great changes I love myrmiliones , and they needed some love for sure , sad that they have stackable defenses while dying ... so when they will die , they will have maxed stack .. that doesn't work so well ... We will see then .. its good or not
Charge with flail, then switch to swords and tiger step. Flails reduce their stats and have knocdown on charge. Swords have cc immunity with tiger step
@@SuperKitowiecdo flails not get cc immunity on tiger step? Because today i killed an poleaxe an maul and a unit of those marmelade shields on flails in tiger step. But maybe it was just cimbat doctrine hit 9 popping off once tiger step gave the attack sequence
@@SuperKitowiec oh good to know, i planned on only going flail with max attack speed veterancy to get full use of devastation and still procc combat doctrine. Maybe i have to reconsider now.
So let me make sure I'm understanding this video correctly. The secret to using the Devastation Doctrine correctly is to have Iron Reapers switch to flail WHILE they're in battle, not switch to flail BEFORE you charge them into battle?
@@Matthias-tc4ec It’s a special doctrine that was only available to excavate for a limited time, and it was meant for units that deal blunt damage as their main damage (Mace Sergeants, Tseregs, Iron Reapers, etc.). But really, Iron Reapers were the only unit that could truly use it effectively.

@@Alan-gt5lr Bro, thats not how you decide whether to nerf a unit or not ? how does it not sound illogical to you ? Wuwei totally wrecks most T4 units , you gonna ignore that compare it how it gets defeated by T5 units ? Wuwei stuns heroes, cc immune most of the time, heals , high dmg . I have easier time fighting or running from Lancelots even though they r stronger than wuwei
@@rikrishshrestha5421so then nerf all purple units that win matchups against more than one purple unit? Myrmillones have been super strong for a long time, should they be nerfed? Did you want maa nerfs? How about Onna Musha? I dare you to frontal cjarge your wuwei into enemies and perform well. Its not the unit that's broken, it's people using situational units in the right situations. If your team allows wuwei flank, they have to live with lots of losses.
You get it from infantry excavation. It's for blunt units only. It buffs their basic attack: every few s their basic knocks down enemy units and reduces their defences
this game need graphic rework and compesistion too all mostly EU players who lost their account during the transition... also voice chat. since no more total War Arena this game could be huge... but me personally... they didtn recover my 200+ lvl account... and starting from strach seems ah...
Did they just say that they won't/can't recover account? That sucks. Voice chat is already there, and they made some graphics buffs already so it's moving forward ;)
I quit a few season ago because yyd cav destroying the game, and the new season was another cringe cavalry. How is my beloved paladin now? Was MAA and cringe cav meta finally passed?
yyd got overshadowed by xhc which is getting some kind of nerf now. Not sure it it will change anything. Althought we are getting new t5 pikes which may counter them. Infantry is mostly maa, wuwei, ipg and isg

nice stoked for the companion buff! The formation right now is really annoying
Very informative. Thanks for the testing
Great video as always mate! Very useful 🎉
Awesome. Monastics buff next!

Ranged spam noobs will give them free stacks all the time. So they don't need to take that much melee damage to get the buffs active.
What Veterancy line did you use for Iron Reapers?
I don't remember tbh. Probably some mix of bottom + mid + top. But currently I'm running multihit from mid + heal + rest in top
Do you know when we will get the patch notes?
Usually it's on Wednesday, with the patch on Thursday
Great video thanks, what is the difference between Sword and Flail¿ which one you recommend to use¿
Charge with flail, then switch to swords and tiger step. Flails reduce their stats and have knocdown on charge. Swords have cc immunity with tiger step
@@SuperKitowiecdo flails not get cc immunity on tiger step? Because today i killed an poleaxe an maul and a unit of those marmelade shields on flails in tiger step. But maybe it was just cimbat doctrine hit 9 popping off once tiger step gave the attack sequence
@@hurstiwursti last time I checked it didn't. But you get cc immunity on charge and it lingers for few s afterwards
@@SuperKitowiec oh good to know, i planned on only going flail with max attack speed veterancy to get full use of devastation and still procc combat doctrine. Maybe i have to reconsider now.
@@hurstiwursti I don't see how it would be worth it. Devastation has pretyy lengthy cooldown so you would be better of switching back and forth
Thanks king
iron reapers took steroids
Is the buff live already?
So let me make sure I'm understanding this video correctly. The secret to using the Devastation Doctrine correctly is to have Iron Reapers switch to flail WHILE they're in battle, not switch to flail BEFORE you charge them into battle?
Nah, there is no secret. The flail switch is just an interesting side effect. You have to charge with flails anyways to get the bonuses.
@@SuperKitowiec Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification.
what is the devastation doctrine ?
@@Matthias-tc4ec It’s a special doctrine that was only available to excavate for a limited time, and it was meant for units that deal blunt damage as their main damage (Mace Sergeants, Tseregs, Iron Reapers, etc.). But really, Iron Reapers were the only unit that could truly use it effectively.

You can get it from infantry excavation spot
Yup, I’m taking a long break along with friends till this game gets head out of asses
REAPER META IS BAAAACKKK
IT'S HARVEST TIME
What vet line for your iron reapers?
I have bot without the last node, stun from mid, rest in top.
finally this mtfk op cav getting some nerf
How to kill iron reapers?
I see them just dying in blobs. I guess combination of queen knights, silahdars, phalanax, etc works fine against them
Wuwei nerf when?
SoonTM
They might not get the nerf. They are worse in gold meta because queen's absolutely destroyed them.
