Anna-Belle loves this one. She’s been dusting off them buff boosters all morning
O 4:1
D 1:1 (C Elk. Sobek. Lud, C Marj, Arfanias+ Sobek is 4/82 +20, Lud no LB yet - 4/80 + 18.)
5 purple tanks right of the bat. Viscaro, Alfrike, Ludwig, C Obakan, Ursena; lost against C Obakan, went with CB Kiril, Frida, Sobek, CB Sabina, C Alby, went with too much healing just to charge no one before Obakan’s 2nd fire, board was horrendous and uncooperative. 3 counters too including Kiril’s superior jinx and it didn’t help at all. Whole day the boards were qute bad, even Alfrike fired before I charged anyone.
5 star torneys have always been my least favorite but the last few weeks they have sucked even more. Today I was eliminated. 3 losses against Ludwig tanks. I am a 3plus years player and it is the first time I got out on tuesday. So i not participate on the next 5 star tournaments. Actually thos game ihas been going places I dislike. Guess soon I will opt out of it completelly
Day 1 - 4-1
Day 2 - 1-3
I am out already hahaha
Defense was 2-2 for Day 1, I wont buy back in and I don’t care about my defense since I am already out
I normally don’t post in the 5* tournament thread.
But my Mielikki tank defense do better than I expect. (I don’t have any effective 5* tank, so I go with Mielikki tank.)
End day 1 with A and get 1 more lose and drop to B in day 2. Mielikki do really good job for 4*. It is very unlikely for 4* tank to get A or B grade defense in 5* tournament. I think she is my best tank now.
I think the attack try to use red against my defense which is really bad idea. Mielikki atk down will make them struggle to take down my double blue flank .
Another 4-1 day in attack. Considering the defenses faced, I’ll take an 80% win rate every time. Used 4 Purple - 1 Green in all attacks except for one match against a Khufu tank with Alucard flank and El Duque wing. Switch to 4 Blues for that one.
The single loss came against a cFreya tank with an M&M flank. Once they both fired and put out their minions, there was no chance. Salvaged 134 points so some consolation.
Defense managed a B (2-2) at the end of Day 1. A win so far today and it’s back up to A. Let’s see if it can stay there this time.
Day | Offense | Defense | Score | Def Score | Total |
---|---|---|---|---|---|

2 | 8-2 | 3-2 (A) | 7065 | 7065 | |

Good luck everyone!
Started off 5-0 yesterday which was surprising since I’m relatively new and F2P - using almost exclusively 4* heroes. Today I started with a board that was 70% yellow and purple and stayed that way through my first 5 moves at which point I was done - barely even dented the opponent heroes and zero points. Hopefully “regression to the mean” will get me some better tiles later today. Good luck to all!
Day 1
O: 4-1
D: 1-0 A
Day 2
O: 4-1
D: 0-4
First defeat against this team:
I can’t say anything about the difficulty of this opponent, because it was a really bad board I attacked with two greens (cMelendor, c2Elkannen) and three blues (Magni, Raffaell, cSonya) and there were no blue tiles on the board Using greens I managed to kill the tank and the right flank, but there were not enough “good tiles” for me to do more.
Second defeat against this team:
This time the board was average, but this defense was too strong for me. I bounced off the wall - first “0”
My other opponents:
Day 1
Day 2
Good luck everyone!
Pleasantly surprised to see my defense doing quite well, 6 wins 1 loss so far. Considering I don’t have a lot of top-shelf heroes, it’s good
Offense is more meh, 1 loss yesterday and 2 today, not expecting to finish day 4 - already encountering some very monstrous defenses
Survived Day 3 with just another loss. Switched between 4 Purple and 4 Blue (vs Hohenwerf and Tetisheri tanks) with Grazul being the off-colour healer. Boards were good with nice cascades for the most part.
The single loss was against a c2Obakan tank flanked by Morel and Bastet. Got my 6 Purple tiles but an unlucky cascade charged Obakan. Dispelled and killed him but his Superior Revive kicked in and he fired again. Did managed to kill off the right 3 defense heroes so got some points from it.
The next match, Killhare revived 5 straight times before I finally killed her
Defense lost 3 straight yesterday to wind up at 3-5 (D). No attacks today and it looks like the offense will have to provide the points this week

Good luck everyone!
So I’m limping through this tournament like I always do with 5 star tournaments, but I just came here to say that the wizard superior talent is incredible here. Who needs a dispeller when cbIsarnia is clearing all the buffs?!?
Day 4 started ominously against an M&M tank
Zero pointer and 4th loss of the tournament. With the hero chest open, bought back in and won the next one.
Then came 3 nightmare starting boards
Against weaker teams, maybe could have played my way out, but against those heroes
None were zero point losses but no chance in any of them.
Can’t remember the last time I lost 4 matches in a day in a tournament. Of course, with only 10 heroes killed, I needed to win all 6 raid flags to open the chest and promptly did so
Defense is down to D (4-8) so just gonna finish off tomorrow and see what it brings. Can’t do worse than today

Good luck everyone! Hope you get better boards!
I feel your pain buddy, it seems 5* tournaments are now more board dependent than ever. It used to be if I put together a well thought out 3-2 or 3-1-1 team, I could win 85% of my matches even with a terrible opening.
But now, if I don’t get 9 tiles of my color in time before the tank fires, I have at least a 50% chance of losing. And oh yes I’ve tried doing almost rainbow teams (2-1-1-1) and nope they don’t work, because I’m too scattered, and simply don’t have enough firepower to bring down even the tank sometimes.
I honestly don’t remember the last time I felt this stressed during a buff booster tourney (even last week’s rush against Freak tanks didn’t feel this bad) but here we are I guess. Looking forward to the bloody battle one in a few weeks
And btw c2Obakan is a bastard, way worse than Hawthorn or even Ludwig tanks I’ve found.
Ouch, @Liam_K , those boards stink.
I was not going to post in this 5* tourney thread, but I did decent… apart from the all purple defense that I threw together without lots of thought. The way I see it, my defense saved me 75 gems. Stats…
Offense = 14-4. Just lost my final match today. A couple zeroes, a couple 170 points or so, on my 4 losses.
Defense = Really bad. 3-5. (E/E/C/?/?). I was not expecting much from a 5* tournament.
Currently at 10,924 points (before defense calculations on Days 4 and 5) which is Top 25% as of now. And that’s fine with me; there is no reason to buy back in.
Best of luck to people still in it , with their Day 5 attacks.
Footnote about last week’s loot…. I got Top 5% for the first time, and was satisfied with it. Another warm cape and some ice aethers, plus the emblems and other stuff. But I have been summoning lots of blue heroes lately, so it will be useful down the line.
Take it easy, everyone.
Almost a repeat of previous tournament except my def is all B this time.
O : 19:6 (4-1, 3-2, 4-1, 4-1, 4-1)
D : 4:3 (B,B,B,B,X) If my def stays B, I should end up with 18190 points. Wondering if it will be enough for top 1%, if yes, I’m gonna get unexpected 2 5* tourneys in a row with top 1%, but I have such feeling that it won’t be enough.
Lost against these tanks (I know whole def is important, not just tank, but too lazy to take screenshots) :
1 C Obakan, haven’t faced another one
1 Aflrike out of 3
1 M&M, haven’t faced another one
1 Diaochan out of 2
1 Ludwig out of 4
1 Hulda out of 2
Also won against : 1 Ursena, 1 Viscaro, 1 CB Krampus, 1 Louhi, 1 Bastet, 1 Agrafena, 1 Xnol, 1 Quenell, 1 Set, 1 Liu Bei, 1 Waterpipe, 1 Onyx
One and out on Day 5 against this team
Took out the middle three, but got killed by Khonshu. Finished 13-8 in attack. Defense is 6-10 and not going to buy back a 2nd time.
Most probably will end up top 25%. Looks like all the luck went into regular raids these past 2 days as I went 30-0 and got a tonic in the latest Raid chest.
Good luck everyone with the loot tomorrow!
Liam, love following your adventures in the weekly tournaments! Please keep up your reporting.
I went mono all week, won 18/25 and is currently around place 1900 (only one loss was a zero). I’m more focused on 3* and 4* tournaments where I have fully built out rosters. 5* tournaments is usually about being the underdog for me as I’m not prepared to invest enough to be a big dog
@PlayForFun would you mind changing the number in the title for this topic from 181 to 191? I believe the tournament numbering is off by 10 this week. Cheers!
Yes, you are right.
I have fixed it.
Thanks, but it’s been more misadventures lately in the 5* tournaments Though, in research, finding out what doesn’t work is sometimes as important as finding out what does
Final results:
O: 19-6 (4-1, 4-1, 3-2, 4-1, 4-1)
D: 3-5 A/D/D/D/D
