not worth all of that except for Pyramid transportation (Gate) . Also their sellsouls are a great blessed unit but you only get 2 for each purchase and you need to upgrade dark Blessings. Again Blessings are random. Their Dark Magic is also not the best.

Awaiting your thoughts and opinions.

I feel like the necro's real early-game workhorse is Bane Fire Archers behind hordes of undead. Very little in the early game can deal with that, and even some things you'd normally only want to fight later on will fold to it without much fuss. Pretty much everything that lacks a massive AOE just loses to it, really. And you can very reliably roll it out almost as soon as the game begins.

Decay is one of the best level 1 spells; getting five bane bows for 10 hands is like getting five top-tier T1 casters for 2 hands apiece.

(And in multiplayer it has the added advantage that unless the enemy can vaporize the entire army with AOEs as soon as the battle begins, they're probably losing most of their army even if they win - which is a problem when a handful of bane bows and some undead to put in front of them costs the necro so little.)

Then it comes to non-ritual troops bane fires are your go to ofc. And its not even about decay as much as the magic dmg dice glued to thier attacks (one must not forget about semi open ended dmg die) - it makes em cut thro any armour, ignore ethereal and there is no resist for that - only units with high hp and regen can fair better against it. Overwise - stuff dies pretty fast, so, and decay doesnt usually brings as much to the table. But ye, it does have strategic value, tho its mr resist easy on bows, so it doesnt work on everything

My faves...in no real particular order, very briefly.

I don't care how OP or not. I love the story and world building and the uniqueness of all the classes. They are all good fun to play. I've played all of them, some way more than others.

Illusionist - Once he gets going he's omnipresent. Hide guarded mirrors as portals and it's fun time! Clones and a Castle that can go to different planes also.

Voice of El - Actual world-changing terraforming goodness. Inquisitions and Crusades. Get ready to bug out when *hit hits the fan.

High Cultist - Crazy. Control the seas and the stars. Astrology is awesome for his lore. Starspawns and Horror assassins. Summon sea monsters. Doesn't get too much better than this.

Warlock - Possibly the best class to go planar exploring. Awesome units. Control the elements. Cloud Castles. So good. Spread Air and Cloud elementals across the land.

Enchanter - Really cool rituals. Hard nut to crack. Golems, golems, golems. He's an artificer so make Artefacts.

Witch - Swamp Hag. A bit like the Illusionist in the sense that she can use portals (swamp) to traverse the land. Solid class.

There are many others!

Here's mine. For what it's worth, I don't think power tier lists are particularly valuable in CoE5, as so many factors affect the game and each class can perform drastically differently even on the same Society depending on neighbours and other randomised factors.

That said, some have some seriously OP mechanics (like Illusionist being able to xerox new Level 3 combat Illusionists for 60 gems or whatever it is) and as such it's worth knowing about those.
