Defense positioning

This is my current team. I’m at a loss as to what the optimal positioning is. Kiril, Rigard or Li in the middle? Healers at flank or wing? I’ve searched the forum but it seems advice is specific to party makeup. Any advice for this setup? Thanks in advance.

I have a fully maxed scarlett on my bench. The rest of my current maxed heroes are 3 star.

Welcome to the forums!! Traditionally azlar is almost always well suited for tank BUT I dont know how he compares defensively to maxed Li xiu at 3-70. I’d go kiril -caed- Azlar/li ( whoever has higher def)-rigard- azlar/li (whichever has less) but if they are close I’d tank azlar.

Healers can be almost and position depending on their def stat, rigards stat being low I’d take him out of tank asap.
Nice positioning for kiril, you almost always want your buffers on the “left side” , in case you are unaware, if you are being attacked and have multiple heros charged the order with always go left to right.

Hi @ImaSuriDondai and welcome to the forums.

You are correct, advice on defense teams is very linked to the team itself, but there are some general ideas that are common across all teams.

I personally would swap Kiril and Rigard and Li Xio and Alzar. Here is why:

  1. The AI fires specials from left to right. Rigard will clear your team of any attack debuffs before any of them fire. Kiril will only partially do that, erasing only attack penalty debuffs by overwriting with his buff.

  2. You want your tank to have a high def, which both Rigard and Kiril do, but you also want them to make the enemy suffer for attacking them with tiles. Rigard doesn’t do this. Kiril does this indirectly by adding an attack buff.

  3. I would get Azlar our of the splash damage area. With his low defense a few tiles + a special attack equals death. Also Li Xiu will fire more often, and whenever she does she penalizes the enemy by setting their mana back a bit. She has much better def and can take the splash damage much better.

I like Cead where he is to clear the enemies buffs before the other hitters fire.

1&2 can be argued either way I just happen to like Kiril as tank better, I do think 3 is an important change

I’d use li xiu as tank to get her mana cut going as often as possible with Kiril to her left for attack buff and Caedmon to his left for dispel. I like where azlar is. He’s slow mana so the closer to the front he is the faster his mana charges due to being hit with tiles and Rigard is fine on the right.

I agree with @General_Confusion s analysis, kiril is a great tank and still keeping azlar and Li right of kiril , you still get most of of kirils ability.
