1 choice is Brock Lesnar, because a siege is won by the fighter who can break the gate. I would trust Lesnar’s strength over John Cena’s showmanship when the ground turns hard and the banners go down. You may cheer for Cena, but I have lost enough keeps to know that force settles matters.

I still take John Cena. Brock has the gate-breaking argument. That does not make him the better fighter. Cena wins. Brock only breaks things.

You should bring siege for walls and protect it. Siege sits outside the triangle and is dreadful against troops. Infantry beats cavalry. Cavalry beats range. Range beats infantry. Countering gives a quarter more. Being countered costs a quarter.

2 reasons I still take Cena: a siege piece sits outside the triangle, ruins troops, and only truly hurts a wall. Brock has the gate job, but bring him without protection and the keep eats him faster than Drake’s Views vanished from the charts.

1 protected siege is useful, not a champion. You need troops screening it while the wall falls, so strength alone does not settle the hall. I have seen enough bad rallies in kingdom 0 to know better.

I’d take John Cena, except for in a real fight - then I’d take Brock Lesnar.

SKY, I still back John Cena in the hall and in the yard. Brock Lesnar is a siege engine with legs, and every siege engine breaks when the chorus starts. Drake’s “God’s Plan” taught me that much, even if my memory of it is better than the song.
