Special Rule: Rush Attack

@zephyr1

Rush Attack makes all hero specials of any speed Very Fast — it doesn’t require Very Fast heroes, it turns all heroes into Very Fast heroes. Heroes that are normally Slow or Average can become quite powerful in this setting.

You think it is better to have a RGB center instead of yellow center? RGB attack teams will be neutral against yellow, but RGB center will still have some weak colors.

[Guvnor]

Potentially, but they’ll also still have strong colours too.

Trade-off I guess.

[CoreyOfTheIsland]

no purple on 4*? that’s basically a crime against humanity. I vote we drop yellow instead…

[Guvnor]

All unconfirmed but that is the likely one based on the past history.

[CoreyOfTheIsland]

I guess the only question then is costumed li or uncostumed?

[Guvnor]

OP Updated;

Confirmed to be a 4* Rush Attack Tournament with no Purples/Dark heroes

[Grumpigamer]

1st choice and sticking to it

[Stargasm]

Does anyone have any luck running a mono defense in tournaments where one color is left out? I keep thinking I could have a pretty killer mono team, but they never seem to fare well.

[sleepyhead]

bring out the slowies! Li Xiu is there because she’s amazing and can slow everyone down, Kiril for that extra bit of security

maybe i should add a dispeller in case someone gets the bright idea of bringing ripostes (Boril) on attack…

second pass…

[Guvnor]

Tournament de Guv

First pass on defence team.

Second pass:
Switched Colen & Kiril around. Forgot to change Li Xiu to normal (20% mana cut vs. 10%)

I’ll have a dig round later & see if I can track down last time.
Turns out that I didn’t track this one either.

[notyou87]

I like to mess around with these. Here is what I will try for this one:

[Yayo]

First thought: mono yellow…opinions? Suggestions?

[Guvnor]

I would maybe shift Colen & LJ in closer…

So maybe:
Caedmon → Colen → Grimm → Little John → Boldtusk

[notyou87]

Ok done.

hoping you didn’t do it so I am an easier kill for if you face me lol

[Kypros86]

Hi guys any suggestions for the tournament for a relatively new player? This is my selection right now i was thinking Kelile-Melendor-Li Xiu-Kiril-Wilbur in this order. Not sure if i should put Wu Kong in there what’s your take in his defensive abilities?

[Grumpigamer]

@sleepyhead I’d keep kiril in over Mel but at least bring in to flank. Kiril is the ultimate tank in rush so keep him close to the centre to fire often

[Guvnor]

Maybe try:

Melendor -> Wilbur -> Kiril -> Li Xiu -> Kelile

[Kypros86]

Thanks to both i will try this layout and see how it goes

[JGE]

With give this tournament a go with maybe:
Mist / Kiril / Li Xiu / Little John or Grimm / Guardian Jackal
