* AwesomeButImpractical: A new Eyrie player may look at their leaders and choose the most powerful looking ability to start with. However, without careful planning, this is a fast track to turmoil.
** The Commander Leader of the Eyrie. They deal an extra hit in battle, potentially giving the Eyrie the strongest offensive capability in the game, but this is contingent on having a strong army in the first place, as well as a good hand of cards to create well-rounded and flexible decrees. Starting the game with a Commander is very likely way more firepower than you can conceivably need at that point in the game, and you are immediately mandated to begin battling possibly before you can even start recruiting warriors and building roosts, risking either slow momentum or turmoil.
** To a lesser extent, the Charismatic Leader. They allow the Eyrie to amass a large army incredibly fast, and is a tempting choice to allow the player to very quickly build momentum and snowball out of control. However, the Charismatic Leader begins with Recruit and Battle viziers, which is risky for two reasons. One, the player must now insert a Move decree to even leave their starting roost. Two, depending on their starting hand, they may not be able to begin building roosts right away. This means that while the Charismatic Leader is a very strong choice in turn 1, it is highly dependent on the player's starting hand, as they require both immediate aggression and lack the ability to move or build roosts straight out the gate.

* BoringButPractical: Begining an Eyrie game with the Despot. Their only unique ability is earning an extra point from destroying tokens, which is harder to take advantage of. They begin with the Move and Build Viziers, which means they likely won't be seeing battle right away and might not even be able to begin recruiting warriors right out the gate. However, those same viziers make the Despot arguably the most practical starting leader. Instead of fighting or even being able to take advantage of their unique ability, the Despot guarantees the player the ability to build roosts as soon as possible, which is necessary to quickly draw more cards and earn more points every turn. Plus, having no Battle decree right out the gate can even be a boon, as it means the Despot has very little risk of entering turmoil early and has the luxury of choosing to play defensively until they have a larger, more spread out army with a good hand of cards to add decrees with.
