Definitely fitting to have a Jolly, Bustery Christmas tournament.

I‘d rather consider Rufus instead of Buddy … tight decision

I was thinking of going for this team for the upcoming rush war

Here’s the roster, how should i set up the team?

You’re doing fine. Work on leveling up and embleming a team more than focus on depth at this point. A good set of troops is really important too.

If you do run the team in the top picture, put Treevil on the left so it debuffs the defence first so Greel, following up, hits harder and kills.

Current plan. Considered a more annoying defense, but I’m not so sure you can time people out with the new rules.

Here is my setup. Quite optimistic for the defence (as usual) :joy:

This should be annoying:

I will try this.

Might try this, might chicken out and change it. I’m not sure Helgi is survivable enough for defense…

What did I miss? What new rules?

Raid tourney rules apply to everything now. So increased attack, crit hits reducing max health, earlier tiebreaker etc

Won 4-1 on day 1, so no medal for me this time. One of the fights included a team of 3x LB2 Helgi + 2x LB2 Treevil. I won, but I really felt those Helgi hits. Might want to level him up for the next tournament. Lost against a pretty cookie cutter team of Helgi+Joukahainen+Faiez+Treevil+Waqas. Couldn’t do enough damage to bring down Faiez before timeout bonuses kicked in and made the noob mistake of bringing Shrubbear against Joukahainen.

4-1 for me too.

Jolly tank with Dawn flank. Those 2 kept going off. I quit that match because it was one of those very slow matches that was going to go to tie break and i would lose. Constantly losing mana.

0-1, and I don’t wanna talk about it right now.

5-0 start this week. Used the same attack team of Helo - Jolly - Treevil - William - Joukahainen in all 5 matches regardless of tank colour.

William should play a big part this week. With the new PvP rule of critical tile hits reducing max hp, his buff even to only 3 is really helpful. The immunity to mana cut makes him a good Dawn counter and the Mega Minion at the start is just an added bonus.

Didn’t have much trouble today. The new rules, especially the tiebreaker damage bonus coming in at turn 23 instead of 50, made things much less of a chore. Went to tiebreaker twice but never reached the 5 minute left mark. Things should get harder against the tougher defense.

Defense hasn’t been attacked so far.

Good luck everyone!
