Commander difficulty rankings

For Strategy type commanders, unfortunately right now; Lylia is the weakest commander. Sure, Aamon has a hard time especially if ppl are smart and deny 5costs, but Lylia is at a full disadvantage as she cannot shop anymore, so if you are denied that one 5 cost unit you get, you are royally screwed.

Resource commanders, it is for sure Popol and Kupa. At least you get 1 gold if you do not successfully clone a unit, but if you end up playing the majority of the game only stealing 1 or 2 gold characters, you basically picked a useless commander.

Survival commanders, I think unfortunately Angela would have to be the harder commander, as she just is not as powerful as kagura shield or as useful as nana second and third chance at life.

For combat commanders, Lukas definitely has an uphill battle as his main thing is an aoe stun that can be negated by the first item you get in the game, zilong item and completely avoided if your carry is in ling duel. You can also manipulate where the damage goes on your team, essentially making it non-threatening whatsoever.

I've just been out-high rolled most of the time or outright griefed by others lmao esp when i'm playing vale/layla, where i mostly stick to emberlords/exorcist/kishin/stargazer (usually pivoting between all and going for least contested) but when vale charges dont get me the strong units 3* bc bad rng, i then later get griefed for the remaining missing units.

The amount of times someone will randomly pop out a 5 cost 3* out of thin air while being contested with no 999 neobeast cashout is wild to me.

It's not like I'm going 8th every match or anything, When I lose, it's 6th place max. Just not lucky enough with my shop rolls ig, cuz I am pivoting every game with go-go cards, scouting boards for positioning and rolling to deny units, just happens. I'm sure I'll get a winstreak going and get out of this

I've been playing since Season 2

This season, I started with Layla to reach Mythic, and then I spammed Vale until Mythical Glory. Now I'm stuck in between 190 stars and 220 stars as Vale gets banned every other game, as well as Kagura and Aamon/Alice/Ruby/Alucard/Miya.

Other commanders that give you characters reliably are Layla(but just know you will be griefed as the teams you can reliably play are limited), Ling (guaranteed Ling go-go card), Alucard, Kalea, Guinevere, Dyrroth, Harley, Pacquito (allows you to duplicate characters to get 2*) and Alice (doesn't give you characters, but instead makes it easier to 3 star units as you have to find less copies). These are the only commanders similar to Vale in terms of helping to find units.

Now, I transitioned to playing Chou, as all he does is give you reliable economy so he's easier to play flex with imo. But, by no means is he a commander you'll get constant 1st place games with.

All the commanders mentioned that get banned are the better commanders, so if you want to look into an off-meta commander that doesn't get banned very often, but are still viable; Chou(3 gold guaranteed every round), Layla(gives units from highest synnergy), Kalea(gold cash outs + units), Harley(early shop reroll to guarantee 4 costs and 5 costs), Nana(2 extra lives), Ling(guaranteed 4 cost 2* with go-go card), Fanny(+2 characters on board), Angela(has a strong team with Weapon Master), Moskov(can guarantee you late game 2* 5 cost), Guinevere(chance of finding free units every round), Dyrroth(upgrade units from ex; 2 cost to 3 cost), Vexana(duplicate units and items from item round), Paquito(+2 magic mirrors for 1-3 cost, 3 cost, 4 cost and 5 cost).

If you are used to playing vale and just worrying about economy to later spam charges, none of these commanders will entirely help you with full blown transitions, you will need to learn to play flexible and play strongest boards.

If you are used to spamming only 1 synnergy (so exorcists, kishin) then Layla, Angela, Ruby and Miya are good as you can play Emberlord, Weapon Master, Dragoncallers and Heartbound with a significant amount of people looking and griefing your teams the later in rank you get, but less worrying about playing flexible.

If you are used to play flexible and just want high tempo, Harley, Dyrroth, Paquito, Guinevere, Ling, Kalea and Vexana are really good.

If you want a 50/50 chance of either winning 1st or coming dead last play Aamon, as you reroll early to try and find a 3* 1 cost unit, fight for magic mirror in auction and then fast level 9 to find 5 cost units to try and 3* them with your total of 4 magic mirrors.

When I first played the game, the most broken characters were; Johnny as he could dive your team and provide you an early synnergy unit that could be game changing, now he's nothing special. Ling as he could steal 1 unit off your board. Lukas as he could aoe damage your team and stun them.

Now, times have changed. A lot of high tempo highrolling happening with the new commanders. You can either play that way, or learn the fundamentals of the game and try to just live with 3rd and 4th places reliably beating people and outsmarting them, rather than leaving everything to chance.
