This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

No Ice/ Blue	or lower	or lower

Special Rule: Buff Booster

Each buffs adds an attack multiplier!

@zephyr1

Buff Booster adds a stackable 20% attack buff to each hero for each active buff on that hero. Using heroes with special skills that grant buffs or multiple buffs can lead to very high attack boosts. These buffs stack with each other and normal attack buffs.

Wondering… Does the family bonus count as buff in the tournaments? Let’s say we put Falcon and Jackal, will they have +20% attack at the start?

[Randy]

From last time

@Randy

Top 10 finisher’s defenses

[rho]

Mother effing Wilbur tanks again?!

You know what, I might still stack green since it’s got the best counters like (c)Caed, Hansel, and Brynhild. Dispel Wilbur’s bull , then make sure he never gets to fire again. Oh and thanks for the free spirit link which just boosted my attack by 20%.

[ApollosEmpire]

I’m trying to get this fella Maxxed out asap! It’ll be no small feat!

. He could substitute as a tank for Wilbur maybe?
Looking above at the top 10 DEFENSE ty @Randy , I see only 3different tanks Wilbur, BT, gormek,. We all are aware Wilbur is a bit catch 22 with the buff to your opponent, and if I can get mack full by start time, he’ll be my tank probably. I’m thinking of doing 1-3-1 holy/dark 3 red holy/dark ( opposite of left wing). With newer heroes available now, these rts are going to have some new life bred into them! I’m liking it!

[Liam_K]

4*s are hard to power-level if you don’t have the feeders already waiting. If you have a lot of rope, then HA3 can help

[Zsj]

I’m going with this. Again, my first gut tells me to run this and so far it gave me A’s every time so not going to fiddle with it anymore.

Thats correct, no Wilbur. I prefer the big attk up from Boldtusk, plus he can revive and be a pain. Lancelot just hits like a big truck and can also revive, Gullinbursti… nuff said

Brynhild for big buffs and Tibs for big hit all, preferably whilst under buffs of Brynhild.

[Cerevan_the_Omni]

Here goes my double Rokkamush BAM again!

Rokka - C.Rigs - Wilbur - Mist - Rokka

Rigard is there to counter any def down heroes, that enemy throws on us, mist will slow enemy down and make extra hurt for Rokka club smash

A++ defense, here I come ! (now that I jinxed it, probably I will have 0 attacks for 5 days)

[Zsj]

I believe they do not. Could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure it does not count.

Buffs like from Brynhild ( extra attack on low health ) DO count!

[rho]

@rho

One or the other, not gonna overthink this one.

Apparently I ran one of the two last time and my defense got miserably slaughtered at 0-3 for an E throughout lol.

So won’t tank BT this time, and will probably ignore the buff boost rule somewhat in favor of a fast punishing tank (cKelile looks promising here…)

[Slobix]

LoL, I’m kind of lost here, hopefully will decide until tomorrow.
Some ideas:

Comments are appreciated, let’s solve this together.

PS. Have Mist+18, Gulin+20, Falcon+19… They could possibly find a place in the team.

[WaVe]

I figured this. Last time I tanked Wilbur and that didn’t really work. Maybe this will be better?

I think c-sabina will really do well, but unfortunately I haven’t got her costume.

[Vikingblood80]

@Nal94

Does the family bonus count as buff in the tournaments?

No. Family bonuses usually don’t give an icon on your hero. #buffs = # icons.

Paladin talent and Midgard realm bonus count as they create an icon.

[sft1965]

I literally have almost no effective 4*'s for this. I’m kind of shocked. I can put up some lame defense that will get me a C or D ranking, which is awful, but I don’t fear for the attack element from my side.

[Nal94]

A++ with missing it all Rokkas? I’d like to see that

[Nal94]

thank you - 20 characters

[u2371]

I will go with this defense.

Edit & Note : I swap Kelile+20 and CB Caedmon+20 position. (Because I totally forget about counter attack when I post the picture.)

Try double average AoE/paladin flank in buff booster.

[Cerevan_the_Omni]

Thats why there is Wilbur… If Rokkas hit once, everyone gets hit, so they cant miss

[Nal94]

it’ll split but a pretty lower damage output. I don’t know if that will give proper bleeding to all…
