This video shows a comp made by THEREALSPARTAN and it shows 5 win matches.
Ban this comp is a ,,damage-stress“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Man at arms (Spiked shield + accuracy trinket) - guardian
2nd: Bounty hunter (Grappling Mits + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
3rd: Arbalest (damage trinket + healing trinket) - damage dealer
4th: Occultist (stress trinket + dodge trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Occultist + Bounty hunter / Arbalest)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) 4 disruptors
5) 3 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) DoT is a menace
3) Disruption is a menace
Ban this comp is a damage team, that combines also stress and little bit of DoT. All characters are disruptors, nex you have 3 deathblowers (if we count Arbalest’s „Sniper shot“ on marked character and Occultist’s „Sacrificial stab“ on afflicted 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 „mark team“, „full stress“, „original setup“ and „double finisher“. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser), both are actually good.
My advice: Start with Bounty hunter for disruption, next use Man at arms for opening the riposte OR buffing the team. Then Arbalest for dealing massive damage and lastly Occultist for dealing some stress.
Now this team… Mark synergy, deathblowers, damage output, that’s great. I was hoping for quick and easy matches, since I got these powerful characters. Unfortunately I didn’t happen. I struggled very long time against novice players and even with darkest players. I lost only once against darkest player with DoT team, but if you watch closely the novice matches, you can see the team’s problem.
If you lose one character, you will lose the momentum and you will struggle HARDLY. Of course the best approach is „mark team“, but if you try different strategy, I’m pretty sure, you will not make it. But with RNGsus on your side and good setup, you can beat harder opponents. I have no clue, why should be this team banned, because of great advantage or desperate struggling, still even with these players and quite good score, I’m giving them the MID rate.
For another tips and how play this team better, ask THEREALSPARTAN (on Discord).
Rating: 3/5
