Hello,
Well erm. As a commando, depending on which t5 you are looking for, it will be completely to build your character around.
You need to level up to achieve the T5 (But you are t the max), then to unlock it you'll need to pay 750 000 gold. Anyway you have 3 options then:
1) Shielder (Royal Guard)
2) Slasher/DPS(ZweiHander)
3) Throwing hero (legio)
All 3 are good options, Seeing what you currently have I guess you would be fit to slash currently more than anyhing else I guess (Flamberge/Butcher). You can slash as any of the three heroes, Zweihanders just have the upper hand in the DPS long term of course.
1) Now you could get to the shielder hero, you'll need a better shield as a priority and eventually better armor. Better armor because you will be hit as being a shielder,it's almost impossible not to be hit. Between the crushthrough, the ballistas, the explosives etc.. There are so many things that will get through your shield and harm you. And actually you can also trade health for a hit or two on a bot. Tanking a bot with your health meanwhile you take care of an aggro for example. Which means : If you take the RG option, you will have to get a better shield, there are some really good ones, very underrated that are pretty cheap such as:
400-600k ish : Teutonic shields or defender shield. I wouldn't advise the defender shield and it's a long story to explain, but the 2 other teutonic ones are better stat wise even if it's the same crafting. (P/RG)
1m-1.5m: Swadian Studded Shield, which is very close the the Royal Shield and way better than the previous ones. ©
1.8m-2.2 : Royal shield, which is very decent ©
The next are the high end tier:
2.5mish : SSSS, SDKS, Swadian resilience. There a lot of different opinions as for these, for me I would prefer the SSSS over the resilience, but that's a personnal choice. But the most balanced of these 3 is the SDKS (Small dragon kite shield), which has the best stats of all 3 if you had to compare them. Don't listen to people telling you that a shield is "too small", unless you're shielding with a highlander shield, you don't actually have issues. It might be for the ones behind you though, and it's their own responsability not to be shot behind you. As for the leg shots, you will still be shot in the legs whatever the size of the shield, that's why you need good armor. (C+)
2.5mish too: Aegis (which is the best option and craft for shielders) (P/RG)
As for the meaning of the letters : P = Pavise, C+ = commando hero, R= Royal Guard, C = Commando. The prices are based on the current crafting prices and the current selling prices ranges.
Shielders are almost always welcome to any run.
2) Slasher: AKA Zweihanders
That's a very interresting option as your shielders depends on you a lot, you could even slash without a shielder and just barricades. But the current """"meta"""""" doesn't really give a chance to Zweis saddly.
People tend to exploit AI behaviour to throw stuff at the bots and stay away from the cades, trying to avoid the cades being hit (generally), which isn't very fun anymore for zweis I believe. I don't have a Zwei, and won't probably make one, but I would let someone else speak for that hero, as I don't know it well. In the pros: You'll earn good money if you kill stuff. I wouldn't say that Zwei are welcome to any run unless there are shielders and they won't have any fun if there is nothing to do.. But here your priority will be : 1) Get a good slashing weapon or decent one such as a hammer/maul or something else. 2) Get some head and body armor (you have an extra exclusive cheap helmet in the marketplace) 3) Eventually get a shield "incase" but it's no priority. ** Will definetly need someone to argue over this and maybe give more pros or something, idk.
3) Legio:
Legio is a very good class, but it's a bit more of the "lonewolf" of the commandos. It doesn't necessarly require teamwork to achieve anything. If your armor is light enough you can easily kite runs having a better armor than a pikeman, less damage in the throwing generally, the aim is a bit worse, but it's doable. It can be a pro to some people of course, but that's just personnal opinion once again. Good thing : people don't generally mind legios in runs I believe, they can be replacer shielders, replacer slashers and can always have usability to kill stuff by throwing.
In the cons : if you want to play legio, you'll need to invest a lot of money in your equipement. You need to think of the fact that your weight matters more than if you are a shielder, that you need damage, and that you need a good throwable weapon. I would advice CTS/Pilums as a starter throwable weapon, have also a decent 1 handed get a decent armor aswell. Then the shield doesn't really matter that much like the zwei.
For all three heroes, a good starter armor is the first trans which is around 1.5m generally. Some people give different prices for the different colours, but it doesn't matter, the armor is the same.
