Board was fine until I got to the bosses. The blue tiles dried up and Brynhild only heals 3 so almost everyone burned to death since I didn’t want to use antidotes
Came down to the Valkyrie vs Nashgar, and her special skill defense was enough to stay alive until I could get the blue tiles
Trainer to Eichy. Rogue emblems probably to Zila Lei. She’s at +12 and I have enough to take her to +20, but I also have Frosth at 3-70 pending a Damascus Blade. Barbarian emblems stored
The battle was pretty easy. Zocc stopped Nashgar twice and Scarlett once. Her attack debuff didn’t care me as the combo of Nordri and Grimm was powerful enough to defeat Azlar before he released his special.
I was trying to get through this with no items, so I didn’t use a time stop and let Azlar go off because he was attack debuffed from Scarlett but without the super antidote (and having Frosty charged and ready), half the team would have burned to death. But with it, I bounced right back and finished up no problem thanks to plenty of blue and red tiles.
Trainer to Yang Mai, Rogues for Frosty maybe or Griffin or Kelile (with c) both of whom are close to done. Barbarians for Grimm or Gormek, or saved for Azlar who i just recently got the rings for.
Compared to last time, Domitia has her full costume bonus and Grimm has been limit broken. Also, I switched out Marjana +18 for Gretel, trading durability for more mana control.
Got through the mobs without too much damage to Gretel and Domitia, who were not protected by Brynhild. Entered the boss wave with all specials charged and red, purple, and green diamonds on the board. Looked like I had the most matches under Scarlett, so I fired Gretel at her. Managed to recharge Gretel pretty quickly, so I locked down Nashgar’s mana, too. With both of them on lock-down and Azlar in the back with slow mana to start with, I actually took down every boss before they fired and used no items, perhaps a first for me. I benefited from a good board and the mobs not targeting my unprotected heroes too often, but I still think this one is a win for Gretel over Marjana.
Barbarian emblems get the last talent for Stonecleave. Rogue emblems to Frosty. Trainer hero to recently-limit-broken Gormek.
Scarlett and Nordri are LB and up a few levels. Grimm and Gormek are both up to +6 now, finally had enough food and iron to give them some emblems.
gotta fix troops next time. Scarlett’s is fine, but i have better troops for everyone else now.
last fight started well, and was going to try to get through it without items but the board really dried up after the start of the fight. i went in charged and full minions on everyone, and with blue and red diamonds on the board, but after i popped those it was nothing but yellow and purple tiles for a while. Azlar fired once so used a super antidote then, and was about to fire again and hadn’t gotten blue tiles to heal up since the previous time, so used a time stop until i could get some more blue tiles on the board. once i did, healed up, fired Nordri and Grimm and both Azlar and Scarlett went down and finished no problem.
Trainer to Kelile who’s closed to finished (costume already done). She’ll get some Rogue emblems when she’s done because I think I have over a thousand now. Barbarians saved for Azlar maybe, who i have all the mats for now, but i think i have over a thousand there too, so Grimm and Gormek will probably get a few more.
Board was good, but an unexpected blue match killed the last mob when preparing the board, so 1 manapot to charge grimm. Not enough blues to kill them, so also an antidote to clear the burn and attackdown.
Skated through the mob waves without taking much damage, which is always good. Entered the boss wave with all specials charged. Looked like the board was lining up under Scarlett, so I mostly went after her, but she did a lot of evading, which made me mad. Plus, I didn’t quite charge her while she was under Gretel’s mana control, so I accidentally got her primed to fire. Fortunately, she blasted Brynhild (i.e. exactly where I can do my healing.) Eventually brought her down, and fired my next Gretel special at Azlar. Had better luck charging him correctly, and the Witch Slayer felled him on his own mana. Nashgar got a special off, but again, I charged him under Gretel’s special, and he, too, died on full mana. Do y’all have as much fun using Hansel and Gretel as I do? I love their mechanics. Gretel was getting toward low health by the time it was over, but she was out of healing range, so that’s to be expected.
Saving barbarian emblems in case I draw Frank next month; if not, they go to Azlar. Saving rogue emblems for… I have no idea. Out of red projects, so the trainer goes to Kadilen.
Been debating dropping little John or Obakan for nordri but I like mana control. Without a healer I worry about survivability. I do have a ton of health pots I don’t use so perhaps I shouldn’t worry.
No items used this time. Two dead heroes and two at 100 ish health by the end.
Up to you emblems can be perchanced today there is deal. How far you get in NT or events and tournaments is the only way to get free emblems. MV and chests too.
yeah, don’t do it. Gormek in red? much better idea. you can’t go wrong with double defense down. i don’t have a pic, but I literally just scraped by with Frosty and LB Scarlett hanging on by a thread. it’s not that the board was bad or anything. defense down is just… better.
Trainer to LB BT. Barbarians to Gormek? Rogues to Griffin or Frosty.
Decided to go with a new team that proved to be quite good. Frosth is definitely very useful for PvE, but due to the current nerf I am not sure I will ascend him because I need more PvP heroes.
So the minions + regular defense down + elemental defense down with some help from BK proved to be a winner and actually faster than my teams in other trials. No items used. Trainer in saving, rogue emblems to Frigg and barbarian to (Costume) Obakan.
