🏅 [Sep 15, 2019] 22nd Raid Tournament! — 4* Bloody Battle, No Dark/Purple

Me: Hmm. Four-star limit. No purple allowed. Better find a good yellow tank.

Danza +19: You rang?

My one chance to be smug about having used emblems to turn Danza into a tank. If this had happened after I reset him for Domitia (currently 4^56), I might have rage quit E&P.

All hail the Supreme Leader of the Tanuki!

these no-Purple tourneys always make me realize how much I rely on Proteus and Sabina.

at least I have Melendor, and to an extent Sonya and Kiril and Boldtusk, to take Sabina’s healing and dispel

but Li Xiu and Chao… they can work but they’re far from Proteus

I am jealous of your double Jackals. But not as much as your Falcon. In my opinion, second most useful red 4* in the game. More useful than all red Classic 5* heroes even after Devs fixed their Falcon, and Athena, defense debuff problems.

I would go

Hansel 4*+13
Jackal 4*+1
Li Xiu 4*+2
Falcon 4*+19 ( protects Jackal 4*+18 )
Jackal 4*+18

Corners

2* tourney reminded me how hard it is to get X*+18 heroes out of corner if flank also X*+18.

Blood battle prevents them from waiting out the corner heroes with double healers on the attack team.

@Gryphonknight Thank you again!!!

I was trying to separate my strongest jackal from falcon but your explanation is helpful. I’ll have them together!

What about danza, even though sitting 3/60, I doubt I can max before start and without emblems maybe not a big enough upgrade (replacing one among Hansel falcon or lixiu).

Jackal 4*+1 gets evade, Jackal is very fast and hits decently.

Li Xiu will be a pain this tourney.

Hansel makes a good corner hero with special skill defense buff.

I would just use the five heroes you picked.

But you can still level Danzaburo for other uses. Much better random special skill then Rumpel ( blue 5* hero ). Also helps with purple mobs in both rogue quests and purple boss in one rogue quest.

My Yellow Squad is pretty thin. Thinking of running defense of:

Scarlett +7
Grimm +7
Li Xiu +10
Chao +3
Jack O’Hare +7

Scarlett is fast + has 12% chance of dodge
Grimm, average mana but a helpful defense down; just hope he survives long enough…
Li of course, and Chao as flank because also Yellow
Jack is my only fast Green.

Or should I do

Triton +6
Gormek +9
Li +10
Chao +3
Jack +7

Gormek has better survivability than Grimm, and Triton so I don’t run two Reds…

Other options:

Lancelot +14
Sonya +7
Skittleskull +3

Boldtusk +3
Kiril +3
Melendor +1

Ignoring the healers and buffers, so that’s Boldy, Kiril and Mel out…

no other maxed 4*s…

FWIW, I just posted and formatted the raid tournament scoring guide in guides. It is dense, but I think I covered everything that we think we know about how this all works. Hopefully it helps everyone.

A, B, OR C???
How does the order look for each option? (C is the same as B with Hu at flank and Gretel on the wing).
Flirting with putting Hu at Tank, swapping with Danza, but not yet sure… Sitting out a maxxed Wu which I’m ok with, but can see him being a difference maker in later rounds if indeed I get that far.



GOOD LUCK EVERYONE- THIS SHOULD BE A FUN ONE!!!

Let’s Danza…

imo, those who buy to continue have an advantage and cant miss 5%

1st day…1 loss thanks to a REALLY bad board…3-2 blue and red for the enemy and all I got was green, yellow and purple till the end…meh.

I feel like this thread will have less attention now that it’s not in General Discussion - any reasoning why it was moved?

I’m tanking with Hu Tao, taking advantage of the fact that Rigard and Tiberius are not allowed. He’s got +6 class nodes activated for a 12% revive chance, and okayish durability for his rarity.

Honestly, I think that’s a fantastic choice. I bet he survives to fire in quite a few defenses, and the revives are really going to frustrate your opponent.

I just don’t have the guts to pin my emblems on a panda.

Well this tourney is off to a horrible start. Probably my worst ever.

Attacks - won first 2, then lost the next 3(!). I was not able to fire off Wilbur, Colen, or Falcon before being defeated. Just horrible boards ugh.

Defense of Jackal +18/Wu +14/Hu/Li/Chao is currently at 1-4.

This is not pretty lol

This also non-active in this tournament mode. Sad to tell you.

hoo right you are :blush: I forgot that the revive talent is not a thing, during bloody battle.

1st day
Haven’t been attacked so far. I faced lots of high emblemed teams, but hey all contained healers and hardly any yellow. So I won every attack and currently top 1%

Went with team #3.Having Sonya as debuffer and no double blue giving invitation to Caedmon.

Defense A so far 2-1
Offense Already lost 2 battles…:hushed: 3-2

Day 2 is usually my best…with 5-0 lets see if I’m able to achieve this tomorrow.
