Not mentioned in the patch, but opponent AI doesn't always go for skull matches now. I lost a GW because I gave the AI a useless skull match but it used one of it's troop's ability instead.

You can set Defense AI priorities on the PvP Defenders screen. I don't know how to make it work with your Guild Wars defense teams, but it is something to watch for now.

GW uses your PVP defense team, so it's likely it also uses the AI priorities. It's just that the default AI prioritize abilities now over skull matches, even in explore/challenge mode, something it wasn't doing before.

Just had the longest fight in guild wars

Was facing a goblin team that kept the board and destroyed 3 of my troops while I was able to kill some of his goblins.
I was left with a 0 attack Silvermaiden vs his 0 attack Goblin Rocket that had close to 200 hp.

Took almost 30 minutes chipping at his life, exploding rows with skulls...





I didn't even know there was a 1k life limit.

No idea which is better right now. I suspect that it’s faster to win rank 10 with a full hunter team (currently worth x16 for me) than to beat rank 20 with a captain-only team (which would be worth x8). I’ll have to play a while longer to test the theory, though.

I use 2 bounty hunters with Infernus and Aisha for rank 20. No losses yet. Thats 200 x 13 bonus for 2600 points. I can only reliably kill rank 11 with my full bounty hunters team which is only 110 x 18 bonus for 1980 points.

I probably should add that one of my bounty hunter troop is green, 2 others are blue and I used an orb on my Ice Wraith to make it Legendary.

How close are the battles using that team? I have been using Gorgotha, Infernus, Yao Gai, Ice Wraith on 20. I don't really come that close to losing, but they have a lot of life to chew through without having a tank.


Some I just melt through once Infernus gets going, some have been fairly close. Ice Wraith doesn't survive often. I'm up to 48800 points with 3 battles remaining for today so I would assume 100% success on a dozen rank 20 battles? That includes one where Infernus was the lone survivor and only won because Lamia and Valkyrie couldn't touch him.

Anyone got a team that doesn't suck for the invasion? I somehow still don't have a Wulfgarok and that is seriously a roadblock. The decent troops all colourblock each other.

Wulfgarok is only really useful early on since he can't devour towers. I assume I'll replace it with Mang eventually making my team:

Sir Wulfric
Totem Guardian
Spiritdancer
Wulgarok/Mang
Trident banner that will probably switch to Slayer banner when I switch to Mang

Wargare are seriously lacking utility troops, thank god they introduced Spiritdancer this week

What defense teams are y'all using for Guild Wars? Here are some of my more effective ones this week:

I need suggestions for Purple, Blue and Red though because my teams got waxed this week. Even my Dwarf team on red week got wrecked.

My blue defense is:
Asura
Infernus
Famine
Elemaugrim
it went 6/8 this week

My brown defense was golbins, went 2/5

My yellow defense needs some work, this:
Wild Fang
Dark Maiden
Visk
Spirit Fox
only went 1/5

My purple defense is:
Korvash
Valk
Kraken
Mab
it went 1/3

My green defense was Glaycion/Doomhammer, it went 0/3

Red defense is standard dwarves, currently 1/2

I'll give Glaycion team another shot next time, see if it fares better. It's my regular pvp defense currently and its doing ok

Invasion troop advice? There are so many demons to choose. The event weapon looks interesting; I'm assuming boosted by all enemy towers means 'boosted by the attack' of all enemy towers. I'm doing the first bits with Psion, Gorg, Kerb, and Elemaugrim - but I don't think this is the team that will get to the end.

I've been using
Sir Mordayne
Hellcat
Yao Guai
Hero

It's been cake so far, but only at tower 86, dunno how it will fare later on
Hellcat feeds Mordayne and Yao, and Yao easily gets rid of barriers if needed. I haven't cast my Hero's weapon a single time so that slot can be anything.

For the Delve event, if you go past your current room level in All Seeing Eye, it sticks. I had it at level 100 for farming and because I got to 110 in the event, my regular Delve is now 110...

waffles beyond waffles posted:

Gorgotha/Divinia make the Guardian's Delve fairly trivial, with the exceptions of transformation or troop movement abilities. Try to fill out you colors and explode your way through the Delve.

Tacet was running Gorgotha/Divinia/Megavore/Queen Aurora. I don't have the unicorn, so I swapped her for the Arachnaean Weaver with the Lantern Banner.

I think the Weaver is a better choice, since Megavore is basically true damage. You can target troops in back to get them within the kill range of the Weaver, who can then explode the board as well. It doesn't happen every match, but there's been times where the Weaver will fill itself a few times in a row, ending the fight quickly.

Megavore's 8% kill is totally unreliable, but pretty great when it works!

But you don't need Megavore or Weaver to utilize the engine or Gorgotha/Divinia.

I've been using something similar for both Delve

Mountain Crusher +9 (Titan)
Forest Troll
Arachnaean Weaver
Megavore

It's trivial so far but I stopped at level 110 to farm

Likewise. I think I'll experiment with trying to build a team around Glaycion.

Are there any troops like Princess Fizzbang that explode a board and then give an extra turn? I really like the gameplay of using her to generate mana and a fresh board to scout for automatic 4- or 5-matches when I use Glaycion or Wrath's abilities

Nobend Brothers but he's even more unreliable than Fizzbang.

Weaver isn't as good against towers, since they can't be webbed. Plus it shares the colors of the the best Legendaries, Yao Guai and Emporer Liang.

Maybe once I get to tower level 105+ it's gonna be struggling, but at 95, Weaver is still great. Sifu's damage isnt very high, but target the last tower, finish it with Weaver who fills back Sifu/Crusher/Diviner, rince and repeat. It's been cake to get to 95, but it might struggle later on. Yao Guai would serve the same purpose but I prefer the board explosion, and Diviner is a great complement to Weaver and Sifu.

quote:

I'm surprised more teams aren't using Emperor Liang as their gem gen. What makes Diviner/Lady Anariel a better choice. I'd have thought being able to pick the color would give you a lot of extra flexibility over the other two.

Personally, because I'm using Mountain Crusher and create Duststorms, it's really easy to fill up Diviner.

Is it just me or does the new Mythic not seem all that interesting? Sure, it counters all-divine teams, I suppose, and doing disease on purple match sounds interesting as well, but that's pretty much it. Not sure if it's really worth going for it, what do you think?

You know they hosed up when they have to design a card exclusively to counter a specific deck. It's pretty meh vs other decks, 25-40 damage to all and board explosion that might not happen isn't worth a troop that cost 24 imo.
