Log & Guide to Raid Tournaments
A Log of past Tournaments, and an overview of how Raid Tournaments work, including Special Rules and Restrictions, Attacking, Matchmaking, Defense Grade, Scoring, and Rewards.
All you had to do was post the word “First,” @Guvnor, and we would understand. I almost thought they were already setting up for the next Raid Tournament.
On YouTube in the “Comments” section, you typically have that one person who always posts the word “First” to very popular YouTube videos as a way of saying, “Look at me. I was here first making business with the topic before any of the rest of you losers!”
I equate that with your jumping on the next Raid Tournament discussion without knowing authoritatively what will be the element restrictions or “Tournament Rule.”
Struggling a bit with this one. Advice welcome and appreciated @Vikingblood80 my brainstorming buddy, and of course @BubblesUK who has advised me on tons of raid tourney defenses before (btw, if you prefer I not tag you please let me know )
Only Yellows I have are below, plus Hu Tao (IMO too slow and I only have him at +1 anyway) and Wu Kong (can really punish a bad board, but is also really frail at +1…)
Yellow core of mana cutters, prioritizing higher mana cut of normal Li
Grimm to soften up the enemy (and with Rigard unavailable… people bringing costumed Melendor will waste his HoT and dispel, that leaves costumed Sonya…)
Scarlett for high attack and the Rogue talent
I was thinking of a Green in place of Scarlett, to discourage/punish those who would stack Costumed Sonya and Blues. I could put Jack O’Hare or Caedmon in that slot… or Little John, but slow in the wing won’t cut it, I think.
Other eligibles (leaving out healers):
Red: Gormek +9, Colen +2, Kelile +1, Lancelot +15
Green: Skittles +6, LJ +11, Jack +9, Caedmon +9
Yellow: Hu Tao +1, Wu Kong +1
Blue: Sonya costumed +15, Triton +7, Valeria +5
(Val is on iffy ground as she’s mostly useful vs. healers… Triton at least hits hard even though half his skill is wasted)
I set up this defense, holy straight. Was thinking to bring in buddy or Emblemed grimm, but not sure if this is of advantage.
what is the opinion for defense: regular li xiu or dressed li xiu?
thanks, appreciate your usual well-thought advice I might add Sonya in place of Grimm then, as the dispel (or cleanse) will still work - Triton hits harder but I lose the healing bonus. Probably cleanse, most buffers are also healers so dispel will be less useful here…
This. As @BubblesUK said would use her instead of Grimm and I am gonna do this.
I am totally fine with marking. Go a(sleepy)head.
Sonya costumed is the only cleanser this week working against : Kelile, Scarlett, Gormek, Falcon, Wilbur, Grimm, Peters, Hansel, Buddy, Gretel, Jackal, Mist(?)
See how useful she is while Paladin Sonya is almost useless this week. (Only against Boril and Wilbur).
