How are we feeling about Rufus in this tournament?!?
Also, what about c. Hawkmoon and cb Janghir? I have not seen superior sorcerer at work in rush. What are you all seeing?

I made the mistake last rare rush tournament discounting Treevil after their nerf. Now I’m wondering if I tank Treevil or Bauchan as usual.

So in the top 10 defenses above, 9 have either Treevil and Bauchan at tank. I’m not sure you can go wrong here! I’m going to put Bauchan at tank and flank with the tree.

I pretty much refer to my comment on the most recent Rush 3* tourney before this one.

As much as people comment on, or against, nerfs, it’s pretty telling when a nerfed hero is still plenty strong or heavily used — or in this format, arguably still really dang dominant.

I can usually win 3 or 4 out of 6 raids at mid to top diamond with my all 4* plus tree team that is pretty telling

Last 3* rush no green tourney I ran with this defense and had an unprecedented 100% defense grade over 20+ attacks:

This time I’m going to change it up just a bit and run this instead:

Yeah yeah it’s cheap and cliche and completely predictable I know I know, but I just want to win! :crazy_face:

I dont have Rufus leveled yet, but paired with a couple Ribbits, and Fianna, I think that combo will be relevant along with the tree meta.

Fianna, Ribbit, Bauchan, Rufus, Treevil ?

It is telling that the Tree can go romping in a 5* raid environment. Imagine a hero with the Tree’s special on a 5* stats chassis, even with the Tree nerf sheesh

In a 3* Rush tourney, I feel like even entering the tourney Tree-less is pretty much Charge of the Light Brigade.

Going to give this one a go? We’ll see :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I will go with this defense.

No blue mean no anti-Treevil C Ulmer team for me. It gonna be hard tournament :joy:.

So the question for me this week is Faiez. To use or not to use? I’m really curious how the Superior Delay will function here as well.



Note: obviously need to finish Rufus today!

Quite coincidentally, I’m running the exact same defence. Only difference is my left wing troop is at level 15. :joy:

Rufus and Ribbit would be perfect for this.

As for my defence…
I was thinking of adding Rekhetre where Sally is but nah, Rush is all about fast damage.

Think ill go with this …

First thought…

First draft for me, Ribbit will be finished in time.

I want to see how these slow pokes work out. Hoping to maximise the sun family bonus as well. It will be interesting
