What do you all think?
Dawn and Yao will be my core regardless. Ribbit is a no brainer with the mana down and heavy poison damage per turn. I feel like Nordi.C/Joukahainen LB2 will do good with their counter-attack. Kvasir will be a given with good HP minions. Aqeela with her dodge.
For offense I likely bring Planchet agains all those minion summoners in bloody tournaments. Not sure regarding Fawn since she is red, but last time she did quite well…
Here we go again. I would prefer someone else than Treevil, but I don’t want to waste any more mats for 2LB’ing 3* heroes. This setup is good enough for now.
I won’t develop Valen anymore even though he still has 3 levels left. I only use him in a bloody battle and I don’t want it to increase my TP in other tournaments
(I have only 3 LB2 3* heroes: Tree, Kvasir and Bear)
I need to max some troops, but it’s going to cost 1million ham per troop, so no thanks, but this is usually where my problem lies I think. I will do some for next time, right now I want to concentrate on other stuff.
This week’s test subjects are the Musketeer duo of Felton and Planchet. Attacked with 3-2 formation exclusively today, going either 3 Yellow or 3 Blue. Planchet/Jaco - Kvasir - Dawn - LB2 Joukahainen - Felton.
Boards were tough, and was lucky to just lose once. Can’t remember being the first to fire in any of the 5 matches.
The loss was in the 4th against a Treevil flanked by Joukahainen and Dawn. Minimal Yellow tiles, and just couldn’t find the 10th Blue for my Dawn and Jouka. Only managed to kill the tank.
It’s not reflect in the same sense as Goldie or Kitty. The skill description is “All enemies reflect status effect buffs to a random character on the opposing team for 3 turns”, which is a strange way of saying that if the enemies have that debuff, then any buff they cast will be handed to your team. So it’s a form of buff steal.
Average start of the week for a tournament i’ll probably be in until Wednesday. Rare bloody battle against all 2lb teams with only 1lb heroes can be very harsh.
4-1 today: lost the last battle because my three blue average heroes did not charge even though i matched 10 blue tiles (the matches all happened between the first four moves i made, no enemy had fired yet, no talent/passive had slowed anyone down). I faced the phone in disbelief for half a minute before doing the next move. Of course the board had no more tiles at that point, enemies started firing and the rest is history.
Defence is Treevil - Ribbit - Dawn - Boots - Kvasir and is not doing well. 0-2 for now,
Last night I must have changed my defense about 5 times. Nothing felt right, and to be honest when I saw my defense up this morning, I was surprised that I picked that one Turns out when you throw heroes at the wall and hope for the best it doesn’t work out that great
Attacks were okay today. Ever have a day where despite all the time and research you’ve spent on this game you still feel like you don’t know what you’re doing? That was me today. Not sure why, and still came out fine. But I just didn’t feel confident today when attacking.
Went 3:2 blue/yellow with:
Felton/Joukahainen/Dawn/Kvasir/Yao
for my first 3 hits but wasn’t in love with it. Switched Yao out for Buster to make it 2:2:1 and liked it a lot better. For now. Going to emblem Planchet tonight for the rest of the week. Maybe things will feel like they are clicking then.
Had no idea what to field on defense, so I went with a brick and an opposite colour brick. Two bricks. That’s the whole strategy. Today, I can only assume that two attackers got horrid boards. Not expecting much from this crew:
4-1 again on Day 2. Faced some Yellow tanks today and countered with Treevil - Kvasir - Aqeela - Dawn - cTyrum (to remove opposing Kvasir’s minion block and poison). Boards were good in the first 4 and after getting my Dawn fired, easy wins.
The loss came in the last against a Jarif tank flanked by Ribbit and Treevil. Went with the 3 Purple attack again but this time couldn’t charge anyone. Only managed to kill the frog with tiles.
Defense was not attacked on Day 1, which was actually better than the current 0-2 record.
3-2 today (7-3 in total), as expected i’ll be out tomorrow. When you don’t have tiles to charge your heroes, nothing can save you. Lost to a Kornel tank who was the only enemy hero who fired. Slash attacks demolished my team.
Defense started horribly but then picked up pace: initial 0-2, ended yesterday 3-2 and is now 4-2
Today was…weird. It’s like RNG heard my comments yesterday and threw me a couple softballs for my lack of confidence. My first two opponents had multiple healers, no minion producers, and level 1 troops. The lack of green is definitely matchmaking me with weaker players, since my roster is also much weaker without them.
I did emblem and LB1 Planchet for today but he stayed on the bench. I expect him to get play tomorrow. Alternated between the same two attack teams as yesterday. Blue/ yellow or blue/yellow plus Buster.
