This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

No Holy/ Yellow	or lower	or lower

Special Rule: Rush Attack

All Special Skills are set to Very Fast!

@zephyr1

Rush Attack makes all hero specials of any speed Very Fast — it doesn’t require Very Fast heroes, it turns all heroes into Very Fast heroes. Heroes that are normally Slow or Average can become quite powerful in this setting.

Don’t enter this forest! You will get lost in the Trees

[Andrewbook]

I’m “rushing” to get Faiez ready so I don’t get lost in the trees!

[Nightmare2048]

So this Rush Tourney can be also called as Random Forest.

Yeah, not looking up to it. At all. Probably should get my Faiez working as well.

[Queefbag]

Preview for everyone playing

Treevil

Faiez

[Sam-I-Am]

Dang. should have tried to get this team ready for this:

but yeah, super fun week this will be. Faiez is going to need a vacation after slogging his way through all the trees this week.

[Roland56]

I’m going with this. Maybe it will suck who knows lol.

Previous 3* rush no yellow I tanked with Treevil too, I think I had pretty good defense, but my defense rarely got attacked… and it was awful. 0-0 day 1, 0-1 day 2 and 3 (seriously…) and 1-1 days 4 and 5.

I hope it won’t happen this time lol

[Andrewbook]

Swap Gramps and Treevil?

[Roland56]

I guess yeah. So that means swapping left and right side, as I don’t know if I want to have Faiez and Gramps near each other. It’s true that reviver should be on the left.

[Andrewbook]

I’ve been going back and forth on tanking with Faiez or the Tree. I think I may end up putting Faiez there.
What if you put both trees on the flanks with Faiez in tank then put Gramps on the left?

[Kilted]

Going with this I think.

[u2371]

Which one do you think is best ?

#1

#2

#3

• #1
• #2
• #3

[Futura]

I have similar problem with my team, and will probably use Faiez-Tree-Shrubbear-Tree-Joukahainen. Or maybe sudri over bear and start faiez on tank? Not sure yet

[Vkcko]

This tournament with no yellow allowed and losts of trees is ridiculous.

Without trees there is no change to win.

Sorry. Not playing this week.

[Dudeious.Maximus]

First draft … Got a A defence last time with this…

Good luck everyone gonna be one of those weeks

[Roland56]

I mean it could be a good idea. Red 3* has no dispellers anyway I think, so taking reds would be a bad idea even with 2 greens in a def team while Faiez tainking. I’ll see what I’m gonna go with.

[notyou87]

My only decent purple for tank would be Bjorn but im deciding to go with this lineup

[EatMyFace]

Faiez tanks cause me more problems than trees tbh

[Trixtopher901]

I only emblem 3* if use them on titans or something like that but this is what I’m rolling with

[Sam-I-Am]

ok, for real though, what do you think about this:

I do have Gramps also, just finished, at +1 but not a heap of cleric emblems. enough to get him to +7 or so i guess. Extremely surprisingly, i can actually give all of these other +1s a few emblems. Waqas the least though because i don’t have that many paladin emblems. Joukahainen and Sudri can definitely go to +7 at least.

thoughts?
