Very good guide, You explain perfect how to counter he Physical Damage Commanders!

[@TheHJWgaming]

Thanks mate, and thank you for the grima screenshots, they were exactly what I was looking for 🤙

[@I_Am_Bowi]

Isildur also has ring of terror and while monostacks are ‘immune’ to madness, they still get messed up by enfeeble

[@TheHJWgaming]

It can help, but that’s 22 points to get the bonus damage. Plus dwalin for example has the cleanse in his bottom r0 so a good one will likely win

[@I_Am_Bowi]

@@TheHJWgaming My isildur is r17 with 15 in ringbearers, 7 ring of terror, 15 great king, 7 enfeeble, 2 king of all dunedain, 1 dunedain bloodline, 15 last alliance, 7 free peoples, 1 coalition

[@kylesimpson2844]

Just a question about the Keepers. The description says 'when they only have one unit type'.
Does this mean only one unit in the army (monostack)? Or if they are running 3 melee units that's only one unit type?

[@TheHJWgaming]

Monostack. However, if you consider a standard build where the commander has a stack and then 1 command of archers, the archers are dead by round 2 so the keepers will then start outputting +50% once the remaining army is monostack

[@scrillz1158]

Don’t flying units damage reduction work against melee units only?

[@TheHJWgaming]

Ahh damn it, I think you are correct. Thank you for pointing that out.

[@leagueplays2100]

3:00 wait what? How does how many troops you have left effect commander damage? Never heard that before

[@TheHJWgaming]

The new red book has a part which covers this in early seasons. Plus read logs, it’s why damage commanders output from skills decreases as the battle goes on. It’s also why mumaks are so good with damage comms as they have enormous HP so stay alive

[@alpergurses5453]

I don't think trolls taunt the commanders therefore commanders inflicted by madness should not necessarily foucs them.

[@TheHJWgaming]

I was under the impression that they taunted everything, i will test some more.

[@johnsepulvedacruz6428]

Gothmog will destroy any commander damage dealer. Gothmog is insane against physical damage.

[@TheHJWgaming]

Completely agree, he’s awesome

[@shawnk7863]
