As the title says, what do you guys think are the best non-titan units? I ask this because titan units are so pwnsome that it makes the game boring at times.

Anyhow, some of the units I like thus far are the succubus (interrupts enemy attacks, massive AOE), magic cannon (same), Valkyrie (strong attack that hits fairly often, moves fairly quickly, enough HP), elf sniper (long range, strong attack).

Aside from the ones already mentioned…

Were-tiger: each has stats and behavior similar to hero Kara—very high damage, reasonable health, good crowd control. But they aren’t heroes; instead you can have five at once and treat them as disposable cannon-fodder if necessary.

Orang-utan: ridiculously long range. (Seriously, my orangs got me through normal mode almost single-handedly. They easily range-danced large bosses like the dragon, killing those bosses without ever getting hit. They couldn’t damage the black goblin, but were able to kill the enemy castle by firing over its head. Etc.)

Right on with the succubus Luetria :D.

Anyhow, I like the orang-utan for the long range, since it can hit the ranged units in the back by bouncing off the frontline units. That said, the ROF is slow and the damage isn’t amazing. I use it when the enemy amasses ranged units a lot.

The were-tiger I’m not that much a fan of. Yes it has a massive blade like Kara that has good AOE, but the damage isn’t amazing and the health isn’t great. It seems like a more durable but slightly weaker (damage wise) version of the phantom blade.

Let me think, Succubi & Guardians (the knights) are among my most used units.

Were-tigers and Orangutans are also good choices (though I didn’t use them)

I like the goblins. They may be weak but they spawn fast, run fast and there are lots of them. If only i was a goblin lol :-)

Weretigers are pretty good but the problem is that it dies way too eazily. In level 12 hard mord, when those heroes of epic war 3 comes, they just flip them over and then they die by archers. I like the idea of Succubus but I nearly even use it.

I tried this before. Mastered Valkyrie, Weretigers, Untamed beast, Orange Utan, Mighty Guardians, and Epic Tank. In level 8 Hard mode, those Orange Utan died eazily because there was a big massive army and the army destroyed the castle fast. Its hard to tell which is the strongest normal unit, because most of them has positive effects and negative effects.

Okay, played EW4 again after EW5 came out for comparison (played through EW3 too for nostalgia). THe thing I really don't like aobut the magic cannon (aka epic tank) in EW4 compared to EW3 is that they don't consistently fire at the enemies while sieging the castle. This is a big deal when you go up against revenge waves. In EW3 succubus+magic cannon combo pretty much raped any and all revenge waves. In EW4 the epic tank attacks in front of the castle instead of at the waves which are at/behind the castle. However I believe they made the epic tank stronger in terms of health, and they made it resist all arrow type attacks. Succubus is still awesome as always. Right now my non-titan setup is the following Heroes: Kara the Slayer--I chose her over Viegraf since she's classifed as "strong vs all" rather than just strong vs melee+arrow. Also knockup attack is earlier than Viegraff (viegraff's knockup is at the end of his attack animation while Kara's is at the front). Popo the Epic Dwarf--Possibly best hero in the game. Does so much, his range is incredible, stray/errant spikes attack castle/enemies far away. Once you get Popo close enough to the castle you can sometimes get his exploding balls to hit the castle with every spike, dealing massive damage to the castle. He consistently deals damage with his attack, and he's really durable. Cassandra the Queen--Favorite hero in the game. She travels fast and is ranged (unlike Popo who moves like a turtle). Plus her arrow attack is fairly strong, has good range, and has chance to stun with electricity. Units: Mighty Guardian--He's a tank, his attack is almost guaranteed to stun the enemies (although the pre-attack animation is pretty long). Tons of health, fairly strong attack, attack stuns=strong tank unit. Untamed Beast--My other tank, I prefer Mighty Guardian to him, but he's the next best tank. The problem is he deals less damage (per attack), has no stun unlike the guardian, and per level he gets less max units. Still, I need a tank and he's good at absorbing attacks since he's tall. Valkyrie--Good tanky DPS (league of legends terminology haha). Mostly I like her level scaling. Each level increases max unit cap by 2, last level increases cap by 3. Health increased by 150 per level (as much as mighty guardian), and attack increased by 35 per level (best non-hero/titan damage per level I think). Just an awesome unit overall. Kinda fragile at early levels, but with upgrades it's a beast. Did I mention her attack is aoe and stuns and makes her dash forward? Elf Sniper--This is my weakest pick for ranged units (like untamed beast for melee units). I pick it since it has longer range than the centaur (I think) and more numerous than the orangutan. Also her arrows have a chance to stun with ice (freeze). Epic Tank--If you can get the attack to hit, it's awesome. Only thing is it doesn't consistently hit revenge waves like it used to. However it's tanky and resists all damage from arrows. It used to be far better in EW3. But it's still an AOE automatic knockup attack. If only it would consistently hit revenge waves.... Succubus--Used to be tied with magic cannon for best unit (in my opinion) from EW3. However with the changes I noted above, Succubus takes first place in my heart. Auto knockup, huge aoe, high damage. Spells: Shield--Only spell i use consistently. I usually get an attack spell that stuns like ice blast or thunderbolt to go alongside it. Shield is straight up awesome, invulnerable units to tough out revenge waves and survive the endless waves of projectiles while making initial approach on their castle. Basically I just use a bunch of tanky melee units comboed with a strong ranged support behind them. Use shield when neccesary.

The balks are the best hands down. They push back the red goblins, which helps a whole bunch, good atk, good hp. They win.

I like Were-Tigers because they can do massive amounts of damage. Their sword has a fairly good range too, although their attack is pretty slow.
The best units to put for all 3 heroes (titan-free and fully upgraded) are:
Kara the Slayer-succubus-were tiger
Cassandra the Queen-elf sniper-forest hunter(you can stock up on those and put them in front of your castle for an unpenetratable defense)
Popo the Epic Dwarf-Valkyrie-Mighty Guardian
