This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

Elements Allowed	Hero Rarities Allowed	Troop Rarities Allowed
No Nature/Green	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.

Before and During the Tournament: Share & Discuss Your Teams, Thoughts, Feedback, and Questions!

Some topics to start off with:

• Do this week’s restrictions on hero/troop rarity and elements make your bench depth better or worse suited to this Raid Tournament than Regular Raids?

• Are there heroes you’re likely to use for this Tournament that you normally don’t make use of anymore?

• Are there heroes you plan to power level for this Tournament, or level before the next time a Tournament like this one rolls around?

• Do Costumes affect your team selection at all?

• What are you thinking about using for your Defense Team?

• Are there heroes you expect to see on Enemy Defenses that you think you’ll have a harder time dealing with than usual because of the restrictions or special rule in this Tournament?

• Which of your heroes will you be likely to use on your Attack Teams?

• Will the restrictions or special rule of this Tournament change your usual approach to color stacking or team building?

• Are there elements of this week’s Tournament that are unclear to you?

• Do you have feedback on the Tournament matchmaking?

Sticking with my guess from the last tournament, looking for it to hopefully start following a pattern:

[Feb 9, 2020] 42nd Raid Tournament! — 5* Bloody Battle, No Ice/Blue

If the pattern holds: 4* buff booster, no green

[zephyr1]

I have a good foundation for that

maybe irrelevant

[Guvnor]

Tanking Kiril of those?

[zephyr1]

Probably, but I’d consider Sonya or even Grimm.

[bobiscool]

say, if I have a green hero who’s highly emblemed, does that count towards my teams total TP for this tournament in terms of match-ups?

Also, do you guys think Boril tank is too passive? I mean counter attack is a buff too, right?

No, only eligible Heroes are supposed to count.

@bobiscool

It is, and he can be an effective tank. For Buff Booster you’d want to pair him with heavy damage dealing flanks to take advantage of the buff.

He also gets a little extra advantage now due to the soon-to-be-fixed Riposte bug.

[bobiscool]

Hey @Guvnor what are the numbers for next week’s lotto?

Hey guys, I’m not sure about the last member of my team. Any advice?

[snafu_piter]

Ok, and now the next lottery numbers please…

[Sabrar]

I’m glad that Grimm can play, he is a beast if a bit squishy.

[AngelOfDark666]

Hum… something like this…or Cyp instead of Tibs…

[MD-DC]

It’s times like these that I kinda hate costumes. My newly christened +20 Sonya would be perfect… if it didn’t lock her down for a solid week. Sometimes I need Viking Sonya and am not sure it’s worth preventing her from changing for wars, raids, and everything else…

[Guvnor]

@bobiscool and @snafu_piter I have no idea haha

Next week should be 5* rush attack, no yellow (last appeared on the 14th July, 2019)

That is if the pattern continues lol

[Guvnor]

This is where the double comes in handy

Have two of them, one mass emblemed the other not…

Emblems don’t play toooooo much of an impact on offence imo…

[Guvnor]

Tournament de Guv

4* buff booster, no greens

Last featured this combo in the 12th raid tournament (7th July, 2019).

Didn’t put a post up in that one about my defence so… Eh

Defence Team

First Pass

[Olmor]

Always good to have one dressed and another one naked.

My 1st setup.

[the100thmonkey]

Tempted to try

Woulda like a bit more speed in there though

[sleepyhead]

Should I go with this?

I also have a second Kiril that I can swap in. Maybe take out Valeria?

I never ascended Boril, so…

[ApollosEmpire]

Did not know that did that! Thanks for the unintended heads up. Thinking that it’s kinda lame imho , but having 2 does remedy the problem
