This is the only thing I’ve seen so far. There are some experiments in the same thread to see if they adjusted the defense mana gain speed.

Battle #2 timed out with both sides at full strength and bonus health. I hate 3* rush, it’s an endless parade of Jolly, Jouk, Tree, Dawn.

The first day of fighting and the first “0” :confused:
…but what can you do, a rush can be unpredictable :wink:
But there is also some positive news: I finally decided to break with sentiments and cut down all those trees from my defense, and despite everything the team is doing well :slight_smile:

O: 4-1
D: 4-1

Good luck everyone!

I started with 5:0 :grinning:
The most remarkable fight was when my Belith was last woman standing and I was still facing Waqas, Greel, Tree and Zarel. And I took them down one after another without being even close to defeat. Miracolous
Defence currently at 1:0

5-0 attack, 2-0 defense so far. Only one Jolly tank, took a bit longer but no real issues. Mostly Felton, Dawn, Faiez, Jouk, Jolly on attack. No real concern about timing out yet, but might need to add more hitters if the defenses get stingy

Day 2 report:

Today I won 5-0. Instead of being lazy as usual, I carefully planned my 3+2 attack teams according to the tank color for every attack, and this time it paid off. I did bring Jolly and Ribbit for every attack.

Defense is doing great with a score of 7-0 (A) so far. To be honest I wasn’t expecting this much success, but I guess some people just fled after realizing they need to go to overtime to win :smiley:

O: 9-1
D: 7-0 (A)
Score: 6,817 (top 1%)

5-0 again on Day 2. Same attack team and got the benefit of some big cascades to start a couple of the matches. Still haven’t reached the last 5 minute counter.

Only one defense could be considered a Rush with Slow heroes like Jolly, Faiez, Ulmer, and Jahangir. The rest were mostly fast and average speed Toon heroes. And no Treevil at all. How things have changed.

One benefit of the earlier tiebreak is that I can actually take some time to think of what tiles to move instead of trying to blitz it out to avoid timing out like previous Rush tournaments.

Defense is 3-0 so far (1-0 on Day 1) so nothing to complain about.

4-1 for me. Didn’t adjust and fell behind a Tree-Belith-Jolly-Bear-Helgi team. No early tiles, no time to get ahead of the buffs. Defense down from Tree gives Helgi some pretty big damage, and the fire is a lot for a 3* as well. Defense still 2-0.

4:1 on the second day. Lost against a 60 25 Toon combo on steroids :sweat_smile:
Defence now by 3:0, which is nice. Happy gaming

Quest for Perfection ended quickly in the first match of the day.

After saying I didn’t face many Rush specialists, came up against a defense of Treevil - Jolly - cFaiez - Dawn - tJahangir. Attacked with the same team of Helo - Jolly - Treevil - William - Joukahainen. Got cFaiez early, but he fighter-revived and didn’t manage to kill him again until deep into overtime. Still had a chance but after losing William, had no one to counter Dawn; and her minions just happened to target my healers with the mana cuts. Didn’t manage to cleanse tJahangir’s fire or Treevil’s ailments in time.

Bounced back to win the next 4, though they were by no means easy. The last 2 were especially a grind against tCarver as tank and as flank. He’s really annoying in this format, similar to tLi Xiu at the 4* level. Gave LB2 to tJahangir to counter him, tBelith, and Faiez in the last 2 days. Will probably give him Master Emblems as well. The one I lost to had 1,025 attack. He’ll work for Challenge Events as well with those stats.

Defense is now up to 5-0.

To my surprise, i managed to go 5-0 today.
About two of the teams were attackers, only with no healer. This had both positive and negative.

It was toon valen as tank, for example, and he kept going off and managed to one shot a couple of my heroes before i could get my healers mana full.

But after I got the healers (Faeiz and Jolly) going, it was game over for them.

One of the matches I almost lost. They had killed all of my team, and I only had my healers left. I started to get no tiles, or would start to get their health down, and they would constantly heal with Faeiz. It went to sudden death and i managed to be able to win with just my jolly alive. I managed to kill 4 of them with just my jolly. This was the game that I was most shocked at but happiest. Ended up being my jolly versus their Faeiz

Another 4:1 today. I lost against a tKailani Tank flanked by Faiez and Helgi. After Kailani and Faiez hat fired it was hard to take anybody down.
Defence still at 3:0


Good luck to everybody

Seems to be a good ideal to level Helgi :crazy_face:

5-0 today, for 14-1. Leveled T. Balthazar and Greel to 60.20, brought them and Tree against a couple yellow-heavy teams. Lot of toons today, so I left Dawn and Jouk home for the most part. Should have brought Jouk against a Kailani team, that turned into a pain. Defense 4-0, sitting 286th currently.

After a painful start due to lack of planning and terrible boards, bought my way back in yesterday. In fact enjoyed the tourny following the latest rules updates where it becomes easier to win a 3* rush provided the right team is used. The tiles gods were favorable. 4-1 yesterday and 5-0 today. Overall:
O: 16-4
D: 2-2 (B)

Leveled up both tUlmer and tJahangir to level 60 and decided to experiment with them in attack. Took Treevil and Joukahainen out for a lineup of Faiez/Helo - tUlmer - William - tJahangir - Jolly.

Won the first one against a Treevil tank, but then the experiment blew up spectacularly against 3 straight Jolly tanks. Not bringing Joukahainen was a big blunder. After losing the first 2, tried Treevil and tBalthazar flanking William, but losing seems infectious :sweat_smile:

Bought back in and beat a Saskia tank in the last match, but that’s the last time I’m benching Joukahainen against Jolly. Ah well, like the song goes “:notes: You live, you learn. You lose, you learn. :notes:

Defense is strongly A at 5-0 so should still be enough for top 1%.
