Thanks again for this post format! Really useful!

I am thinking about the following setup this time… no alpha aethers to spare currently, so LB1 Tree and Greel.

These are 5 OP rush heroes , so what should I say :stuck_out_tongue:
I will use similar team (I don’t have Greel, will replace with someone else :smiley: )

Yay can’t wait to face Treevils!
At least I have some of my own for defence so… i will be doing what everyone else does haha

I’d put Joukahainen on the left wing. In the case where multiple heroes on your defense charges, you’ll want him to dispel the taunts, def ups, and ripostes before Treevil and Greel fires.

@Liam_K that is a great idea. And what team should you use to counter these defence?

Personally, i think Faiez, Bear, Jouk, Tree look indispensable … so basically almost the same as def team :joy:

if i have dawn, i may use him as the 5th … but i dont have him so perhaps i may try Felton Basil/Waqas/Noril as the 5th

I’d use Zarel for that 5% mana boost. That will allow certain costume heroes and those with 4% mana node to charge in 6 tiles.

I’d probably use Joukahainen, cNordri, Helo, Zarel, Treevil/Shrubbear/Faiez the most this coming week.

Zarel is great! I wish I will have him in the next magic portal!

Zarel’s a Bard. She’s only available in CF2. Earliest other portal to try her is the Black Friday summons.

My mistake! I will wait CF2
EDIT : I confuse her with Roxia :sweat_smile:

11

Thank you Liam_K makes totally sense!

Zarel is also great, but more than two green heroes are too risky for me. Mono red attack teams might become quite common this tournament.

Honestly at this point I just hope there won’t be “Defeat 25 heroes in Tournament” in PoG as a weekly task next week (though I will finish PoG even without that).

Purely a Treevil tournament, but it could be worse. A 3* rush with no greens would be a total horror show.

EDIT
Sorry wrong defense lol. I need help with my defense! Here’s what I have as of now. Any advice would be appreciated!

I wish I had Alessia maxed all the way but not sure it would be too effective in Rush anyways
Here’s what I basically have to choose from: (ignore the yellow)

Simple and standard for this tourney. All hail Treevil.

I still need to LB2 Faiez , Waqas and Zarel and a few other ones good for 3* rush, so they do better on defense/offense. But I am trying to focus right now on 5*.

Thank you! I’m only level 35 so finishing high in these tourneys really helps

I’ll run Waqas - Faiez - Treevil - Buster - Zarel

I’ll probably be out of the tournament before Wednesday. Rush against an army of Treevils flanked by deadly slow heroes is too much luck-dependent. I’ll build my attack team around Helo and Faiez and hope i can have them charged in time to neutralize the tree

Good I stopped by, totally forgot about treeevil, the most important demon for this tourney

I’ll even LB2 him now
My team will probably be:

LB Maeve - LB2 Faiez - LB2 Tree - LB Dawn - LB Zarel

Difficult for me to decide as i have another LB Maeve and few LBed tough greens like Alessia, Goopy, two Jings and Dolgoon, whom i like very much
