[Aabbott21]

Thinking this team but wanting to maybe flex in Dark Lord who is LB or Zekena. Unsure.

Edit: Swapped Hannah and Odin. Reason: If Hannah goes off sooner it’s a permanent attack down which which will help keep my tank/flanks alive longer.

[Wimster8]

First draft, want to add Poseidon +20 but Zekena is a killer too I think (and hope)…

[rebelsouljah]

Wondering if a Limit Broken Ferant would be good for this tourney. Thoughts?

[Gems_Bond]

Is this any good?

Should I put Gefjon in the middle?
Rest of my reds - Marjana, Mitsuko, Santa, Garnet.

[Remus_von_der_Venus]

Not knowing you’re roster I’d say stick with it. No point in using Mitsu without any blues in, same for garnet since there’s no healing. In general I wouldn’t recommend using a sniper as tank.
For this tournament fiend summoners are very valuable and Minion summoners as well.

[Slobix]

I will try with this:

[luckyluck178]

Elizabeth will own this tourney again. However i have santa only. Im going with something more deep with my poor roaster but thought up something pretty interesting.

Devna for potential dispel of taunt heroes and for creating powerful lynx minion
G.kong potential cleanser and pure dmg
Santa for minions and debufs +tank
Clarissa as very fast 30% def against special skills undispellable for WHOLE team as paired with reuben (both2020 family bonus)
And reuben for potential DoT cutting as it is bloody tournament and as second 2020 family member HoTM

[Remus_von_der_Venus]

Maybe a B’ish Defense

Mana reduction right when defeating the tank is always enjoying. Second level brings fiends and dodge-minions. Last level is just damage.

[Shunt]

Thinking to try this, let Elena charge faster at tank and give the other slows the counterattack. Zocc for mana control and the FB with Noor, and hopefully the minion makers can dampen the fiend makers.

I debated about leaving viv in costume but I figured the cleanse was more useful than worrying about her and Freya dupe overwriting defense up.

[BobTheSnark]

With the coming of the WEEK OF A THOUSAND ELIZABETHS, tourney attack teams will be what, five fast snipers and pray?

[Gems_Bond]

Let’s not forget plain and costumed GMs

[jinbatsu]

1st draft…

@Shunt, but Vivica one skill in is not working in bloody battle.

[WaVe]

Let’s try this:

Ferant is nasty with his manacut, Reuben+telly is lot’s of minions, devana for dispell and anti minion minion, and tibs for def down

Could also do Elena, but Ferants manacut is better imo. Scarlett or marjana.
Yellow alternatives: Leonidas, joon, vivica (costume, but healing is wasted), mist
Purple: Ursena, sartana

[Shunt]

I have become the people I make fun of

[anon60742279]

I guess this will be it for me. I didn’t spent enough to have chances on legendary tournaments

[Slobix]

Correction - stole emblems from some heros that I don’t use often anymore, put those on Devana, so I will be using this team:

Took mana node and now when I can charge her in 9 tiles, she is a different class of a hero offensively.

[Slobix]

4-1 attacks, 4-1 defence st the moment.

Opening boards quite bad today, and it was getting worse until 4th battle which I couldn’t turn around. It’s bad when this purple guy fires two times and you can just watch it.

Defence with Elizabeth as a tank had a good start so far.

[Liam_K]

5-0 start but it wasn’t easy. Went with a 4D-1N VF attack of Onyx - Hannah - Clarissa - Cristobal - cVictor. Everyone charges in 6 tiles but had 2 bad boards with minimal Dark tiles.

Match 3 ended with all 5 heroes in the red zone against a cGravemaker

The last match of the day was even closer. Luckily managed to ghost 3 Dark tiles to finish the wing Seshat

5* defense is always tough for me when Krampus is not allowed. Trying out Ferant as tank, and rushed Zenobia to 4-80 and limit broke her for this and the Mythic Titan. Ran out of ham though so she won’t reach her max stats until later in the tournament. But so far doing OK at 1-0

Good luck everyone. May you bloody your opponents before they bloody you

[Cheds]

Decent start to day 1. Defence doing better than I thought it would tbh
