Hey everyone, the meta shifts fast, and if you'd like to be kept up-to-date with the best current builds, keep an eye out for my "Builds of the Week" series where every Monday I release the week's Top 5 builds! You can find the playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLmNkzAoJBnSsabUiju6coElg2cfZqj1_o.html
06:57 if this guy wins the round (which he does), it’s fine that he has 29 gold. The +1 gold from winning will still be factored into calculating interest, which means it’s the same thing as having 30. This move is often called “X9” by high level players, and even though the extra gold from winning has been changed to only be granted at the beginning of the next round, X9 still works.
I took a pause from playing from a while. And boy a lot has changed. Thanks for explaning the current mechanics, you really catch your viewers to speed quite well.
When you are at the 9's, 9, 19, 29, and you win that would you will get a extra point of interest as the victory gold will count towards your pre fight gold
I have been subbed just for a while. And this is my first comment. But, I just wanted to say that you are actually really great at explaining this game and delivering top builds often. I really hope your channel explodes and you get the attention you are actually worth. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you for all the great content and keep up the good work. PS. Are you streaming as well? Twitch? I think you would do great because of your ability to talk about the game so great while playing!
I appreciate this comment so much, thank you! This really made my day. Thank you so much for your well wishes, and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well! I'm not currently streaming, simply because my work/life schedule doesn't really leave much room for it. It's something I'm interested in doing here and there for fun, but as of right now it isn't something I can do regularly :(
Busy Man :) I know how it is. If you need any help at all regarding streaming I would be happy to help you out. Not a big streamer at all my self but have some knowledge :) I would watch you big time! Take care mate. If you are on twitch you can reach me out there. my channel is "perchbrain"
Break doesn’t remove alliance bonuses btw. They changed it a while ago, after the big update, When it became clear that Anessix was too OP with so many of her talents applying this effect.
great, accessible commentary man. i know some things have changed since this video but the general approach is still the same and that's what you communicate well in this video.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that you found the commentary helpful. You're right, a lot has changed but best available is still a viable strategy! Thank you for the wonderful comment :)
Hey man, I played a lot of Underlords in Beta and I'm just coming back to it as a side game. I really like your commentary over Swim, the only other guys I knew You're not arrogant despite being wise and imparting your knowledge. Definitely subbing and looking forward to watch your videos, your voice and style are very nice
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it! It means a lot to me that you like my style and enjoy my videos. Welcome to the channel!
very educational video. Thanks for explaining everything and sharing your thoughts on picks, items, etc. I only played League Auto Chess until now and was crushed at my first few games of Underlords. I learned alot from your video. cheers mate
You're very welcome, I'm glad you found the video helpful! This coming Tuesday, Underlords comes out of Beta and season one launches, so you're coming in at the perfect time!
Really great game-play overall! 26:10 should have leveled before the round was over to get a higher tier shop refresh. I would have kept the Lycan over legion commander for more offense and completing the hunter alliance, way too late to get LC started on her kills. I really enjoyed the random lich pickup because I normally would pass on tier 5 units if they didn't fit my alliance, but I like the idea it seems to work well! It hurt watching you sell the two terror-blades to then pick them up later. I think an earlier 3 star terror would be better than an earlier brawny since they're just meat shields for your dps late game.
Hey Alex I really like your content =) especially the quick best build of the weeks As for the unspent gold: I think it is better to keep the gold and not spend it on level until you can buy the whole level in one go, the reason for that is that if the rare event happens that you get for example 3 bristlebacks you would have to spend 12 gold in one go - now if you always spend your gold into half levels you might loose an intrest point there I agree that unspent gold does not benefit you - but investing in half a level does neither
Perhaps u might wanna move ur commentary pict to the right side of the video, so the stats of the units killed and everything else can be visible, it would be nice man, keep up the good work
lol believe it or not, I held a poll on a more recent video and the vote was for me to be on the left, but SMALLER so that you can see the unit info better. Let me know if it looks better in my newer stuff :)
alex please make a complete guide series for this game which includes alliance combos hero synergies items(specifically what works how for which hero) along with underlords now i m a newbie so if u think something is more important add it too alex and on top of all this love your videos
I’ve been playing for a week and I’ve only played bot matches. I don’t feel super comfortable with the time management yet, so I’m not playing against real people yet. Maybe I’ll try this week :)
You most certainly should! At the end of the day, as long as you're having fun, it doesn't matter! Also keep in mind that this guide is pretty old, so take a look at some of my newer stuff to help you :)
@@AlexanderCoccia Yeah Ive been watching a ton of your videos. I cant believe you commented on a video this old thats pretty cool. I think it was interesting to see the differences between the old and current
First off, Boss 3 is good! You're above average, so take some pride in that at the very least! As for what you're doing wrong, it's hard to say without seeing your gameplay, right? I mean, we can see all the silly stuff I do wrong in these videos I post lol :D Usually the end of the game has a runaway effect on those that might have not managed their economy as well as their competition. I generally like to econ to 30gold and then level and reroll in response to the field and my health. You can't do that if you're going the meta build, though, like scrappies, because you have to secure those units first. At the end of the day, you're doing well, try not to get discouraged :)
@@AlexanderCoccia My composition simply sucks then :P As for the runway effect, I am always the victim. Also I am a huge fan of keeping 30 gold for max interest but my mid to late game is where I start to fall . RNG hates me Also thanks for this great video, didnt try much 4- brawnies after the update . This makes me wanna try it out sometime
Talking about RNG... that's why I stuck with Brawny. I had no intention of going brownies until I was literally gifted them early at each point in the game. I couldn't say no lol. Good luck in your matches, hopefully we can figure out a way to get you out of your slump :)
i just dont know enough about the game; so that 30 seconds of pre combat time goes by so fast- because i have to read every single description. so many times im trying to re-position my heros and its an item round, and i accidentally pick an item that i probably wouldnt have wanted when i release click my mouse to let the hero go the item pops up and accepts my input. other than that my early, and mid game is so good. but i fall apart late because there is too much too pay attention to at the same time! i dont know enough about alliances to know who to sub out on the fly! and ill also get cucked trying to threestar a hero!
Hey there! Thanks for the wonderful comments! And yes, things have changed a lot! What I would suggest is that you take a look at my "Builds of the Week" guides I post every single week. They give you builds and compositions that's I've tested to work in the meta, and they offer suggested items and a basic formation for positioning. I think they'll help you a lot :)
You should have add your two star axe instead of keeping 1 star ogre with 3 brutes. Racking up kills for brawny alliance and also how many times should you forget your TB?
Lol if you're stuck, try going 4-trolls with good stuff to start climbing out. Otherwise, try out the Warlock and brute build I highlighted in my builds of the week :)

Just Subscribed...keep up that good work man👌
Thank you! And welcome to the channel :)
Can you do a guide on knockout as well ?
Absolutely! I had been working on one before the big patch. I was just waiting for things to stabilize a bit :)

Is it true that when someone contests my build, my rng chance will be lower?
