Hi SG. Small requestā¦ Can you had formation info straight in the panel that appears when one presses ārevengeā? so I donāt need to check the team first and then go to the revenge pre battle window. Thanks

Wthā¦ Itās there already. I swear it wasnāt 10 minutes ago. 
[Master] š” Alternate Defence / Raid Formations -- Feedback & Discussion Thread (Polls in post #2)
when this beta ā ā ā ā ends formation since I will ignore the raid while the beta lasts. P.S who wants to try the beta formation should request a beta version and test it to his heartās content
It is not beta anymore
Iām sorry but in addition to 6,000 gems Iāll have to delete the game because of some too smart people who came up with this nonsense

Thank you SG, thank you for bringing us this new and fun formations to the game and now itās even better and I love how the way it looks now even better than before and easier to change
So much fun, I appreciate the new cool content.

Yes, I love the new formations too and the fact that they heard what we said during beta testing. We will love the game even more if the odds for legendary heroes were higher or worked. I made like 50 pulls in the springvale portal and I got three legendaries (my second and third quintus and frosth), even if the odds for seasonal legendaries were higher. The odds are the greatest thing they could fix in the game to make us all happy hehe.
Formations sucks!!! I hate it!!! Before formations raids were fun, now they suck!!

I have over one hundred 5*s these defensive formations have made it easy for me to keep trophies this will only frustrate many players who in turn will stop raiding then probably quit well done Small Giant for basically alienating vast amounts of your players

I like how they added the heroes in the formation so you can clearly see what youāre setting up in the HA. Also, presenting the scheme instead of the name as in the beta version is a nice improvement. Like the diversity and fun brought by those formations.

So my biggest question isā¦
Should I take Margaret to 4:80?? Lol. She definitely seems a bit more viable with the new formations. Anyone have her and really impressed with her in the new formations?

So i just had a raid with Elena in front right of a double and when her special fired, she gave riposte to three other heroes, everyone but far left in the back row.
While this makes sense based on ānearby,ā I donāt seem to remember it being this way in beta. Heroes in the front of a double with ānearbyā skills only buffed the center and their wing.
or am i misremembering?
Well, Margaret is very much worth maxing even without the formations. She is for a longer time a very valuable member of one of my 3-2 war teams:
I actually moved away c.kadilen to a different war attack team as I like margaret in attack even more amd this team performs better with Margaret. Also successfully tested in 100+ raids (as all of my war teams).
She needs some time to get to love her, but imo absolutely worth maxing, she dodges a crazy amount of attacks especially against heavy hitters - and fills mana with her dodges. Also her att stat is 950, brilliant tile damage. With rigards buff she hits cca 300-350 on one enemy which is also very good at vf.

Thanks for the response. Iāve been wanting to bite the bullet and max her for a bit because I like her potential. Youāve given me some good things to consider. Thanks!

Please allow the new formations for every player. Iām lvl 40, and i have only stronghold 20. At least a half year to lvl 25 stronghold leftā¦ It was hard to fight my way to the diamond arena, and now i keep losing cups because recently i fighting vs. lvl 60-80 enemies with the new formations. Itās unfair and very frustrating!

Funny, I have the exact opposite opinion.

Funny I didnāt asked you, many people have different opinion then mine not only you.
The raid formations are tremendous.
Ninjas: Faced a Reverse Double with front three Ninjas. I won on the third attempt in a looooong war of attrition thanks to MN reviving again and again.
Ninjas on offense have the chance to hit all at the 2nd charge level and wow does that make a difference. I only have the 4* but Ametrine with emblems is better than many 5*.
This has spiced things back up. My tower was hit so many times this morning, 49 when I logged on, went to have my coffee and another 29 raids in less than ten minutesā¦
Attacking I am experimenting with different heroes and enjoying it immensely.
Feels like I will have two basic raid team setups:
- Standard and Reverse formations which will essentially be variations on my standard raid team
- Double and Reverse Double specialists which will have a lot of hit-3 aiming for position three to impact all five opponents.
There are a lot of the usual heroes that deserve spots but want to highlight a 4*:
Ametrine: The Double and Reverse Double often set up with riposte, healing and other buffs for the entire team. Ametrineās debuff before hitting is key AND she now works for the entire team at charge #2. I have been taking her on an experimental team against top 100 opponents (ok, only two were currently top 100 at the time of raid but the point is she is going up against 5* +20 defenses, the scariest ones) and she is a key part of the wins in most every one.
She is a barbarian so almost a perfect path of DEF/HP available leaving her fairly robust, terrible defense but good HP. A752 / D667 / HP1498.
This team is running double healers to support her and Hel. Blistering!
Another option against top teams while using 4*, double Proteus, spread them apart so they donāt get crushed by same opponent. One should survive to fire and shut down the enemy. If both survive you win, full stop. Fire them alternately and never let the enemy gain mana. Used to run double Proteus for a very long time when coming up and it worked well when he only could hit three, now, he can be the monster his momma always wanted him to be!

I really hope these raid formations do NOT get carried into other portions of the game. People play, they improve, they like to win. Take winning away, you take away a reason to keep playing.

Funny, you didnāt have to ask me. Just as you said, many people have different opinions, and I exercised my ability to express it.
I didnāt ask your permission.
