This Week’s Restrictions & Special Rule

No Holy/Yellow	or lower	or lower

Special Rule: Buff Booster

Each buffs adds an attack multiplier!

@zephyr1

Buff Booster adds a stackable 20% attack buff to each hero for each active buff on that hero. Using heroes with special skills that grant buffs or multiple buffs can lead to very high attack boosts. These buffs stack with each other and normal attack buffs.

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

Finally a tourney I have a chance in. These are my only 4* that fit the bill. Hopefully will get Caed to 4/70. What order should I put them in? Guessing Sab should be tank.

[Richard01]

I’m not sure if my screenshot posted but my heroes are Sab+5, Sonya+4, Kelie +4, Caed 4/63, Gobbler 3/60.

[Scarecrow]

If these are all your heroes, then Caed, Sonya, Sabina, Kel and Gob.

At least you have a lots of debuffers, lol

[Purpeyes]

Would you go mono or power?

[Richard01]

Thanks Scarecrow. I feel so powerful.

[AngelOfDark666]

I hope my defense does better this time…
Still thinking about putting BT out, but who in?

[Scarecrow]

Why Cyprian? This hero is a joke for most players and yours is not even talented. If you wanna a successful defense this tournament, then Proteus tank. Who do you think will bring Rigard along against purple stack?

Many members listened to me before at these threads and they were successful at those tournaments. Set your defense like this: Caedmon, Tiburtus, Proteus, Sabina and Scarlett. Or Gafar, Sabina, Proteus, Tiburtus and Scarlett. Second one seems better.

[Rapisu]

Since Wu and Danza are out my buffs are restricted to BT, Kiril and Boril. Wilbur is a double edges sword here, so I’m gonna leave him out.
My problem is my collection of purples: 2 Sabinas, 2 Rigards, Tiburtus and Jabbar. Can’t go mono here if I want any offense at all. And my purples don’t have any buffs, so I feel they are kind of wasted here.

Dunno who’s the best tank option: Jabbar, Sabina or Boril. Don’t want to use Rigard since dispel is better than cleanse here.

[Purpeyes]

Never thought about Proteus as tank I’ll give it a shot. Also what are your thoughts about BT, Wilbur or kiril for the buff booster?

[Scarecrow]

A talented Kiril is the best of those 3, obviously. And Wilbur is the worst, because gives buffs to enemy too

I for one, don’t know what to do this tournament. I have Kiril with some emblems, but I think Proteus is better right now. This is not war. The defense should retaliate one single attack. Since there is no yellow, Proteus has high chances to fire. And this is all it matters in most battles. Taking out 3 enemy heroes in the beginning for 3 turns could be enough for the ally heroes to charge undisturbed.

P.S. Besides, setting Kiril as tank, will attract an army of Caedmons. Not good

[Scarecrow]

I finally made my mind for the alt defense. I expect to have at least 4 days of grade A.

I don’t care much for my buffs; I care more for not letting the opponents have them. Besides, +10% bonus for my defense is always welcomed.

[vanZille]

Hope that works, not many buffs, but nasty

[vanZille]

red - sabina - boril - red - jabbar? Not sure what you have on red bench, not wilbur as we all know

[MD-DC]

@Scarecrow if you don’t mind, I’d love your advice. I’m thinking of running this:

And these are the rest of my eligible bench. I’m not including any heroes that don’t have emblems except for Cheshire Cat and Cyprian due to the color restrictions. Would you change the defense at all, and if so, how?

[Purpeyes]

I see you went double Proteus I have 3 maxed would you swap one with tibs and go gaffer Sabina Proteus Proteus scarlett?

[vanZille]

3 Healers, a bit too much imo

[Purpeyes]

Would it work I know it would be a pain in the ■■■■ to go up against!!

[MD-DC]

In full agreement, but I’m not sure I have a better option than Boldtusk if I want to take any advantage of Buff Booster at all.
