I love this posts to get an idea what lineups work in different conditions. Thanks!

I was thinking about the following setup:

Unfortunately I can not spare the emblems to max Aqeela at the moment. Double yellow might be risky but I hope that the bear helps a bit with survival.

Good luck to all!

This is what I came up with, still deciding which one to use…

That’s interesting. Goopy is indeed better than Cedar here - will change my setup as well.

I’ll try this def, maybe Aqeela instead Bjorn dunno. I hope it will be at least B :grinning:

Interesting format! Hopefully this doesn’t turn into an unexpected Treevil tournament again. Gonna try this:

I would change the Kvasir version, because this one will be easy to block (with Kvasir) and the enemy will hit you with blocks in the middle of the defense with impunity. And if you use him without a costume, the enemy taking Kvasir will risk that yours will fire first…

First draft

Anybody have thoughts or input on this possibility for my defense lineup?

I will try this. I never got around to maxing Goopy because ive had 5* to finish constantly

Maybe I was just unlucky, but I used him on a tank once and I wasn’t satisfied with the results… :confused:

Maybe this team…

Or…. What about this defense instead of my previous team I posted?…. :grimacing::grimacing::grimacing: decisions decisions …. Anybody’s advice works be appreciated!

It’s actually good i read here earlier because I was thinking it was buff booster so I had Faiez in my defense, that would have been a nice disaster :rofl:

How’s everyone getting on so far? I went with Zarel - Dawn - Dolgoon - Dawn - Fianna and am currently 5 from 5. No defences yet though.

3-2 today. 21 kills total.

Match 4 had this team and i killed all but 1 Alessia. She was protected by 2x kvasir minions and 1x Dawn mini9n and i just couldn’t survive.

And this i only killed 2. Kvasir went off 5 or 6 times. I had no chance

Today started with a bang with 5-0. The core of my offence teams was always Zarel-Shrubbear-Zarola, and I used either Joukahainen-Dawn or Kvasir-Felton to fill the remaining spots depending on defence. Zarola is kind of squishy so might replace her with Fianna or something tomorrow, but we shall see.

Defence is 1-0.

Lucky first day, 5-0 offense. Fingers crossed it continues.

Did a mix of yellow, green and purple for my offensive teams. Kvasir was the MVP against a Dawn / cKvasir defense

The lack of healing, especially health boost, exposed the chasm between LB1 and LB2 3*s. Tournament started off well with 3 wins, and then the wheels came off.

4th match was against a Shrubbear tank flanked by Cedar and Aqeela. Attacked with 3 Purples Kvasir - Treevil - Zarola - Aqeela - Tyrum. Only Treevil is level 60. Board wasn’t good and couldn’t kill the Bear with either skills or tiles. The defenders on the other hand just easily smashed my heroes.

Last match was against a Dawn tank. Went with a Green stack this time with 2 Zarolas + Roxia. No issue with Dawn, but the twin musketeer wings of Planchet and Felton were the nemesis with their cover.

Will probably risk a 4-1 stack tomorrow. No point really in trying to prolong the match with less fragile but lower attack heroes who can’t kill anyone.

Defense is 0-1 so far.

Better luck everyone!

Day 1

O : 5-0

Go with x2 Kvasir + x3 purple stack (x2 Aqeela - C Tyrum) or x3 green stack (C Brienne - C Mnesseus - Zarola) but mostly with the purple stack. The board is average by overall. Win without much problem.

D : 3-0

I go with this defense.

It seem to work well.
