This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

Elements Allowed	Hero Rarities Allowed	Troop Rarities Allowed
No Fire/ Red	or lower	or lower

Special Rule: Rush Attack

All Special Skills are set to Very Fast!

@zephyr1

Rush Attack makes all hero specials of any speed Very Fast — it doesn’t require Very Fast heroes, it turns all heroes into Very Fast heroes. Heroes that are normally Slow or Average can become quite powerful in this setting.

I think i will go with this.
I dont have better greens to set up but my Francine is kind of tanky. Elkanen doesnt add too much but if he fires with krampus attack up then it hurts a little bit more.

The team is still weak to green stack and dispel but its the best i can place.

[Slobix]

These are some of my initial ideas… Wish I can put some harder hitters there, but not sure i have it.

This is my roster, if anyone has a better idea, please share.

[BoolzSan_CrewKNIGHTS]

interesting, no past tourneys

[Cerevan_the_Omni]

I will go Mother North - Ursena - Heimdall - Skadi - Mother North

3 ple ressurect just to see what happens

[JAWS1]

Setup - I was thinking about going with my 3 Green 5*s with a healer and a finisher on the outside:

I have Joon+20 and Finley+20 on the sidelines as well. Should I put either in the lineup over what I have now? I was thinking with all the Green heros that will be used this tournament, Blue is probably not a great idea! As for Joon, I feel like if I swamp him for Zeline or Killhare, it will weaken my overall defense. What do you all think? Feedback is welcomed!

[Liam_K]

@Guvnor
It’s a 4* instead of 5*. Looks like the pattern changed

[666martin666]

My team

[Liam_K]

That one will be tough to beat. Wish I had the costume for Kashhrek

[Liam_K]

First draft

Other choice is +20 Gobbler for hit all instead of Peters

[rho]

One or the other, bring it on! (will decide later)

(yeah yeah Mist/Proteus/Hansel all have conflicting specials, the point here is if any one of them fires, the attacker is not using one or multiple specials. Mana control is king for rush tourneys)

[666martin666]

So you have even better Brynhild +19 talents!

[Ranvir]

1st draft… my Buddy has not any emblems …

[WaVe]

Do I put in my slow greens? Or do I go for my emblembed ones?

I have kashkrek costume, but he hasn’t reached the end of the queue, so it’s kash og at 3/60 and costume at 1/1. Sadly, no peters, hansel or Brynhild.

[Vonos1982]

What do you think?

I have lots of emblemed 4 stars but not slow or average… Who should be my tank?

[rho]

A mix of both. LJ should definitely be on one of the flanks, Skittles without emblems might be a bit squishy, but probably ok since the strong color isn’t present. Also I wouldn’t put Almur on defense unless you plan on a mono defense, he just doesn’t do all that much for defense.

[Olmor]

[Slobix]

Since it’s a 4* tourney after all, looks like I can put together +100 defence for the first time ever.

I have more passive option:

Are 3 healers too much?

Or slightly more aggressive option:

Do I need Melendor’s dispell? Caedmon, cleanse or dispell? Help.

[Lexxtarc]

I will go with this.

I wasnt sure about li xiu but im not fan of placing a healer instead of her(mel or brynhild) because the defense will turn a little passive and i prefer a more agressive path.

Im not fan of single target heroes so Hansel and caedmon are out. Little John is perfect for this tournament but as i dont have emblems on him i got him out of this… too squishy.

And Tibs overlaps Buddy def down but it doesnt matter, one way or another the def down is there. Im trusting tibs AOE potential and not def down.
