šŸ… [Jan 19, 2020] 40th Raid Tournament! ā€” 4* Bloody Battle, All Elements

My green stack + Proteus won 4 fights today (only 1 was extremely close), unfortunately mono blue snipers lost due to not getting any tiles after killing the tank. Still, 14-1 looks good.
Defense continues to hold its own, 5-5 today so far for a combined record of 17-9.
Top 1k rank currently.

Day 3

Offense

I won all 5, bringing me to 14-1 overall so far.

My last matchup was a bit hard, and I came pretty close to losing, partly due to a dumb move I made somewhat early on after Wilbur resisted Proteusā€™s mana block.

I got down to here:

And then my very next move cascaded and killed both Peters and Li Xiu. :relieved:


Defense

Still getting attacked nonstopā€¦Iā€™m currently at a 63% win rate, so hopefully thatā€™ll hold for a third day of an A Defense Grade.


Ranking

Iā€™m currently in the Top 1%, actually higher up than I would have expected for having a loss on Day 2.

Story of the losses...

I KEEP F.king forgetting about the bloody Riposte BUG!!! I lose a match, then rememberā€¦ But because I break my attacks up (to fill raid chest) I KEEP FORGETTING!!!
Lost two matches cause of itā€¦ One in the first pair of attacks then the first in the second set of attacksā€¦ bloody hellā€¦

Link to Riposte Bug Thread:
[Solved] Issues with Counterattack

Overall am 12/15 on attack, still inside the top 1%ā€¦ just need to remember & not loseā€¦


Defence
Dropped to B-Grade currently. Might pick up before the end of the day (2.5 hrs time) but I donā€™t hold out hopes.

I did a gem continue on Day 3 for this one haha.
I had a series of very bad boards - literally full of the colours I did not need and then at the END when I die, it would fill it with the colours I needed haha. Love when that happens.

Day 1: Win 4 / Loss 1
Day 2: Win 2 / Loss 3
Day 3: Win 4 / Loss 1
(I did the gem continue because I lost the very first game on Day 3, so I still had 4 flags left to use)

Top 25% / 7,327 Score
Defense is doing better than previous: 4 Win / 2 Loss / A Grade

Day 2

  • Offense: 5-0 (10-0)
  • Defense: 11-5 (17-9, A)

Day 3

  • Offense: 5-0 (15-0)
  • Defense: 6-6 (23-15, A)

So far so good! I ended up at rank 32 but as I usually finish my flags at the end of battle day nobody can even notice :laughing:

Day 4 Update

Score = 14882, Rank = 1564, Top 1%
NB - Score is adjusted to include defence

Offence
Managed to not forget about the riposte bug in the one fight i faced Borilā€¦ Interestingly A20 was against the same person I fought in A9ā€¦ but for an extra 5 pointsā€¦ Guess they got a better difficulty bonus over time?

Overall am 17/20 on offence.

Defence
Only attacked once which I lost. Dropped me to exactly 50-50 win ratio.

Day 4

Offense

I won all 5, bringing me to 19-1 overall.

None of my attacks particularly stood out today. Some of the teams were a little stronger and harder, and some were aiming for good synergy with fewer Emblems, but none of them were particularly memorable to say much about.


Defense

Iā€™ve continued to be attacked nonstop, and am teetering on the edge of an A or B.

Iā€™m currently at a 59.5% win rate from a loss 20 minutes ago ā€” earlier I was right at 60%, and earlier today I was around 61-something.

Hard to say which side itā€™ll land on a few hours from now, but the trend has definitely been downward.


Ranking

Iā€™m currently in the Top 1%, which isnā€™t surprising for 19-1 and A Defense Grades for the first 3 days, but I was really shocked that Iā€™m as high up as I am.

I thought my loss would have more impact.

Another 5-0 day on attack with blue/green stack + Proteus setups. Cheshire Cat almost killed me once because tiles came very slowly but managed to pull through. It helped that they had a Kashhrek as flankā€¦
Defense got pummeled a bit, hanging onto a B rank.

Update Day 4

Attack: 4-1
Loss was quite annoying. DoT (fire) had broken my neck. His hero: 100HP, my both about 250; no tiles(neither to direct attack nor free one for mana and firing a special attack).

Defence:
Four time attacked. 3-1
Still D because of loosing to much at the beginning. Now 38,4% winning ratio.

Rank:
Top 10%
It was definitely worth to invest the gems for recognition of all mistakes I made at the first two days and reconsidering the strategy. Of course you need luck with the tiles but if you go with a carrot to High Noon Duel itā€˜s possible to loseā€¦

Wish everybody luck and success for/at the last day. :four_leaf_clover:

Day 1: Win 4 / Loss 1
Day 2: Win 2 / Loss 3
Day 3: Win 4 / Loss 1
Day 4: Win 4 / Loss 1
Day 5: Win 5 / Loss 0

Defense: Grade A / 4 Win / 2 Loss
Score: 14,481 / Top 1% (I will definitely drop to 5% or 10%)

I started out very bad at this. By day 3 I had lost all lives, so did 1 Gem continue, lost only 1 since that (9 win and 1 loss). 5 wins on Day 5 which I was happy with

I lost a battle I really should have won but RNG was really being a poor sport.

But then I won a battle I should have lost, so it evened out.

Out with last flag today, A def all days, 1% should be set. Quite happy and hoping for some none-crap loot :slightly_smiling_face:

Day 4

Donā€™t remember much. Just remember I went 4-1. Defense still a D.

Day 5

The RNG gods have smiled on me, and I went 5-0. Top 1%. Weā€™ll see where Iā€™m at by the dayā€™s end.

Defense still attacked a bunch and still a D.

2 losses yesterday, combo breaker :smiley:

My def wasnā€™t attacked anymore. Thatā€™s the real disappointing thing for me about tournaments: the distribution of attacks. Sometimes so many attacks that you get problems to count, sometimes so few attacksā€¦that should be more even.

Grimm +10, Scarlett +10, Li Xiu +7, Caed +4, Proteus +12
