Ferant is unique, still a pain : Dispel solutions!

After long time of war defence domination by DARK tanks, 4* Ferant has created FEAR, dominating war defences since few months now.

  • Despite his recent re-balance (nerf), he still rules strong.
  • Last war, I personally, first cleared 3 - non Ferant tanks (OSKs) & then hit 3 Ferant tanks (1 OSK & 2 fails)
  • While all play depends on tile availability, Ferant made me feel, as if I was playing the rush war.
  • His strong flanks made, taking out Ferant even more URGENT, else, him firing, will slow my team, give his flanks extra time to charge up & wipe out my team = isn’t that RUSH war memory?! :rofl:

Been thinking about 6 dispel solutions from existing roster, specific for 6 Ferant defences :

  • While I understand there are many dispellers & I have a good number too. Both Healer dispel & Hitter dispel. Having them ready, to do the job & not die is the key.
  • Healer dispel is good but unable to convince myself to emblem / LB the 4* healers at this moment.
  • Two Season-1 names pop out as good solutions : Sonya & Caedmon. Time to LB them with +20 emblems & make them beefy for this new job.
  • Since, they will stay relevant, ever, Plan to get a 2nd copy ready…whenever they show up in summons :smiley:
  • Solutions are always lurking around…

What is your plan / strategy… How are you dealing with unique Ferant tanks ?!

Thanks.

He doesn’t really have direct counters and the only effective way is to shut ferant down even before he fires with either mist or malosi. Or get your dispeller ready, but this still requires a decent board. Very tough tank, basically guin reborn as this guy
Or just use seshat, she’s foolproof against him. Bonus if you have her costume

If Ferant is in tank I think C Sabina is still the best solution for him.
If he is part of a double tank formation or in the back row I will use either Lu Bu or Dioachan depending on the other heroes.

In tournies where I can’t use purples I stack blues because that guy has got to go down quick.

c. Sabina, Malosi, Kageburado, Ametrine, Sonya, Zocc, Devana, few others. In a nutshell, it’s dispellers, blockers, mana controlers.

Totally agree with: Has to go down fast, else, when he fires, he turns his opposite team into a slow / very slow speed team bcoz of the colour stacking (3-2, 4-1, mono).

Hence this post = searching for fast paced dispel options, easy to get…

I try to charge Mist/Malosi before him, dispel him with Sonya, killing him with blue tiles or Griffin/Zagrog.

Kiril - Mist - Griffin - Sonya works wonder on 4* tournaments.
It’s when blue or yellow are disabled wich is tricky.

Blue to kill, yellow to suppress. Dispel is still not a good option to face him, especially if he is teamed up with 2 other wolves. They at least have the decency to not create another 4* wolf.

Well yeah, but I have yet to see him with Bertwulf on 4* tournaments :stuck_out_tongue:

Hansel could do it. Better to suppress, and he’s fast.

Yeah, if Blue is not available in 4* tournaments, then Green is the fastest even if the tiles won’t do much damage. Hansel, Peters, Tettukh, Melendor, Caedmon are all possible counters

Healer dispeller, the type that heal first and then dispel, works better.

  1. No counterattack damage
  2. Your team gets some healing
  3. Ferant gets dispelled last. The mana cut won’t affect your healer dispeller cos there isn’t any mana left to cut after activation.

C Sabina is best. For 4*. Need Lb and full emblems.
C Mel is next. Again with lb and emblems.

C Vivica is good too. With magic troop 30, becomes 9.6 tiles.

The attackers that dispel first then damage, are better than the ones who damage, then dispel.

The answer may be Iris. Fast - so it may be possible to fire her before he activates. And for 3 turns he is switched off and has to charge again.
Increased damage to fire is only a bonus.

Yup if the board is in my favour. Iris does the job beautifully. If she fires. Iris only dispels 1 buff. Not both buffs.

Think block or silence is more effective, options permitting.

Once Ferant fires, and I get desperate, Iris goes in. She dies most times before she can leave that dispel ailment. Or maybe she did. I try not to remember such situations.

Iris dispels buffs from target & nearby enemies @ the end of each turn for 3 tuns = maintains no new buff for 3 turns…
But
Yep, if taunt is on, then it needs another dispel to remove the additional ones… bcoz, she doesn’t put the EoT dispel effect on the protected heroes !

Malosi takes care of Ferant

I use for example…

Purple: Ametrine, Sabina for dispelling and if he can fire first: Proteus for mana control.

Blue: Sonya. I don’t have any other option for dispelling.

Green: Caedmon, Melendor. For mana control I use Hansel.

Yellow: Mist. She’s my most used hero when trying to counter Ferant.

But Ferant does not have taunt… or I am wrong?

Ferant usually comes with Ludwig or Krampus or both :sweat_smile: in defense

With them , it’s not Ferant who is the main problem :wink:

Not really. Only delays him for 3 turns, but his mana stays intact and he can gather mana.
