Okay so I’ve been doing as much reading as possible to come up with why or why not I should use specific heroes in specific locatiins and it is just not connecting. I lose raids to low levels I feel I should win (on defense)
I’ve attached my current raid team (same I sure for war) and a screen shot of what I have. Should I be using different heroes or a different combination?
Do I have other heroes I should be focused on ascending for a stronger team?
Or can anyone explain where I’m going wrong so I can make better choices on my own?
Not sure you need 2 healers in a team. If you use Diaochan, dont place on wing, she needs 2 neighbours to operate good. If you get her costume, then goes to tank position.
With time, i would change hammercland to Sparklight, imo he is stronger.
I would go for Farrah for later, she is very powerful.
All defences are beatable by someone. I know this seems obvious but a defence with multiples of one colour will attract attacks from teams stacked with the colour strong against it. In this example as you have 2 purples in your team then I would attack with at least 3 yellow heroes and there is nothing here to discourage that tactic. Assuming you are also using a standard V formation, a good set of yellows under Ludwig would take him down without too much fuss especially as he is slow. An Ailment blocker such as Garnet would negate any issues from Hammerclang, Craum and Starwalker. Also, as has been pointed out, Diaochan is wasted on the wing.
This is a very passive defence and if I could nulify Starwalker and Hamerclang or negate their negative status ailments then it can’t really deal much damage and one could pretty much tile dump into just about any of those heroes without too much worry.
I would probably consider switching Starwalker and Diaochan around. Using Craum in the tank position where Ludwig currently is and change Ludwig out for Erlang Shen on the flank. That would increase your damage output and speed up your team with 4 fast heroes in the flank and wing positions and the 1 Average hero in the tank position. I personally think this would make it a far more formidable defense team. You could also consider dropping Diaochan for Farrah which would further increase your damage output without having negative effects on speed.
Thank you all for your help. I’ve taken your advice and been doing much better with raid defense. I have played around with subbing Hammerclang with Sparklight and using Cinderella and that has shown some success as well.
