Special Rule: Rush Attack

All Special Skills are set to Very Fast!

@zephyr1

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.

I can actually put out an exact copy of one of the top 10 defenses: Piggy-Frank-Franz-Ingolf-cColen. Everyone is +20 but only Piggy and Franz are LB (no not gonna waste aethers on slow 4* unless their name is Gullinbursti or Franz or Kalo)

Dare I tempt fate? Should I work Kalo in there somehow? What about cHu Tao, that uncleansable -50% heal + 30% blind almost feels too good to give up on. Choices choices choices…

@rho

I can actually put out an exact copy of one of the top 10 defenses

I did the “copy and paste” trick once… and I won’t try this trick again

[LucasDaoc]

The Treevil were pre-nerf, I don’t think they’ll be featured in so many, if any, top 10 this time.

[rho]

Was this pre-Kalo release? Surprised he isn’t in more top 10 defenses.

[Liam_K]

First Gargoyle event was also in May so think so

[LucasDaoc]

Mielikki tank or Franz tank… what to do…

[rho]

Definitely Franz. He’s tankier, and forces you to bring a cleanser and fire the cleanser first to get rid of that damage amp and buff block.

Mielikki’s attack down can be easily countered by not bringing reds (except cGormek to clear minions), or could actually be used against her by Marcel to flip it into an attack up instead. Also there’s now a 4* Skadi in cFrank, so any minion summoners are now at risk (Mielikki, Zhou Yu, Xiahou Dun, Anastasia mainly).

[Dzibong]

First thought:

[Aragorn_God]

[rho]

First draft:

Franz forces a cleanser, and red has none, so strongly discourages mono red unless attackers really want to chance it. Ingolf does decent damage and has built in mana control with that corrosive poison. Very likely to change though as I (over)think this during the day.

[Dudeious.Maximus]

First draft …

Maybe Marcle in for guillbursti for the mana up

[u2371]

My two Kalo aren’t max. So, I go with this defense. Let see if Treevil flank work well or not.

[Quiet]

I think I will go with this one

[LucasDaoc]

Bring red, it’s your best chance, but don’t let Mielikki cast…

Flipping between Ahhotep and Scoratek for right wing still

[Zule]

Hope you will enjoy this

[rho]

Ah I see what you did there, and I counter with my cSabina, Franz, and Ana-Belle!

[Zule]

That might save you, but on vf mode, you never know

[Kenji69666]

Never posted my def in here but will do this time for luck. Let’s see if that helps this time

[Rabiddogg]

Anna-Belle says thanks for all them buffs. Will fill my HP right back up to the top.
