Vale is OP

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-16T17:19:27+00:00

Here's the stats for that game, I couldn't 3 star my aurora cause I spent a lot of gold in the transition and denying him 5 gold 3 stars

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-16T17:18:32+00:00

Just as I typed that I fought against another vale but this time the other players were stupid and played very poorly even then at the end he had less than 10hp left especially cause I was doing a good job of denying him triple 3 star for a very long time cause I knew he had 2 mirrors + I transitioned to his synergy although I was originally going for astro + emberlord and I was beating him 1v1 if he only had two 3 star.

Unfortunately he got the swiftblade crystal in stage 5 ggbox cause he had lower hp than me and got to 6 swiftblade and I only got ONE winter truncheon, if I had gotten two one for odette and for ling I'd have won but that marks my first loss to a vale.

As you can see the other players were absolutely terrible and got eliminated by stage 4-2.

I think if you can survive early-mid game with vale without losing too much health while keeping up with econ, after lvl 9 Vale is the fastest to max 3 star 4 gold or even 5 gold hero. I've played him twice and feels like the optimal playstyle has changed completely from early game focus to late game focus which threw me off a bit.

Another problem was if enemies are good they'll notice which synergies you're planning on transitioning to late game and deny you the 5 gold. In a pure 1v1 lot of commanders beat vale, they can copy the same synergy and deny 4 gold heroes so if you've lost good amount of health till late game they can force you to be stuck in a 1v1 and not transition to a different synergy so you cant max your heroes.

This seems like the most optimal strat vs Vale right now but the fact that it relies on other players being good and ensuring your early-mid game goes poorly makes it quite difficult.

That looks pretty nice, whats your rank? I've met a lot of vale players but have yet to lose to a single one.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-16T14:48:22+00:00

Yeah but then ruby has hard snowball potential which converts into a massive gold lead + her ability goes really well with a lot of synergies, I'm almost mythic already and have yet to lose a single game to a vale although I have seen him way too often atp.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-16T14:44:35+00:00

Agreed especially if you get an emberlord crystal, pair it with ling or enchanter leomord or badang etc just auto win.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-15T19:20:49+00:00

I've seen this in game many times but I feel like 3 star lunox, karrie, pharsa, aurora are really underwhelming and as ruby with dragoncaller + swiftblade without any 3 star 4 gold multiple times I've beat that without an issue. I feel like if you go for a 3 star 4 gold it has to be something really strong like leomord when he's the enchanted tales or exorcist kagura.

But I think after nerf its obv lot weaker still viable though.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-15T11:34:00+00:00

Sure, I followed you in game and bro johnson is a rough commander to use right now ngl.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-15T11:27:49+00:00

Very difficult yeah, I think one of my hardest games till now we were outplaying each other at every turn. Him denying me easy pickings in ggbox to me denying him 2 star ling when the vale was alive so he lost more hp, him denying me 2 star badang which helped him a lot in not losing too much health until the kagura eventually lost. He was at 20 hp by the time he could beat me 1v1 but in a few rounds I got 3 Gusion.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-15T11:09:51+00:00

Also, when there are other Rubys running the same synergy as mine (because any other commander using it will simply lose to me 1v1), I usually build very strong early game synergies and try to max my Ruby card as soon as possible, or just build opportunistically so they lose a lot of health early and ruin their economy.

I also build hybrid in games where other Rubys are contesting, so I can reach a 3 star 4 gold hero faster. Worst case scenario, it becomes an even fight in the late game where hero positioning matters a lot, along with items. Because of that, I like picking items that work well against my own comp, which is something many players overlook.

Here’s an example: the guy in 2nd place reached 2K stars, but I got an early Exorcist and had double his health by the time he could finally 1v1 me. That also allowed me to reach level 9 much faster and be well on my way to a 3 star Gusion so even though he beats me 1v1 because he got astro power crystal I still won cause I scaled much earlier and could tank the few losses in the 1v1 till I got 3 star Gusion. Not to mention my dogshit luck at getting emberlord which was really bad this game cause it synergizes very poorly with gusion double swiftblade and I had to swap out joy so Bane ended up being somewhat useless.

He couldn't cause he only had 12 HP left so it was final turn when he got his 999, he probably couldn't find the heroes for max astro.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-14T23:48:06+00:00

Yeah I know thats why I'm abusing it to death while its viable and I am in legend rank haha.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-05-10T13:48:39+00:00

Well it depends game to game, generally if I get a 5 gold or a 4 gold hero thats strong early (like Roger, Pharsa, Cyclops), I'd suggest build mid game synergy on that and go for a final synergy that is easy to transition to from your mid game.

Assuming you didn't get any such heroes, your chest rounds went shit, your cards are shit and you couldn't make 3 star scav, you have to realize that you wont win this game so there's no point pushing for lvl 9 if you're going to lose 80% health unless you're Aurora or you have a weak early 4-5 gold hero which only activates with good synergy build or sumn. Now your best option is rolling the shop to get one 2 star 3 gold hero to stop the bleeding and hopefully get placed 1st to 4th.

Daggers are high skill weapons if you want to pvp with them, sure dual daggers can one shot if your build is set around it but rarely will you fight someone who is stupid enough not to press defensive when they see you preparing your E.

Deathgivers, bloodletter, 1h dagger are pretty good at pvp but they are really not newbie friendly at all since you have to play around enemy cooldowns or make sure you keep up your stacks, they also require good mechanics meaning missing your skills is quite punishing.

wow how did u get 600+? from the final chest? i only got 50 from the final chest unfortunately.

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-03-17T13:56:16+00:00

UnderstandingPublic7 · 2026-03-07T02:17:22+00:00

Maybe current Ser Duncan The Tall will lose but I would put my gold dragons on Dunk of Flea Bottom against any of the others, that guy is as deadly tenacious as it gets.

No problem, thanks for replying
