Good start offensively, but I have NEVER had good defensive results in this tournament, so the overall result probably won’t be good this time either…

Not the most auspicious of starts to the tournament, losing right out of the gate against a 3 Toon defense.

Went with what I consider my best attacking option this week of Dabria - Ferrus - c2Obakan - Darkfeather - Khonshu. Usually go with Mariol but she’s not allowed so chose to go with a Reviver. Was a risk going 3 Purples with tJustice doing extra damage against them, but believed (naively) that my Purples would charge before a Slow hero. Did manage to kill tJustice with tiles at least.

Things got better after that and won the next 4. Faced all Red tanks today and didn’t change my attack team much. Only bringing in c2Li Xiu in the last match to dispel the DF and Gastille in the defense. Got 9 Purple tiles and didn’t need her in the end.

Defense has started well with 2 wins and a loss.

Good luck everyone!

My battle results balloon has already been inflated very much… Now I’m just waiting for it to burst, because the longer the series of victories lasts, the more painful my fall will be :scream:


10-0 results in 5* tournaments simply don’t happen to me (you can’t achieve much with LB1 heroes) and I’m afraid of the series of inevitable defeats that are already following me…
As expected, my defense proudly displays an E rating (0-2) :wink:

Good luck everyone!

Going to be a short tournament this week. Without Rush or Bloody Battle to prevent healing, my attacking heroes don’t have the firepower to punch through the new gen heroes backed by Legendary troops, or the durability to outlast them.

2 losses today, both against Vanya tanks. Despite him being slow, could not take him down before he healed and put up his Mega Minion. Only killed 1 of the 10 defenders.

Defense still doing well at 2-2, but don’t see much reason to buy back in tomorrow.

Guess the game wants me to play the tournament a bit longer :grin: 5 wins on Wednesday was unexpected. And can’t blame the matchmaker as 3 of the defenses were over 7000TP.

Most of the time went with similar 3 Purple team (c2Obakan, DF, Khonshu), and switching the other 2 spots (Ignazio/cGuin/Cardinal, Ferrus/Xiaotu) depending on the defense. Did go with 3 Red (Ignazio - Ferrus - tMarjana - DF - Torben) against a Garten tank.

Defense is more itself now at 3-6 (D).

Run of good boards and luck continued today. Needed it too against 7000+ teams. Same tactic as before, get Darkfeather charged and hope for the other heroes to do damage to the correct defender. Lost Khonshu a couple of times as he’s fragile against the current crop of heroes, but not before he did his job of sniping the most injured target.

Un4toonately got matched up against a tSartana - tObakan - tLeonidas - Lemonwood - tLianna defense in the last match of the day. Went with a cGuin - Ferrus - Obakan - DF - Khonshu attack, Couldn’t get cGuin’s reflect up before she got sniped by tSartana. Did manage to kill 3 of the 5 defenders for 500+ points.

Defense is E (3-8) and going to wait and see how far my ranking drop before deciding whether to buy 5 more flags. Currently in top 1% (3099) and might be tough to stay in top 5% (30k).

Ranking fell into the 20,000s and wouldn’t have stayed in top 5%. Bought back in due to that and with so many PvP challenges in the PoG.

Won the first 2 matches but lost 2 of the last 3 against these teams.



Without good boards, chances of winning were fluffed out quickly. The 3 wins were worth almost 960 points each though and will be enough to end up in top 5% regardless of E defense.

Good luck with your last attacks and with the loot tomorrow :four_leaf_clover: :crossed_fingers:

I clawed my way into the top 5%, but it’s really depressing to see that everyone and their mother has maxed legendary troops nowadays and I still haven’t managed to summon a single one. This time I pulled 50 times with no luck. Oh well, it is what it is.

Looking for an answer to this question and it’s been mixed feedback so far.

Is there a limit on the amount of buffs that can be active on a hero? I’ve seen a very large amount of buffs on heroes lately and am just curious if there is a number limit?

Appreciate anyone who could help with this.

Final results
Attack: 19-6 (43543)
Defense: 3-8 (ADEEE)
Score: 20,470
Ranking: 11,377 (Top 5%)
33-tournament moving average: 633-159 (79.9%)

The last time this tournament ran I finished 15-8 so that’s an improvement, even though defense is worse this time.
With my roster, 5* tournaments are getting tougher since my 5* heroes and Legendary Troops are geared towards Events and Titans rather than PvP. Most of the time, it’s just about hoping for a good board, and even then it might not be enough.

Loot was pretty bad this time.


3 3* tournaments and 1 4* for the rest of August. Should be more competitive :crossed_fingers: See you all next week for a 3* Bloody with no colour restrictions.
