It’s all relative. Almur is more forgiving if he fires at you, whereas Marcel does a shed load of damage upfront, and then gives you defense down on top. Almur’s special barely tickles, so he’s really there for the elemental debuff.
But yes I do think Marcel makes for a better tank unless you’re running a mono defense, then Almur’s debuff makes even slash attacks do 200+ damage each.
This is my defense team, for now is scoring A. 5W 1 L
I Opted by C-LJ because I already had Mist as mana controller and dodge provided me more sustain.
In offense I finished 23-2, I think is the 2nd time I manage make it to the end. None of the loss was against a green time, but boards weren´t by my side. I found Stonecleave a PITA.
Perfect last day and it’s good to be back in the top 1% after just missing the last 2 weeks. Boards were OK but not too many tough defenses. I guess either many players don’t have strong Greens or they just look at the TP. Same Caedmon - Almur - Buddy - Ametrine - Peters team on offense all the time.
Defense is doing very well at 33-15. Was originally planning to shift all of Buddy’s emblems to Devana once she’s maxed, but now a bit reluctant
Go with same tactic Mist - CB Tiburtus - Proteus - CB Skittleskull - C/CB Caedmon. The board is average to pretty good today. I face first Marcel tank today but the board is very good, so he have no chance to fire
Day 5
O: 5-0 (25-0) YES!
D: 1-1 (6-4) Literally right on the edge of A
Well another perfect tourney week, I really could get used to this. But now I’m thinking I should probably be very, very careful with my war hits tomorrow, especially since it’s rush attack and we’re certainly going to see all-Freaky tanks left right and center.
Day 5: 1-1 and done with 18-4. Last board wasn’t good enough; was still on track to have a chance at winning, griffin dodged almur, which would have done enough damage to kill, and the next move triggered a cascade of offcolours, which charged corner tibertus. His damage I couldn’t overcome. Took out the remaining flank, so no zero, and satisfied with top5.
Well at least ranger is a much needed class for emblems, since Gefjon’s emblems are being split amongst Tibs #2, Buddy, and Jack O’Hare. Buddy and Tibs #2 will likely get reset, Jack sad to say I was entirely not impressed with so probably will lose his too. One week till minion war so still have time to decide.
Top100 all consists of players with 25 victories on attack and straight A defenses all week. That usually does not happen because logically if winning all your battles is that easy then the defenses will rarely score A. I was barely able to get into 1% loot (rank 8900) with 24 victories and EBBCB defense which is quite surprising. At least got a 5* green aether for my troubles.
