Special Rule: Buff Booster

Each buffs adds an attack multiplier!

@zephyr1

Buff Booster adds a stackable 20% attack buff to each hero for each active buff on that hero. Using heroes with special skills that grant buffs or multiple buffs can lead to very high attack boosts. These buffs stack with each other and normal attack buffs.

[Luna]

Thanks @PlayForFun

So a blue tank ! Or maybe Wilbur as tank flanked by two ice heroes!
Shame no Brynhild this time! I love my Brynhild tank.

[Meh5771]

Thinking of running a

cSabina – Sonya – Wilbur – cGrimm - D’Andre

defense for this. All are fully emblemed and maxed, cSabina and cGrimm are LB.

[Luna]

Sapphire and Ametrine should be great for buff booster tourneys but I wouldn’t be keen on putting ninjas in my defence team!

[Ruskin505]

I might use Ametrine. I might run the linup below.

Ametrine - Sonya - Kiril - Mist - Cillian

I might want to use Grimm in there as well.

Unortunately Jott and Frank are two of my three limit broken blues (Kiril being the other), but not sure I want to use either of them on defense.

[Vonos1982]

I will try this team.

I don’t really have any other options… I know that I should pick a team by synergies and not power but the difference between my full power and “just-maxed” four stars is HUGE!

Btw do you think that I should field Wilbur or a 2nd healer? Or is Kiril enough? (I have a 2nd Kiril, 2 c.Rigards, c.Sabina,c.Boldtusk, Wilbur, Lady Baa and the Warpig)

Or should I add more firepower?

[Luna]

I’d probably go with more fire power. Do you have another red hero to replace sumle? He’s slow

Cillian is great (although he is also slow!) if you have him

I’m thinking of tanking Wilbur but haven’t decided yet!

[Vonos1982]

I have:

C.Kelile+0
Scarlet+6
Gormek+7
Falcon+12

Non of them are broken

But you are probably right. Everybody will attack with blues (c.Kiril to cancel Kiril and Sonya to dispell)so a slow red wing might become a liability…

[Luna]

Or even another blue

X - Grimm - Kiril - Sonya - X

Just a thought

[rebelsouljah]

C Grimm - C Kiril - Ferant. Could go Ammertine and Sapphire on the wings. Or put Li Xiu. Or Mist.

[WaVe]

I wouldn’t useWilbur as tank. Blue is the strong color and will kill him with tiles even with a subpar board, and has good counters in (c)kiril and (c) sonya. Even ferant has my doubts, as sonya is a fast and effective counter. Jott might be a good addition, even is he is slow, to deter stacking blues.

I was thinking this:

Not sure about flank triton, and Sonya or kiril on tank. Sonya deals damage, dispell and has beter tanking stats, but only deals damage to 1, and when taken out my dispeller is gone. But kiril on tank is too passive, even if giving 2 buffs, and I’ll be out of a healer when he is taken down…

Options:

[Luna]

Very good point @WaVe
No Wilbur then!

[ZokiCro]

I have Kiril no talents, so this is my best def so far, please advise.

[RycheAndRoll]

Going with the Following
C-Sabina (+19) (Heal, Debuffer + All Opponents immune to new buffs),
Grimm (CB, + 18) (Def Down)
Kiril (+17) (Heal, Plus Ally Attack/Defense Boost),
Mist (+19) (Moderate Damage, Target/Neighbors immune to new buffs, + Mana and D Down ailment)
Sonya (CB, +20) (Another Debuffer)

Thought about putting C-Boril in for Mist (and for another Buff Boost for the team), but felt that made my defense too passive.

[Gururch]

More firepower, players will be able to overpower your team

[Annjul]

Yolo:

CSab, Kiril, Ferant, Sonya, Mist

[Whiskey]

Kiril+cb my definite best tank here. One of the best counters to him will be his costume, hense costume Sonya on the wing, and Ametrine to dispel buffs. I like Mist over Li for the flank opposite Ametrine, and might as well use the ninja family bonus with Sapphire on the wing. That was my reasoning. Good luck!

[Vonos1982]

Who would be your pick? As I said I only have a few maxed heroes. Proteus maybe? Grimm?

[Kilted]

Decided to go like this

Using costume side of Kiril as that is the fully leveled one and as I don’t have a debuffer in the team and he should overwrite the attack/ def ups. Unsure if I should switch Dandre and rigard to get the possible def up boost prior to Rigard cleansing?

[Luna]

Solid defence! Good luck
