Noble Diplomats has a 1, because it can be research from the beginning of the game. The number represents how far down the tech tree a doctrine is. Doctrine that are further left within each tier are better than the doctrines that are to the right of them.ĭoctrines with a number on the top left corner can be research in the tech tree. For example, Inner communion only allows every one of your units to carry a single extra charge of essence, which is fairly negligible, unless you heavily invest in a strategy that generates essence quickly, then it can be okay. Doctrines in D tier are my least favorite, and what I would recommend you avoid, expect in a few very specific situations. Doctrines in B tier are slightly worse than those in C tier. Doctrines in A tier are slightly less useful than the ones in S tier.

(I'm having issue posting the complete tier list image here, so here is a link to a copy of this post: )ĭoctrines in the S tier are what I consider the best in the game. In this post, I will cover how to use my tier list, and my plans for future tier lists. Likewise, if you do agree with my assessment, then I would find it helpful to hear those thoughts as well. With that being said, I want to encourage the discussion of my tier list, so please feel free to let me know what you would change in the comments down below. If you have any strong opinions about where they doctrines should go, please keep that in mind, and know that this is a general guide to help new players understand why I choose to use some doctrines over others. I have a lot more experience with some doctrines than others, and I did ask others a few questions about the doctrines that I am less familiar with.

As requested by a comment on one of my guides on the stream, I am posting my tier lists here to the discussions, to make it easier for new players to find them.
