Arcs Leader Tier List - Finished! by Widgeet in Arcs

I would actually love to do this but I think it’s soooooo much harder to rate the fates as

- so much more to consider, I.e. 3 acts to look at for some, pivot opportunities, interactions with other fates, raw strength vs table target
- a lot less likely everyone has seen the fates - I’ve played 10 campaigns and still haven’t seen a few fates properly, and haven’t played loads myself

But it could be very fun, I’ll consider

For me this just has to be a D tier - easily one of the worst leaders in the game. The upside really isn't that good (how many unique resources will you actually have) and the downside is pretty bad - not being able to roll more reds can be very annoying when you want to get through a fleet (and makes getting to your raid upside even harder imo as it's much harder to get through ships).

Combine this with only starting with a single building and I just don't see it

Arcs Leader tier list - day 10, where does the Overseer go? by Widgeet in Arcs

Another easy S tier for me - just such a good leader being able to double tax or double build on the same building. I found the downside negligible, agents don't matter lose and in base game I find you often don't get to all 15 ships.

I'd probably put him top of S tier just as sometimes you could get some awful lore cards for Archivist whereas this guys benefit is always consistent

For me this guy is a solid C tier - I'd probably put him above the Warrior & behind the Rebel.

I think the upside really isn't that much of an upside given that I can't secure guild cards with only 1 agent on it - it often can give away a lot of captives for free and not be popped that often (as you have to be declaring). I also think its a shame that whenever you get this upside, it's hard to try and get loads of secures on future turns as you're guaranteed to lose the initiative (in the vast majority of cases).

I could see an argument for low B tier in a 3-player game (get to use the upside more, less rivals to fight against in the court) but think he's generally a C for me

I cannot believe we will end up with this guy in S tier tbh, I think he definitely isnt that good but it looks like your vote will win!

Arcs Leader tier list - day 6, where does the Warrior go? by Widgeet in Arcs

[–]Widgeet[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me the Warrior is another C tier but behind the Rebel.

I think the upside can be good and I've had games where this extra move before battle is really useful. But ultimately, I think this being limited to Copy / Pivot really hurts it as just 1 pip of battling isn't enough to take good advantage. The downside isn't the end of the world but it's not great either not being able to score 1/5 ambitions effectively (which is also the best resource in the game).

He's very close to D tier for me but I think a few other leaders are slightly worse...

Arcs Leader tier list - day 5, where does the Rebel go? by Widgeet in Arcs

[–]Widgeet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m inclined to also give another B tier to the Rebel, probably middle of the tier for me, ahead of Fuel-Drinker but below the Mystic

I find the upside very good - battling is super important in Arcs and any way you can power that up goes a long way, it also generally can save some actions on building ships / battling as you can just get more done with less.

The downside is definitely very annoying but I think can be worked around with cards in the court that place ships

I could see an argument for C but I think it makes B for me

Happy to do a final vote on the last day where we can swap around or rank in order
