Also it should be said that alarielle can start spamming doomstacks as soon as a settlement is up on level 3 cause of her special sisters building
She also can grow way faster than other high elves because the handmaidens get +growth and she can get more quicker so she can get tier 5s faster than the other lords
Title could been top starting locations for high elves seems like 90% of what you based rankings off of lol
*says imrik isn't that great*
*entire Warhammer community*: "Its time to WAGGHHHHHHHH"
Prince imrik should have been highter with him he takes out 2 big players at the start of the game (darkblade and rat ninja).on top of mashing everything around him with out anything bad happening the dragon add such a high power boost if he started closer to other allys besides last defenders and the dwarfs he would be overpowered in a heartbeat I would say at least 3rd would be ok cuz wizard and arrow is in a hell hole at the start and no power spikes to take them to be stronger
He has a big downside for his economy. Usually Elves has a good early economy due to access for trading goods. Imrik can't trade with any major faction before he gets a port. And a closest port is under control of dwarfs or orks. No, under control of leader of their factions, so if you start war with one of them you literally start a war with all their faction.
Nagaryth has to be number 1. Stalking and Underway are so overpowered, especially if combined with Influence mechanic and the high elves economy
Yup. Stalking and underway stance? And early-mid game shadow warrior spam dominates
You should do beastmen last so hopefully they get updated before you do them
Great content man!
I think Alarielle is #1 simply because she has access to treemen. Where Phoenix guard or swordmasters fail the treemen will succeed
I will say this much, high elves never need to hold much of a line. Early game you have spearmen, late game you have .... Whatever. All you need to have is something in front for your archers or sisters to shred the army. Hell sea guards with shield can be effective as you can start them off as ranged then toggle them to melee. With a good back line of ranged you pretty much trim down most of the enemy front line before they get with range.
You said at the beginning of the video that you are ranking the lords mainly based on campaign. If so, then the faction effects become the key measure rather than the individual battle strength of the lord or what they bring to their individual armies as you can get all of those benefits via confederation. In my opinion this puts Alith Anar as number 1 due to his faction effects especially his ambush stance which is available to all of his armies, with the high elf roster it is just so powerful. Alarielle is number 2 for her faction effects in my opinion. Imrik, I agree with you, number 6, probably the single most powerful lord in the current game if built right with the right army, but you can get access to him via confederation without his special dragons of course but that barely makes a difference to his battle power and his faction effects are very weak compared to the other lord. All the high elf lords are top tier though compared to some other factions so being 6th as high elves is not that bad :)
I agree Alith Anar should be number 1. His ambush on attack is awesome, and one ability that is overpowered is his assassins. If you play on normal choas invasion you can end the entire invasion with one assassin. If you kill archaon the turn he spawns than the entire choas army disappears. And if you're on higher difficulties just bring more assassins for the other choas lords. It's crazy how strong Alith Anar is
Is this the first of the series? Looking forward to more
Honesty sense legends vids are all from like a year ago and it wasn’t even all of them sadly
Can't wait for Norsca!
Gonna be tough stretching that one to 10 mins :D
New series = more content = one happy boi
I think you really underated Nagarythe as a faction. Their faction bonuses to global recruitment and and campaign movement are some of the best among the high elfs, and the stances are a complete gamechanger. Stalk is op as fuck and he gets a better underway in a race that doesnt have access to the underway. Alith isnt the best of the LL, but he is absolutily nescessary for his missile strength bonus factionwide, and you are probably going to get most of the other LLs anyway
Commenting for the algorithm
I like vampire counts
Same. Like magic in this game and wind of death is too cool not to us the shit out of lol
*Sees your name and pfp* I never would've thought that mate xD
Well, sure. But, have you considered dragons? Dragons are best high elf.
Dragons are expensive.
@@CrazyYurie so are women. Doesnt stop me, either.
@@CrazyYurie With Imirk i literally had 108% discount on upkeep, the most cheap and powerful army possible
Nagarythe is the only high elf faction that can Raid! This is a really really really big deal for them and the hamstrung economy make sense if you take advantage of this trait.
With Alith anar, max out his move speed skills, stick a banner of swiftness on him and he becomes faster on foot then some cav. Its bonkers
Thx for this really good vid. I play high elves a lot , love them, and totally agree with your ranking. Can you do the same for the Empire pls.
The only good elf is a dead elf
Gonna be working through them all in the next few weeks!
@@ColonelDamneders sweeet
Imo empire is Franz, markus, volkmar then gelt. I can get into greater detail, but for the most part i think its pretty self explanitory.
Too much emphasis on starting location imho. While Imrik's start is a problem it's a non-issue for Eltharion (who can just suicide back to base) and the first thing I do with Teclis is migrate to the Tower of Hoeth. Just say no to South America. Eltharion in particular is a monster with his Mistwalkers and chokey mechanic... at least as good as Tyrion and Alarielle. Alith Anar can also just rtb but he should be 6th on account of being boring.
imrik in 6th place his like 80% upkeep dragons need to have a word also alith anar way better imo in vortex there is more land there to conquer
I love the elves! Thanks for the guide 😁
"surrounded by all of his enemies" ---> "Surrounded by a never ending supply of gold to jump start your economy (especially on higher difficulty when they just keep sending easy kills for you to ambush)" Ftfy
You should reword this video title to ranking the high elf legendary lords based on starting position...
Imrik last? Thats crazy
Play it on legendary, and there is only one way to survive past turn 30. Rush clan eshin before he takes his region. Otherwise, you get rushed with endless waves of eshin before mors, hag grief or grimgor finishes you off.
@@lk5388 that doesn't make him the worst. That makes his campaign the hardest. None of the others could succeed from that start. He can.
Yeah, no. Imrik in last place is ridiculous. Yes, he has the toughest start, but his start also makes him super strong super quickly. Having to fight hordes of Skaven means he levels up quickly to unlock Minaithnir and his powerful skills that reduce fire resistance map-wide. If (or rather 'when') he defeats Snikch even once, he gains Stalk - even on his 6-story-tall dragon! Defeating the unique dragons (especially Ymwrath the Eternal) buffs him up massivel, too. Fully maxed out Imrik is a literal one-man army capable of defeating whole stacks on his own. Throw in a life and an incendiary fire mage on sun dragon, and nothing can stand against him. And if you give him a stack of Star Dragons, it just gets ridiculous (at a very decent upkeep cost considering its power).
As much as it pains me to say, Eltharion is clearly the worst (though still great) High Elf LL. He just doesn't bring enough to the table to make up for the fact that he's neither a top tier melee fighter nor a top tier caster. The best thing about him is his ammo refill skill, but other than that, he's nothing special.
Imrik is a very strong lord, but i think in me he just gets shafted huge, especially in legendary. The thing about imrik is you will not have access to all his good stuff if u can't take out eshin before turn 20. He is has everything except a good starting position.
If clan eshin completes his domination of his region, Its game over. He will send 4 armies to constantly harass you from doing anything but defend. You may fight off scores of clan rat armies, you will level up huge, you may even get a dragon and your legendary mount, but you will be tied up and not expand. Eventually, grimgore, malus or doomclaw will kick over what is left of your army.
Imrik's campaign is tough on legendary on the first 30 turns. If you can get out, you can survive. But very often things can go wrong even if you sack clan eshin early.
Eltharion as a LL is meh, but his faction is probably the best given his special units and the mists of Ladrielle allowing you to recruit super fast.
@@manuelcorvobelda1831 actually eltharion is a very good LL in game, just maybe the weakest among the 6 high elf lords. His real problem is that teclis exist and is probably one of the best lords in the game. And unlike imrik, he starts out in a much better position than imrik's battle arena of doom, and he has access to a trade route that imrik will only get to around mid game.
Imrik has to be extremely lucky to even get his diplomacy options avalible by turn 50. Your only chances of allies are the karak and last defender, both of which will just as likely turn on you if they don't get buried by grimgor or clan mors. If hag grief connected to the man ocean like it should, his starting position will definately be less of a problem. I would say of the 6 legendary lords, 2 of the three who start away from lotherien are probably the strongest (alarielle,teclis, imrik).
I will be honest ,With high elves public order is a non issue once you start confederating ,only two I would consider are imirk and teclis but Tyrion and co can get QUITE a lot of PO by unique items and skills
Etharion you can choose between the two as well ,where you become similar to tyrion
So top two are between the warden & the queen for me
It's good although It's More proper low dark elves ranking to be close to alith anar rather than the opposite.
Loved the whole video, until the end.. where is the outro song?😢
Trying to fit the outro into the 20 seconds for the endscreen. It is sad times indeed
I always build walls in Gronti Mignol and leave the Badlands until later, disbanding any unit I don´t want in Eltharion´s army. Then he is basically another LL starting in Ulthuan.
Eltharion's silly ability of unlimited ammo wasn't mentioned which completely makes sieges a joke.
Alarielle isn't exactly a humble spellcaster. Lore of Life is bonkers. Dwellers is cheap when not overcast and Earthblood + Treemen is dumb.
Dr Suess is not a Goose.
Imrik has got to have the most difficult star in the game period.
Nice vid, but some people on this platform have already done this ranking with this faction.
Maybe you can try to review other factions that other channels haven't ranked?
Didn’t realise they had a patent 😱
@@ColonelDamneders Not trying to say that you can't do this sort of content. Just saying that if you are, you should try and package or structure the content differently.
For example, you could interchange the "lord" in the title to faction to better represent what this video is about, because on first impressions, it really does look exactly like Legends vid.
Sorry if i sounded like my original comment was an insult, but I'm just trying to offer some advice.
@@deathwind4914 It's nice having different perspectives on the same matter. Maybe we should stop posting comments on UA-cam, since people have already done it? What about no more new manufacturers of already existing products? Also, all other factions have been ranked already, many times over, by different channels.
4:10 he needs new armor
I'm a bit disappointed that you did not Mention Tyrion's Duel Potential. His stats are possibly the highest in the game allowing him to 1v1 pretty much anyone or anything, and with the Heart of Avelorn it makes him one of the only lords who could 1v1 someone like Malus who is by-non the strongest Duelist in the game. But ya, Alarielle is still stupid good.
Um, or Imrik. Imrik will kill any other LL in the game 1v1 and its not even a close contest.
So I’m new to Warcraft total war can all the high elves get dragons or just the dragon lord dude and if so how do I go about it
Not every Legendary Lord can ride a dragon, but most of the High Elf Wizards can ride them, the dragons are recruitable later.
Warcraft?? This is not warcraft this is total war warhammer. All High elfs got dragons but imrik got more of em.
Something more fashionable
High Elves + Stalk = Easy Game
Algoriiiithmmmm
I must stringently disagree. Imrik should be first. Not just on this list but overall. First off all, an easy campaign is not remotely indicative of a lords quality. More importantly however, there is no legendary lord in the game that can defeat Imrik in battle. Once he gets Minaithnir and some of his special dragons, and has gear, he is a monster. Once he hits lvl 30 he is an unstoppable god of battle who can literally destroy armies himself.
Have you ever had any crashes with him ? I tried playing him and every manual battle it crashes my game.
Alarielle is definitely better than Alith Anar on the battlefield
Imrik is amazing combatant and you overblow his starting location difficulty. The first small settlement you get is very hard to take once you get it to tier 3, so you have 2 settlements near eachother, forming a wall. Toughest thing he ahs to face is the swamp between Pigbarter and Fortress of Voraag. However, when it comes to just battles he has to face, nothing easier. You start with dragon princes, dragon and fire mage while going vs skaven. Means you have absolutely everything you need to demolish skaven completly. After sniktch is dead you just do whatever you want cause Imrik is jsut this strong...
Alith Anar grabs number 1 spot very easily quite honestly and its all because of one mechanic and 1 skill. Skill i talk about is 2 points for 12% missle strength for all armies, which means its globas buff to Sisters Of Avelorn(and any other missle unit), which bar Waywatchers, are best freaking archers one can get. But then comes the mothership, fucking ambush baked into regular movement just like Skaven! Skaven have it because they need it, elves do not need it but get it with Alith Anar which allows them to obliterate ANY army without even trying. It is single most powerfull mechanic in the game.
My toughest thing as Imrik is playing. Every manual battle I try with him regardless of enemy it crashes. Nothing I do works it's quite annoying. Every other lord works fine.
Its obvious who the best lord is...
Wrong. Imrik is the best lord, without question. Why, you may ask?
dregon
Where is teclis?
Try 5:27 for starters
very misleading title
you basicly rank Lords+Faction+Location
some got "the best" starting location while some are "the best" lord
A more accurate title should be something like
"Rating the High Elf Factions including Difficulty and Lords"
because as it is now your rating is way too confusing and not very helpful imo
an example:
Altih Anar
As a LORD compared to the other 5 you could put him even at 6th place
His starting position compared to the others is better than Imriks and worse than the others except if you fight for Gronti Mingol as Eltharion, so 5th place or 4th place
His Faction is without a doubt the most versatile of the bunch because of the Shadow Realm which makes traveling around the map much easier and an offensive ambush gives you such an big advantage in so many situations it can't be emphasized enough plus that 100% kill a lord of your choice feature is absolutely unique and helpful, so easy 2nd place depending on your preferences but clear 1st place (imo) once you reach the mid/end game
The True list is:
1. Alarielle
2. Nagarythe
3. Eatine
4. Yvresse
5. Order of loremasters
6. Imrik
