3-2 today as expected. Tanks are getting more and more hard to deal with. A Toon lionhead tank decimated me in one of my losses, but managed to kill a couple enemies (not the Toon, left with a buch of hp cause that damn starting hp is insanely high). The other loss was because of those stinky construct heroes and their stinky core system. Luckily they were on the wings, so managed to defeat the central trio, some lucky evade from Quintin let me get rid of one the construct, a second needed lucky evade didnât happen and i lost.
Had a rough war both individually and as an alliance (we scored below 4000 points). Wasnât in the mood for long fights and opted for mono Purple (Onyx - cVictor - Darkfeather - c2Obakan - Khonshu) in 3 of the fights against Blue tanks (cSnow White + 2 Satoris) with 2 Yellows in the defense. Only switched back to 3-1-1 against a Ludwig tank to go 3 Yellows, and against a Cel tank to bring in Xiaotu and Grimble.
Surprisingly went 5-0. RNG gotta RNG. None of the wins were without a hero dying, but hey those 900 points count regardless.
Defense dropped back to B but should be good enough for a top 5% if I donât screw up tomorrow.
My last flag literally had no chance to win. I was against a mono blue team, and the very first move I HAD to make was a red tile and it cascaded and set off the tank and flank, from there no matter how many tiles I got rid of, I could not make a match I needed, I scored 0 on this.
I bought back in for the final day

Every day in this tournament i went 4-1, which is interesting.
Honestly, every match today I thought âoh damn, I have lost this oneâ especially since they gave not many good tiles.
The one I lost, I scored a 0.
Starwalker tank that went off twice, and a Changâe who went off twice too, . I ALMOST killed Starwalker, Changâe and pepperflame (wing) but not quite unfortunately.
Rank 4137 right now but I am confident I will drop to the top 5%, my defense truly did bad unfortunately.
Weird last day of attacking strategy. Got more conservative as the day went on and the chance of top 1% increased.
Started off like yesterday with mono in the first 2 matches. Went mono purple against a tMagni tank flanked by Changâe and Pepperflame. Wasnât pretty but won it with c2Obakan the only survivor of my team.
Switched to mono Yellow (Willow - Jana - cGuin - c2Li Xiu - Anne) in match number 2 vs Nautica with Scorpion Lady and cAnubis flanks. Another close match but this time the opposing wing Sparklight was the last elf standing.
Faced double Purple flanks in the next 2 and took Anne out and put c2Obakan in for the riposte to go with cGuinâs Purple reflect. Again, win one and lost one while killing 3 defenders.
Last match was against a Shacklebolt tank. Went back to my more usual 3-1-1 attack, replacing cGuin with Xiaotu because of a wing Waterpipe. Got a bit of a scare when a cascade of Yellows charged Shacklebolt up without outright killing him. Eventually came down to my c2Obakan countering everyone to death.
Tl;dr 3-2 on the last day with 2 close losses to finish 19-6 on offense.
Defense is back down to C today (11-12) after 3 straight Bs. Currently in top 2k with a chance to stay in top 1% especially if defense can pick up a win or 5.
Somehow made it to the final day for the first time after months of horrific tournaments, donât exacly knowing how, considering i had to rely on vanilla Domitia to dispel the beasts in the last rounds in order not to waste a spot for a useless healer. Went 5-0, 5-0, 3-2, 4-1. Today was 3-1. The third victory was a plain and simple miracle. My team was butchered, only three alive with a breeze of hp left, the enemy was all standing. Then a nonsensical cascade literally managed to kill all but an Alasie left on the wing (they even had the defense up buff from Vivica, if i recall correctly, it was insane) and i snatched the victory. The following match rng took his revenge with Anne scientifically attacking my heroes in order, from the one with the most health to the ones almost dead. No miracle saved me.
Defense is 2-3. Momentarily in top 1%, will probably drop down.

A tough tournament as expected with my Greens not allowed. In the last 2 days, rode my luck going mono multiple times. Defense did better than I thought it would and contributed just enough to get into the top 1%.
