Today was kinda uneventful, just another day of fighting LB teams left right and center. However the last fight is worth mentioning because it’s another one of those “what were they thinking???” teams:
So this player thought “Yes I know purples are not allowed, but I still think my cBoril+13 is a better tank for bloody battle even though greens are allowed. I mean look at his stats he’s got over 900 defense!!!”
Anyway I shouldn’t complain about “easy” wins, this could’ve gone much different had cLX+19 been tank instead. Or honestly, at least dump Falcon and put her at right flank so she’ll hit much harder if Gormek fires first. But no she’s in wing position, and I can say she never even came close firing the entire match. Smh
I’m afraid we’re gonna have to wait for all aethers to come to have a meaningful defences again. Once people have limit broken heros in all elements, they might start taking into account tourney rules again.
I mean, I’m sorry, whatever blue limit broken hero you might have, it’s still fast dead with few green tiles in 3-2 combo… So, not the best choice for a tank when purple is not allowed.
LB boril + CB does not die in 6 tiles with a 4/1 green team without emblems (except for almur) and with troops level 1.
Honestly the tourney are much less enjoyable now…
It was already hard enough to fight full emblemed teams as of day 2 in 3*/4* tournament while none of your heroes are emblemed (except the 4* healers I use in war) but now this is becoming really taugh to make it to the top 1% since your defense is almost never attacked or only by enblemed opponent and now you have to face full emblemed + LB heroes
I’ve faced lots of LB defences… and no visible difference. 20/20 wins so far.
I’m not using an extremely fancy team… +20 mist 2 +6 grimms (replaced with one c mel when I need a dispeller) and either gormek +20 with c bonus and LB c colen +20 or almur +20 and c lj + 20 depending on strong and weak colours
Go with Mist - Grimm - Sonya - CB Skittleskull - C/CB Caedmon in all attack. I think they are safer than fire stack. The board is average today. Have challenged battle against this defense in the first attack
Go with Grimm - Sonya - C Caedmon - CB Skittleskull - Mist in order. The board is average. It start with about 10 blue tile but mostly under Caedmon and Boril. Then the board dry up a bit. I charge my Sonya but enemy Boril is about to fire. I have to wait for 1 turn. Then unwanted cascade charge enemy Caedmon and Carol. They both fire on my C Caedmon. And the next turn 3 enemy slash and kill him. Carol’s bomb is pretty painful it deal about 500 damage to my Sonya and CB Skittleskull. At least, that unwanted cascade also charge my Mist and Grimm. I fire Mist and Grimm on tank. Then some blue and green tile kill Carol and Sir Lancelot. I charge my CB Skittleskull but unwanted cascade charge Danzaburo. Danzaburo perform “Sword” hit hard and blind to all my heroes. He kill my CB Skittleskull and make my Sonya and Mist to about 350-450 hp. Then the board full of red and purple. I clear them in about 2 turn with red and purple diamond but the cascade charge Danzaburo again But this time, he perform “Bottle”. If he perform “Sword” again, he might kill my Sonya and Mist and I might lose
D : 48.5% (30+)
My defense pick up 7 lose today and fall down to grade C
Now I learn it . I think if I don’t have x2 average AoE flank, Wilbur tank isn’t great at all. Maybe, I have to emblem Jack O’hare and pull+emblem Agwe (or pull Marcel ) if I want to use Wilbur tank if purple or yellow isn’t allowed.
Lost the last one with 0 points not a single oncolor match.
Now I’m not sure what I should do, day 5 started already and I’m still 1%, so if I rebuy and don’t play super poor I should finish 1%, if not I’m not sure if I would even finish in 5%…
O: 4-1 (23-2); those moments when you really hate this game and wonder - why do you try? Lost the last battle against absolutely the worst defence I faced this week:
However, I could not gain the mana for my team. The ugliest battle I have ever been in - you do some matches, your tiles don’t show up, and you die slowly from slash attacks. Unbelievably ****** by RNG.
(yes it’s 4300+ TP team you’re not reading it wrong)
Damn slow down on those aethers man I can’t keep up!! Well too bad I went 4-1 green/yellow and beat the snot out of it. Only Kiril and Boril ever fired and that was largely due to tile placement. Ok I’ll stop being such an arrogant 455 now.
Only did 2 hits to finish my raid chest (2-0 so far), will finish the last 3 later in the evening and report back later.
You are fighting with emblemed heroes, I’m not and I can feel the difference.
It’s much more to snipe down a LB + 20 opponent than a regular +20.
I’m able to kill a +20 defender with just almur + peter(+0)/caedmon(+0) but I’m not against a a +20 LB.
That’s make a huge difference to me…
I may need to emblems 3* and 4* in the future to stay competitive and it feels like some kind of waste of emblems somehow:/
Tournament loot, especially top 5% and top 1%, gives you the guaranteed chance of getting more emblems and Aethers. Embleming your 5*s to win more raids just gives you more cups and random chest rewards.
Also, total emblems required for +20
3* - 233 (181 to get to +18 which is good enough for most 3*)
4* - 505 (395 to +18)
5* - 1500
Green-blue the whole day, worked great, boards where better than the whole week. Now only the loot has to be at least a little bit rewarding.
Had that team on the second day, with stones easy, without stones nothing you can do.
My hardest battle today was something similar, wu and 2 healers, nothing to fear in theory, but when wu fired suddenly all slash attacks killed one hero.
I’m not embleming 5* for raids but for wars and I prefer to have a deep bunch of 5* emblemed for diversity and variety considering the field aid and the opponent teams.
Now I may need to renounce to that if I want to keep reaching top 1% without being board dependent.
I’ll see what happens when all LB colors quest will be released and may start embleming 3* and non-healers 4*
So I really did my best to screw it up on the last day with 4 losses
Probably my worst day in a tournament in a long while. I’ll spare you the gory details other than say that there were some ugly boards and going mono made them worse.
Still, defense is a solid B (13-10) so will hang on probably to an undeserved top 5%
Result likely Top 5%. It really irks me that healers count for matching purposes on Bloody Battle tournaments. But, I chose to heavily emblem many of them to have better results in war/raids so I guess this is the result I get for that choice. I’m guessing my that sin on defense is not enough emblems for my matches and a bit light on damage. I wonder if just leaving all my healers in would have had a better result; it couldn’t have been worse than E!
Similar situation here, except some greens finally showed up at the end when it was far too late. Did manage to take out Boril but nothing else lol. At least not a BFZ, and firmly in top 1% no matter what happens.
But this time, he perform “Bottle”. If he perform “Sword” again, he might kill my Sonya and Mist and I might lose 
) if I want to use Wilbur tank if purple or yellow isn’t allowed.
