I think i will try Shacklebolt as Tank for this and DF as left wing (or maybe left flank?), and… not sure who else, my usual lineup of Fizzcoil I am sure somewhere :rofl:

What’s a top tier lineup for this tournament on the current meta?

Best i can do, hopefully i can make it to top 5%

Continuing the discussion from :crossed_swords: [24th Mar, 2024] - 257th Raid Tournament - 5* Buff Booster, No Holy/ Yellow:

My best healers and dispellers are holy. All boards tonight hated me. 1-4 and I’m already out. 21-4 last tourney. This one was extremely humbling. No way on earth I’m buying back in. Enjoy everyone.

5-0 start to the tournament. Nothing too challenging yet, with only one team above 6000TP faced.

Started with 3G-1-1 attack to start, bringing Xiaotu and Grimble in to counter minions. By the last 2 matches, had switched to 4 Reds + Ferrus in attack. Ignazio, Torben, and Cardinal Richelieu were the most used Reds. Had good boards today and smooth sailing.

Defense has continued its 5* excellence with a 0-2 record so far. Hopefully won’t need to wait until Day 4 for the first win this week. :sweat:

Good luck everyone!

Tournament is currently bugged, allowing you to attack with legendary troops on your team. Already reported to SGG, but I guess this can be abused before they fix it. I don’t think defence teams allowed legendary troops, and leaderboard seems to confirm that

Day 1
O: 5-0
D: 0-1

I put this defense jokingly amd forgot to change it haha

5-0 attacks, can’t deny that the legendary troop helped. Defence is at a 1-0 for now

So, knowing it’s an exploit and shouldn’t be allowed, you still used it? I think being aware of a bug and using it should still be considered as an exploit and punishment should incur.

That’s just my 2 cents.

These are the rules of the current tournament, it’s not my fault SGG made a mistake. I also reported the issue to SGG and made it public here, when I could’ve kept it to myself and abused it privately. They can punish me if they feel like it, that’s their prerogative

Then by this logic if they make a negative mistake which affects us in a bad way, they should not compensate us for said mistake.
We can’t expect it one way and not the other.

@PlayForFun to see the bug to pass it on

In both cases the fault is on SGG. When they make a mistake they should compensate those affected by it.

Bug’s already been passed on internally

And punish those who deliberately took advantage of it - exactly. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Like I said

But the hard part is telling apart deliberate and accidental in cases like this. The legendary troop was equipped to my attack team by default, meaning I would’ve had to go in and deliberately make my team weaker to not take advantage of their mistake. Highly likely some are attacking with legendary troops without noticing

Well i forgot to change my defence after signing up.

Started facing the Goblins and Owls on Day 2. Continued using a 4-1 attack, switching between Blue (Aino - Ferrus - c2Grimm - tMagni - Finley) and Red (Ignazio - Ferrus - Torben - Cardinal - cGormek).

Was living on the edge every match where one wrong move seemed like doom. Somehow won the first 3 against much stronger opponents. Thought I had lost the 4th against a Ludwig flanked by Madhammer and Sha. Couldn’t stop Ludwig from firing, and Madhammer’s Mega Minion replaced the Cardinal’s buff stealing fiend. She killed almost everyone, but Torben revived and Ignazio healed him back. A nice cascade of Reds won it for me.

Finally dropped one in the last against a Luna tank flanked by cMarj and Fulvia with Garten and Timius wings. cGormek’s Superior Jinx never triggered, and only managed to kill the tank. Still happy with 9-1 after 2 days.

Nothing to say about the 0-4 defense :stuck_out_tongue:

Bloody Wednesday started in a bad way against a Ludwig tank flanked by Brimstone and Bubbles. Continued using my 4 Red - 1 Green team of Ignazio - Ferrus - Torben - Cardinal - cGormek. It was halfway through the match that I noticed my Red tiles were not dispelling anything through cGormek’s Wizard Superior Jinx. After losing (but not before killing Ludwig and wing Sha), checked and saw that cGormek was only at 19 emblem nodes :man_facepalming: Now I know why I didn’t manage to dispel Luna and her flanks yesterday as well :sweat_smile:

Gave him the 20th and won the next 4 with mostly the same attack. Only brought Xiaotu in for Torben in the last match against a Phorcys tank. This time, the red tiles did dispel his Taunt :grin:

Defense has its first win but not enough to escape the clutches of the E rank. But very happy to get past Day 3 in a 5* tournament.

Day Offense Defense Score Def Score Total
1 5-0 0-3 E 4,285 200 4,485
