Special Rule: Rush Attack

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.

Hooray for the week of fun.

[Sam-I-Am]

one look at the top defenses reminded me that i made this for a 5* no-yellow rush tourney last year:

so… yeah.

[Nightmare2048]

Have no Alfrike, Ludwig will have to do.

[Sam-I-Am]

oh, btw…

one of these things is not like the other

It took me a while to notice that there are not 1, but 2 LB Gramps up there in the top defenses.

[Gwniver]

Haha, what a genius meme

[Gwniver]

And I know. Gosh, these Rush Wars and Tournaments…

[Gems_Bond]

How about Treevil as a tank for this tourney? For us that aren’t blessed with Alfrike

[PlayForFun]

I have tried it once, with not much luck…
The first 1-2 match was won on defense with Treevil, but later my defense was stable E.

[BubblesUK]

Thinking I might go with this…

Or this…

[FraVit93]

@BubblesUK

This seems to be harder to defeat

[Quiet]

I think I will try this one. Sadly I haven’t even started my Alfrike yet, but once she’s ready she+Hulda+cMN will be an nightmare

Can’t get Hulda to 85 for Monday, but sometime early next week though. Regular Isarnia is better -def-wise but I’m thinking if Franz’s special is on, the costume Isarnia will deal more damage. Plus 2 sorcerers in the team.

[BubblesUK]

That’s what I was thinking - upped my third mana troop from 10-11 and maxed his emblems for that exact reason.

Thinking Franz should be sturdy enough to use in this format, if he goes off before an Alfrike fire it’ll hurt!

[Warrior21]

How does this look? These are my best heroes to use for VF war, should I change the layout like have Alfrike as the tank or switch Ably and Miki?

[FraVit93]

Alfrike tank and Ludwig between her and Alberich, Miki at her right and Vivica out for… Gullimbursti?

[Warrior21]

I just power leveled Franz and wondering if these are better, I am leaning towards the second team with Miki in it

Ludwig is a stronger tank for me (fully emblemed and LB) than Alfrike and given that yellows are still in play, I feel having 2 purple heroes are a target

I have Gullinbirsti but no emblems or LB, so c Vivica is the better choice.

Maybe I should stick with my original team without Franz, tough choice. I want to get in the top 1%, I’m hoping to get the legendary golden emblems tome, I need more Wizard emblems

[FraVit93]

The second team is a big no-no. It doesn’t have Alfrike in it and I would try my luck with Miki instead of Franz, even if he is a really good 4* hero he can’t compare with Miki’s silence and it’s not like your team would exploit his damage increase anyway…

[Ruskin505]

Trying something different this time

[Sam-I-Am]

I don’t have any of the ‘good’ heroes for this, so let’s just go with this:

and see if my defense gets any wins at all.

maybe switch Krampus and Treevil, idk. oh and i have Franz, but only +1 and i’m not sure he’s be an improvement. instead of Krampus maybe.

[Gwniver]

I´m stuck here. I only have Lianna to put as a tank. And 5* tournaments are scary stuff from down here, and to top it off - it´s Rush! This will be a quick tournament. Good luck all
