Showcase one of basic teams in Butcher's Circus. This video shows 5 win matches.
AI has better builds comp is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Bounty hunter (Grappling Mits + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
4th: Arbalest (damage trinket + healing trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Bounty hunter / Arbalest + Highwayman)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great healing potential
5) 3 disruptors
6) 3 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Disruption is a menace
3) DoT is a menace
4) RNGsus is a menace
AI has better builds comp is a damage team, that combines also stress and little bit of DoT. You have 3 disruptors, 3 deathblowers (if we count Arbalest’s „Sniper shot“ on marked character), 2 healers and powerful mark synergy. Unfortunately this team is vulnerable against stress and DoT teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „support Crusader“, „double finisher“, „mark team“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), both variantions are actually good.
My advice: Start with Bounty hunter for disruption, next use Highwayman for opening the riposte, then Crusader for stunning someone and lastly Arbalest for dealing massive damage.
Quite a nice team. The powerful mark synergy between Arbalest and Bounty hunter, stress output from Crusader and Highwayman. You can make easily great pressure to the opponent, BUT beware! Even one little mistake can cost you the whole match. I was defeated 3x - 2x by darkest players with based mark teams [World dominantion + different mark team] and once by… a novice player… with healless team. Yes. HEALLESS TEAM defeats the powerful team. I’m kinda traumatized, because everything worked perfectly, but in one moment RNGsus turns back to me and it was over, nothing I can do. The defeats from darkest players were actually good played matches, but that novice match… embarrassing.
With good setup you can beat everyone, there’s still a chance. But because of players in queue and the score, I can give them only the mid rate. Not bad, but I was hoping for best results.
Rating: 3/5
