My rankings of the Vitawaasi units!

Vitawaasi is the 10th faction and therefore the newest. It is the expansion faction and is available here! The faction is one of my favorites from a thematic and art standpoint thanks to game Creator and Art Director Jason Crayton’s vision and leadership in Vitawaasi’s development.

Here are my tiers for Vitawaasi! (Non-blurry link here!)

• Superb Tier: Elite Ambushmaster, Owujo Warlocklord, Vitawaasi Champion, Tigromaul Ravager
• A Tier: Veteran Hunter, Vitawaasi Geomancer, Pakamtu Marauder, Kikiyaon Bloodhunter
• B Tier: Camouflaged Ambusher, Savannah Scout
• C Tier: Rhezhulor Charger, Bultungin Berserker, Wild Roc
• D Tier: Bladefang Olitiau, Savannah Wyrum

D TIER: Bladefang Olitiau, Savannah Wyrum

While Bladfang Olitiau’s Severing Bite is a good ability, for 4 gold with 1 health and very average movement/rank, it’s not the greatest value. Savannah Wyrum is a big, basic beast of a unit that is relatively unremarkable, except for the fact it generates mana instead of gold, which is a drawback.

C TIER: Rhezhulor Charger, Bultungin Berserker, Wild Roc

Vitawaasi has a lot of specialist units that are really great in certain situations, such as Bultungin Berserker. It’s excellent against expensive, high-health enemy units thanks to Championslayer, and ignores the small enemies with Menace. Outside of that, it’s primary attributes are overwhelmingly average, which means it can only shine depending on what your opponent plays. Rhezhulor Charger is an offensive powerhouse with a dominant attack and great movement. It also has Menace which helps avoid little sucker punches. Pounce is a unique ability really helps against Aerial units. At 8 gold though, it’s a steep price to pay for a melee unit that has to insert itself into the heat of battle with only 4 health. Wild Roc is solid thanks to its high health but is limited outside of being a unit that can soak up a couple attacks.

B TIER: Camouflaged Ambusher, Savannah Scout

Ranged attacks are crucial to Vitawaasi’s strategy, and Camoflaged Ambusher helps with that. Ambush is a nice ability, but I have to put the Ambusher a tier lower than the other “4 for 4” (4 units that cost 4 gold) club. This is because they don’t have the signature Trapper ability and have only 1 health. Savannah Scout fits the ” speedy scout” archetype, and that’s always useful.

A TIER: Veteran Hunter, Vitawaasi Geomancer, Pakamtu Marauder, Kikiyaon Bloodhunter

The 4 cost units are key to Vitawaasi’s early game and/or support. When utilized in the right way they set the table for Vitawaasi success. Veteran Hunter has that aforementioned Trapper in addition to a Range of 3. Pakamtu Marauder also has Range and Trapper and is not easy to get rid of thanks to Stealth. Vitawaasi Geomancer’s Stone Missle spell is basically limitless in range and is ideal for picking apart the enemy units that hang out on the outskirts of the battleground. The only knock is that all 3 of these units have low health (and attack for that matter) for the 4 gold cost slot. Kikiyaon Bloodhunter is a really unique unit. It is extremely challenging for Aerial foes to hit with both Menace and Stealth, and it has great movement. Kikiyaon Bloodhunter can add on some automatic points with Exsanguinate if enemies get wounded from the traps or ranged attacks.

S TIER: Elite Ambushmaster, Owujo Warlocklord, Vitawaasi Champion, Tigromaul Ravager

Vitawaasi has the most superb units (so far).. however the tactics behind these units are vastly different. Owujo Warlocklord was my toughest decision yet– I almost put it all the way down in B Tier because against half the factions (Non-spell heavy) it’s only an average, (even overpriced) unit. However, it obliterates the spell-based factions. Mana Rot and Deteriorate is so lethal. Combine that with good attack and health as well as being an Aerial Captain (always a plus) and I just can’t keep it out of the top tier. The Elite Ambushmaster is arguably the best ranged unit in the game when you factor in how much of a deterrent Ambush is. They also have Trapper, as does Vitawaasi Champion, which is an excellent Captain. Perfect for commanding and then rushing in to deliver the finishing touches by way of Championslayer. Tigromaul Ravager is a deadly unit, especially hunting down ranged enemies. Stealth makes it miserable to try to track down for melee units too-especially with the 4 attack skill to be wary of. Natural Hunter tacks on a victory point if the Tigromaul kills a previously wounded unit, so it works well with the traps and ranged strikes of the other units.

You can rank Factions units on Tiermaker and of course let me know where I messed up! Next up is Primus followed by Parada!
