It depends on variant to variant
Value of fairy chess pieces (my opinion)

As you said it's your opinion.
So what's your opinion on Duck Variant Pieces especially Bishop, Knight, and Rook?

The duck can teleport to any square on the board but it cant be captured, cant capture and is controlled by all players, i see the duck as a movable barrier, not as a piece
Value the Bishop, Knight, and Rook keeping the Duck variant in mind?

I think that the knight is slight stronger than the bishop because it can jump over pieces, i think it is:
Bishop: 3
Knight: 3,5
Rook: 5

Good, at least you know something about the variants. Keep up the good work.

The value of pawns and pawn variants depends on what pawns promote to, if they have double step and if sideways/torpedo rules and enabled or not, in my opinion sergeants in a 8x8 board where pawns promote to queen, knight, rook and bishop and without sideways/torpedo are worth 1.60 point

WHY IS THE MAN WORTH LESS THAN THE KINGHT
the problem of the Mann is that it’s slow asf
its only good on variants where there’s not many pawns
and the best uses for the Mann are defensive
It can’t even attack a Queen without being protected
and it also can’t fork a long and another piece without protection
The Mann is great as a defensive piece but it’s trash as a offensive piece

A Mann can defend against a Knight. A Knight cannot defend against a Mann

Well, if it’s one against the other then the Mann wins, but if it’s not one against the other then the Knight wins, the reason i think the knight is better than the Mann is because the Knight is really good offensively, while the Mann is only good defensively, and also the Mann is so slow that it’s nearly useless on the opening and midgame, it’s a bit better on the endgame but I think the Knight is better even on the endgame because it’s quite fast and also because the Mann can be restricted to a single Rank/File by a Rook, and that doesn’t happen with a Knight
Most people argue that the Mann is worth 3 points because it’s the combination of Wazir and Ferz which are supposedly worth 1.5 point but I don’t think they are worth that, I can’t imagine how a Mann can be worth the same as a Knight
