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?!
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
Solutions are always lurking around…
What is your plan / strategy… How are you dealing with unique Ferant tanks ?!
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.
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…
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.
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
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 !
