Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
Quarantine specialist is a ,,stress-DoT" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Man at arms (Spiked shield + accuracy trinket) - guardian
2nd: Houndmaster (dodge trinkets) - DoT dealer
3rd: Plague doctor (stress trinket + accuracy trinket) - DoT dealer
4th: Arbalest (damage trinket + healing trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Houndmaster + Arbalest)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) Great healing potential
6) 2 guardians
7) 3 disruptors
CONS:
1) DoT is a menace
2) Stress is a menace
3) Disruption is a menace
Quarantine specialist is a stress team, with great strenght of DoT and pure damage. You have 3 disruptors, 3 (self)healers, 2 guardians and a mark synergy. Sadly this team is vulnerable against DoT and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „mix damage + DoT“, „the finishers“, „mark team“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser) and Plague doctor (stress / DoT), for both of them all variantions are actually good.
My advice: Good choice, if you start guarding the backline immediately (Man at arms + Plague doctor; Houndmaster + Arbalest). If you don’t have the guardians as this specific role, start with Man at arms for opening the riposte and then use Plague doctor for applying stress / DoT. Lastly use Arbalest for potential healing or damaging.
About score: A match against apprentice player (in rematch), after his 2nd turn, when he couldn’t hit Houndmaster, he surrendered. The match wasn’t even 1 minute long.
About team: On the paper they don’t look so good, because of Plague doctor in the middle position. But you can make very easily the pressure via Plague doctor and Houndmaster. And the „usual strategy“ - guard the backline… absolutely great! Sadly I lost only once against darkest player with nice DoT team. If you use the right skills in right time, you can win even against harder opponents. Very nice team!
Rating: 4/5
