This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

Elements Allowed	Hero Rarities Allowed	Troop Rarities Allowed
No Ice/ Blue	or lower	or lower

Special Rule: Buff Booster

Each buffs adds an attack multiplier!

@zephyr1

Buff Booster adds a stackable 20% attack buff to each hero for each active buff on that hero. Using heroes with special skills that grant buffs or multiple buffs can lead to very high attack boosts. These buffs stack with each other and normal attack buffs.

Hmmm…

Ametrine - Cillian - Aodhan - Gullinbursti - C-Melendor.

[Chaka]

Do the slayer family bonus count as buff in this tournament?

[Ruskin505]

Yes 20 helpful posts from @PlayForFun

@PlayForFun

Slayers stacks are considered as buffs

[Kilted]

Expecting to see lots of Ferant this time round…

[rebelsouljah]

Can’t wait to see the Ferant - Boldtusk - Mack cores

I’ll be rolling with Ferant & Li Xiu again. Last week’s tourney, with them at the middle in defense, gave me an A grade.

[WaVe]

My first idea was this:

But I just finished leveling Ferant, so maybe emblem him up and put him in center? Faced a ferant last 5* rush and lost. Board had a bad start, and once he’s active it’s hard to charge your heroes.

But I’d also like to put a dispell in somewhere…

[Shunt]

Thinking with 3 slayers this should better my usual E defense

[FraVit93]

You should really tank with a red one though

[WaVe]

Orla (green) tanking in no-blue? If you need her, at least put her somewhere in the wings so she survives to fire at least once…

I’ve emblemed ferant. Which defense would be harder?

[u2371]

I remember that the previous no blue 4* buff booster, someone here suggest me to use C Boldtusk instead of CB Boldtusk. I think Wilbur is better. If Wilbur give not good result, I will try C Boldtusk in the next one

Yes, no healer but I think healer isn’t much important for defense.

[Kilted]

I think I prefer the top one with LiXiu. It’s a bit less healing, but the annoyance from mana cuts is really high. Maybe just switch Eich and Scarlett to get the def down first?

My defence is pretty much set. Just need to decide between Mist or Wu.

[WaVe]

Thanks! Good point about swapping Eich and Scarlett.

In your case I think the one with mist will do better; wu makes RNG even worse, so maybe win a few, but surely also losing a few.

[leejow]

Was thinking about this setup? Also got Aodhan but he doesn’t have any emblems yet. Feedback is always welcom

[Liam_K]

I’d go Mist - cRigard - Wilbur - Cillian - Kelile. That way all the buffers and def down is to the left of the damage dealers in Cillian and Kelile. Cillian at flank will fire faster and there are no worries about bunching the Reds together since Blues are not allowed.

[Rockstar]

Below is what i think I should go with

These are other heroes I can replace with above. Please i need others opinion.

[Gururch]

If you can max emblem Colen I would swap him in. If not I would switch places with gormek and deandre.

I would want to have as much red centered since it has the color advantage

[Vonos1982]

I will try this!

I am not sure if the firepowaah is enough… What do you think?

[Rockstar]

I have colen at E20 now, whom should he replace?

[Gems_Bond]

I’m open for suggestions
