Going with this:


I wish I had emblems for Maeve and Noril, but my 5* heroes needed them more. Not much buffing going on here apart from Faiez, but at least Joukahainen is there to debuff the attacker and if he doesn’t fire then Felton will steal your buffs. Zarola is there for hitting. It’s a pretty random group I admit, but couldn’t think of anything better to set up.

With Felton there I would drop Joukahainen, Zarola is a big help to Faiez due to increased healing, Zarel and Felton would make opponents think twice about their attacking heroes.

Would need to replace him with something though. Maybe Fianna? Poppy?

Do you have Dawn, Edelaide, Kvasir, Shrubbear or Bauchan?

I have all of them, but only Kvasir has LB + emblems. Plus Bauchan is red so he can’t be used in this tournament. Actually you’re right, maybe I’ll go with Kvasir, since that’s another annoyance the attacker has to deal with.

True that, I’m so used to field him that I forgot this time :rofl:

Let’s try this. I’m curious how this guy’s doing as a tank. I’ll give him temporarily emblems (I’m so short of paladins emblems, that my 3* share them all the time). Unfortunately, I don’t have Faiez or that green guy from magic tower.

I will go with this defense. At the end, I decide to LB2 Maeve. I was thinking if I should LB2 Maeve or Tyrum. Both are useful in 3* tournament. Tyrum is very useful in bloody battle but Maeve very useful in buff booster. At the end, I decide to LB2 Maeve because Tyrum will need 2 alpha aether but Maeve need only 1 alpha aether :sweat_smile:. Maeve will be 60 as soon as possible.

Day 1

O : 5-0

Go with Faiez - Rekhetre - Maeve - Noril and 1 heroes depend on enemy team in all attack. The board is good today. I somehow face no slayers enemy. So, 5 easy win. The slayers are still the most powerful damage-dealer hero in buff booster. It like they have permanent +40% attack. I think I will LB2 Noril next.

D : 1-0

Offense: 4-1, the one loss was due to a really bad board .
Defense: I was a little overconfident about it : 1-2 atm Rekhetre-Dawn-Faiez-Aqeela-Noril. We will see how it goes :slight_smile:

Good luck to all^^

5 attacks, 4 wins. Lost against a team with Maeve, Noril, Bertulf, Poppy and LB2 Rekhetre, so I’m not even ashamed of that.

Mono yellow seems to be working good for me with an attack team of Felton, Kvasir, Ribbit, Bertulf and Rekhetre. Also won a match with a mono green consisting of Dölgöön, Zarola, Zarel, Faiez and Fianna. Might need to mix and match these teams to reduce the risk of a bad board. Sadly my purples are all about Treevil and Greel, and very slow wouldn’t work in this tournament I think.

Defense is still undefeated with a score of 2-0.

Testing some new heroes this tournament, so no idea what is gonna happen :stuck_out_tongue:

Pulled Roxia in the Magic Tower and her mana-related passives + the damage echo look interesting. Now need to find the right mixture of heroes to surround her with. Also testing Edelaide and Virgil for their VF and Fast healing. Started with a Treevil tank defense and attacked with Roxia - Kinsaishi - Edelaide - Felton - Virgil. Board was good so not much trouble.

Second up was a Kvasir tank flanked by Treevil and Goopy, with Jouka and Helo in the wings. Replaced the 3 Yellow heroes with Para - Maeve - Aqeela. Got a bad board and though I survived to overtime, my single Virgil couldn’t outhit the 2 remaining wings.

After that decided to experiment with a double Magic team of Roxia - Dolgoon + Edelaide - Felton - Virgil. High number of buffs including damage sharing + def up. Won match 3 against a Noril tank, and decided to use the same team against the next team of Kvasir flanked by Zarel and Treevil. Note to self : Shared damage might not be the best idea when facing a Treevil. Only managed to kill the tank :sweat_smile:

Won the last one against an Edd tank to start the tournament at 3-2. Initial verdict on Roxia is that she doesn’t hit hard enough and needs support from another Green hitter. Might try Zarola + a Green healer tomorrow and go with a 4-1 attack. Didn’t get to test her 2nd charge as the boards weren’t very Green today. Edelaide suffers from the same issue as Wu Kong so best to fire her after Felton hits or his buff reflect special is wasted most of the time.

Defense is 1-0 so at least one bright spot.

Good luck everyone!

D1O: 5-0
D1D: 2-0

My roster today was Maeve, Felton, Faeiz, Noril, and Treevil/Kvasir/Helo.

Felton is a buff booster god, the Brynhild of 3*s, and the nerf is inevitable.

Def seems to hold up well. Haven’t started offense ye…

Day 1
O: 5-0
D: 1-0 A

Last night I was thinking for a long time who to put as a tank… Zarel? Bear? Faiez? Another option? I decided to go to sleep and deal with it in the morning. And today I completely forgot about everything and the team that I checked by chance (with all my LB2s) stayed in defense. It looks like this:
IMG_20230508_105414
We’ll see how this experiment develops (so far the first defense won :wink: ).
As setting up the defense was already stupid for me, I managed to at least avoid stupid mistakes in the attack :rofl:
I used Faiez - Noril - Meave for all my attacks and picked someone from Aderyn, Tyrum or Belith (as needed).

My opponents





I don’t have any of these heroes… not even one - I think I’m going back to the stone age :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Good luck everyone!

O - 5-0
D - 1-0

This is my def, it’s only supposed to be annoying, I really don’t expect it to do very well, but at least 2LB Bear is very hard to take down without reds, so should be at least a bit annoying, no matter if it ends with win or loose at the end :smiley:.

I only have Virgil and Edelaide still at 1/1 :smiley:.
