🏅 [Apr 9, 2019] 2nd Raid Tournament! — 3* Buff Booster, All Elements

[Garanwyn]

And it’s up

[princess1]

My defense team is 2178 with a 3 star trainer. I’m joining anyway

[ImperialThrawn]

This time i will ignore the raid. 3*… nothing for me

[Starlynk]

So what counts as a buff? Obviously the attack and defense buffs, but what about mana generation, spirit link? Anything else?

[Gereuth]

Counts this buff boost also for the enemy, if my team puts a buff on it? e. g. decrease in attack will lead to a buff in attack? Sounds a bit strange…sry for the bad english

@Starlynk

So what counts as a buff?

Any beneficial status effect.

This thread will likely be useful for a lot of people:

Breakdown of 3*/4*/5* heroes usability

Often I refer back to the post of @FraVit93 when players ask which 3* heroes are worth keeping or how to make up a good 3* rainbow team. Thank you again for the clear and structured post. It gave me the idea of creating the same line-up for 4* and 5* heroes. The Event, HOTM and Atlantis heroes have a bold font. Please adjust the list or add improvements where necessary. I did not include: The effects of elemental link. Many heroes their special effects include more than one sign…

@Gereuth

decrease in attack will lead to a buff in attack?

A decrease in attack isn’t a buff — buffs are only beneficial status effects like a boost to attack or defense, spirit link, riposte, etc.

[Gereuth]

thank you for the fast answer

[Starlynk]

@zephyr1

Any beneficial status effect.

Yeah, but I’m saying some of these are not so obvious. Gato’s status effect blocks negative status effects, but is that considered positive?

And spirit link could work both ways (the defensive buff that comes with it is obviously a beneficial effect of course, but the spirit link status effect itself?).

[_John_Doe]

for attack gunnar/kailani + brienne combo is the winning combo!

Agree. Brienne is going to be awesome in this event. Unfortunately don’t have her levelled to 3/50

[Rapisu]

I think I have a decent selection of 3*s. I just put any buffer I had in there and hope for the best.

Mnesseus and Belith aren’t trained unfortunately, so have only one good dispel option. Biggest question is Tyrum or Gill-Ra. Family bonus with Gato is nice, but Tyrum is a more reliable dispel and not so slow.

Both (spirit link and effect block) are considered buffs, since you can dispel them with buff-removing effects

[zephyr1]

@Starlynk

Gato’s status effect

@Starlynk

spirit link

Yes, both of those are buffs.

[yelnats_24]

Spirit link is 2 buffs from 1 skill.

I’m confused on which red shall I use… Do you think a healer will be needed? Do I have to level the troops?

[Starlynk]

Awesome! Thanks for all the answers guys!

Despite all that, probably not going to put Kailani on my def team, and just going to use good old Bane. Sure, Kailani will be awesome if she gets to trigger her special, but probably she’ll be dead before she uses it with slow mana.

[mpolo]

I don’t have any leveled 3-star buffers… So not going to benefit from the special at all… I mean, I have Gill-Ra and Melia, but I think Balthazar and Bane are going to do a better job of defending…

[ArthurE_P]

Do the attack buffs stack? So Kailani and Gunnar and Brinne are givin’ an enormous attack boost?

Edit: I guess Melia is also a “buffer”?

[Dwimmerlaik]

Buffers and dispellers will be good for this one.

And I am really looking forward to fighting newish players with +10 and more talents on their 3*.

[yelnats_24]

The bonus attack buff stack.

[Strooper12]

Have only Bane in my 3* roster, will participate with him!
