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.
Fully LBed defenses from the get go. It’s going to be a long (or short) week.
Used mainly 3-1-1 in Yellow or Purple stack. c2Kiril as the main healer, and Waddles as the main attacker. Yellow team was Lady Wool and Mist, while Purple team was cSabina/Rigard, Arges, and Ametrine.
Only time I switched was in the 4th match against a c2Li Xiu tank. After a long think, attacked with Rigard - c2Kiril - Waddles - Arges - cSonya. All that thinking was wasted when an opening cascade killed the tank Then ended up stuck because I didn’t bring a dispeller for the flank Azmia . Fortunately, I could get c2Kiril to boost health and survive the ripostes.
Toughest match was the last one against a double LB2 team.
Went with cSabina - c2Kiril - Waddles - Arges - Ametrine. Not many Purple tiles, but got enough Yellow ones. A cascade activated the tank cGullin just as I got Waddles charged. Targeted the flank cLi Xiu, then made the mistake of killing cGullin with Ametrine’s SS. The dispel damage killed the duck, but luckily the shifting mindless attack moved to cRigard, the only member of the defense who could cleanse it. Kept it going for a couple of more rounds while I got my healers charged. Was easy win after that.
Glad to be 5-0 after these small mistakes, but can’t afford to make too many of these if today’s defenses are a preview of what is to come the rest of the tournament.
Defense is like a magnet again, currently at 4-3 (B)
Don’t know if understand correctly. Is killing cGullinbursti with activated “sword” does damage? Classic Gullin doesn’t do damage when killed (or something changed?)
Go with 3 healer attack team. Lady Woolerton - C/CB Kiril - C/CB Rigard or C/CB Sabina or C Boldtusk depend on enemy team. Since I can use my C/CB Caedmon - Hansel, the other 2 heroes are depend enemy team.
The board is good today. So, 5 win. Face some LB2 enemy but without C2 Caedmon, I think it will be easier than facing C2 Caedmon. The C2 Caedmon is fast and powerful with S1 paladin talent. Without C2 Caedmon, the enemy team seem to be less aggressive and easier for my healer to keep my team alive.
D : 1-1
Don’t expect A grade from CB Kiril tank. Hope it doesn’t drop to C.
All double or triple LB2 defenses today but none too difficult as they were mostly healers. Given the scarcity of 5* healers, can’t argue with their decision.
An example was the first match with level 80 Azmia tank and level 80 CB Kiril on the wing. Usually I would attack with multiple dispellers, but the Meadow at the right flank made me settle for a cleanser Blue team of Ana-belle - c2Kiril - Waddles - Xiahou Dun - cSonya. Took a while, but managed to win.
Second match was against an Ahhotep - Wang - Junaid - Griffin - Zila Lei defense with the left 3 all at level 80. Continued with 3 Blues but flipped Sonya to her regular and switched Ana-belle with Kitty. Board was good so no problem.
3rd was the highest TP team faced yet at 4701. It had a level 80 Boldtusk - 80 cWu Kong - 79 Voluptas - Arges - cKiril. Attacked with my Purple stack of Ana-belle - c2Kiril - Waddles - Arges - Ametrine. An abundance of Purples this time and another easy win.
The only time I lost a hero was in the 4th match against a Kiril - Sonya - Azmia - Xiahou Dun - Captain of Diamonds mono team, and that was mainly due to the bad decision of waiting for Ametrine’s 2nd charge instead of hitting the opposing Sonya. Sonya with Kiril’s buffs on her sniped the cSabina I was using. It was just a minor road-bump though. Finished off a 2nd 5-0 day against another Azmia tank.
Defense is just below A the first 2 days at 5-4 and 7-5. Hope it can pick up a win or 2 more before the day ends.
The poor matching algo that plagued the launch of tournaments continues, just not quite as egregiously bad as it was.
The most frustrating is when there is one loss on Monday and then not attacked again until the last day, so an E defense for four days.
Some team compositions could be improved, 4th on Day 1, Azmia on the wing?!?
Last one on Day 2, double Wu Kong, both in base form so causing the only damage dealer, Junaid to miss…
The loss was no dark tiles to start, triggered Boril, impaled myself on the riposte when I finally got some leaving Sonya to kill Ametrine and Azmia and death by suicide.
