Log & Guide to Raid Tournaments
A Log of past Tournaments, and an overview of how Raid Tournaments work, including Special Rules and Restrictions, Attacking, Matchmaking, Defense Grade, Scoring, and Rewards.
My thinking is that Faiez’s ailment immunity would be best to get up and running, but Jolly gives that great damage reduction + minions which might increase survivability even better.
It’s tempting to use something like Buster+Boots+Starlass for my attack stack now that I have all of them fully maxed. Would be my first time to use reds for damage in a high end 3* tournament. Not having Joukahainen is gonna make ailment stacking difficult, so we’ll see how it goes.
/edit: Rethought my defense a bit. Replaced Boots with Buster and moved everyone around a bit. I think this is objectively better now.
Looks like this week will be a test of patience. Won’t be many 6 tiles and it’s a win kind of matches. Started with my alt’s 5 flags and ran out of time in 2 of them
With trepidation, started my main’s tournament but only faced one Jolly in the flank in the first 4 matches. Attacked with Zarel - Jolly - Faiez as the main trio. Mostly used Boots and Starswift/cJahangir for the damage. No trouble winning all 4.
Last match of the day was against a passive defense with only Boots as the damage dealer.
Took a risk in taking out Faiez and using a Red stack of Boots - cJahangir - Waqas, gambling that cJahangir’s Superior Jinx was enough to dispel the buffs. Didn’t work very well. Went into overtime, and timed out for a zero.
Will need to try something different tomorrow. Maybe Tyrum + tBalthazar with either Felton to reflect buffs or cKvasir to block them.
4-1 again today, but felt better with Felton in there. Bad board at the end, didn’t fire a single special at a team of Tree, Zarel, Basil, Jolly, C.Jahangir. 8-2, still just 1-0 overall on defense somehow.
4-1 again on Day 2. No Jolly tanks today, only one as a flank to a Betty tank with Rufus on the other flank. Tried with a Purple attack of Tyrum + tBalthazar along with the core 3 of Zarel - Jolly - Faiez. Took a while with Betty’s softskin, but eventually wore down the defense.
Loss came against an aggressive Starswift - Rustbeak - William - Greel - Starswift defense. Went with 2 Reds in Boots and Starswift. Didn’t manage to get any of my health boosters going before William and Greel levelled my heroes. Should have brought Shrubbear for this one. Another zero but at least that took only about a minute
