What does it take to reach #1

Well obviously that’s different for everyone. But I decided to record my last leaderboard run. I didn’t expect it to run this long, but I didn’t realize I was way low in cups. Still, I really enjoy these runs, they’re fun and challenging at the same time…

"Had some time to spare and I decided to record the way I usually do my cup runs… I am strictly a 3.1.1 raider these days and I’ve built my roster around this strategy. Also, I have moved away from snipers on my raids and instead focus on maximum damage by combining AoE (Attack on Everyone), Splash Attack (Hit 3 heroes) and stacking DoTs (Damage over Time). Each team has its own strategy in the order specials are charged and executed. They also each have a safety net hero that helps deal with unfriendly boards.

I try to keep all my raids under 2 mins (1:30 minutes max preferably) whenever possible during cup runs since revenges and losses can set you back quickly making the run much harder."


So here it is, split into 3 parts, 32 raids for a 730 cup gain…
I’ve listed the people I raided in each part in case they are here or someone knows them.

Thanks for posting this @Wormwood.

We just had a Helios raiding party the other night. I think we got 3 into the top 10 at the same time. Couldn’t quite time out the 4th.

Fun to see your strategy!

Yeah man, it was fun putting it together. I remember watching these non-stop when I first started. I still enjoy the vids. I’m not sure how other people do their runs, or what strategy if any they use but I’d be curious to find out. Maye someone will share how they do it…

I pretty much just curse at my phone for 40 minutes. Break into the top 10, then get blasted back to the Stone Age.

It’s a tried and true strategy.

I’ll record my next run and share.

Yeah. I have seen you in action. You’re being overly modest.

I like your “Attack on Everyone” (vs “Area of Effect”). :slight_smile:

:sweat_smile: thx… “Area of Effect” never made any sense to me…

In older games, it meant an attack or spell that didn’t affect a single person, but affected an area, and anyone inside that area was hit: “area of affect”. (I think it comes from D&D, though I could be mistaken.) :wink:
