Top 10s #1-Fallen Heroes

New series!
Anyways, this will just be a top ten ranking of a certain thing.
For example, this post is on the top ten "fallen heroes".

A fallen hero is one that was once much better but is no longer so good for various reasons.
Note: this is for Mini Warriors v2.0, and this may become inaccurate in the future as Triniti changes these heroes.

#10-3-Star Mounted Archers
For the same reasons as Nicolai, 3-Star Mounted Archers are considered a "fallen hero".

#9-Gawain
Gawain was nearly a must-have pikeman hero when he was introduced in Mini Warriors 1.7. With the introductions of Ignatius and Achilles, Gawain has dropped to an average switch-in/switch-out hero.

#8-3-Star Musketeers
For the same reasons as Sarky, 3-Star musketeers are considered a "fallen hero".

#7-Sarky
Even though Sarky is not too bad these days, he still has been nerfed pretty badly over the course of MW history. When you consider the fact that he was a god in Mini Warriors v1.0-v1.4, (dealt damage almost equal to Merlin) comparing it to his modern self shows how he has been nerfed as well as how stronger heroes have been introduced.

#6-William
William did tons of damage in early days... but then minions started mattering more than heroes, and AOE was unable to keep up. So William is now only good at lower levels.

#5-Joan
Joan could provide epic damage boosts. Her boosts are much better than those of Saladin's, but because she is inconsistent many players choose to use Saladin instead. She still remains decent, however.

#4-Shazzo
In the early days Shazzo was very good at stopping enemies, but he had his downfall in the 1.5 era. 1.5 nerfed both Shazzo and Hilda, and both lost popularity. With the rise of the AoE age of 1.6-1.7, and the introduction of tank busters such as Ignatius and Achilles, Shazzo became very average and is hardly used in the modern day.

#3-Carter
Carter, like Shazzo, was a good tank once, but he had his day in the sun. After AoE became popular and then tank busters, not to mention the release of Cedric, Carter immediately dropped in usage. Carter was an excellent tank through 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5, but those days are behind us. Now he is only ok at skill level 12, where he can block 75% of skill damage.

#2-Hilda
Hilda had an overpowered skill in the early days. She was able to resurrect fellow heroes and do a good job of countering Nicolai by saving heroes that were dead. But alas, Hilda's glory was not meant to be, and she was heavily nerfed by Triniti in the 1.5 update. After her skill was changed to a worthless one, the skill has been buffed slightly but still lacks power. Hilda will probably never attain the glory she once had.

#1-Nicolai
Nicolai was once probably the best hero in Mini Warriors. He could destroy all enemy heroes with just a couple procs. (remember that back then people were not as skilled and PvE capped out at Old World Stage 100) Heroes also mattered a lot more then. Now he is very average and no longer does enough damage for many players to keep him in their rallies.
