Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
Ramming speed is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Jester (dodge trinket + damage trinket) - deathblow dealer
2nd: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Man at arms (Spiked shield + damage trinket) - guardian
4th: Vestal (stun trinket + accuracy trinket) - healer
PROS:
1) Porcupine
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) 2 disruptors
5) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Marks are a menace
4) Disruption is a menace
5) Low healing potential
Ramming speed is an odd damage team, that combines also stress and DoT. You have 2 riposters, 2 disruptors and 2 deathblowers, but unfortunately only one healer. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „mix damage + DoT“, „mix damage + stress“, „the finishers“ and „porcupine“. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser), it’s better to stick with damage variantion. And same for Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), bandit version is optimal.
My advice: Firstly open the riposte (Man at arms / Highwayman), next deal some damage with Jester. At last use Vestal for stunning / healing.
About score: I had 2 „victories“, one against apprentice and one against darkest player. What was the curiosity? Both played the same team, the same strategy and both left the match after 1 minute (they started as first, made 1st move, I made a move and after that they vanished). I’ve never seen this before. Coincidence? I dunno, one day I will show you these „matches“.
About team: Really quirky team. Porcupine, deathblowers, but only one healer. Now you see, where’s the problem and easy target. If you lose Vestal, you mostly lose the match. I had a luck and made some victories. One defeat against darkest player with lame based team (not suprising). The team is deadly, but very fragile and you must manage healing/guarding situation. Even if the score is this, I cannot give them a higher rate.
Rating: 3/5

This video shows a comp made by Sbrh and it shows 5 win matches.
Vagabonds is a ,,damage-stress“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Abomination (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Crusader (damage trinkets - damage dealer
3rd: Occultist (dodge trinket + stress trinket) - stress dealer
4th: Arbalest (damage trinket + healing trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Occultist + Arbalest)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) Great healing potential
6) 2 stunners
7) 3 disruptors
8) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) DoT is a menace
3) Disruption is a menace
Vagabonds is a damage team with great strenght of stress and little bit of DoT. All characters can (self)heal, next you have a powerful mark synergy, 2 stunners, 3 disruptors and 2 deathblowers. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „full stress“, „mix damage + stress“, „virtue team“ and „mark team“. I tried both variantions of Abomination (melee beast / DoT puker), both variantions are good.
My advice: Start with one of your disruptors (Occultist / Abomination), next use Crusader for stunning someone and lastly Arbalest for dealing massive damage.
What a team! On paper you have some many choices for playing and obviously it looks great. The reality can be the same, if you use proper trinkets and skills. Sadly I tried to find the original setup, but luck wasn’t on my side. This team is very powerful (the last match was pure curiosity, if it’s working), just don’t stall. Because of stalling I lost one match against darkest player with a decent team [Saturn’s special] - almost 22 rounds in match. Anyway, not a bad team! I like it!
For another tips and how play this team better, ask Sbrh (on Discord).
