This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

Elements Allowed	Hero Rarities Allowed	Troop Rarities Allowed
No Fire/Red	or lower	or lower

Special Rule: Buff Booster

Each buffs adds an attack multiplier!

@zephyr1

Buff Booster adds a stackable 20% attack buff to each hero for each active buff on that hero. Using heroes with special skills that grant buffs or multiple buffs can lead to very high attack boosts. These buffs stack with each other and normal attack buffs.

[Orichalcum-Aife]

Should I use By-Ulf tank with Gato flank, or Shrubbear tank?

[Guvnor]

My first pass;

I’ll see if I can hunt down last time.

Turns out I didn’t keep any records from that tournament; no idea how it went last time

[jinbatsu]

My Last Time Defense Team

@jinbatsu

Ended with Grade A defense.

My 1st setup…

lack of hitter, but it is buff buster…
After seeing past tournament I will change it to use Muggy and Brienne as tank…

OK, 2nd draft…

[l2ider]

@jinbatsu I’m doing the same as your second defense except using bear tank. Good luck to us!

[JackREACHER]

Is shrubbear with taunt best as tank or flank ?

[Olmor]

Both options seem to be decent. Tank imo better for being slow.

Belith for Brienne?

[sleepyhead]

Alas, I don’t have any more Monk emblems, and I don’t have Brienne’s costume…

Going with this. Probably the best option - Mnesseus x2 and Belith are highly emblemed. And Muggy gives a buff, whereas Berden, Carver and Hisan don’t.

Opinions welcome, though thanks!

[Elayanith]

If you use Brienne use her without costume so you get the buff bonus!

[Olmor]

No, keeping the opponent off buffs is more useful for a defense than to buff yourself. On att it’s the other way round.

[Elayanith]

If I had your heros I would use Belith instead of Berden and an ucostumed Brienne. 2 debuffers should be enough dont you think ?

[jaqtkd]

This is my first thought. Tyrum might be useful but I’m not sure who he’d replace.

My Roster if anyone has any further thoughts

[Randy]

First thought mono nature team. Tuck’s +mana may get Ulf to fire his special a 2nd time before negative effects kick in, at least that’s the hope. Appreciate any opinions on that.

[CoreyOfTheIsland]

Is this lacking fire power? I am curious if the defense team can win simply by buffing/debuffing and relying on normal hits and muggy hits.

[CoreyOfTheIsland]

looks lethal. I didn’t know byulf could avoid his punishment(?) by going off twice. Interesting.

[Tetsaiga]

With my PoV tournament completion done, I can go back to never joining any of these horrible tournaments until the next PoV.

Good luck to all of you who seem to enjoy these.

I’m going to enjoy a well deserved break from this garbage. Also, dont tell me about “free loot” just for entering like I’ll get something worth it.

[GrootBeard]

To each his own. I enjoy playing with characters I never use otherwise. 3*s have some fun heroes.

And this is a nature protected tournament. GrootBeard loves nature.

[Tetsaiga]

To be fair… my post is very critical and harsh. I realize this, but I do wish good luck to any who participate.

These tournaments just make me very angry.

[Randy]

@Aunty

Yes it does. I just run some tests and you can postpone negative effects by firing the skill before negatives start. You cannot, however, turn negative effects back to positive by firing the skill again if negative ones are already running.

@Aunty tested this and it did work.
