This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

Special Rule: Rush Attack

@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.

How many 3/90 Treevils is too many? We shall see in this raid tournament.

I’m tempted to push Bauchan for Rush just to take advantage of the mana cut and the counterattack aether skill that he has.

[Blem]

Here we go. Everyone’s favourite 3* rush tourney

Game Well

[Nightmare2048]

3/60. But yes, not looking forward to this at all.

[Roland56]

Oh damn, I need to level Greel and put him on flank for Treevil on defense .
Fun times this tourney…

[Liam_K]

If you LB2 Shrubbear, he’ll get a 4 turn taunt (but without the 2 def ups) to start the match. That might be enough to save the rest of your team from a bad board/cascade.

[Roland56]

True, but I currently save Alpha aethers, cause reasons…

[jwilsonsaid]

Just did that this morning I never found Shrubbear that hard to deal with on defence, but attacking against a bunch of AOE hitters, auto-taunt please!

[Ei-Dunn]

My little trees, they still grow

[Chadmo]

This tournament is great. I know I’m not going to use 75 gems to continue. Protecting my sanity is crucial. Best of luck all!

[LucasDaoc]

Definitely going LB2 Tree in the front with LB1 Greel and LB1 Tree flanks

Edit: probably put an LB2 Shrubbear in the corner for that instant taunt to fight a good board

[rebelsouljah]

Basil - Aqeela - Treevil - Zarel - Greel

That might just pis$ off people. Just be thankful that Ribbit is not invited to this party.

[BobTheSnark]

The only suspense in this tournament is whether I will lose to enough single or double Treevil teams fast enough to prevent me losing to the inevitable quintuple LB2 Treevil defense.

[Dzibong]

First thought:

[Spite_Girls]

Oh dear. Rush and no yellow. If alpha aethers dont make people quit, then this will. Especialy with the inevitable LB2 lvl 60 Treevils. Its been 1 mistake after another for Zynga as they try to make up the $560 million they paid SG for this bleeding game.
Anyway, on a geeky note, here’s my, more than likely, last ever tourney defence.

[Zule]

This is what I’ll be trying

[HJP]

My idea for now:

[leejow]

Might make it to Tuesday perhaps what a waste of time this weeks tournament will be for me.

[ApollosEmpire]

What’s up guys! Been a while and hope all of you are well. I wanted to see if I could run my rt defensive thoughts by you guys and get some feedback.
My 1st thought was this (with lb General Yin)

Here’s some other 3* heroes that I think could do well in this RT (especially after looking at what some of you have and the top 10 from the last one of these)

Any thoughts will definitely be greatly appreciated, ty!

[LiviaBanks]

Got these so far, not sure yet which to go with!
