Going the no healer route?

1 Like

As someone with no emblems, it’s either kill or be killed. Since Grevle is not allowed, nope no healers since they’re mostly tile dumps.

Not that it means anything for me but 5/10 teams in last top 10 had no healers, 6/10 if you don’t consider Kvasir a “healer”.

@SnowyIsland The only healer I’d actually put in would be an overhealer (Grevle), but since he’s not allowed, no healers.

Hi !! And what about Helo ???

I am gonna try with this one.

If you dont clean the red one Sudri will punish you. And you cannot bring red stack against so many blues. Its a shame that i dont have emblems for Oberon :frowning: . The list for fighter emblems is very long :wink:

Me also might go without a healer this time. I have Helo, but no emblems there. Also Frosty. They both could be usable in offence, especially Helo’s cleanse, but I’m thinking about going full frontal attack in defence. Like this:


If I’m going with c.Gunnar, I guess the optimal strategy is to try to kill first. :slight_smile:

Have the emblems to get cUlmer to +20? He charges in 6 tiles with the +4% node

Actually I do. A pile of wizard emblems! Thanks! :joy:

Probably this. Worked fine 2 weeks ago with no heal or what it was, and I think can also be frustrating for rush…

Fully broken defense… going to see a lot of attacks I guess…

I figured either mono blue, and then helo, because cleanse. Optionally frosty too, for more healing, but that diminishes the damage … Or add yellow and purple flanks with manacontrol.




Hadn’t thought about ulmer-c having a 4% mananode… Perhaps I shall emblem him for offense; 6 blue tiles and gunnar and ulmer firing will be punishing.

Monks, Sorcerers, and Druids have a +4% mana 20th node, so with the 5% costume bonus, they hit the 9% mana break for Very Fast heroes to charge in 6 tiles.

For this tournament, this includes the following S1 heroes
Monk : Bane + MCB, cUlmer
Sorcerer : Jahangir + MCB, cBalthazar, cOberon, Graymane + MCB, Hawkmoon + MCB
Druid : cGunnar

I’m probably missing some other heroes/costumes that I don’t have

I think that Frosty’s minions take advantage of Nordri’s elemental def down. Can anyone confirm this?

Think this is them all:
Monk:Bane + MCB, cUlmer, gan-ju +CB; friar tuck+CB (but the costume version also had bonus and is way better), c-ishhtak
Druid: cGunnar, Brienne +CB; c-friar tuck, belith+CB
Sorcerer:Jahangir + MCB, cBalthazar, cOberon, Graymane + MCB, c-hawkmoon , c-kailani

Accidentally I figured I can do one more nasty thing for this tourney - to break the limit of Sudri! :tipping_hand_man:t2::joy:

Definitely gonna try this, if for no other reason, for fun.

No Frosty or Kvasir… i do not want to invite Kvasir…

Sudri and Ulmer are the finishers…

Nordi and C Gunnar should do the def down and win…

Karol will hit like a truck!

Yes, a blue minion will do extra damage against someone with blue element def down
