War Defense. Too many good healers

Here’s my current lineup
(Left to right, tier-level-talent)
Sonya (4-70-9)
Zim (4-42)
Kash (4-70-4)
Boldtusk (4-70-8)
Grimm (4-70-8)

Decent 3600 team… But I have some good ones on the bench and am not certain which way to go:
Rigard (4-70-8)
Kirill (4-70-3)
Wilbur (4-70-7)
Proteus (4-70)
Wu Kong (4-70)
Khagan (3-70)
Alberich (3-62)

I tried a couple setups with Wilbur but in order for Wilbur to work well he needs hard hitting heros ( and att buffs which I have). Any ideas on what to do??

What would you do if you had my team going in to war?

Alby Zimi Kiril Proto Wu

Do you have another holy?

I’d swap Sonya and Grimm. Alby needs maxed before he can replace Kashrek

I agree, Alby is too weak right now especially since he’s slow Mana. Why switch Grimm and Sonya? With Sonya on left she can dispelling any buffs first

I forgot I have Chao (4-68) and Li Xiu (4-28)

So that Grimm’s defense debuff fires before other attackers. It will overwrite any defense buffs active on those enemies

Work on Li Xiu and replace Wu with her. Chao isn’t terrible. Wu is much too squishy for Defense. Plus the AI can fire his special at the most inopportune times.

Kiril Zimi Li Kash Proto

Now that’s a rather formidable D @Olmor. I concur

AoE is some kind of double edged due to Boril and Cyprian, but I remember Li as a very annoying epic tank. Kash as well, but Li prevents charging up. Kash will be shot down after one or two casts.

Would it change anything if I said I had Boril too at 4-60?

No, just for offense. On defense they’ll simply be dispelled by Mele, Sabina, Sonya, Caedmon and become pure meat.

It seems counter intuitive to put the hero (Li Xiu) with the least HP and decent defense as my tank. I have 4* guardian troops at level 11 (my highest troop) but she still lacks.

She’s much better than Wu and not a bad tank fully ascended either. For Gold tier Defense, I think @Olmor had the best suggestion. Give it a shot and see how it holds up.

Alright I will. Unfortunately she might have to wait to get leveled. I recently landed Poseidon and Leonidas so almost everything is going to Poseidon right now.

Lol, can’t completely disagree with that except to say it’s much easier to upgrade a 4* than a 5*. Good pulls though, congrats.

Agree, finish epics first to bring in mats for your legends. Even if you have to spend 3* mats on your epics, the dropping will increase with a deeper roster. Stay competitive with epics to grow faster for your legends. One or two in parallel will be okay, but do not prior them too early.

How many epics should I fully ascend before 5*?
Right now my holy roster is:
Wu Kong (max)
Chao (4-69)
Li Xiu (4-30)
Danzaburo (3-60)
Li Xiu (3-60)
Wu Kong (3-60)
Poseidon (2-13)
Leonidas (1-26)
Bane (max) for events

You have already 3 yellow ascended. Wu, Chao and Li. I think you can start ascend *5 Poseidon and Leonidas.

Kashrek should be shelved IMO. Boldtusk and Rigard are much better tanks. BT is the best tank of what you’ve got so you start with him. Kashrek just gives your opponent a free spot to charge up all their damagers, he has zero threat and doesn’t even heal his wings. I think he’s way overrated as a tank. To own him just send all your tiles at him til you have a few damages charged up and then take out their scariest damagers one by one. You don’t even need to kill him til last, he’s pointless. And you don’t even need to bring any red characters against Kashrek cause IMO he’s the least threat on the opponent’s team so you’re never trying to kill him first unless it ends up super convenient. BT’s attack up buff is far more scary and his revive ability can be super annoying at tank whereas Kashrek’s class ability doesn’t help him tank at all.

You want all slow and average speed characters to be in the middle 3 so they get hit by tiles and fire faster. You want fast characters on the outside.

I’d probably just sub out Kashrek for Rigard.

Zimkitha | Grimm | Boldtusk | Rigard | Sonya

Something like that I’m thinking.
