Alt #1 went 4-1 and main went 5-0 iirc I have to double check. But yeah this one is going surprisingly smoother then again. Bloody Battle is my favorite modifier. As my main has no healers that are 4 stars and five stars. The healers that I kept running into were mainly the dispellers and Rigard.
EDIT: The numbers for the profiles need to be reversed. Main went 4-1 and alt #1 went 5-0 actually.
I give up trying to figure out which of these tournaments will be hardest for me. I thought I would do okay last week, not great. But I did terrible, getting an E on defense and squeaking into the top 5% by buying a continue. I thought this week would be terrible, given that of my few 5 stars, 2 are red. But instead my defense is undefeated (only attacked 3 times, though) and my offense is 5-0. I realize it wonât last as I start getting matched with tougher teams, but for now I will celebrate my first ever perfect opening day
Since I seem to already be facing teams about 200tp stronger than my strongest possible team, I assume Iâll be facing the usual Diamond Arena sorts of teams in the next day or two.
Iâve been ending up using this attack team consistently:
To me, this is really comical. I mean, un- maxed 3s and a virgin dup Balthazar on defense ( and on Offense, as the only other 2 heroes my alt had are gormek and Nashgar) !!! I thought Iâd be out by my 4th attack. In fact, I wasnât even going to join this one because of that thought. Now, I realize there are others out there just like me with 2s and 3s!!! So glad I joined it and decided to play it!!! Itâs still free loot afterall
Ran into 2 buzzsaws on attack today! Letâs call a spade a shovel- this is a terrible start and my 75 gems are already in the machine!
FOR THE REST OF YOU GREAT PEOPLE- AS ALWAYS **GOOD LUCK ERRRRYBODY!!! **
Day 1 Update!!!
Not the best day for me Went well on offence running a 3-2 attack using Morgan Le Fay (+11), Drake (+6), Yunan (+9), Onatel (+11), Lianna (+9). Only changed for A4 where I swapped in Khiona (+5) & 2x 3/70 Seshat for the greens.

Like I already predicted, not having good greens for this tournament, resulted in E grade, which will probably remain unchanged during the five days. I have to win 25 of 25 for 1%. In fact, Iâm not sure itâs even enough. The difference between A and E is more than a win
My defence this round is Jack OâHare (+6), Guinevere (+3), Boss Wolf (+1), Joon (3-67) and Master Lepus (+3)

Top 10% for now. I donât expect to stay alive very long , since thatâs the norm in 5* tournaments.
That one loss today kind of stings, because if Hansel had only stayed alive a little longer, the last defender (Melendor) would have been dead the next turn. SighâŚ
This is a tournament that is a Russian roulette. Either you get a decent board or a bullet
Iâve set up a def that gives no hope for a decent grade:
Joon (+7) - elk (3/70) - kingston (4/25) - caed (max) - sehsat (+7).
As expected - 2 - 7 gave me E btw - 9 attacks is somehow a lot to me
Offence - I use my standard raid setup:
Jackal - joon - seshat - rigard - proteusâŚ
Then I realized itâs a bloody battle so rigard was switched to tibi
Anyway - 5 - 0, so the top 5 % with 3395 points.
Letâs see how subsequent days will roll
Good luck to you all
Defense C - finished first day with 4:5
Offense - a Poseidon at 100 health 1:1 vs my Joon charging faster ( as not a single yellow tile for 4 turns ) guilty for my only loss. Will be an interesting tourney - almost won all 5 with quite bad boards, so hope can go to the last flag ( will need a lot of wins if my defense doesnât improve to be at top 1% at the end )
Day 2 offense went better than expected. 4-1 on both accounts. Defense is E ranking on my main, Alt #1 is sitting on itâs throne at A ranking with 2 attacks. My defense on my main I made a stupid decision by putting 2 3 star greens When I should have put Grimm and Chao. Gah, you live and learn eh? My Alt #1 is ahead of my main by about 600 to 800 points. Last I checked.
I donât recall playing a tournament so slowly and carefully like I do this time Like I said in a previous post, I have to win all my attacks. At least 24⌠perhaps. So I take the same team everywhere; most tanks are green anyway. 2 Drake, Joon, Seshat and Dom. Till now my Dom didnât dodge a single attack, duh. Well, I saved 2 attacks for the chest tonight and so far is 8-0. I regret I didnât record my last fight⌠Was bloody indeed and had an unbelievable ongoing. My Seshat against 3 enemy heroes. But with her HP below 100 True, had already the minions. I didnât count how many times those minions protected her from slash attacks. And I ghosted tiles in the right side, hitting the left side. And Seshat is nearly out of life and the left wing Zeline fires! Amazing, she doesnât die! I fire her, but due to atk debuff couldnât kill Zeline. But she got her minion! Another 2 repelled slash attacks until I fired again. And the battle is over with Seshat remaining with 8 HP⌠My sweetest victory ever.
Kingston plus Kadilen is amazing in this tournament (and quite good in regular raids too), reducing incoming damage down to minor amounts. Been running Kingston Kadilen Lianna Joon Leo or Kingston Kadilen Sartana Dom Tiburtus (with node 8 and a mana troop) and am 9-1 on attack with a C defense for top 1% so far
