I appreciate the nod to the Calgar lore in your script. Not many people realize that Marneus Calgar isn’t his birth name, but rather the name he took to honour his fallen friend when he joined the Ultramarines.
Bro Burchard is def. 1 of my top 10, he's such a nice, compact tank. He walks slowly, but can take a hit, in fact many hits, packs a mean punch himself and when he shoots he hits up to 3 targets and even if they survive, they get suppressed. The only thing that's holding him back is that Ragnar's Howl doesn't work on him, but all the others do. I'd argue that he's a crucial part of the Bella Ball, but I can't, since I never pulled her and was stupid enough to pass on her in her initial offer. He still works well with Marneus, Incisus and Bellator.
I’m a newer player (4 months in) and a very light spender. Sadly I’ve decided to not beat his Campaign yet bc I don’t want him to my Req Pool yet. I’m waiting for the Req Rework and then I’ll do all of my 10 summon. After that I NEED to unlock him and start the grind. I’m up to 102 scrolls currently.
Great video! Time permitting, please make a video for the other factions. I really enjoy your character analyses. It’s a close call between Actus and Exitor for 10th imo. Bc of GR and GW. Throw Exitor with some weaker mech and have him pretty much solo the battle. Thanks again for making this video.
@@thebraveguy9808 He’s a beast. Park him adjacent to an Enemy (don’t attack yet). Then have your other mechs/Necrons hit the target and Exitor will use is Passive to attack the same target. Then attack with Exitor last. I encourage attacking last with Exitor bc if hit Crits and kills then it could break the chain of adjacent targets.
For some reason I keep coming back to this video and the xenos one. The disco and transitions are so darn good. Come on man, release the chaos one too!
Given I've still never pulled Calgar and only recently been able to start farming, I'd argue Burchard is without contest my top pick. Huge help sticking him in a corner to clear those annoying "Defeat 100 enemies with ranged", tank for Onslaught, swarm clear, great stationary melee, must have for Octarius, and Fragstorm (especially with a hits buff in tournament) is certainly the most satisfying skill for me!
I thought long and hard about Burchard and when it came down too it, calgar is just the better tank due to his additional damage to others. But hey, I fully agree Burchard is a good choice!
@@adammotteryeah, when farming for him, it's very much a "set it and forget it" situation. You decide how much you're going to farm for him, stick to that, and don't even put him in your mind until you have him unlocked. I don't have his elite mission yet, but I've been farming his 10 regular missions every morning, and didn't put any more thought into it the entire time. Now I'm 20 shards away from unlocking him, and it feels like no time has passed. It's great.
After several months I just finished gathering shards for Calgar. Now I'm working hon towards diamond to take into... Well everything I can fit him into!
DB and fellow subscribers: I'm having trouble with Vitruvius Alpha battles that require just characters with just one attack. The scarabs reproduce too fast for my one-hitters to kill them. Any suggestions about possible teams?
@@DBPreacherTacticus by spawning characters I guess you mean specifically maybe Archimatos and Abraxas. Do you think Incisus os a must in his one? If he is, and Pestillian is also needed, that would be four characters already. So I have some doubts about what you mean. 1) who would be a good 5th character? 2) Pestillian's passive works on ranged characters. But very likely both, or at least one of, Abraxas and Archimatos will be fighting in melee due to the sheer number of scarabs. So who is that extra ranged hit supposed to be helping? In the end it seems this battle in particular, unlike most on this event, cannot be properly won by strategy but by sheer force, with character levels being much more important than some other matches. And with my highest level character, Archimatos, being at silver 1 and all the other characters usable in the fight being at bronze levels (mostly bronze 1, I guess I'm luck already to have got up to level Alpha 7.
Love the videos! I agree with your picks. You could definitely make a case for RHO in the right squad, but I suppose you could make a case for Vindicta in the right squad too. 😆 And nobody is picking her.
That’s a great idea! I will be doing the top ten chaos and xenos, then will think about more lists. Btw the video was inspired the U.K. show Top of the Pops ^^
Love your work DB preacher my favourite tacticus content! Super useful information. Do we have plans for LRE prep for Kharn? really enjoyed the LRE videos.😊
Thank you for the kind words! Sadly we are not allowed to post content until just before it appears ingame. I will do a video for the second and third events though!
My favourite Imperial didn't make the cut. Sadly I don't have Calgar or Celestine, but on most situations I take her over any of the other characters (except Isabella if battle ball is needed). Her AOE is so pleasing to watch; burn em all, let the Emperor sort out the ashes.
My top 10 1. Ragnar for Guild raid (GR) 2. Calgar, overall powerhouse + buffer 3. Bellator, overall powerhouse + Spawns 4. Isabella for LRE/pvp 5. Tan Gida for LRE, PVP, GR (especially with rho/Actus) 6. Noble GR, TA 7. Exitor, GR, TA 8. Actus LRE, GR 9. Jaeger, TA 10. yarrick overall usefull
@@DBPreacherTacticus thx but too much credit dude XD. It very heavily depends on what your aiming for. My guild is 100% GR focused, theyd never include Isabella in the top10. They would rather include Rosi I guess. But I like LRE, PVP and GW as well and try to be rather flexible
I've been thinking about slow grinding Calgar shards for a while now and boy is it going to be a grind. I need 440. At 3 shards/day it will be 5 months! lol...see ya in October.
@@DBPreacherTacticus for the healer trait:Can heal a friendly unit's Health as its action. The amount of Health restored equals the Healer's Damage multiplied by the highest number of hits of any of their weapons.
@@DBPreacherTacticus nice I’ll get to work on arjac. I’ve got the rest of the ball to g1 already. Really want to get kharn when he drops so I’m focusing of things that will be good for his LE first
Agree with everything, but man i hate Celestine... Because i don't have her. Actually i don't have quite a number of epics and legendaries from the list even tho I'm lvl 50. But above all i want myself Jaeger. I just feel like he will be a very good addition to LRE teams. P.S.: the music was gorgeous)
Is Morvenn Vahl good then, I been playing for 2 weeks and just popped her and Asmodai from Reqs ... Was thinking she looked impressive but never seen any videos mention her...
Love your inclusion of Incisus. He gets far too much hate for basically just not being Isabella when any healer is at least fairly good to have in this game. I've always thought its pretty absurd seeing people discuss him as if he's one of the worst characters in the game.
@@DBPreacherTacticus mechanical teams are really generous with healing/defense buffs (I count 5 healers if you include makhotep) , and rho's ability to move into defeated enemy hex means he can create a trail of kills before he himself even moves. Once you get that down he's really powerful in LRE. But granted less so in TA.
@@haowenwang136Disagree. Use him to great effect in TA, especially buffed he's a killer. Team Revas, Aleph, Rho, Calandis and Noble. If you use Alephs active on an enemy with Rho next to the enemy he will attack 2x again. also aleph van heal him.
It’s a valid concern but as you grow into the game and especially for legendary events and character events, you will start to appreciate the little white wonder more and more and then ponder the insanity
I don't understand your perspective becuase your not coming from any one game mode but you also not weighting all the games mode so it seams like just your opinion on what yoy like not the actual facts. I would be more helpful if you kept the game mode consistent between each character. In reallity guild raids matter WAY more than any other mode just because of the rewards and you don't give that credit at all. I would prefer to see legendary event usefulness and pvp usefulness terms instead of just general because that is what your better at instead of overall.

The lore in this game is absolutely insane. I totally love it and try and drop in parts of it wherever I can!
Here for Tacticus, stayed for disco
Hahaha, it was top of the pops inspired (U.K. tv show)
Just been watching best of 1984 TOTPs ironically!
I love your incorporation of lore relevance with your description of each character! Keep it up!
Yeah ^^ thanks for noticing! Trying to bring in a little bit of flavour to make it interesting!
Great video love the format with the numbers and the TV at the start 👌

He was very close to being in there for sure. His only thing is that I felt bellator and Calgar are a bit better and so they take his spot!
All of my love for Jaegar! My favorite unit to fill out a ragnar TA comp. Locking down an enemy ability is HUGE in so many battles.
If I had a bit more resources spare then I would have him at d3 as well just because of how much fun he is!
@@DBPreacherTacticus agreed! He just looks so cool too :')

Congrats!! That’s a huge achievement and a great choice ❤️
I’m pretty sure Calgar’s active gets boasted by Ragnar as well so he can absolutely wipe the map if placed well
It certainly does! I hinted at that in the action but didn’t call it out!
I loved this format

Tan gida + sho work nicely.
Since tan summons and with the other activr he makes the adds do extra hits so suddenly 1 hit becomes multiple.
Definitely interesting. Thank you. Hopefully it will be followed by other factions.
Yes that’s the plan!
A bit sad Roswitha isn't on the list. Love her. One shoting enemy psykers is just awesome.
Yeah she just isn’t flexible enough. I do love her for fighting mortarion especially!
This video is a masterpiece of entertainment! Agree that my boy Calgar reigns supreme at the top.

6. Noble GR, TA
7. Exitor, GR, TA
8. Actus LRE, GR
9. Jaeger, TA

I know right! I had to slow grind Celestine and that was super painful!!
No clue what level you are but I would grind both nodes daily, if possible. I’m currently farming the Reg node and just unlocked his node.
Not a bad idea to farm his shards daily. But if you want to commit, then opening Indomitus mirror elite would also be beneficial
Calgar makes all the imperial élites so easy you must have it
If you use Isabella mainly for healing equip her with a gun
For the consistent healing vs spiked healing?
@@DBPreacherTacticus for the healer trait:Can heal a friendly unit's Health as its action. The amount of Health restored equals the Healer's Damage multiplied by the highest number of hits of any of their weapons.
Wish I had calgar to finish my battle ball, it’s currently yarrick holding his place but I need someone better for the later LE stages
The three alternatives are Burchard, arjac and bellator :)
@@DBPreacherTacticus nice I’ll get to work on arjac. I’ve got the rest of the ball to g1 already. Really want to get kharn when he drops so I’m focusing of things that will be good for his LE first
