Special Rule: Rush Attack

@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.

time for my new jahangir to shine. Add in some costumed brienne and we are golden.

Tournament de Guv

Last Time:

Click for details

Netted me a defence rating of: C,A,A,A,A

Defence Team:

Chosen this defence I think:

Alternative is this one:

(Level 5 2* Attack troops on all but kailani who wil have a Lvl 5 Defence 2* troop)

Other Options

[BubblesUK]

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.

[Guvnor]

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…

[Lexxtarc]

You guys dont know how hard i want bouchan!
well , lets try with this

other options are
Namaghe
rabbit
bane
melia

Are green a good option to add to my defense team?
here some candidates

[DeusNoctum]

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.

[CoreyOfTheIsland]

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

[Jamir]

My Jahangir is ready to burn them all

[Guvnor]

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

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

[Jamir]

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…

[notyou87]

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.

[Jamir]

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?

[Akaihana]

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

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

[rho]

@Guvnor

Defence Team:

Alternatively maybe this:

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)

[Guvnor]

OP all updated

[sleepyhead]

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…

[Godon7137]

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