Log & Guide to Raid Tournaments
A Log of past Tournaments, and an overview of how Raid Tournaments work, including Special Rules and Restrictions, Attacking, Matchmaking, Defense Grade, Scoring, and Rewards.
5-0 start this week. Used a 3 Green attack mainly with William + 2 Zarolas. Kvasir and his bees were needed to counter the Dawns and also to be meat shields. The last spot went to Joukahainen or Swan Maiden depending on if I need the dispel. Only switched once to 3 Yellows (Kvasir - Jaco - tGanJu) vs an Aqeela tank with a tBalthazar flank.
Boards were bad. Don’t think I got any match where I could charge a hero in 3 moves. Swan Maiden’s dodge helped survive and win at least 2 matches. Toughest match was against an Alessia tank. She just kept firing and cutting health. Won that with William left standing with his hp in the red zone.
William was fun to use. The Recruit Guard Mega Minion he starts with does 100+ damage per turn and the extra meat shield helps his survivability.
Hopefully he’ll be as good in defense. 1-0 there so far.
4-1 on Day 2. Used the same attack teams as yesterday - 3 Greens vs Green and Blue tanks, 3 Yellows vs Purple tanks.
Boards were better today and didn’t have trouble outside of the single loss. That came against a full Toon team. It was tBrienne at tank + 4 snipers in tValen, tGan Ju, tBalthazar, and tBane, but boy do they hit hard with her Fury buff. My Swan Maiden and Kvasir were killed just as their mana bars were full. That left William and the 2 Zarolas as sitting ducks. Zero points there.
Defense ended Day 1 at 3-1. No attacks so far today.

Alt wasn’t as lucky. After a 5-0 start, 3 losses today. Bloody Battle is really unforgiving when it comes to bad boards.
Good luck everyone!
This hasn’t happened to me in ages, especially in a rare tournament. Out and completely frustrated on the second day (6-4).
I expect bad boards of course. I’ve had plenty of good ones to balance! But this was…unreal. Two days of close to nothing to work with. The wins were hard fought and by the narrowest of margins.I was even losing to teams with multiple healers in a BB week No motivation to buy back in since defense is at a E/D anyway.
Sorry for the negativity! But I think it’s important to share both sides and not just my 1% weeks. Will still be following along and cheering you all on.
The others weren’t as terrific, but didn’t feel like I would lose in any of the matches. Even the last one that started with lots of Purple and Red tiles, the first move produced a cascade of Green tiles.
Defense has dropped to D so will need the attack to provide the points.
Much tougher matches today, but just managed to win them all. Continued with the same attack team of Swan Maiden - Zarola - William - Zarola - Kvasir. Swan Maiden’s dodge was a lifesaver on multiple occasions, allowing my wounded heroes to live an extra round to get their specials off. None of the wins were clean, including one where I had a single Zarola left in the red zone against 2 defenders, but the poison from Kvasir’s bees were just enough to kill them.
Defense reversed the downward trend to settle in C (8-11). After what happened last week, I’m not going to count my chickens before they’re hatched again. But an ok day tomorrow and no more falling defense scores will be enough for top 1%.
