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.
95% certain these will be the heroes used in my defense. Not fan of mono defense at all but in the case of option 1 I actually think the synergy is quite good and does make sense. (don’t worry Jack will be at +18 if I do run this)
Option 2 is actually very similar to what I ran last time, except Hansel tank is now replaced with much better Buddy tank. Mist and cTibs are also pretty good yurple flanks, so this will be an option if I really don’t wan to run a mono defense.
Also could mix or match between these two, like replace Almur with Mist or cTibs to make Jack hit extra hard. Thoughts anybody?
Yeah I most likely will reset Buddy after this tourney since I literally just maxed Gefjon an hour ago after I finally realized RNG was not gonna give me BK this Avalon event. And agreed I stopped using Buddy pretty much everywhere once I maxed Marcel. Still think Buddy is probably the best tank for this tourney though, only “healer” allowed, he makes your team even harder to kill (attack debuff+minions) and makes he attacker easier to kill (defense debuff). Not to mention he has ridiculously tanky stats for a 4*, and outside of a really good board he will fire at least once.
Since revive doesn’t work, I’d prefer Caed in his base form for that 15% chance of a thorn minion. Also second team I might consider moving cTibs to left flank and put Jack on right flank. With double debuffs on he will probably kill 2 or 3 heroes just by himself. Does mean you have to drop Marcel and use Caed or Hansel on he other wing though but both of them have more emblems anyway.
I think C Tiburtus is still better tank than C/CB Skittleskull and C/CB Caedmon even red isn’t allowed. I also have Mist at +18 but I think C Tiburtus + C Wu Knog have better synergy.
@rho For me, I prefer C Caedmon because of cleanse. Cleanse have much larger role than dispell in bloody battle.
@Slobix They shouldn’t allow Marcel. He is 5* who pretend to be 4* with 300% to target and nearby. That is the second highest x3 hit (after Khagan) in this game.
Easy choice for me, those have emblems, brynhild is useless this time, buddy has some great stats as a tank.
I also hope it will work better on offense to this week, 4* tourneys are normally my strongest
I like one part of the idea - c.Tiburtus to the left flank. However, Marcel is not going anywhere, I kind of like the idea of massive defence debufs in the front. Gonna add few more emblems on Marcel and Bunny (have them, but no iron because battle items for event ). If they manage to fire, should be devastating.
So, will go with this - not mono green but close to that.
Marcel will be maxed and have some emblems before the start.
I actually also have jack, but not emblembed, and saving those for Devana. Not really wanting to emblem him, even if he does shine in this format
@Yamamdowna way too many blues… do you have green/purple or yellow heroes to replace? Jott is useless here, sonya is okish, but better replaced by caedmon. Also, putting in more green makes almur actually a threat, now he’s the only green and thus not really frightening.
I chose to emblem Jack because he is the part of my green event team, work in progress. With Marcel in the picture, greens can be pretty good in epic competition, almost as good as reds.
Well, just checked. I have 400 ranger emblems unused. Want to use them to get Devana some levels (so 400 or so), and also Sudri for tournament and poppy when I finally pull her (haven’t done much S4 pulls yet). So that’s another 400. Jack would also need 400 to level to a reasonable level, so I’m 800 short… could strip lianna (+7), triton (+18) or tibertus (+20), but I use those enough to leave them on. Also need to emblem Marcel, so don’t think I’ll have enough iron and food to do both…
Li is also very good, but mist is fast(er) and adds another debuff to increase damage. Yours also looks good, I would have used buddy and hansel, but don’t have them.
Well two average speed flanks might be a tad slow, but yes completely devastating if they fire. That was my thinking behind average speed tank + 4 fast hitters to ensure only the very best of boards can beat the defense.
But damn now you’re making me question my own defense!
Buddy is obviously still the most tanky out of the bunch, and he helps the team survive by giving minions. However Marcel isn’t too far behind and hits much harder but doesn’t give minions or attack debuff. Almur I emblbmed for full defense since I used him on titans before I got Fogg and 12* titans do not screw around.
I feel like I’m going to overthink this again, and whenever it happens my defense never does well. I typically do best when I just go with my first or second instinct, so I think I’ll probably just stick to Buddy tank, and maybe think about replacing Almur with Marcel. (but elemental defense down makes much more sense for a mono defense, because even slash attacks start doing 200 damage)…
@u2371 Well Caed on wing means whether he fires at the right time for cleanse is pretty random. I chose his dispel form simply because he’s druid so at least chance for a minion, whereas fighter’s talent is completely wasted this week.
