I’m in a mid-tier alliance, we have about 2-3 players in diamond and 8-10 players in plat (me included). We don’t really coordinate tank color, but we somehow end up with a 50/50 split between blue and green tanks so I guess that works out.
My current war defense:
(yeah yeah GM shouldn’t be on wing, mana instead of crit troop blah blah, believe me I’m not an idiot
)
It holds up well enough against diamond attackers, it has definitely been one-shotted, but I’d say 70% of the time, it takes 2-3 flags to kill.
Well I finally maxed out Ursena today, and with that, I now have 4 maxed 5* to use for war defense. I’m currently thinking of running this setup (Ursena will be emblemed to +6 before the next war, just need to wait for more hams to roll in):
Problem is, I really don’t have any good yellow options to put on left wing. see for yourself the sad state of my yellow deck:
Li Xiu with the costume bonus at +6 is the most highly emblemed, but even with her being functionally fast with a lv 11 mana troop, she seems like a poor choice for left wing. Mist would actually work if she wasn’t so damn squishy (635 def, 1187 HP). Jackal although v. fast, seems ill-suited for defense duty.
Rest of my roster:
Since I have Ursena, I have half a heart to stick a second purple to create a yellow trrap. It’s risky for sure, but if Ursena goes off, the attacker will regret having stacked yellow. But again, no fast purples in my deck for wing duty. cTibs is the closest to functionally fast, and is definitely better than LX on wing, but still not ideal.
Another thought is if the attacker stacks red against my Telly tank, I could put in a second blue to take advantage of that. Sonya+6 fits in the wing spot, but she doesn’t really hit hard enough. Triton is still at least a week away from being maxed, and I really don’t want to “waste” any ranger emblems on him. Could put another red I guess, Scarlett has more emblems but is still super squishy, and isn’t exactly a sniper. Kelile is actually a decent 4* sniper, but has low HP, and I really don’t want to run her naked.
So kinda stuck here, any advice appreciated.
