Tactics[]

Playing this team[]

Game Plan Overwhelm the opposing team with a combination of pressure and flag pushing.
8v8

  • Pressure the opposing mid- and backline with your dervishes while the ranger tries to take out Restore Condition and Shield Guardian.
  • Converge on low targets and try to force a kill with your necromancer.

Flag

  • Run flags on your necromancer. Dual run with a dervish if necessary.
  • Push their flag with ranger and possibly a dervish.

Split

  • Defend with the runner, add ranger and necromancer if necessary.
  • Depending on their team setup you can try to get their knights soon with a brave push of a single dervish.

Lategame

  • Defend with ranger, necromancer and runner. Send fuse frontline into their base. Prot where needed.

Playing against this team[]

8v8 Situations

  • Spread out. This avoids AoE damage and makes it much easier for your monks to prot you and turns target switching of the opposing frontline less effective. Converging spikes will be more obvious.

Flag

  • Avoid falling behind on flags too much. Dual run if necessary.

Split

  • If you have good split options, keep collapsing and resplitting, trying to provoke your opponent to do a mistake so you can sneak out NPCs.

Lategame

  • Your knights will be lost.
  • If you have elementalists they might be better at killing their frontline in your base than dealing damage through their defense team.
