I can’t decide between
Option A
Or Option B
Anybody able to logically talk me into one over the other? Thanks @MD-DC for talking me out of Oberon, I like your reasoning

I don’t think this format favours the Bat in particular. As others have said, there are some heroes that shine here, but I think Bat doesn’t. At Vfast the special is likely to fire too early for maximum damage.
I would really like some input here… I have no useful purples. These are all my heroes.
Any advice guys, pretty please with a cherry on top? @zephyr1 @Guvnor @MD-DC

Too much red initially.
I would try:
Ulmer → Berden → Gunnar → Jahangir → Brianne
You’re lacking severely in options 
too much blue and red haha

Yeah ikr 
So no healers? And Im guessing Brienne in normal form not costumed, cuz Ulmer does def down already? Thanks for your input.
That would be my verdict.
You can put Costume-Hawks in for Ulmer if you want & then use costume brianne but…

Making sure I’m seeing what the options are, to start, since they’re sort of hiding in the screenshots.
- Ulmer +1
- Costumed Hawkmoon +3
- Gunnar +1
- Jahangir +1
- Azar +13
- Berden +7?
- Belith +8?
- Costumed Brienne +0
- Valen +1
- Nashgar +0
Corrections? Omissions?
belith is 6 i think. berden is 7. two nashgars. namahage is at 6/8 Gunnar has a costume but is at 1/1 right now. could maybe bring him up to 2/1 or even 3/1 later on in the tournament for some costume bonus.

Bring on the Bat (Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?)
Missed a week of tournaments, especially with a poor performance last time. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve figured out why my win percentage isn’t as high as others - I get frustrated too easy. I lose one so I pick my next team too fast and lost and then just go through the motions and I’m out. I think I’ll have to try to impose a new rule - if I lose a battle, I stop and come back.
I digress. I still have not put emblems in my 3*. I’m starting to focus on my main defense team having spread out as far as I want for now. 3* are just not in the future, but I have my high troops so I’m happy.
Got to go with Gill-Ra as tank. She seems the best in this event. And what is that signal in the sky? It’s a call for guardian bat! He’s new and I want to try him. I’m placing him on the far right so maybe others might be killed before he strikes.
I have avoided healers in rush tournaments in the past but I’m going with chief Hawkmoon. Let’s see if this strategy works. But by doing that, it means I can’t use Gunnar or Brienne - just not enough attack. So I’m bringing in Jedon, em Hison! And Gato! Gato also gives me a family bonus but I’m not counting on that.
So here we go. And like LoD back in the day, what a rush!

@bobiscool allow me an opinion here. 
Go with a Gunnar tank. Whether costumes or not, he offers a decent punch.
I’d also use Chief Hawkmoon. She could be flank or wing. I would say flank and on the left - get that boost faster and before others hit.
Ulmer is good too. I just realized I didn’t use an AoE. I may have to fix that. He does defense down too so make him a left wing.
Jahinger is another good hero. Maybe right wing since he doesn’t have any other effect. He can be a final knock out.
So now, right flank. 
I’ve got two choices for here. One is costumed Brienne but it doesn’t feel like a good spot. The other is Berden but he’s a sniper. So offense or support, your call. I’m leaning Berden for more offense.

much appreciated! Just a small question, how come you guys have those small element symbols on your cards and I don’t?
Okay. I’m asking for help myself now. This seemed good, but I’m missing an AoE. I could pull Hisan for Ulmer - that’s a good position but then I’m double blue and no green. I could move Hisan to Gato’s spot.
Any thoughts? Assume I have all 3* except Bauchin and Shrubear.
Color blind mode. I prefer the look. Without it, the tiles are a bit dull for me.

I’d be tempted to try:
Valen - Brienne - Azar - Ulmer - Berden
or
Ulmer - Belith - Azar - Berden - Valen
or
Jahangir - Ulmer - Belith - Azar - Valen
None of them is entirely ideal, so I’m torn on which to suggest.

say, if I take off Azar’s emblems right now, will I end up with weaker opponents? Or is it too late? 
I believe the matchmaking for that is determined based on when you hit the Join button — that seemed to be the case from past experiments.
So I think it’s too late, judging by your screenshots.

Id like to piggyback off that question, and answer with a technical question of my own @zephyr1
Pre Tournament start you can obviously do anything to your team defense.
Once the tournament starts however, what can and cannot be changed ( level up heroes, emblem heroes, troops leveling) ? I have come to understand that troops are locked in once the tournament starts, however I’m not sure if that’s 100% accurate now.
I’m low on ham and I am asking because I have to prioritize troops if they still cannot be changed after the start.
Thanks!
With about 4 hours to go, I’m leaning this way now… My other option was/is gato in place of Azar - Azar- Mana cuts gato protects from status effects- cutting Mana seems to have a very important role in rush attack- but I have chocin too which would overwrite Azar- could I get some feedback please?
EDIT-
SS with gato there
Weird that it’s the exact same team power??? Could be the difference of Azar with emblem and 2* troop VS gato no Emblems 4* troop
They don’t overwrite — Chochin reduces mana generation.
Azar directly cuts existing charged mana.
