Do you take notes when you play? I could never remember this much! Congrats on your good start.

Oh, I didn’t notice that. Thank you 
.
C Melendor and C Gormek can do that too.
No, but I didn’t remember all those when I finish that attack. But I try to recall it many time because I remember that I did many thing wrong . However, it isn’t hard to recall those moment because it is the moment that the overall battle is change. For some reason, I am usually able to recall those moment well. They are very useful to analyze if that attack team is really good or bad

Day 4
O : 4-1 (19-1)
My luck is end 
. Go with same tactic. The board is average by overall. Lose in the 1st attack against this team
The board is full of purple and blue from start to end. No much thing I can do . Enemy Anastsia tank fir second charge. Enemy Li Xiu resist my Hansel . And purple and blue tile keep falling no matter how many I clear them. At least I manage to kill tank. At the end, the battle end up with my C Kelile vs x4 enemy. They are almost die with about 400 hp left and my C Kelile is almost at full hp but the board still keep give purple and blue and my C Kelile doesn’t the thorn summon minion for like 5 turns in row. So, it not end like in @Dzibong’s video .
2nd, the board is also bad. There in only 1 green tile at start . However, it turn pretty quickly and tank is healer. So, I still manage to win with losing Hansel again .
3rd and 4th, the board is average. Against non-dangerous tank. No Problem.
5th, against Li Xiu tank. The board is good. No Problem as well.
With a single lose with only 1 kill, I think I will miss the chance to get in to the leader board again. Like in 182th raid tournament (4* no red bloody battle) .
Also miss JekylandHyde XXV medal again . I know I am not suppose to get in to the leader board twice in row .
D : 78.7% (30+)
Hold strong at A+ grade .
I am sorry if I make you all feel annoyed that I complain about not getting 25-0 and leaderboard rank while you all complain about getting kick out in day 3 .

So, after a few days of 0-1 defense, I now have more information…and am 1-4. I guess Mielikki is not the way to go for tanking in a no dark tournament!
Offense is going better. 5-0 today for 18-2 overall. I had a crazy match against this team saved by CSonya and the super druid minions. I had a hard time taking out Ferant because Caedmon didn’t want to charge, so by the time I got Ferrant off the board it was 3 against 1 with my CSonya left to deal with Kiril, Franz and Kalo. Amazingly, I was able to do it. The minions popped up as needed, I was able to cleanse Franz (and then Kalo pretending to be Franz), I took out Kiril with tiles and then was able to stall our Kalo each time he pretended to be Ferrant until I could take him out without riposte.
Super Thorn Minions FTW!

My defense is still at an A.
It seems to be getting attacked once per day and winning each time (except day 2 where it was attacked 2 times and went 1-1).

As people mentioned before, Druids are HUGE in bloody battles. C Sonya and Caedmon CB are my MVPs

Your account probably doesn’t have the tournament bad board illness or something? Bad boards never seem to apply to you on your raid tournament baords like ever. My boards on day 3 were trash, wish I captured them just for you to see if you could win with that, hell I’d even make videos as proof 
.
I did use them, but not every flag, I need to keep that in mind. I sometimes keep forgetting about those superior talents as they are still fairly new to the game.
Well at least I was wrong with defense so far, it went down to 4-4, but it came back to close A at 6-4, but will probablly go down to B. For Mist tank not awful though…

I think it is because I usually play with 3 colors. However, I remember that there is only one time that I get kick out in day 3 after get total 9-1 in day 2. It is one of the Treevil festival tournament . I think that is only a day that I get 3 lose . Otherwise, I never get 3 lose in a day.
It depend on enemy team as well. Double minion summoner help a lot. But if the tank is strong, I might also lose as well

So far, my best 4* raid tournament yet. I didn’t put up a bunch of yellows on my defensive team…instead, I just put up the best defense I had. Throughout the tournament, I also kept my attack team the same for consistency, and because the synergy worked well.
To summarize,
Offense = 17-8
Defense = A/B/B/C/ ?
Points= 16,162 … for now, Top 1%
I wasn’t going to buy back in until I changed my mind a few hours ago. So I did Day 4 attacks with about an hour left, and Day 5 attacks shortly after that opened up. Currently am ranked 1,604th. Hoping for some nice loot tomorrow.
My attack team was Wu Kong, Wilbur, Boril, Almur, and costume bonus Caedmon. Now that I remember, I did switch Caedmon in and out of costume a couple times (depending on whether I needed piercing strike or cleansing strike). All heroes emblemed and max Level 75, but only the one with a costume.
So I am very happy with the result. I did lose on the 25th attack, but none of my losses were under 200 points. Some were even up to the 300s and 400s in terms of points gained.
I did seem to face a lot of high level players (well, higher than my Level 52, anyway) and some groups with all Level 20 troops. But even if I dip down a little bit on the leaderboard, this will still be my best 4* raid tournament yet.
Plus the fact that my defense won an attack, about 10 minutes after the tournament started, put my defense on the right path.
Good luck on Day 5, everyone else…fingers crossed for nice RNG with our loot!

Day 5
O: 5-0 (24-1)
D: 0-0 (2-2) C/A/B/B/?
Very hard day, but without defeats. Second fight (Li Xiu tank + Mielikki flank) was close, but druids saved me one more time 
(I forgot to take CoD).
My opponents
Good loot tomorrow for everyone!

Day 5
O : 5-0 (24-1)
Go with same tactic. The board is average today. Face mostly weak defense today .
Only strong defense with Ferant tank with Anastasia flank in 3rd attack. Go with Grimm and Sonya instead of C Kelile and Hansel. The board is average. Lose Grimm but still win.
Both 2 last attacks (4th and 5th) are against healer tank . Only the 5th attack has a bit problem that it is C Kiril tank with double C Kelile flank and double healer wing . So, I go with double C Caedmon (take Hansel out). Almost lose my weaker C Caedmon who is survive with about 70 hp but after he get minions, nothing can’t damage him any more . Win without much problem.
D : 75.9% (30+)
Still hanging at the bottom of the leaderboard for now. I know it will not stay and I think I will end up at about rank 150-200 .

Went 22-3, very happy. Attack team was Hansel, Gretel, Kelile CB, and alternated costumes for Caedmon and Sonya depending on the tank.
Defense with Li Xiu CB tank was E,B,A,C,C. Not great but not bad either. The Druid talents were very useful. Motivated me to level up costume Chao since he is Druid too.
Now awaiting payday! Come on tomes!

Day 5
O:5-0 (23-2)
D Still 1-4 (E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E at least that’s what it feels like!)
Ranking 4667 at the moment (top 1%)
Not much interesting in my battle today. Teams that brought double ripsote were easy to play against (both Caedmon and Sonya in costume) and team that only brought ailment (lots of C Kelile) were easy because I could keep both Caedmon and Sonya in CB. The teams which were the toughest were those that I needed both cleanse and debuff. It allows me to bring both in Druid form for the minions, but relied heavily on the RNG getting me the tiles to charge both when needed.
I’ve given this a lot of thought. In general I don’t like playing three colors (I play almost exclusively 3-2) because tiles that only match one hero just don’t do much, but I probably need to try this a little more with the increasing importance of passive abilities (and especially against teams that really need counters). I’ve been playing around with more formations in my raiding and will probably incorporate that into my tournaments at some point. @u2371 has some of the most consistent raiding records on this forum, so it would be unwise not to learn something!

How does this scoring system works? I have 24-1 streak and 18153 points (B defence). I’ve looked youtube video where guy have same win-loss ratio but have 19482 points. >1300 points more than I have. how this is possible? dif between A and B defence is 250 points. from where does this additional difference comes from? this is my score
and this is a score from video I watched
video is here Empires & Puzzles 4☆ Bloody Battle Tourney Day 5 - YouTube

I play 3 colors a lot lately, even in war, but I’m just not that good I guess . There are players among us in this game that are just really good and I’m shocked how well they play, I’m just a fairly average player… even after almost 5 years…

250*4 is 1k points.
The other 300 either from better starting enemies giving more points or did you drop out of B during the week, could also explain it.
