Legends in Gauntlet are extremely unbalanced

As title states, some Legends are just incredibly weak, while others are insanely strong.

I’ve played a lot of gauntlet and most of the time I play on extreme. The sheer power difference in the Legends is astounding. Comparing the stats of 2 legends, really shows this.

Lets look at Kamos vs King Halogi as an example. It’s 425hp vs 800hp.10 dmg (1 interval) vs 60 (3 interval), 60 pierce armor vs 80. One being melee, one being ranged. All the left values are Kamos, the right ones are Halogi. On the battlefield this is much more noticeable. Kamos does fine. He’s a very strong minotaur. But compared to Halogi, you might as well send a pack of chickens. Halogis ability can kill 4-5 units per use with a 15 sec ds, while being ranged and much tankier. You basically hamper yourself by picking Kamos.

King Folstag has freezing breath, so he can lock down a titan for a long time. Very powerful vs titans and big myth units. Halogi kills human soldiers, myth units and titans very quickly. At 1st age, he can almost solo the middle titan in King of the Hill on extreme difficulty.

Every single other Legend i have tried, have just fallen so short im comparison. Kantos just kind of sucks. Gargarensis is OK, but nothing compared to the 2 giant legends. Nüchou is pretty good, but a lot squishier and nowhere near the same dmg as Halogi.

What ends up happening, is that you always pick Halogi or Folstag, depending how much you fear facing titans. Also they both start with Berserkers, which can build houses for you for most of the factions, freeing up your other workers.

I’d like to see some big buffs to some of the Legends. Chiyou, Kamos, Gargarensis and many more, just feel so weak im comparison. There’s no reason to ever pick them. In fact, you’re making yourself weaker by doing so! I’d like to feel like I have a big roster to pick from, rather than 2 or 3 of them, just being so far above the rest.

Thank you

I don’t think Chiyou needs to be buffed. He’s basically a melee version of Halogi, with the same HP, the same absurd regeneration, and equivalent armor.

Nuchou and Kamos seem really inferior to the other legends, and Amanra even more so, being just a weaker version of Theris.

Amanra is stronger than theris, but just in a niche situation. Lashing roots makes her 1 shot villagers with jump, theris needs 2. So you can clear levels pretty fast by just jumping onto villagers from opponent to opponent and keep them in archaic for longer. With good micro you can do this to 2-3 opponents depending on map spawn and distance.

I’m pretty sure Theris also kills villagers in one jump
The only negative point it has compared to Amanra is its nerf against heroes, but this is only annoying against egyptians in the early game

Theris jump is on a shorter cd and does less damage.

Chiyou does 12 hack dmg + 5 divine = 17 dmg with interval of 2. Halogi deals 45 hack + 15 crush = 60 with attack interval 3. His DPS is so much higher. Over 12 seconds Chiyou deals 102 dmg, while Halogi deals 240. Over twice as high dps. Then when we compare abilities. His ability 1shot 4-5 units with 15 sec cd, while Chiyou’s ability is much much weaker. Having used both, Halogi simply kills things a lot quicker. Also, an extra plus for Halogi: Being ranged. That is a great advantage.
I’d like to hear your argumentation for why Chiyou is as strong. I might be missing something. In my honest opinion though, they arent even on the same planet strengthwise.

You’re right, my memory was incorrect. Theris can only one shot villagers from age 3 onwards.
(But with Kronos’ Drowsy Dance or Odin’s Outlaw Wisdom blessings, villagers are still doomed in the early game.)

But okay, I understand that Amanra is better for super early raids

Halogi is better, of course, it’s by far the most absurd legend
I compare Chiyou to him because they have the same bulk (over 1700 HP at age 4 and equivalent armor)
That said, Chiyou’s ability can also eliminate an entire group of soldiers when paired with Lashing Roots

What I mean is that it’s not that Chiyou is weak, but that Halogi is too strong
If we compare Chiyou to other legends, he is definitely one of the best

Also, Chiyou deals divine damage and has a multiplier against human soldiers, giving him very respectable DPS
