I am so confused on what to put as the defense. I need advise on which kind of defense has worked for you before? I have been through 4 iterations already:
Choice 1:
Rainbow fast team of snipers and kvasir meat shields,
Super glad to get a 3* tournament this week. Very tired of being wiped out so quickly in the 5* ones and stalling before mid-week on the PoV tasks.
I am still debating what to run with. I always find it harder when there is no element not allowed.
These are my options - pitiful I know - Ei-Dunn is a little higher than the picture shows as I have been working on her today, but I am not sure I will manage to max her before the tournament starts. Should also mention that Bane’s costume is not maxed yet (second tier).
Currently toying with Mnesseus, Ulmer, Jahanghir, Pixie, Berden. Not sure whether I should switch out Jahanghir for another sniper like Balthazar. I would prefer to leave Ulmber in for his defence down.
Any suggestions? (Besides working on my 3* bench )
Ideally you want a beefy hero at tank (center) because that hero takes the most tile hits and opens up the easiest “ghosting” channel.
Of what you’ve shown, that’s Gunnar.
The most obvious thing to bring against a beefy blue is a couple of greens. Green being weak against red means ideally one of your flanks would be red and either durable or high impact (ideally both).
Jahangir would go better at flank, he’s not the toughest but if Gunnar fires that will help him - plus at slow mana, he can’t go on the wing.
Bane is a tough old cookie - makes a good flank or wing.
You don’t have to use his costume, if I’m understanding correct his base form is maxed?
Mnesseus or Tyrum are useful for left wing because they dispel, so you got that spot on IMHO. Tyrum costume is useful too for cleanse, if it’s maxed it’s not a bad idea to use both!
For me, this means I’d run (if Tyrum costume not maxed):
Tyrum - Bane - Gunnar - Jahangir - Berden.
Or (if Tyrum costume is maxed):
Mnesseus - costTyrum - Gunnar - Jahangir - Bane
Yes, Bane is maxed even though his costume isn’t quite there yet. I am afraid I don’t have Tyrum’s costume, that one has eluded me so far. Maybe next time the chamber comes back it will come to me.
Personally I’d run the former example… But there are several ways you could set it.
Obviously remember that your matchups are based on the TP of your strongest available team for the tournament (ie: of your highest emblemed set, whether they’re a good team together or not), so you wouldn’t want to drop too many emblems out of the field of you can help it!
Unfortunately the 3* ones who have the most emblems for me right now are the healers. None are maxed on emblems thank goodness. My five strongest 3* heroes are
Belith, Berden, Hawkmoon, Prisca, Pixie.
Two healers and a self-healer automatically discounted.
If you stack to kill him, you will struggle with the tank or the bear. If you ignore him and stack for the tank or the bear, Nordri will be the last one standing and not die easily.
If you bring yellow Bjorn can hurt you considerably.
