My Defense couldnāt win a game of bingo if they were the only ones playing?! Lol
Iāve changed it up so many times using my best lines. I typically float 3000 cups and nothing is working. Theyāre rated E for everyone. Hahah
This thing is OK. I just feel itās very board-centric. There are only a few really good fights. Itās either I get a great board and wipe them out or the board is complete trash and I get destroyed. Miss the days when I could play some defense with off-color heroes in my lineup. Now itās 4-1 or mono or I get destroyed
I also think itās fairly clear that someone looked over raids and 6 to 8 months ago decided it was not monetized sufficiently. Weāve gotten raid heavy requirements in PoG and this new league. Every day I reroll at least 20 times to come up with whatever class they are requiring us to beat.
Iām liking the league. Some of the challenges in POG not so much but it all comes with the territory I guess. Itās the ārandomnessā of the boards that gets me at times where you get boards that are hard to work and only get harder as you move out tiles. Thereās no fun in losing a fight you werenāt allowed to win
Iāve been complaining about that for months but nobody seems to care. Chime in here. š° Ludwig ā 5* Dark / Purple from Clash of Knights - #396 by byzanthia
Ludwig is a cancer that needs to be excised. Heās literally everywhere and if you donāt get your tiles, youāre just dead. It gets really ā ā ā ā ā ā ā old.
I raid at ~2800 and heās probably STILL the most common tank I see in wars, raids, tournaments, and the league. Why? Because if you donāt get tiles, next thing you know is some healer goes off 3x in 4 turns and you eat 3x Khufu or whatever other OP hitter flanks Ludwig. Mind you, these are people who usually have all the newest heroes and they STILL choose to run Ludwig, a 2-yr old hero, as tank.
I was 4-2 again today and my defense had climbed up to a D finally, but I havenāt looked for about 12 hours, so probably back to E now. No point constantly looking, I will wait til the end.
I think a lot of people must have already given up or not been using flags because I am not doing great and am top 30,000 for now.
Killing it on offense but defense has been untouchable E no matter what i change. Canāt change it much being pure f2p though lol.
That might be dropping out the 25%, although the bottom 25 could be like the ppl that sign up for W3K but never playā¦lol, could be the drop from 10 to 6 flags. It does feel quieter. Iām not getting attacked as much anymore but have clawed out of E. good for you for getting out of jail. Good luck in the league. Hopefully weāre all still in the final round
A lot of us having that same issue on D. Nice jobs on the scoring. I have t been able to put together a lot of the combo bonuses - you must be getting really good time and scoring bonusā?
My defense was ranked D on the first round but for the current round, it holds a B rank until now. Hope it survive the weekend.
Iām trying my best for fast finish but it doesnāt always end that way. Iām taking my time to scan the board and think of the best moves because Win is more important than fast finish. I do the fast finish only if there is a good chance for it. Not taking any risks gambling what tiles will come from below for more combos.
This is from today, it was quick maybe 3 turns.
And all flags spent for today. End up 6/6 so it was a good raiding day.
There things needs to be considered;
-
Who came up with the idea of mandatory(!) attacks on weekends? Just please make it 5 days attack and 2 days of preparation, and leave our weekends for us.
-
Start Leagueās check in on saturdays and make it 2 days of wait time for peeps to check in. 5 days of attack like tourney and leave 2 days between each phases.
-
Everybody deserves a chance to try better position. It needs to be reset both attack and defense scores for next turn.
-
There needs to be reward for every participant after each week. Whether we drop out of League or not, i believe we should get a reward. im not arguing we should get a super good reward, but giving the āRound Participation Rewardā for everybody should not mess with game economy. Raid Tournament top 50% reward is better then 2 weeks of League reward, but in the mean time, i could get 2x raid tournament reward.
-
Unfortunately, this game does not know how to make tournaments. Tournaments target should be totally random! On the other hand, if we have a top defense team, we are matching another top team one after another. This is exhausting, at least for meā¦
Many possible explanations: a strong roster doesnĀ“t necessarily mean a strong defense team. You can also just have bad luck or you are actually playing at the very top level, where everybody has a guaranteed E defense.
At top level, top players are fighting each other and they all have a 80% or better win rate on offense, which means the defenses have a 20% or less win rate (which is not even close to what you need for a D defense).
This is why all these tiny little accounts show up at the top, they have a A defense, because in the pond they swim, people donĀ“t know how to attack.
Ruby is too RNG dependent on defense to be a good choice. On wing she is absolutely useless: If she chooses charge 1 her impact is extremely small, if she chooses a higher charge she is too slow to fire. So if you have nobody else at least move her to the center, where she at least has a chance to do something, if you get lucky on the RNG with her charge.
Milena is not a good flank either, if you canĀ“t swap her out I would use her as tank. At least she got the family bonus!
The other 3 heroes are good and with fast speed you can at least cover the wings/flanks. I would maybe go for Hippo-Panther-Milena-X-Naddaha
Thanks, i will definitely consider something. Donāt really have many ādefenseā hero options but i will try to switch positions and maybe look for another defense hero that can sneak in.
The problem with defense is that a strong defense team is boring. Players donāt like to attack them, and players donāt benefit much from running one. Itās really only a concern for players at the top of the ladder. Most players just make do with what they have.
Who do you have on def? If youāre holding @B I think youāre doing pretty good- congrats
Hereās my current defense for this round.
I had Saoirse instead of Cupido during the first round (as she had a class bonus) but I guess that I should have used for the first round even without the class bonus since his Mindless Heal on 3 is pretty strong to mute half of the opposite team.
Still holding B defense grade as I write this at 53.8% win rate.
This is my best score so far.
Week 2 has been very hit and miss so far. Tried to do some PoG tasks and got blitzed. Heroes below 5* dont last long and going mono has been disastrous every time Ive tried it.
Ludwig tanks are ubiquitous it seems, so Im having to use Malosi frequently, but if I cant get him to fire before Ludwig, its usually a loss.
Pleased with the drop to 6 fights per day. Annoyed the rewards are going to be so poor for the amount of time this event is taking.
Iām ranked 150,000th -200k . Am I even going to make the next round ?
