Master the longsword, the tank and support king | Conqueror's Blade
This is an update to my previous Longsword guide, it goes over the abilities, attributes, armor, runes, and how they fit into the current meta. Do note that I play exclusively LS for 1500+ hours and the data provided was collected during my personal ranked games on Frontier.
Here is the spreadsheet for the hero data:

      Armor gets better the more there is, if you just want defense it's the way to go. But if you want other atk attributes just go with any mix of hp and that attribute. That being said, Armor isn't too great with Wuwei around debuffing armor by 400... That is if you live in the first place either way. Best is not to take fights you can't win

    I’ve played since season 3 - 6, 10, and the current one, long sword is my main and is indeed very strong and easy to use, but I disagree on going full defense, I put my points in agility and strength and use the skill that hits 2 times and the third is a kick, that skill alone reduces troops HP 35% more or less. What do you think about this ?

    • @AlanApogee
      @AlanApogee 8 місяців тому

      Interesting, the question then becomes, is that setup better than other weapons or is it doing what only the LS can do? I wouldn't doubt you having your own fun but I can't say that's a good strat against MaA, Iron Reapers, or any blob of units if you're stuck in a long animation for DPS. Poleaxe might be a better selection, without the healing but with more CC and enemy DMG reduction (which helps with survival and supporting your units) But hey, you be you. Go take prowess and have fun with it.

    i use the same skills, but on full health with roughly 45k lifepoints. so full armor outweighs the bigger health pool? a long time ago, it was said, that after about roughly 900 armor, it is not worth increasing, as the dmg reduction per armor point decreases. my thought: the dmg i take, has to be 50% higher in comparison to your 30k lifepoints (on full armor) in order to get me killed faster. very curious to know if this is the case. maybe you have some stats or a vid for me? would be nice to see content about that. haven't reskilled to full armor for a while now, so i will have to give it a try again. anyways, nice vid with quality content and explanation!

    • @AlanApogee
      @AlanApogee 10 місяців тому

      A simple example using 100 attribute points: 40k hp is 33% more than 30k, 1200 armor is 43% better than 900 armor against 1600 AP (Avg pen of T4 melee units). So yes, full armor is much better than armor IF you avoid muskets and artillery which have high AP, or ignore armor. The old saying is a rumor that has been going on for far too long even though the opposite is true. (KnightStalker during his last LS guide made the mistake too)
