Special Rule: Buff Booster

Each buffs adds an attack multiplier!

@zephyr1

Buff Booster adds a stackable 20% attack buff to each hero for each active buff on that hero. Using heroes with special skills that grant buffs or multiple buffs can lead to very high attack boosts. These buffs stack with each other and normal attack buffs.

[Andrewbook]

Looking at this crew probably. I can’t decide who I want to tank.

[Dzibong]

@Andrewbook

I can’t decide who I want to tank.

Tank is the only character on my team I’m really sure about and that’s… cTiburtus!
I really recommend it to you.
Gormek’s disadvantage is his natural (blue) enemy - Kirill, which will quickly deprive him of the ability to counterattack (superior dispell), and possibly also other buffs…
However, I can’t decide which second healer to take. The first will heal for turns (probably cRigard like yours), but such healing can be easily dispelled (Sonya, Caedmon) or even completely blocked (cSabina)
My first thoughts are:

Which defense looks better?

• with cbBT
• with Brynhild

[Roland56]

Idk. C Tibs only viable tank for me, the rest I have no idea. Well, I always put CC Caedmon everywhere I can as he is 2x LB. Ingolf is my only slow 4* I LBed, but he feels more punishing than Meadow or Sergei, which also are a lot faster to charge. More than 1 healer in def is not something I agree with, I think only 1 is needed + Caedmon and Tibs with superior paladin healing can cause problems too.

[Rafi]

I’ll go with this full S1 double costume team.

With thé super talents, they are kind of OP!

For example cyprian has 45% chance to get 507 HP After each hit

If hé has Time to lauch his CS, hello get 30% damage reduction, hello help Rigard to boost his HP, and Caedmon could also heal him with his talent…

Good Luck to kill him without yellow!

[Roland56]

CC Cyprian seems like a tough cookie. Don’t have him sadly. Seems to be an amazing tank in general not just for this tourney.

[yorkaturr]

Going with this:

I have C2 Cyprian but haven’t leveled up even the base character. C2 Rigard is a must for this tournament I think.

[Rafi]

I juste finished levellin cyprian, I gonna test it as War tank too

[Ei-Dunn]

Just fresh LB2 Tib, I’d like to test him here.

Edit: not sure about it, looks too reddish, maybe swap Sabina with BT… but there will be 2 reds next to each other, maybe swap with Cad also, but there will be two healers. It’s hard

[sergione22]

this defense should work…

[notyou87]

This is who im going with

[Beendead25]

[Holodigm]

[Dudeious.Maximus]

First draft

[u2371]

I will go with my standard 4* buff booster defense

[Dzibong]

And I have the wrong version of Tiburtus… because I forgot to wear the costume

[notyou87]

Day 1
O: 4-1
D: 0-0 (for now)

My second match was simply a disaster, I would get a trickle of tiles, just a few (green and purple) but never enough to cause much damage, but it would constantly be setting their specials off, I eventually killed their tank (cRigard). I swear their slash attacks were hurting me a LOT.

Oh well, It could have been worse, I almost lost another match because of the lack of tiles but just as i thought all hope was lost, it gave me a few diamonds for each colour

[Roland56]

O - 4-1
D - 0-1

Just complete disaster. My boards were horrendous whole day and not to mention faced first ever CC Rigard LB2 just on day 1 on tank. You can’t do anything against him. Too Op. You can get rid of his abilitiy and def up with superior wizard talent, but he just blocks 100% of the ailments, I really wonder who will beat him, mainly with 2x LB… 2x LB and some secondary costumes seem to be completely ruining 4* and 3* tournament territory that I used to love. Ah well, that 1 tourney in 10 I’ll be top 1%… Yeah, pretty much. And def sucks so far of course.

[Liam_K]

LB2ed my c2Grimm for Towers and Events, and the side effect is that started facing multiple LB2 defenses from day 1.

Went with 3-1-1 stack today. Mainly used 3 Greens of Anton - Brontes - c2Caedmon/cCaedmon + c2Rigard + cKelile. Only switched to 3 Reds once (Anton - BT - Junaid - c2Rigard - cKelile) Vs a defense with a Ptolemy - Tettukh - Brynhild middle 3.

Boards were good today, especially with Purple tiles. Once I can fire c2Rigard, the boosted health can absorb even the strongest slashes. Don’t think I lost any hero today. Hope it continues the rest of the week, though none of today’s defenses faced had truly ‘scary’ heroes like c2Cyprian or c2Rigard.

Defense is 1-1 so far, and expecting to be hit hard too with the increased TP of 4722.

Good luck everyone!

[notyou87]

I have him as tank, c2 lb2, and im 0-1 for defense. Not to say they didn’t struggle, we never know. Id love to see info on how many of your heroes died and theres (for war, raid defense and tournament).
