Strongest faction

[Wings of Liberty]

I played some Order, Wild and Horde.

Horde has an amazing early game I would say with all the Goblins, leaping stuff, auto upgrade after battle and recruiting 3-4 every day with hero for free.

Wild just shoots about everything down, without losing almost nothing, while you cast the flanking wild creatures to moe up the enemy from behind.

Order is okay in early but as soon you have the 2headed-mutant-guys who turns dead cannonfodder into more bodies you can quite overwhelm as much as anything + Paladins and Idol - barely anything dies and if it does it comes potentially back very quickly.

Didn't play to much of the other factions so far. Only 1 game with the dwarves, wich fell a little bit underwhelming and I didn't finish it. And 1 as Pillar wich were "okay".

u should playing arcane, a little bit tough at the beginning, but nothing can beat you when you have a decent stats

[RunesBloodyRunes]

the devil faction is also insane with its portal. won fights on nearly impossible really easily because of that

Pillar is probably the most broken in the sense it's several OP units (nerfs are inbound though). Arcane is also very good. Trying Pyre now but it seems on par with Arcane.

[Livy]

Pyre felt quite weak the first few turns until you get the portal running to tank for you.

[Holyvision]

Pillar and Arcane are the most cheese from what I've played with so far.

Pyre and Arcane are the two broken faction.

Arcane are good for huge map and slow pace game where you can just build up your economy and start spamming those ore into hero stats. They are slower at the beginning (compare to Pyre）but eventually will out growth Pyre in a long run.

Pyre on the other hand is the best faction hand down in most map, they have insane fast early game snow ball and will destroy everyone else in early-mid game with their inflated atk/def hero from devouring/hellgate/bloodwrapping etc.

Arcane are more fun to play for ppl that enjoy huge map, long game especially in terms of PvE (vs AI). On the other hand, Pyre are stupidly OP in PvP therefore it was banned most of the time in PvP tournament.

If Arcane and Pyre were both banned (PvP wise), then Enclave will be the next best choice.

Enclave feels really strong to me and I feel like I never see people mention it. Hunting is an interesting skill and with some levels nets you a *ridiculous* number of artifacts that can be traded into a special building for very strong Hydra units.

Of course, from game to game things may be very different. Pyre felt weak to me but others say its OP... so who really knows lol. All I know is Decay is definitely *not* the strongest lmao. (still great with enough levels into malediction and some buff spells!)

Tried most factions so far. Decay definitively felt like the hardest. Maybe because it was my first time trying it. And it's so unique compared to all the other factions, so i was not sure how to recuperate my bleeding troops without Infirmary. Eventually lost that game on hardcore from AI sending wave after wave of Bodyguards hero at my main base and eventually cracking trough.

Malediction is really good on a Decay spell hero, it just requires you to cast some kind of buff/debuff on units in order to make them have a chance to reraise. With a few pts in it and some spells that hit a LOT of targets, you easily make more units every fight than you lose... it's pretty amazing once it starts going lol

Malediction/devour/blight (add bodyguard for secondary hero).

Decay is one of the top faction in fact any faction with devour and some kind of creatures generating ability are fairly decent (except Arcane which is in a league of it's own alone with pyre)
