Oh dear. Almost every limit broken 4* I have is a healer, and with no reds the options are even more limited. Gonna do my best but I have really low expectations:

At least they have double costume bonuses and S1 family bonus.

Not very good defence but at least some good heroes in it

so, that’s why nerfed druid superior talent this week.
I’m gonna set a defense with Bellerive - Xiaohudun - Marcel - Li Xiu - Caedmon

All +20 1lb, both Li and Caedmon double costumed but in their original version to keep advance of the manacut and the extra beefy minion.

ICYMI: c2 Cyprian and c1 Sonya are now at 20% chance to spawn a 20% health minion (vs 45% for 25% pre nerf)

Still good cards, just not silly good

Yeah, but I never got around using them to begin with because they are not leveled up properly. I have Anastasia and Mielikki at lvl 70 but no emblems and no limit break for either one. The only situation I would ever use them would be this kind of tournament, so I’m not sure if they deserve them. These raid tournaments only serve the purpose of getting emblems for 5* heroes in alliance wars.

Not sure Mulgog is going to survive long enough to fire twice, but he’ll provide entertainment in any matches where he does

I just decided to take the same risk… Mulgog got LB2 after the last Mirages and I haven’t tested him in any tournament yet :thinking:

Unfortunately, I’m missing one small aether to finish Triton… :frowning:

You’ve got an extra 10% defense from family bonus, and you’ve got the shark. I like your defense a lot more than I like mine!!

Extra 15% :wink:
But I don’t have any DD… :confused:

First draft

Wait a minute …
@Dzibong this is bloody battle, mulgog will not heal from poison…
And also triton no point(there’ll be no healing to boost).
Mana cutting can be made by just poor classic Li Xiu!

…but the poison will still very slowly kill the entire enemy team.

Some comments are better left silent… You simply don’t notice important nuances (you didn’t read this thread carefully :wink: )

…but she is not green (otherwise she would be taken into account by me).

I’m afraid Franz will simply be too slow… :thinking:

So regarding your defense…

I saw… 5 free pulls, picked up c2 Rigard, c2 Gormek, Toon Valen, who I guess are all worth having. But no toon Brienne or toon Boldtusk. Ah well.

Nice easy start to the tournament. Gave LB2 to both c2Caedmon and c2Li Xiu, and together with c2Grimm they formed the middle of the attack team. Level 75 Anastasia and Waddles rounded off the team.

Faced quite a variety of defenses today including a Ptolemy tank and a cCyprian one. Boards were good so no issue getting 5 wins. The only time I changed attack teams were to replace c2Grimm with Captain of Diamonds (Vs Mielikki tank) and Xiahou Dun Vs cCyprian. I’m sure things will get challenging tomorrow.

Defense hasn’t been attacked yet so far.

Good luck everyone!

Off to a good start for me on offense - here are my first two hits


Though considering the discussions and the nuances in defense setting, I always do check twice just in case the multiple healers are some sort of complex, diabolical plan :stuck_out_tongue:

First opponent:

I played 3x purple + c2 Li Xiu + Mulgog. Died without firing a special. Zero points. Either there is something deviously cunning about this team that I didn’t spot, or there is only so much you can do with red and blue tiles. Otherwise, day 1 fine.

O: 4-1
D: 0-0

Day 1 report:

O: 4-1
D: 2-2 (B)

I lost my first fight against a Franz tank, who would normally be way too slow outside of rush, but the board I got was so bad that Franz fired not once, not twice, but three times before I could fire any specials of my own. So pretty disastrous.

Offense has settled to my trusty CC combo of C2 Li Xiu + Waddles and a blue stack of Toon Grimm-C1 Sonya+Xiahou Dun. Not exactly top notch but Toon Grimm’s ailment resistance proved to be valuable, and I do believe both dispel and cleanse are needed since my main attack stack is not limit broken.

Maybe this tournament will work out for the best after all.
