 wait a second... is this a typo, I knew I wasn’t being fooled. I am a bit confused, does this item actually have a 100% buff to defense, is it actually 10%, is it identically to the talent sentry. I am very confused with regards to this item. |

I am very confused with regards to this item. I think it is absolutely identical to the talent, as in case of the Crown. Don't think, though, that it is worth to buy it. The chance is low and a simple scale Armor is perfectly fine if we want to increase defence of a general. Crown and Golden spear - these are two good, relatively easy affordable items. Especially the first one. |

Correction: the four horsemen of the apocalypse are now Surena, Wei, Sertorius, and Sextus Pompey.

Nice profile description. The only archer general worse than Surena is Tigrannes II and Drusus (jk lmao) |

I cant tell if you are joking or being serious with Sertorius. I must be missing some hidden mechanics with sentry, because that talent looks trash tier to me. 15% chance to increase defense, I assume double like the crappy item counterpart? On heavy infantry with both possible defense upgrades in tactics they have a base 18 defense. Sentry will on average trigger once every 6-7 engagements. Lets be generous and say every 6, thats an overall gain of 3 defense, less when on lower tier units. That is beyond laughable, he may as well not have a talent. What am I missing here that makes you think this talent is good, or comparable to Crassus crit? Formation is also trash tier, may as well only have 3 skills, but he does have it, and it is calculated into his cost. If you try to defend this skill, then I will know for sure you are joking lol. As for intercept, it does not pair well with siege like tunnel does for city cracking. Going after archers because of intercept negates the damage potential from counterattack when they inevitably attack you the following turn. So no synergy there either. So overall what do we have? Sertorius is 98 medals cheaper, but he's 1 rank lower, meaning less damage bonus as well as only stacking up to 4 units instead of 5. I don't know the exact cost but general to marshall is 380, so I will assume legatus to general is more than 98. Siege is also 2 levels lower, so factor that cost into a comparison, and of course he has 3 levels of a worthless skill as part of his cost. That leaves us with a general who is more expensive to reach the same basic damage bonuses, while not being as good a city cracker, has less mobility, less crit chance....all in exchange for doing more damage to archers.... My point in this long winded rant, is that honestly I don't believe you actually have this guy on your team lol. I think you are either joking around for fun, or just like arguing with people. In fact I refuse to believe anyone is using this guy unless I see photos for proof  . No really, if anyone uses this guy I want to see pics lol. And if someone does have him do you know what the cost is from legatus to general? If the trait is garbage like everyone says, then sertorius is meh tier (like a c tier). I just did not realize it was that bad. I just honestly accepted that it was honestly pretty good. As for sertorius, you are right. I wouldn’t purchase him any time soon. If that talent is really as bad as everyone says it is, then sertorius is just a slower and weaker version of crassus, who happens to have intercept. Its just the description of the trait is very vague. Good discovery everyone. Sentry is rather good, if you consider a powerful unit. 15% to double defense is essentially an average defense hike of 15% defense (same as commander skills). Therefore his calculations are correct on his unit. However, I have often had units with defenses much higher than that. Siege is Overpowered, Counterattack is excellent on infantry, as is intercept. Formation is not good, but not a trash heap either. |

We use Mith VI, and he is an Archer with no speed. |
