Special Rule: Rush Attack

@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.

My Alfrike likes No Holy 5* Rush attack tournaments.

Probably going with this:

Not sure if I should go with regular Mother North or with her costume, opinions?

Also not sure on cSartana as she is fast already. These are the other eligible 5* heroes I have, maybe Skadi in stead?

[Kilted]

Not looking forward to the Ludwig tank, double Alfrike flanks coming up on this. Going to need to be relying a lot on my Grazul and Lotl every attack I think

Edited to remove auto correct

[Ian487]

Really? Rush, no yellow?! Is there anything even remotely as broken within this game? It’s like going bear hunting armed with wather guns… Why not call it Alfrike&Ludwig’ s week of fun?

[Kilted]

Think this is probably best I can do

[Wimster8]

First thoughts about this rollercoaster tournament

[Shunt]

Anyone else going to give the tree a go for this?

[Kilted]

I think for attack him, Shrubbear or Gramps if LB and emblemmed are viable, but on defence could still be destroyed just by tile damage

[BubblesUK]

This is where I’m going I think…

[Nightmare2048]

Forget them, or rather, don’t forget them, but put them on flanks of Xnolphod tank . Now that’s scary.

[Shunt]

It’s 5* so a gamble. But I have my Alfrike tank and he’s back at wing. I’m happy to experiment and see how it goes

[Wimster8]

Finished my Squid just in time,

This:

Or that:

[Vonos1982]

I will try this:

Any advice?

I’m not looking forward for this week’s tourney…

I have Malosi, Mist and Gazelle to counter Alfrike but no yellow…

Anybody has a brief list of the counters of the other colours? I know Rigard and c.Sabina are effective but weak against a purple tank…

[Kilted]

My attack team is going to be based around ailment blocking, mana control, debuff and silence.

Plan to use Grazul, Seshat, LotL, Peter’s and Melendor as I have the troops to get them all in 6 tiles as opposed to 6.5 so a bit of praying too.

If you have Miki I think he’s worth using this time round against the Ludwig tanks even if Ludwig fires first if you debuff the taunt then fire miki it should mean his flanks at least only go off once as opposed to 2/3 times.

[Cheds]

Well I don’t have Alfrike. So I’m going for a bit of troll defence. If you lose to it…well…sorry not sorry

[Dudeious.Maximus]

First draft…

[KingArchur]

Cool, so excited for more of this after last war.

[Cheds]

@KingArchur

Cool, so excited for more of this after last war.

Not a single tree. You disgust me.

[Jronny]

I accept the tree challenge!

[Wraith]

Thought I’d try this
