I usually use a pig as a tank on no purp rush, but recently I got Jolly.
475 overheal + 10% hp from minion + mana gen + reducing damage and for a whole 6 rounds? That sounds amazing.
What do you guys think? Is it a bad idea to use him? Or I better should use a pig as always?
Am wondering if folks will be attacking—or even defending— with goblins (presumably, Goldie) even ”just” to lolnope enemy overhealing for free as a passive.
@aweew I suppose the question is how well Jolly will stand up to the initial wave of attacks. I see over in his thread that he can get up to 680/764/1530 or 680/800/1458 with full emblems & 2LB
My 1LB+costume bonus pig is 729/789/1800; obviously that would be bigger with 2LB.
Jolly’s buffs are formidable, enough that at least some S1 wizard Superior Talent (for free dispelling) would seem indicated against him.
Missing some obvious choices like Gullinbursti, Kalo or Franz, but I’m not sure if I’ll ever want to 2LB them, certainly not Kalo. Aethers are just too valuable to spend on something only usable in rush.
Initially I thought about bringing Xiahou Dun since I have him at LB2, but I decided to replace him with C2 Kiril. Since this tournament doesn’t have purple, the enemy won’t be able to use the most popular cleansers Rigard or Ana-Belle, which means they’re gonna be stuck with the -attack unless they use C1 Caedmon, C1 Sonya, Nova or an attack buffer. None of those are really popular choices.
My defense is probably the annoying sort rather than a very effective punishing team, but I’m pretty happy with this setup.
In going to try this. I have Franz and Colen, just never got round to levelling them.
I have Cilian, but I think Gormek will be handier with his buff dispel.
Unfortunately, I don’t have good LB2 candidates to defend during the 4* rush (such tournaments are simply too rare), so I choose “anyone” because I won’t get a good result anyway
It’s the best I’ve got… probably. I could sub Skittles for BT and put Mulgog in for Kilele. Or just straight swap Mulgog for Skittles. But otherwise all Skittles is doing for me is using her costumes for quest trials, and I feel the old girl deserves to try her jinx once in a while.
I had to put Goldie in my defense— and she’s not even maxed yet. Mostly for the Growth attack stat and the ailment reflect along with a good size heal. But sure, the passive erosion of enemy overhealing is a bonus.

Well I started makin matches and I tried to do best but no—(guitar,) then i finally set off Dawn and now I’m cryin to her minions sayin plee-eee-eeese,… plee–eee-eease
The soundtrack to my demise and not for nothin but I coulda done a lot better job if I had treevil but noh hoh hoh, no purple
Yeah, well, I’m hardly discounting that, given that the counter to Growth (and Wither) is….

…defeat Goldie before she fires/fires too many times? (possible, in Rush, I suppose, but at least as possible that every tile cascade makes her fire)…

or have Growth/Wither of my own?
i just finished m Shacklebolt, and just maxing Jolly to LB2, he won’t be ready unfortunately so I won’t use him this 4*, but I am interested in how well he performs for your defence
C2Li Xiu is the tank I fear most this tournament and I over-compensated when facing one in the 2nd match of the day. Brought in Shrubbear and 2 cleansers in cCaedmon and cSonya. The team + Franz and Gullin just couldn’t do enough damage, especially when the flank Brynhild and c2Kiril fired. Only managed to kill the tank.
The other 4 matches were easier. I usually had 2 overhealers in Gullin and c2Kiril. Besides Franz, the other attackers depended on the tank with c2Caedmon, Xiahou Dun, c2 Grimm, Sun, and c2Colen appearing the most.
Tomorrow I might try using Zarel for her Bard bonus. That will allow quite a number of my heroes to charge in 6 tiles.
This tournament will be a Gullinbursti/Lixiu hell and i’m jumping on that train
set defense with C.Colen - Gulli - Franz - Li xiu (the mana cutter, i think in defense she’s more effective than the silencer) - Frank
I would have tried Goldie, but she’s not maxed yet. As for Jolly, i think 4s have way too many dispeller/buff blocker options for him to be a real problem.
Finished the day 4-1. I’m using Jolly & C2 Kiril as my baseline, mixing the other three slots depending on the opposition. Haven’t lost a hero in offense yet, but the clock ran out against the Goldie healers convention with 9 cards still on the board (wish I’d had buff blockers for that one).
She is not really a big problem for me, I keep saying that regular is better and I’m not going to change my mind
My fight today against c2LiXiu on tank
That is literally nightmare opponent in 4* rush attack no purple. Decide to go with gamble team Jolly - C2 Li Xiu - Waddles - Kalo - C2 Li Xiu by replace C2 Kiril with another C2 Li Xiu. The start board isn’t good but I lose Kalo but manage to win as I get enough yellow tile to constantly silence enemy .
Now, I am at 55 raid tournament win streak now. Let see how far I can go .
I lost my first match to a Franz tank, in which I got no kills, so I scored 0.
I was just getting no tiles needed and I kept setting Franz off, I think he went off 4 times total,
You can also use someone like Merlin, Hansel or Waddles to block Goldie’s special. — as long as her ailment reflect is not up at the time anyway. So a dispeller plus mindless attack, say.
