This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

Elements Allowed	Hero Rarities Allowed	Troop Rarities Allowed
No Fire/ Red	or lower	or lower

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.

[Kilted]

I’m a bit torn on this one. I don’t have any green buffers at 4star so I am considering going with a no buffs for you defence.

Probably being crazy.

Plan to use Proteus, Caedmon, LBKiril costume, Peter’s, Mist.

Proteus is only +7, the rest are at least +18

[pepeswine]

Do the health and mana stacks of Orla count as “buffs” when they are activated?

[Chadmo]

I believe they do, stacks should be good to go

[Photon]

Wren finally gets some action for tourneys

[Nightmare2048]

I think I will go Sapphire, Brynhild, C-Melendor, Ametrine, Jackal. Melendor tanking because he’s LBed and +20. Ninjas will hopefully dodge, counter and attack. Jackal is also +20LB so he should do some damage.

@pepeswine

Do the health and mana stacks of Orla count as “buffs” when they are activated?

Hopefully someone can confirm with 100% certainty, but I don’t think they do. I think that stacks are treated differently than buffs

[Liam_K]

Yes, stacks are counted as a buff

This was from a 5* Buff Booster and Yang Mai’s attack stack is one of the 6 buffs counted

So in the case of the Slayers, they get 2 buffs from their stacks

[u2371]

I will go with this defense.

[rebelsouljah]

Too bad Cillian and Aodhan can’t make this trip.

[Ranvir]

1st draft

I am still levelling Wren

[yoyotje]

First draft. Speedleveled my Wren for it. She felt weak without emblems but it was hard to test against map monsters or 5* as compared to 4* heroes. Some nice folks pointed out in the Wren thread that she’s pretty decent so I’m giving her a shot. cSabina, Proteus and Gulli could make the team but I wanted to go mono green for this one. Should level some troops for it though.

[WaVe]

I was thinking this

Brynhild really shines in this format, esp. when combined with sister Mist. Almur is also fast and gives green EDD, with 3 greens that should be felt. Add in caedmon for dispell and tibs for DD.

[Photon]

Here’s mine. I thought about a debuffer, but that would hurt Wren if Wren can’t hit multiple enemies. Marcel got added in case someone tries for an attack down.

[Luna]

My initial thoughts! I can’t decide. Mist + Brynhild combination to good to ignore. I’m hoping I can finish LB Almur. Any suggestions appreciated.

[Whiskey]

Ok got some options. Advice appreciated as always and hope others find help here too. Feels wierd not including lb-c-mel in the mix but he’s ready to go too.

Hansel here could sub in for green wabbit in the other set-ups.

And it this one the ninjas could be moved to wings and greens go to the center.

Thanks again and good luck!

[Luna]

I like your 2nd team but I’d probably put LB-C Mel on the right wing and put Caedmon on the left wing?! But then, I rarely score well in tournament defence!

[Luna]

Giving it a second thought - Ametrine is too good to leave out. I wish I had mine maxed but unfortunately she is sitting at 1:1

[Dudeious.Maximus]

Going with this…

[u2371]

Day 1

O : 5-0

Go with C/CB Caedmon, C Melendor, Mist, C Rigard/CB Sabina, Proteus in all attack. The board is average today. There is a bad board in 4th attack but I still win. Limit break on C/CB Caedmon, C Melendor and Mist make them much tougher. If the board isn’t very bad, I will not lose

D : 0-5

Simply “mirror” of my offense result for now
