No greens and rush means this will be the ultimate Treevil tournament. Though I’m curious to see if some of the newer heroes such as Jolly and Paeia will make an impact this time.

Paeia can swap Treevil’s attack reduction, mana slow and mitigate damage somewhat. She herself is also immune to mana slow because of her family bonus (it will immediately replace Treevil’s mana reduction). I maxed and LBed mine, though it was because she was cute. Now she’ll be handy though.

Wonder how the new Swan Lady will perform, given ‘no green’ :leaves: :x: stipulation.

Also, I assume, since it’s Rush, there will be task to defeat 25 heroes in Tourney for PoG, right?

Well, i am leveling Swan maiden and I just realised I have NO aether 1 for blue/ice, so I can’t LB1 her until the next Ice Mirages :sob:

Yep. Saving up all my ice aethers to get Thalassa limit broken ASAP. Also saving up my yellow aethers for toon Leonidas. Have to prioritize somehow, and it’s the 3* heroes who get the short end of the stick.

I recently used my ice aethers to LB1 for Loki (no Aether 1).

Gonna run this team. Danger of swan over writing owl tho. May run Dawn instead

3 Likes

Yeah, if Maiden fires then Owl’s dead weight. I think I’ll stack offensive heroes and Maiden. Buster instead of owl and second Treevil instead of Greel. Will most likely still use Paeia on offense.

If I had two Dawns, I’d put Swan at tank and double Dawn flanks, keep wings as is. Dawn-Swan-Dawn as a centre is essentially cheat mode.

I have no Dawns :frowning:

Do you guys think it’s worth using Swan maiden in defense even if she is not LB1 or Lb2? I have her at +20 for emblems, but I can’t limit break her unfortunately.

I do have 2x Dawn both LB2, I have an LB2 Treevil (and a Treevil LB1) and LB2 Jolly - and some other Lb2 heroes such as Greel.

You just had to say it, didn’tja? :crazy_face:

Might as well go for broke:

“What could possibly go wrong?”
“I’m 3.2 nanoseconds from retireme—“
“Let’s split up the group!”
“I am INVINCIBLE!”
“NANI?!?”

cough Had to get that out of my system.

I suppose the other thing we’ll start seeing this 3* Rush now is a Toonpocalypse….

Rolling this out. Good luck.

I will try this i guess.

Have to remind myself that there are no Nature heroes, and that Fire heroes will not be ideal tanks. Use Ice heroes.

…because I did that in the last couple of tourneys :man_facepalming:

I am on the fence what would be better and if I should LB2 Greel:

or…

One minor thing to take into account is that the dance buff overwrites everything, so Dawns Defense Buffs or the buffs by Jolly will be negated. Jolly only has his overheal and provides some backup as soon as the dancer lady is toast…

Lets do this. I thought about Gunnar but Swan Maiden looks broken until Gunnar gets his toon costume.

@Mr.Brightside07 Could you give me some thought simulation, the attack team, how will you deal with your own defence if you happen to face one ? (actually our friends’ defence teams above are also similar to yours) :thinking: :yum:

My init thought: Joukahainen, Zarel (actually i don’t have), Bear or SwanMaiden, Tree, Kvasir or Jolly

@Ufeel You can’t run Green, So Zarel and Bear are out of the question. Kvasir to deal with Dawn. Something like this perhaps. Ribbit/Jaco to be able to mana control. Swan to cleanse basically. and Joukahainen to dispel buffs.

Sorry and thank you!! It was 10pm in my time and i asked in parallel with some deadline work, so i really messed up with green :sweat_smile: :joy:

Ps I actually dont have ribbit and never have thought / looked about him before, thanks for the idea!!!

But in that case Azar C1 may be also good since she cut 3, albiet weak attack (i love her, but not LB2 her) – or Tree is still somewhat practical as to my roster since if he fire first, he also somewhat mana control

Would this setup with yellow tank and flanks not be an easy target for mono dark attackers?
