Advice, tips for my 3-4 * heroes and 2-3(&5) * troops

At present my 2 * troops most comfortably facilitate tounament use of up to two red and yellow 3 *s and one each of purple yellow and green.

Having prematurely invested in a purple 4 * conversion to a 5 * troop, I’m strapped for purple feeders, but my 3* troops need a lot of work as well.

How would you go about using these troops and heroes?



With 4 * hero tourneys, I’m tempted to drop purple and focus on maxing a yellow and green support troop and a second set of blue and red support troops. I love using Proteus but I mainly use him in wars for finishing strong war teams when a ghosting lane can be used.



What hero combinations would you use in tourneys and which roster developments would you make?

I’d be sure to get two of each color, 2* and 3* to cap. Most defense teams have at most two of a color. Then I’d worry about 4* and 5* troops.

I wish I had done that, but instead had followed advice into getting a mana troop to 26 and then on to this:

I’m currently levelling a purple hero as a future purple war tank who will fit with the slower mana bonus of the 5 * troop, levelling 5 *s can be achieved relatively quickly, and I’ve had a priority is to support my alliance in war.

But, only being able to use 5 heroes at a time, I was wondering about the potentials to use 2-2-1 and 2-1-1-1 formats.

In 3* tournaments I almost always use a 3-2 defense. So I have at least 3 two star troops at level 10 or higher. Not sure if that helps your question, but it works well for me. When I don’t do a 3-2 it’s typically to bring a MUST hero., like Dawn or Buster or Felton or Treevil. Some heroes are super useful and they are what could change my 3-2 mind.

For defence I’d recommend rainbow if all colours are available and mono, or 3-1-1 (if blue, green, or red are banned) or up to 2-1-1-1 (if purple or yellow are banned).

In offence I’d question the use of a third hero of a colour, if that colour was not strong against the tank and if that hero was not used with a highly leveled troop.

I need to consider the proportion of raid tourneys that allow rainbow.

So far I’ve just got to lv15-lv15-lv10 in yellow and plan to work exclusively on all but purple on which I’ll just give a bit of attention.

A review of raid tournaments indicates that rainbow is (all elements are) allowed in:

3 in 10 3 * tourneys (30%)
(with excluded colours p1, y1, b1, g2, r2)

3 in 11 4 * tourneys (27.27%)
(with excluded colours p2, y1, b2, g1, r2)

2 in 12 5 * tourneys (16.66%)
(with excluded colours p1, y2, b3, g2, r2)

for 3 * tourneys:
no greens favours blue defences which favour blue, purple and yellow attacks,
no reds favours green defences which favour green, purple and yellow attacks

for 4 * tourneys:
no blues favours red defences which favour red, purple and yellow attacks,
no reds favours green defences which favour green, purple and yellow attacks.

I’ve a lot of work to do, especially on my 3 * troops.

Totally agree @Gerg . My offense is always three-two, defense always rainbow or 3-1-1 / 2-1-1-1. I type before I think sometimes. Levelling 2 star hero was also for the 1 star feeders. With the easier levelling of heroes it’s a LOT easier.

Cheers!

Progress, I’ve got to the stage where I’ve a bunch of 1* troop feeders and 2 more 4 *s ready to convert.

(I should swap Blossom and Vivica).

Conversion on the red troop to a cleric-fighter lego seems good option as it fits with avg Blossom, slow c Elena (poss for rush when levelled), and Boldtusk.
(other options are: barbarian-druid, monk-sorcerer, paladin-rogue, and ranger-wizard).

I’m less sure about the green troop. The monk-sorcerer combo works with Sha and Shrub while the ranger-wizard combo works with my freshly levelled Bo & Runt, (c1) Liana, Evelyn, Zeline, and c1 Little John. (I’ve a lot of healing already with Blossom and Viv, I’m low on green aethers, but could scavenge emblems for B&R). What would you do?

My plan for conversion is to convert the troops after a war and level them after matchmaking. I’m guessing that I should do one troop after one war and the other troop after another, or how quickly can it go with 9120 red xp (for lego lev 14) and 8080 green xp (for lego lev 13).

Following the red troop with this at 6582 "power!:

how does this at 6572 “power” fit in:

Which yellow troops could I best work on?

I was silly, when ninja troops were first released, to have started levelling two, but I’ve a magic rroop ready to invest in, or some mana troops potentially convertable.
