I’d say it really depends on how far you’ve come building a roster. I remember (along with most of my alliance mates who were at the same point in game) that the first few weeks or months maxing a first rainbow team it was difficult defeating a team of same TP and you relied heavy on the board layout.
However once you have several rainbow teams maxed you get to mix and match to prioritize the tank, and it gets much easier to the point you can defeat much more “powerful” teams with just a bit of luck from the board.
I think it’s an interesting question but it will come down to how far people are in the game
What you’re saying makes perfect sense, and I tend to agree. Once my roster got strong enough to mix, match, and stack, taking down a team 300-500TP above mine became pretty routine. But we’ll see what the community has to say.
