Help with understanding game play and teams

Hello! Me again!

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?

All help appreciated, thanks in advance!




I think that with having this much 5* heroes, many limit broken and double limit broken…

If you’re still not connecting the dots and don’t understand the core concepts of the game, there’s nothing and no one that will help.

Some things are like driving licence, not for everyone.

Maybe try tetris or candy crush, that should be better option for you and much cheaper.

One simple thing straight up.

Check if heroes do something to nearby allies.

Diaochan for example puts minions on nearby allies.

Nearby means 1’on each side.

You should therefore have Diaochan in one of the middle 3 spots. Otherwise she has noone on one side to give minions to

My thoughts:

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.

i hope it gives you some help :slight_smile:

Thank you! I was leveling Farrah to use with Craum for the family elemental bonus as well.

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.

Just one gamer’s opinion

Game Well :sunglasses: :mechanical_arm:

Blem’s explanation is great, follow his advices.

Experience about best defenses:

  • healers wont save your ■■■ alone. Everyone is saying that Nautica is OP, but i have much more succesfull defs in war with Charon for example.
  • snipers on def are not enough. If you attack, you can control them, but on def they are not strong enough.
  • slow heroes in the current meta dont live long enough to shoot without mana buffers
  • passive defense will fall, just a question of time

Try to combine heroes, try to find synergie. Examine the whole team together, not the heroes individually.

A useful link:

The writer managed to get to top1 in raid with a combined 4*+5* team…so i think this is a good source. :slight_smile:

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.

I appreciate taking time to answer my question!
