Skadi as tank, my only fully leveled 5* blue. And she’s quite tanky. Ursena and Vivica as my strongest purple/yellow. My other leveled options: Leonidas (no emblems), and mok-arr. So, either put in a red 5*, or blue 4*. Reuben does decent damage, and gives a buff, so is the best option. That leaves 1 position, so figured I put in triton. Could also do Sonya, grimm, kiril, or put in jott somewhere to discourage blue.

Or maybe rigard for more healing and buffs, and to tempt using yellows, which ursena will punish?

Ufff gonna be a tough one, this is what I ran last time:

Just one small problem: Richard has long since been reset, well I do have the emblems to get him to +9, and stronger troops mean his total stats end being about the same. However, I now have a much deeper 5* bench, and I suspect the kinds of players that will be matched with my defense will probably laugh at a Richard tank.

I mean I could do something like these:



But tbh right now I’m basically just throwing :poop: at the wall and seeing what sticks lol. Will need to think more about this one. (or since my defense is gonna get demolished anyway, just have a bit of fun and yolo it)

I hate this version of tournament, 5* buff booster is probably the worst combination for me. On offense I’m lacking dispellers and for defense heroes with buffs.
At least with blue allowed I can use frida to dispel.

For defense I will probably try mono blue hotm team for undispellable buff through element link.
Can’t do much better. 0 heroes in yellow with buffs, 0 in dark, 2 in red (+2 more who only give themselves a buff) but I don’t think that red would be a good idea, a red blue team would probably get destroyed with mono blue…

Tank Vela, put Frida left flank and Alice right flank, yurple wings. Thank me later for the A+++ defense. :crazy_face:

Fwiw I’ve never had a good experience with mono defenses, especially not at the 5* level. Well maybe if you had 5 Alfrikes for a no-yellow rush sure.

Unless a DBlade miraculously drops out of the sky to ascend my 3-70 Frosth, will be going with this Defense


Probably better suited for Rush than Buff, but hopefully Krampy’s taunt and minions keep the others alive long enough to fire. The last spot was hard to decide, but figured that a Dark stack would be what I would attack a Krampus tank with, so cLeo it is

This Raid Tournament will look like a winter city where too many children ended up on Naughty List (or whatever list St. Nicolaus has). Will most likely contribute to it too.

I have several ideas…



Glenda looks ok for a tank here… But ideally I would like 2 hitters on the flanks. Which leaves a healet (Ariel or Kiril) in the corner. I could try without a healer (option 2). Or, Kiril as a tank, if needed I could break his limits for this one. :slight_smile:

Thinking bout this, Mits can be a risk or a gamechanger. Was also thinking about Onatel +19 or Poseidon +20

I also never really had a good experience with mono defense outside 3* tournaments.


What do you say about that? Could put hel instead of the bunny, and joon, Uraeus, onatel instead of the other bunny.

I am not sure how to build my defense for this tournament. Buff boister with no green seems like it would be perfect for Aegir, but beyond that I’m not sure.

I have included my first attempt and roster below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


First draft…

How much mana would Ariel and frosth provide together?

Would you go skadi+20 or cobalt+18 or frosth?
Prof instead of Finley?

I would suggest, that you go normal Magni instead Costume.

Why?

If they put def down on your Aegir, he can quickly rebuff defense and on other flank is Glenda.
Buff booster also rewards you for buffs but not for def down.

Also, you already have def down in Isarnia.

Just a small tweak :slight_smile: //

I struggle for buffers at 5 star so I’ve gone with trying to neutralise buffs from opponent as much as possible

I would not recommend a red center… most of the players will attack with a blue stack… So Grazul will melt quickly…

My 2 gems…
