This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

Elements Allowed	Hero Rarities Allowed	Troop Rarities Allowed
No Ice/Blue	or lower	or lower

Special Rule: Rush Attack

All Special Skills are set to Very Fast!

@zephyr1

Rush Attack makes all hero specials of any speed Very Fast — it doesn’t require Very Fast heroes, it turns all heroes into Very Fast heroes. Heroes that are normally Slow or Average can become quite powerful in this setting.

Feedback on Raid Tournaments

Please note this important announcement from SG about the reduced loot:

@Petri

First, thank you for the feedback! We increased Raid Tournament rewards on June 3, 2019 (see Raid Tournament Change Log ). There are currently no plans to make further adjustments to this. While I understand not all players are satisfied with the current status of the Raid Tournaments, I do want to point out that we are currently focusing our resources to bring new, exciting features to the game which will bring new ways to gain rewards.

• For feedback on Matchmaking: please discuss in this thread

• For feedback on the reduced loot, and not returning to better loot: When will raid tournament loot be returned to original loot? [Developer Response in Post #194] Answer = Never

Come with 1* tournament!

[zephyr1]

Just in case…

[Scarecrow]

I don’t even need TC19, because I have few hundreds feeders in TC11 (still hoping for hotm). Imo, it would be a lot of fun. Skills & puzzles

[Peazomanco]

Have ever been a tournament which restriction would be team power or cost? A 2k tp It would be very fun and with huge config options.

[Scarecrow]

The true tournament for Bauchan to shine

[Olmor]

TP 2478 exactly as yours.

[Aunty_Krauser]

Here is mine:

This is my main.

[jinbatsu]

Here is mine…

[GiveMeEmblems]

@Olmor and @Scarecrow: do you keep emblems on your 3* or move them after the tournament? If the latter, is there some “key” node that makes sense? For example, on the 2*s I think we could go to 7 w/o losing any emblems. (I ask b/c scarecrow seems to have all of his at 6 and Olmor around 4). Thanks!

[DaveCozy]

This is one option (edited: took Mnesseus out for Namahage, feel he’s better)

Mono red option;

thoughts?

I have every classic and Atlantis 3* leveled up too. Only Arman for seasonal ones. So feel free to throw your ideas

[Peazomanco]

Mine:

I could swap a Hawkmoon by a 2nd Azar or even a Nashgar. But he is too squisy

[Scarecrow]

No, my 3* heroes are always 6. I’m not so crazy to lose emblems moving them around

[Scarecrow]

Dave, I would go mono red. You don’t have Bauchan, but my main reason is to put the enemy in a difficult position to choose Belith/Mnesseus for attack. To go with greens against red it is almost suicidal. So remains one single option, Tyrum. Still, you too have 2 Namahage…

[DaveCozy]

Yeah no Bauchan for me unfortunately. I would have to tank with Jahangir (still a good option though under rush attack).

My main concern is that he’s not as beefy as my Gill-Ra. I’ll try it out anyways for this tournament

[GiveMeEmblems]

I could go mono red

Or I could swap in Arman or Kailani. I realize that invites a purple stack, but w/o emblems on my team, the extra defensive help might be worth it? (arman will be leveled before tourney start)
Thoughts welcome

[KingArchur]

Really tempted to put in 3 Bauchans but that might make a new player quit the game…

[sleepyhead]

Comments and advice welcome thanks in advance. I have all the classic and Atlantis 3*s, plus Hisan and Vlad. decided to go with this one:

I think Kailani will make be more useful than my last Red, Nashgar. And more useful than other slow heroes Gill-Ra or Oberon. plus i have tons of emblems on her because i don’t have any 4* or 5* maxed Clerics…

[DaveCozy]

In my opinion, Kailani is good as a tank or flank. Even under v fast speed. I wouldn’t put her on wing
