They should call it „Toonaments“ or start to implement modes that prohibit specific families…

Used to be a great opportunity for theorycrafting and dusting off otherwise useless heroes because they allowed certain strategies…

Nowadays these fights are taking forever and became a chore because of the massive health and resistances toons bring to the table. I do not want to drag out every match into overtime or only bring mono teams and pray to RNG Jesus for a good starter board. This is just boring.

5-0 start to the tournament. Used the same attack team of tMelendor - Shar’Khai - tCyprian - c2Rigard - Greg from 2 weeks ago. The only difference is that tCyprian is now level 80.

Only one tCyprian tank faced today and was 5 fairly easy matches. If I can get the middle 3 charged and fired, the Shark’s crit + all the other buffs make Purple tiles do between 800-1200 damage per crit. The challenge is getting those 10 tiles for tCyprian and c2Rigard in time.

Defense is 0-1 so far.

Good luck everyone!

Since everyone is so excited about prospects of fighting toon teams, here is my contribution :upside_down_face:

4-1, so I guess the pressure is off for the week? Honestly not sure how I lost the one I did. Had my whole team left against middle three of Caedmon, Cyprian, Colen, all toons. They were pretty beat up, but I guess Cyprian’s talent fired quite a bit from there. Before I knew it I was down to Melandor against Caedmon and Colen. Live and learn I guess. Defense 1-0 so far

Day 1
Unexpected 5-0 on offense (Kalo is my only LB2 epic :see_no_evil: )
0-1 on defense

Started with a very easy 5-0 on day 1. Attack team consists of Toon Kiril, Toon Tiburtus, Toon Cyprian, Toon Rigard and Toon Grimm. A combination of Toon Tiburtus + Toon Grimm firing will generally kill everyone, while having 2 healers keeps the team alive until they get charged, and if they fire back then they get killed with riposte. Same tactics as last buff booster with exactly the same team.

O: 5-0
D: A
Score: 3851 (Top 1%)

I went 5-0 today.

I used the same team throughout:

tKiril / tRigard / tCyprian / tGrimm / Gregg

In all 4 matches, I only lost 1 hero once, in the final match against a toon chao who killed my Gregg

Defense was 0-2 when I looked, last week I had a flawless 17-0 defense, this week seems like it will be the opposite :rofl:

Lots of healers on defense, but the good thing is this meant I was able to do that weekly POG challenge

The problem with Greg against toons is superior reflect, which means he might bleed himself to death.

First day,

Offence 5-0
Defence 4-0

I only faced with 1 toon Cyprian and won. Tiles were on my side. Other opponents tanks were relatively easy

I started also with 5-0. I switched my attack team, depending on tank colour. Always in were tMelendor, Cyprian and Greg.
The last fight was interesting against 5 tLiXius, all at 80 and 22 memblemed! Three purple in attack, but the tiles were bad and I couldn‘t fire any special, before the first Li Xiu fired: Mana cut to all, ….
Finally with three heroes left, and some purple tiles, I knocked em off
Defense surprisingly strong so far with 4-0

Suffered from a severe case of fewpurpletileitis today, especially in matches 3 and 4. It’s usually a fatal condition when facing full 80/25 defenses. Both losses weren’t zeroes, but once I’m left with tCyprian and healers, there’s not much damage I can do. Hopefully will drop down to defenses more of my level (5000-5100 TP) tomorrow.

Defense isn’t so hot either, dropping from B (2-2) to E (2-5) today.

Day Offense Defense Score Def Score Total
1 5-0 2-2 B 3,818 650 4,468

2 losses against toons today and against 5k teams while mine is around 4.4K.
Overall,
O: 8-2
D: 1-1

Dont know when i’ll finally take the decision to work on my epic heroes and LB2 them… i always prioritize legendary (more use for them) and rare (easier to level up)

Day 2,

Offense 10-0
Defense 7-1

Probably I will start to lose tomorrow.
