Terrible boards plus nothing but nauitca’s, c hathors, and goblins equals my worst start to a legendary rush tourney in awhile 2-3 on starting day. I give up. Between this and hero league I feel like I might as well quit this game

Been out all day, and I rushed Prince Seigfried to 4/85 +20, so I could put him on defense. Seems like it paid off…on offense. Too early to tell since no attacks yet. But he is really doing insane counterattack damage when I take him on offense. Lost 1 battle because I was unable to connect enough Nature tiles.

A rather surprising 5-0 start. Didn’t have any fixed strategy for this one, going either 2-1-1-1 or rainbow in attack. Lysanor - Ferrus - Ludwig were the constants in every attack. Used Lord Loki when there’s an opposing Ludwig and c2Li Xiu as dispeller and silencer. Xiaotu came in twice against LoTL, and Arco once against Ghealach.

Boards were good today. Even in the one match against a Scorpion Lady tank where I mistakenly brought in Goldie who would not have reflected the poison, c2Li Xiu silenced her and got enough tiles to kill XZJ before she could fire. Of course, I’m starting at a different depth from the whales and even at 5-0, I’m 300 points off the top of the leaderboard. Things will get tougher I’m sure.

Defense has started 0-1 so far.

Good luck everyone!

I was doing well, i started off against some really horrible teams and managed to win which I was truly surprised by, but then the last match gave me nothing.

I was against a Darkfeather Tank, and every time he went off, all of my heroes got -accuracy, andyet when MY darkfeather went off, they never received negative accuracy.

Every time his special was active and they fired, ALL other 4 heroes would do the extra damage, where as mine would only do 1. I feel that one was “planned” for me to lose regardless of what I did.

I killed one of the flanks so at least got a 162 score

Day 1
O: 4-1
D: 1-1

5-0 again on the second day of the tournament. Darkfeather is up to level 84 and I felt confident enough to use him in attack. Went with Lysanor - Ferrus - Ludwig - Darkfeather - c2Li Xiu in all attacks. If I get 6 Purple tiles, it’s usually enough to win.

Only had 1 very tough match against a Timius - Pepperflame - Ludwig - tVivica - Kalo defense. Killed Ludwig easily enough, but tVivica kept resisting c2Li Xiu’s silence and Kalo had taunt and stoneskin up repeatedly. Was lucky that even after my Ludwig died multiple times, Lysanor brought him back and having DF as a 2nd healer helped as well. Finally won it with 39 seconds left on the clock.

While the attack has been invincible, defense is a very vincible 0-6 :stuck_out_tongue:

I haven’t been paying too much attention but I think my defense is B each day so far, including right now

Day 1
O: 4-1
D: B

Day 2
O: 4-1
D: B

Day 3
O: 5-0
D: B

Total
O: 13-2
D: 5-5 (B, B, B)
Score: 13,040

Was thinking I would be out today but managed 5-0 somehow.
Very first match was your typical old Alfrike tank with Kalo + MN wings, Alfrike fired just before I got any specials and she hit 4 of 5 heroes, I thought that was a sure loss, but I only ended up losing 3 heroes, and won with Darkfeather + Gestalt alive

Those toons are tricky…tanky almost. Not only do they have high defense and health stats (or at least feels like they do), they also resist the crap out of everything I throw at them.

Vivica is probably the worst, in my case. Prince Sigfried has no effect on her because her hits aren’t that hard so the counterattack is minimal.

Dreams of perfection were quickly shattered in the first match. Came up against a name you don’t want to see in any PvP matchup :sweat_smile:

It was an uphill battle once Odile fired. Lysanor did her best in reviving my dead heroes, but never got enough Purple tiles for Ludwig and Darkfeather to do their thing. A Mega zero.

Bounced back to win the next 2 against tVivica and Nautica tanks. Then came up against a Relius - cKullervo - Darkfeather - Pepperflame - Fizzcoil defense. This was a long, hard match. It came down to my Lysanor and Ferrus Vs the wings. Should have fled to take the points from 3 kills. Instead Relius revived DF and cKullervo and wound up with just 100 odd points.

Beat a Pepperflame tank in the last match to finish 13-2. Will certainly take that after 3 days of any 5* tournament.

Defense won 3 in a row after 6 losses to move up to D for the moment.

I don’t normally attempt 5 star tourneys, but have bought back in for final day as top 5% finish looks likely.

Day 4 position:
O: 16-4 (4-1 / 4-1 / 5-0 / 3-2)
D: 5- 3 ( A / A / A / A?)

Playing the same team on offense, one trick pony being to delay / heal / defend until Fizzcoil nerfs the opposition into the ground. Works often enough, but can’t survive a bad board (basically fails if Fizzcoil dies too early). Haven’t had to play above 5800TP yet, Jolly managing to hang in at that level.

Good luck to everyone still playing.

2 losses again on Day 4. First one was against a Hawthorn - Azmia - tSartana - Bennu - Khepri defense. Took the risk of hitting into the counterattacks hoping for Lysanor to heal/revive the dead heroes, but never got the Blue tiles to charge her. Maybe I should put her next to Ludwig instead.

The other loss was against a Ludwig tank flanked by Sneferu and Nautica. This one was just a very bad board. Sneferu firing and blocking both Ludwig and Darkfeather’s skills gave no chance to avoid the zero. That was loss number four and will buy back tomorrow.

Defense won 5 of the last 6 to move up to C (5-7). No attacks yet today.

4 wins on the last day to finish at exactly 80% (20-5).

Loss was a zero against a Sparklight with Elephant and Ludwig flanks. Should have brought a cleanser. Once Sparklight put the reflect buff on my heroes, Lysanor, DF, and Ludwig went from assets to liabilities.

The other 4 matches were easier which is funny since the defences were in the 6800-6900 TP range while the one I lost to had a Kalo as wing.

Currently in top 1% but defense has dropped back to D (6-11). Will end up in top 5% which is fine for a 5* tournament.

Good luck with your last attacks and loot tomorrow :four_leaf_clover: :crossed_fingers:
