If this is indeed the case then red mono probably gets it.

Attacking/mana controlling reds for the lolz… Rudolf both wings, EiDunn, Bauch, Namah centre?

I may put in one holy and one dark instead of the Rudy’s.

Bauchan is going to the star tank in this one. Ei-Dunn would be a natural annoyance on top of the mana cut.

I’ve never been a massive proponent of the mono defence even if you can’t stack colours… kinda need to have good enough synergy to make it worthwhile…

If I go mono, Rudolph, Namahage, Jahangir, Namahage, cHawkmoon.

If not, maybe use Chochin and Kvasir in the mix. Oh and I got Gil-ra too now.

for whatever inexplicable reason, my luck is always much worse when running a mono defense.

I also havent ever lost on offense to a mono defense either but not sure if that’s saying very much lol

Why not bring Jahangir in closer? Maybe swap Ei-Dunn and Jahangir?

Given he’s got the most Emblems on the team.

Yes I thought it… happens that Jahangir has less defense than Ei Dunn… I wanted to save him a little at the back… but I have stronger heroes than Ei Dunn… and I have them talented… so maybe not monocolor at all… Gill ra and Chochin with 20… Melia and Kvasir with 7… Berden with 17…

I have 2x Kvasir
2x Bjorn

So I will probably add one or both of those, along with hawkmoon.
I don’t think I’d have much trouble going against Mono Red, I’d probably use

Kvasir / Bjorn / Bane / Bjorn / Pixie

Or double Kvasir instead of Pixie. I like the Bees from Kvasir a lot, they helped me a lot.

14

I can put a full dark heroe there… 2 options… which is the best one? and… is it wise to put costumed hawkmoon? or should I put the normal one avoiding dispellers?
A B

I can finally do my “You get no mana team”:

Rudolph - Ei-Dunn - Bauchan - Ei-Dunn - Rudolph

Thinking along the same lines, except would it be worthwhile having cHawkmoon on left flank to boost Ei-dunn’s damage, knowing that she does 220% to 3 and not “minor damage to nearby”? She’s quite a hitter in addition to the mana slow. Plus I feel it’s always good to have a healer at flank for rush tourneys to try and mitigate some of the impact of a good opening board.

Mine would probably be something like Melia-cHawkmoon-Bauchan-Ei-dunn-Bjorn. Same color arrangement, slightly different heroes. Might sub in Kvasir for Melia though since the little beekeeper is a huge annoyance and quite durable (that 905 HP is 3/60 4* grade)

OP all updated :slight_smile:

alas, I don’t have Bauchan at all, and Ei-Dunn is still 1/1.

also not a fan of running mono defenses. when I’ve tried, my scores were comparatively terrible.

Going with this one then…

What effect would have Mana bonus of Atlantis Familiy? From very fast - > extremely fast or doesn’t make any sense?
