The problem with non-rainbow teams are orphan colors on the board. Orphan color problems are reduced when fighting a titan since you don’t have to fight through 2- 4 waves of mobs leaving you with increased chance of large chunks of orphan colors caused by player matching ( Note 1 ).

Like learning the intricacies of raiding and war, learning the tactics for a double strong hero team is easiest, triple strong hero team is harder, double strong+ double neutral hero team is hardest. While double and triple strong can increase your board damage, it still helps to have a team of good heroes when using this strategy. Some heroes just suck and a best used for increasing board damage or meat shields to spread out enemy attacks.

[Play Style] What colors to level or Why do some players use 2+ heroes of the same color [Analysis, Math]- Updated May-08

Lessons learned:

-Center, single bosses are easier to accidentally kill.

-Count your waves. While it is nice to charge up all five heroes before the final boss wave, this leaves lots of the board colors you cannot use ( orphan colors ). Consider almost charging all five ( not fully charged ), but trying to remove any huge sets of orphan colors.

-Orphan dragon shields ( trigger ANY color adjacent, created with a match 4 ) are almost always better than Orphan power shards ( trigger only matching color, created with a match 5+ ). Orphan dragon shields will often do damage, since the adjacent colors don’t have to match, while Orphan power shards only charge up a Boss’ mana unless the Boss has less than 2 HP. If you are lucky, an Orphan power shard will cause a board combo/ cascade that will do damage.

-It takes practice, and luck, to set up a good board for the final boss wave when using only three colors on a hero team.
