I pretty much agree. Only thing I had different for bomma not as good as fungus and bomma was dropped down to honourable mention and I had deeproot in #4. I think a lot of the power of star players is filling gaps for weaknesses. Rightly so Griff at the top because he can score and blitz like a monster. Deeproot offers some searious LoS dominance with ST 7 and Block, slow yes but completely counters a bash team and that can be a big deal for teams with lack of LoS presence or a crap/ MNG'ed big guy.
Agree with Griff being number 1. I’ve used Hakflem with Goblins and he is good, very good, but he can die if your opponent gets hold of him. Or… as in my case, an over enthusiastic Fanatic with a risk taking head coach accidentally splatters him with his ball and chain (as he lies on the floor having survived an opponent hitting him down). That wouldn’t happen to a Griff… he wouldn’t be seen dead playing for Goblins. Hakflem was. Seen dead. I think Griff might have the right idea. 😆
I play halflings and have used Griff in 5 of my 7 games. He’s scored 9 TD’s in that span, and some of the scores have been insane lol. I agree he’s number one!
Thanks Branden! We’re not sure… “May” is all we know haha! But we’ll be right on it when it drops!! 💪💪 Haha - definitely give these 5 a try! 😁 they’re powerful and also super fun!!
Can't disagree with Griff being no1. He just brings everything to the table . I think it's the combo of St 4, blodge, adg 2+ and mv 10 which means he can fill and role.
I'd love a Theory Thursday on what to do against the really tough star players! I've played against Morg before and hated it so very, very much , and we have a halfling player in our current league who has the griff model (hasn't used it yet, though, thank god). Hakflem and goblins you just hunt down and squish, but what the hell do you do against those two?
Ben, I wanted your opinion on Kari Coldsteel, because she is also a kind of Star Player. And for 50k, she can quickly be profitable, especially for a team like the Norse.
Personaly I would have prefered a top 3 for each category. Top 3 Badlands brawl, top 3 old world alliance, top 3 elven kingdom league and so on A top five list feels a little bit useless, if not everyone could use it. In my mind people want to know, which are their prefered options to take for their Situation and not whats better in general. At least this is my opinion.
@@trashfire9641 I said 3 and not 5 and in First view I can hell at least 4 starplayer choices, which plays for any. So everybody could get a helpfull list. (Morg n torg, Akhorne, Helmut, Grak&Crumbleberry) there is at least enough to build a top 3 for everybody without including any individual Star and with just 1 star per league we would have enough for a top 5. This concept works.
@@berry8932 My point still stands completely. Since plenty of regions don't have access to 5 or much more than 5 star players, any top list for those regions is kind of pointless. I'm just trying to express that there are some regions that are badly hurting for some more star players.
Someone else brought this to my attention as I never really bothered to figure it all out. Star players, at least some of them, are WAY underpriced for what they bring to the table. I haven't bothered to figure it all out and verify his findings yet, but seemed weird that they would be cheaper than a standard player with the same skills. Not figuring in the special ability and the loner trait I would imagine. I've never liked star players for league. They take away from my team progression. Tournaments they are great if you can add them.
Great video as always! Griff "I Win" Oberwald definitely deserves number 1 and cool to hear your logic about Fungus being top 5. Pretty sound. Would you consider top 5 WORST star players? I think that would be pretty fun.
Certainly can't disagree with your top 3. Especially Griff at #1. He's one of the most dominant players you can induce. Him and Morg. But I find Morg easier to deal with, oddly enough. Both are next level dominant, but Griff is just out of this world in the hands of a capable coach...
Last year in a league game vs the reigning team Griff single-handedly won me the game without even touching the ball or injuring anyone. Just St4, Blodge and Fend makes him so criminally irritating when he ist between the enemy team and a sideline hogging ball carrier. Also we took a shot every time someone said Griff Oberwald which was a lot even when we tried not to after too many drinks.
definitely tougher to answer. I'd say Gretchen is pretty bad and Varag is just sub-par to Morg. Twins are way too expensive but if you can get them they do a good job. Just for the price you might be better off with Roxana idk. Of course Barik Farblast needs Cannoneer instead of Strong arm to reach bis potential, huge design flaw to give him a useless skill which makes him the worst atm imo.
YOU want to know WHY GRIFF Is NO#1 is you cannot Make a Standard Human Blocker into Griff Because GRIFF has 7 that right 7 upgrades 3 Stat upgrades and 4 Skills. ANd a Built in RR for HIM...!!!!!!!... SImple as that. That why some TOurny has BAN the Top 3 or make them cost just a little extra because they are so GOOD. You can kinda make a Hak and Morg is the toury lets you give more than two Skills or Stat upgrades. But Griff is Just that good...... Thank Goodness they Took LEap from him and gave him Fend. On 4 and 5 It can go many ways it depends on your style of Play your Team. I like Akhorne at #5 my Self for 80k you get a Little MOnster that can go after any Ball carrier or player... he moves 7. Granted I give you FUngus is good for 80k or 130k if you use a bribe also His Especial Power never runs out and getting to RR his Directing is great. On Bommber I just afraid of rolling double 1 and killing myself or teammates.
*I know it's not Friday... 🤣🤣🤣
Thank god for that, I was worried I should be at work

Good video. What date is the Faq coming out? I'm a new player that tends to suck but trying new teams and thinking about picking up some star players.
Thanks Branden! We’re not sure… “May” is all we know haha! But we’ll be right on it when it drops!! 💪💪
Haha - definitely give these 5 a try! 😁 they’re powerful and also super fun!!
The last one was on the 31st of the month so it's quite possible this might be a last day release too.

Well Ivar can take out Griff he = Str and has Tackle too. For Morg it just feed the beast.
@@robertlove4079 I tried doing that with morg but didn't have enough food!

Good job ! I'm surprise to not see Ivar in this list. It's a good character. You'd put it on top how much ?
So, when selecting a Star Player for my Necromantic team Wilhelm was out of stock and so I decided to pick up Gretchen.... 😑
Brutefun needs a wilhelm model. Dude has an eye for aesthetics and then i could finally get one
Try using Greebo or Punga models as substitute for Wilhelm model. Both have beautiful werewolf models.
Personaly I would have prefered a top 3 for each category.
Top 3 Badlands brawl, top 3 old world alliance, top 3 elven kingdom league and so on

Right, but some of those regions don't even have access to 5 star players. 😆
It’s a more practical list. I really like this idea

I love the gobbo star players, just their tendency to get sent off can get slightly frustrating.

Would you consider top 5 WORST star players? I think that would be pretty fun.
Brave to do this as a "May update" when the FAQ hasn't released yet :P
Oberwald isn't only a top notch scorer. With ST4 blodge and fend, he's a great blocker too on defence. Thanks for the video.
Certainly can't disagree with your top 3. Especially Griff at #1. He's one of the most dominant players you can induce. Him and Morg. But I find Morg easier to deal with, oddly enough. Both are next level dominant, but Griff is just out of this world in the hands of a capable coach...
Played against Morg, puked on him 3 times with my troll. Got 10 for the armor roll all three times. Crazy, how does Morg survive that deluge of puke?!

A pity Ivar didn’t make the list. Would have been nice to see something new dominating the game
Bommer has Accuracy but not Cannoneer. He's 2+/3+/5+/6+. Otherwise great!
Top five worst?
Excited for that video haha

Such a shame Morg and Hakflem are the worst official models in the entire game.
