This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

The allowed elements and hero/troop rarities, as well as the Special Rule will be available once the Tournament opens for joining and setting Defense Teams.

Elements Allowed	Hero Rarities Allowed	Troop Rarities Allowed
No Ice/ Blue	or lower	or lower

Special Rule: Rush Attack

All Special Skills are set to Very Fast!

@zephyr1

Rush Attack makes all hero specials of any speed Very Fast — it doesn’t require Very Fast heroes, it turns all heroes into Very Fast heroes. Heroes that are normally Slow or Average can become quite powerful in this setting.

[Ruskin505]

I leveled up Granps and Vollermork for this. Let’s see if they’re worth it. I don’t have super high expectations.
I expect to use C.Hawkmoon and Sudri in every attack.

[Toum10]

I am preparing a team for my opponents
Almost ready

[Randy]

Going with the same defense as last time this tourny ran except now broken and better troops.

@Randy

One of the best defensive showings I’ve had. Currently 50/6 with a little less than 3 hrs to go. Actually had a streak of 22 straight wins.

[SamMe]

Blocks Toum10 for displaying his LB Bauchan.

This type of tournament is exactly why I’d really like to “finally” get a Bauchan.

[rebelsouljah]

If I were to put in Vollermork and Arman, would Arman’s “decreased healing” kill, keep Vollermork’s fiends on the opponent longer? You know, because the only way to get rid of the fiends is for the opponent to give healing.

Or am I just overthinking this?

[Artamiss]

Yes I tried it with Elizabeth and vanda and that’s how it’s working

[rebelsouljah]

Thanks! This has been quite helpful. Sand DoT and fiend DoT.

[Nightmare2048]

So Bauchans, Vollermorks and Sudris, eh? Should probably max my Voldemort …

[Slobix]

A bit more work on Bauchan and Maeve… But I think this defence could be quite good. What do you think?

[Kilted]

I’m thinking this currently.

[Nightmare2048]

I am planning to use in no particular order Noril with Maeve, Bauchan, Hawkmoon and Sudri. Want to see Slayers in action.

[rho]

hehe great minds think alike

I really do want to work Maeve in there somehow, but something tells me that Bauchan/Sudri overload might be more advantageous this round lol.

[SamMe]

Blocks rho for displaying their three Bauchans.

Btw, Bauchan overload is not possible*.

*Maybe this only applies to me.

[Slobix]

Hahaha… I was just bored to make multiple copies of Bauchan and Sudri.
Also, I’m a crazy person who broke the limit of them all - so definitely gonna use this defence. I can only imagine how it looks like when Sudri fires after Maeve and her -44%. A total overkill.

[Liam_K]

Testing out the Slayers for the first time. Have Noril too but think his extra damage against Ice is wasted this week.

[WaVe]

I was thinking this:

Could replace poppy with pixie for more manacontrol, or with kvasir for minions, or put in jahangir+20?

Haven’t broken more heroes besides Hawkmoon and nordri & gunnar yet. Maybe I should do bauchan and poppy?

[Wimster8]

My first draw. Maybe a doubt about Noril. Could replace him with Vollermork +18 but I wasn’t very impressed last time. Any advice is welcome

[The_Seeker]

Two Maeve do not increase the family bonus, you need Noril to get to 75% for a chance of a slayer stack.

[the100thmonkey]

I’m going to try some mana control:

I’m not 100% sold on the effectiveness but it should at least be frustrating.
