Hey guys, here are all of my maxed 5*
What do you think would be my best war defense? Rainbow? Aegir centered? Or mitsuko?
Perhaps something like this?
Any help is appreciated!
Fighting Aegir is a pain, and even worse so if others in your alliance use him as tank too. I’d go left right Kage, Marjana, Aegir, Mitsuko, Musashi.

I wouldn’t go full purple/yellow if I were you. Too easy to stack against.
And this is coming from someone with no maxed 5* heroes and a max TP just above 3600. I could take out that team in 1-2 flags with halfway decent boards.

As an alternative, I would also think about Kageburado, Evelyn, Aegir, Elkanen, Marjana.
Evelyn would make Elkanen more effective, green - blue - green is more difficult to stack against. Kage for sheer damage and Marjana for damage + DOT

Yeah, people are really divided on aegir usually. Some find him horrible, others a non issue since a lot of greens are dispellers.
And yeah, that ursena example is a very risky thing, i lack good yellow sniper to do it (although urs3na really discourages yellow stacks)
I like the idea of aegir and then two same colored flanks. I was reprimanded by some experienced players when i suggested it though
@Kerridoc @Garanwyn @Gryphonknight if you guys have any insight it would be appreciated. Tank color is not an issue 
Blue tank with red flanks is a PITA to fight. One of my previous war opponent alliances did that. 
I’d try that method with my own alliance if we had the heroes to pull it off, but we still have a lot of lower levels who are still working on their benches.

Yeah, one thing i like here is that mitsuko flank. Could discourage blue stacks, since people tend to stack against flanks if they’re the same color.
I like evelyn and elk on offense but it seems risky on defense. Red doesnt have many dispellers but aegirs buff can still be easily reversed with wilbur
There are a lot of tools to take advantage of Aegir besides dispel, e.g. any Ramming Pulverizer or other -defense hero (e.g. Buddy, Athena). I love Hatter v. Aegir.
With an RGB tank, matched flanks aren’t usually considered wise; it encourages stacking against the flanks. Mitsuko is a nice counter to that strategy, though remember that she’s still vulnerable to blue tiles. If I were going this route, though, I’d more likely choose green flanks, so that a red stack is weak against the blue tank.
@Kerridoc thank you for the input! Do you think aegir is the best choice for a tank in my roster?
No, I think Ursena is a more troublesome tank. If you yellow-stack against her and don’t get the tiles to kill her before she charges, you’re in a world of hurt. I didn’t like the PYPYP lineup, but something like Marjana / Magni / Ursena / Vivica / Elkanen would be worth trying.
The real point with defenses is you can try them out as raid defenses and get overnight feedback on their effectiveness.
Thanks a lot! 20 ursena tanks
