Two colour defense ideas

I’m currently looking to field this defence for rush war:

How does it look?

I’d previously been waiting to get a second yellow mana troop to level 23 for a breakpoint for Anne, but only just realised that my (now 4/84) Jana could sufficiently attain mana satisfaction with existing troops.

The idea is that c Seshat has first dispel, toon Viv can be a potentially enduring shield for Sesh, c2 Domitia has elemental def down for the other purples and may hit a different three for dispel, Jana is Jana, Alfrike fires after the potential dispels and def down.

I got the barbarian troop when Seshat was still my tank and before toons got their recent OP “balance”.

My regular team has better stats, but arguably have less synergy.

Blossom is avg to Sesh’s fast, while Sha Wu is fast to Jana’s avg.

Using purple tanks I liked the idea of purples on the wings to leave a troublesome colour that opponents could be left to deal with.

It strikes me that the best two colour defence team formats are:
purple-yellow-purple-yellow-purple
and
yellow-purple-yellow-purple-yellow
because, even if the tank falls, a colour that is strong against the flanks, will be weak against the wings.

Other two colour combinations that could work could be:
blue-red-blue-red-blue;
green-blue-green-blue-green;
red-green-red-green-red.

This can work as a colour that is strong against the tank will be weak against flanks with wings having a similar advantage of remaining in tank colour.

Could there be advantages if alliances encouraged practical uses of two colour defences?

Are there any ideal lineups that would suit two colour defences?
