Make a diamond of useless tiles or throw them up to charged enemies.
Already had a lot of green diamonds this tour and took two defeats so far with a stack of 3 dark and two holy heroes.
Still tier 1% and no losses from my def of 3 ice guys.

So you are playing on old version? Since you have 3 heroes in DT?
Yes, no update received yet.
But I probably put two 1* in the corners otherwise. Not much of a difference.
Updating my tournament at the end of day 2
ATTACKING:
Average defense power of my opponents: 3626TP
My maximum power of my best 5 heroes (excluding green): 3442TP
Pretty fair. 10 wins 0 losses. 5942 points (average 594 points)
DEFENDING:
Average attack power of my opponents (assuming they put their best defense): 2789TP
My defense power: 2751TP
Again pretty fair. 3 wins 4 losses. Grades C - C
So far matchmaking is working fine in my experience.
Iām quite satisfied because I havenāt dropped an attack so far and I have 0 5* heroes in my whole roster
Unfair in my opinion because:
no greens, blues tank are very strong because itās hard to get good greens that attacks.
board randomness that want you dead (classic)
this annoying mechanic that make ennemies always targetting the weakest hero 4 times in the row (this is the thing that make me rage the most)
ITS NOT RANDOM. Or happen to me all the time every raid.
Fairness is when everyone playing using the same rule.
The fact that the rule apply to every player mean that the tournament is not unfair. Maybe unbalanced is the correct term? It heavily favor defense than attack.
True, I believe itās been confirmed that is how the AI works.
Edit: not confirmedā¦
No, I had Drake and Sartana on the wings. 4150ish TP.
Is there a thread somewhere that discusses this? I just read one where people said the AI always targets healers. So, is it the healers or the weakest or some combination? It would be helpful to know.
Sorry, it seems not to be confirmed by staffā¦ my badā¦
The AI is supposed to simulate optimal play (which it does very badly). When youāre on offense and you have a killing shot on a foe, do you take it or aim at a full-health opponent? Personally, I take the killing blow (unless I see a cleverer way of taking out that low-health hero). Why shouldnāt the AI do the same?
My sense is that the AI starts its turn by prioritizing targets. It then uses a āweighted diceā approach for actually choosing targets, where the odds of targeting a priority target are boosted. Priority targets appear to include:
It definitely uses some randomness; otherwise, all minions would be gunning for the same target, which definitely does not happen.
Got attacked twice today.
Alliance member on the other handā¦
30 attacks in just over an hour this morning?!?!? Plus one player with back to back wins?
that gave me ideas on heroes that could affect the AI, and even obstruck the player when targetting. That could be interresting.
Yeah i know this mechanics use a bit randomness (i posted a comment about it in another topic)
sometimes, being able to heal my badly hurt hero is a āmiracleā to reverse the situation (close fights, but i like it)
and Wilbur helps a lot because it makes the ai mechanic useless. (And saved me a lot of times, definitely the strongest 4*)
Not like that, QOH is a hero that force you to get rid of her minion else no debuff
I am talking about a : āennemies are less likely to attack youā effect (repell) that you can apply to any ally.
On attack ennemy has way less chances to attack your hero with this buff
On defense: if an attacker try to target the hero with this buff, it has a high chance to be redirected to another ennemy. (Even works with tiles)
(This include only attacks that target a specific hero, AOE attack are usefull)
this is the type of effect i had on mind (And itās doable)
I went 17-3 using QoH, Zim and 3 strong colors against the tank.
w00t!
I came to start of day 4. Then i ultimately diedā¦
My 5blue team didnāt make itā¦ I just have had 10 4250+ enemies. And i blundered with my defence team. 2 reds instead of 2 blue, as green canāt be used.
my 5 blue team did wellā¦ Ariel-Arthur-Alasie-magni and Isarnia. Ariel 3-70, isarnia 4-10. 3800 power against 4250+ā¦
But why only these big enemies? Grrrrrrā¦
It looks like the defenses you get matched with increase in power systematically. Which has the side-effect that if you pit out a so-so defense, it quickly stops getting challenged, and somyour grade locks in at whatever you got on the first day or two.
Updating my tournament at the end of day 3
ATTACKING:
Average defense power of my opponents: 3710TP
My maximum power of my best 5 heroes (excluding green): 3442TP
Still pretty fair. 12 wins 3 losses. 7916 points (average 528 points)
DEFENDING:
Average attack power of my opponents (assuming they put their best defense): 2780TP
My defense power: 2751TP
Again pretty fair. 5 wins 6 losses. Grades C - C - C
I have to say it again. Matchmaking is working almost optimal for me.
Iām hanging out with only one strike left and my 4* heroes doing their best (no 5* heroes in my whole roster)
Itās been surreal tournament for meā¦ Somehow, I ended up on Top 1%ā¦
My best team is only around 3300 TP. I donāt even field a single 5* in my attack teamā¦ My only 5* are Ariel in 1st ascension (equal to 3*) and unleveled Thoth-Amunā¦ My best hero is Boldtusk 4/60 which mean I donāt even have a single maxed 4* nor emblemed hero.
I should have lost few times at day 3 and 4 but somehow bad board turned into long combo and kill the tank+flankā¦ It happened few timesā¦
It does help that this tournament restrict nature heroes as I lack strong nature heroes. It also help that the special rule is buff booster as my main attack team specialize in dispel.

Here are my top 5 strongest heroes (I donāt bother to exclude nature heroes as I donāt even have one above 3/60 yet):
Main Attack Team (used for all attacks except 5th attack on 3rd day and 4th attack on 4th day):
Alternate Attack Team (used for 5th attack on 3rd day and 4th attack on 4th day, I should have use this for 5th attack on 1st day but I forgot to change itā¦):
False Defense Team (I lower it by using weak wings complementing stronger tank/flanks in order to trap opponents who donāt have deep roster):
