Going with this:


I just gave Kvasir his master emblems which brings his defense to almost 900. Will probably level up his troop to 15 before it starts, just a little low on ham at the moment.

An amazing lineup! I’ve been weighing the pros and cons of ribbit vs toon karil.

Kvasir counter


I wonder if this defense will be enough damage… or if Jouk and toons will be able to shut it down

I have a sneaking suspicion that SLOW heroes are a burden in this tournament, average and fast heroes that do decent damage shine because if they go off several times, you’re done forth. The last tournament (even if 4*) I had kept all slow heroes who hit hard but kept losing to teams with fast or average heroes. A team of 5 Nordris killing my Dawn and Treevil tank and flanks before they fired left me at D on defense

Shoutout to toons who mana dispels and negative ailments is not a burden to 75% of times , that will be instrumental in bloody battle

Here’s who I went with on defense

Day 1 (5-0)

Easy day 1, but placing high on the leaderboard is entirely dependent on getting attacked on defense. If something isn’t done about this, as players leave the game we’ll be in a situation where 50% of all undefeated players will be eliminated from getting a top finish due to not getting attacked on day 1.

I’d also like to understand what determines the amount of points for an attack. I faced a 4119 power team worth 643 points and then an identical 4119 team of 5 toons worth 639 points. If it has to do with the defense’s win rate then the time of day you attack on day 1 would likely affect your score (I’d assume attacking early for buff booster and late for rush since defenses win more on rush).

The number of points depends on the maximum possible TP for a given player (and not on the one of his defensive team)
Even if you put only 1* at level 1.1, the enemy will still receive the same number of points as currently.

Thanks @Dzibong! My initial reaction was it was flawed logic, but I suppose it prevents people from putting level 1 heroes on defense.

After seeing the effectiveness of Dawn flanked by 2 Toons in the previous Bloody Battle, decided to copy the idea both in attack and defense. Most of the time attacking with Jaco - tGan Ju - Dawn - tBalthazar - Kvasir. 4 wins in Day 1 with this strategy.

Single loss was against a Kvasir tank.


Could have stacked Purple, but the two flanks made me stay with the Yellows. Only managed to kill the tank despite facing 3 Slow heroes with 4 fast ones :person_shrugging:

Defense hasn’t been attacked yet.

Good luck everyone!

One of the overlooked things in this game is Ribbit’s passive, which gives him mana whenever a minion is summoned by any ally. The bad part is that Ribbit’s dot is overwritten by Kvasir’s dot, which doesn’t do much damage, but it still works if the attacker manages to shut down Kvasir.

I think I’m blind, I can’t see the raid tournament flag count

Bloody day in the office with my Yellow stack.

Had no chance in the first 2 against Dawn tanks and was just trying to salvage as many points as possible. Almost lost the 3rd against a Vollermork tank :scream_cat: but squeaked through and won the next. Couldn’t avoid another loss in the last against a Greel tank.

Defense is also not too hot at 1-2 (D), so I guess see you all next week! :sweat_smile:

Day Offense Defense Score Def Score Total
1 4-1 0-0 C 2,613 500 3,113
2 6-4 1-2 D 4,893 4,893

Better luck everyone!

The third day of the tournament brought me my first defeat and unfortunately of course worth 0 points… Well, sometimes the board is really bad…
The defense is fighting bravely and remains undefeated so far (11-0)

Tried Fawn for the 1st time but she didn’t do well, neither in offense nor in defense (probably cause “no green” war?). Found this tournament hard tbh, out already:(

So I just had a battle where the other team had a resurrection!!! So either they have a cheat code going or there is a problem with this round!! Disappointed!

Was it a superior revive?

Should not matter ! Rules state that no resurrection or healing possible! No means no!
