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.
At the last Masquerade, I finally got the second (and immediately third ) costume for Caedmon, so I could return to my standard attacking team (regardless of the tank color):
5-0 start as well. No testing defense faced yet but I start lower in the food chain as I don’t double LB many 4*s.
Went 3-1-1 attacking today. 3 Purples in the first match against a cGullin tank, and 3 Greens including Lionstring’s debut against cSonya tank in the 2nd match.
The last 3 were all Green tanks and settled for an attack team of Shar’Khai - c2Rigard - tCyprian - c2Li Xiu - c2Caedmon. A bit passive with just 2 hitters, but the Shark’s buffs make the tiles do a lot of damage. Might use this team more tomorrow.
For the first time in a long while, went with an all S1 defense. Working so far with 2 wins.
Went 5-0 in offence with this mono yellow team. Was just trying to do the task on PoG, now it’s done! Shoutout to Sarah from my alliance who is also in the top 10 right now
Toons are a real bear to face in this tourney type, especially when they are healer/buffer toons or paired with them.
It’s not just the “lol immune everything” thing, but that that includes buff blocking and buff dispelling.
Feels a bit like “try to kill everything around the toon(s), then just button-mash to ghost tiles as fast as possible to get to the tiebreaker attack bonus.”
Not sure how that will work when I start seeing more Toon tanks or most/all Toon defenses.
2 losses today. First one was purely a dumb mistake. In the 2nd match, faced my first Toon Cyprian tank and was so excited that I accidentally clicked the Attack button without switching to a Yellow heavy team. Instead it was the Purple team that was used in the first match against a c2Chao tank. As you can guess, it didn’t go well… Though managed to kill the tank kamikaze style.
The 2nd loss came in the last match against a 4 Toon team with tMelendor tank. This was one of those boards where I could make Red and Blue diamonds, the 2 colours I didn’t have any heroes in. Took the risk of blowing them both up in a combo and hoping for a helpful cascade. Ended up with a zero point loss.
Defense was on the verge of an A (3-2) but took a loss just an hour before Day 1 ended. 4-1 today and back into A. Let’s see if it’ll stay there this time.

My 4* heroes and 3* troops are getting overmatched quickly. Might need to start spending some resources on them. For the rest of the tournament will start testing out some new level 70 heroes such as Lionstring and Bonechill.
Does anyone have any idea how to deal with toon Cyprian? He resisted buff blocks, silencing, mindless attack, mana cut, dispels, swearing, throwing your phone out of the window and also deleting this nightmare of a game. I had no other choice but to go suicide mode and that was not even enough to take him out.
Is going mono and praying for at least 20 tiles of your colour on the board the only way?
Better offensive showing on Day 3 despite facing all 5000+ TP teams. Tried to balance testing new 4* toys Bonechill and Lionstring while aiming to win every match. Went 3-1-1 with c2Rigard, c2Li Xiu and c2Caedmon the regulars. A couple of tough fights that went into overtime, but won the first 4 safely.
In the last match, came up against a full Toon team of tKiril - tCyprian - tCaedmon - tLi Xiu - tGrimm with level 20 troops. Gave me a chance to finally try out my anti-tCyprian team of Griffin - c2Rigard - c2Caedmon - c2Li Xiu - Anastasia. Managed to kill tCyprian before he fired, but in the process my only healer c2Rigard died. Fought on and it came down to my c2Caedmon vs the Blue wings. Just couldn’t find enough Green tiles to ghost.
Defense is A at the moment (9-5). Will buy back in regardless as I need more practice against these Toon defenses.
