    1. Arbiter

    2. Brute Chieftan (if you know how to use him)

    3. PoR

     I dont know why some of you think the chieftan is the best because he has always been the weakest leader. All I see in these forums is how the Arbiter is next to impossible to beat at the beginning, and how no one seems to be able to easily beat him. The Arbiter is clearly the best leader. He can kill an entire army, and early game you can use him to protect your base while you build an army up faster than any UNSC player. The BC is aight, but every other leader beats him. And I can kill him so easily with no more than 6 hog turrets. Same thing with the Por, 7 hogs can easily kill him 4 min into the game. Although brutes are allright with the chieftan, but arbiter can kill them.

    Arbiter sucks early game. Because you just force him to rage, and he destroys his economy, Just harass him and he can't support his rage for very long while building an army. Also Brutes>hogs. With the por you need to upgrade to fuel rod to take down hogs. And Brute chieftans grunt squads are better then normal grunt squads against vehicles and building.

     not all the time. i always play arby in 1v1  he is my favorite, early in the game where there are bonus reactors and supply....things send arby to clear them out as you gather resources with your ghost and continue him to clear out creeps as you scout. he will be a 1 star by the first decent attack which helps huge at 6 minutes in the game. not to mention if you dont up grade his first tech with in the first 5-6 minutes your an idiot cuz he 1 shots hogs in rage and the range he jumps keeps them from microing away from him. cheftian cant move and attack. POR beam is too slow to catch hogs. not to mention all of the leaders abilities cost resources so dont point out the arbiters only. not to mention late game arbiter is good because of ghastly vision he is cloaked and can spy on the enemy base to see how much they are building at the moment. he is good for scouting, clearing key points, huge defense because of his awesome hog killing abilities, and huge attack because he has the biggest balls of all.
