🎮 Introduction to Settlers League Strategies
The speaker introduces a tier list of 14 strategies used in the Settlers League, with a focus on Atlas strategies. The rankings will be based on personal enjoyment and the 'divine per hour' values achieved with different characters. Although these metrics vary based on individual gameplay, the speaker aims to provide helpful insights for players. A sponsor, Boot.dev, is also mentioned, promoting a coding platform that offers interactive and engaging backend development lessons with a 30-day refund policy.
🚀 All-in-Go Strategy and Cheap Ambush Strat
The first strategy discussed is the 'All-in-Go' strategy, where players quickly loot maps by picking up shrines without the need for a strong character. The strategy is fun but not quite 'S tier,' so it's rated 'A tier.' The second strategy, a 'Cheap Ambush' strategy, involves using Ambush scarabs but results in underwhelming loot, leading to a 'D tier' rating due to its lack of effectiveness in higher-tier maps.
💥 Giga S-Tier Expedition Strategy and Skittering Delirium Farm
The third strategy, Expedition, is rated 'S tier' due to its high profitability, with the speaker managing up to 24 divine per hour. Although haggling with Tu'jin slightly reduced profits, it remains highly efficient. The Skittering Delirium Farm, which involves Breaches in Tropical Islands, was less successful due to the time investment and difficulty, earning it a 'C tier' rating.
🔥 Rogue Exiles and Rolling Divination Boxes
The 'Rogue Exiles' strategy was fun and profitable but risky due to the high damage received, resulting in a 'B tier' rating. The 'Rolling Divination Boxes' strategy has great potential for huge rewards but depends heavily on luck. While the speaker didn’t get a significant payout, they enjoyed the unique gameplay, awarding it an 'A tier' rating with the possibility of 'S tier' for luckier players.
💎 Harbinger Strat and Farming T7 Maps
The 'Harbinger' strategy is praised for its consistent shard drops, easy looting, and solid returns, making it a reliable 'A tier' option. The T7 map farming strategy, while profitable, requires extensive bulk trading to extract its value, which can be tedious, leading to a 'B tier' rating due to the associated effort in managing the trades.
🌀 Simulacrums and Harvest Crop Rotation
Simulacrums, though consistent in providing currency, are boring and lack fun gameplay elements, resulting in an 'E tier' rating. On the other hand, the 'Harvest Crop Rotation' strategy involves more planning and decision-making, offering a decent profit (around 12 divines per hour) and easy trading opportunities. Its complexity and need for a strong character places it in 'B tier,' although it could be 'A tier' for those who enjoy more strategic gameplay.
💀 Failed Diff Card Farming and Ultimatum Strategy
The 'Diff Card Farming without Rolling Boxes' strategy was an overall failure, earning an 'F tier' rating for being tedious and barely profitable. Similarly, the 'Ultimatum' strategy proved to be the worst, with high investment and poor divine rolls, continuing its poor performance from the previous league. The speaker rates it 'F tier' as well, highlighting its low returns and frustrating gameplay.
📦 Stack Deck Farming and Heist Strategy
The 'Stack Deck Farming' strategy is highlighted as a consistent and simple money maker, offering instant liquidity for the items collected and minimal reliance on RNG, making it an 'S tier' strategy. The 'Heist' strategy, while tedious to set up, is highly rewarding once it’s running smoothly, with the potential for huge profits even without high-value drops. This too earns an 'S tier' rating, especially for players who enjoy heist mechanics.
