Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches in a row.
Mark and Bark is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Bounty hunter (damage trinket + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
2nd: Man at arms (Protector’s Kite + stun resist trinket) - guardian
3rd: Occultist (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Houndmaster (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Bounty hunter / Houndmaster + Occultist)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) Great healing potential
6) 2 guardians
7) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
4) DoT is a menace
Mark and Bark is a damage team, that combines also stress and DoT. You have 2 guardians, 2 deathblowers, 2 (self)healers and very powerful mark synergy. Unfortunately this team is vulnerable against DoT and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „double finisher“, „mark team“, „mix damage + DoT“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser), both variantions are good.
My advice: Start with Bounty hunter for disruption, next use Man at arms for buffing the team OR guarding someone. Then use Houndmaster for dealing massive damage to the marked character OR guard the remaining team member. Lastly Occultist for healing / stressing.
What a nice team! Using the mark synergy between Bounty hunter, Houndmaster and Occultist is very useful and it makes a great pressure to the opponent. Another great advantage is in 2 guardians, if your Man at arms is as damager, his defence is (probably) impenetrable. Unfortunaly even with the perfect score, I cannot give them the highest rate, because of players. Playing against novice players wasn’t that challenging. I’m 100% sure, if I’ll face the harder opponents, the score would be different. Nice team, but mid rate.
Rating: 3/5
