This video shows a comp made by SergetheGrim and it shows 5 win matches in a row.
Serge’s special is a ,,damage-DoT“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Flagellant (Gauntlet of Absolution + damage trinket) - DoT dealer
2nd: Jester (dodge trinket + damage trinket) - deathblow dealer
3rd: Abomination (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
4th: Arbalest (Stabilizing Tiller + healing trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Great damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great DoT output
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 disruptors
6) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Disruption is a menace
Serge’s special is a nice damage team with great strenght of DoT and stress. You have 3 (self)healers, 2 disruptors and 2 deathblowers (if we count Arbalest’s „Sniper shot“ on marked character). Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress and DoT teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „full stress“, „mix damage + DoT“, „the finishers“ and „support Flagellant“. I tried also both variantions of Abomination (melee beast / DoT puker) - it’s better to stick with DoT variantion.
My advice: Start with Abomination for opening the riposte, next use Jester for applying DoT, then Flagellant also for applying DoT OR if he have a skill „Reclaim“, use it. Lastly Arbalest for dealing damage / healing.
A nice based team! You can make a pressure for opponent, you don’t worry about healing and many possibilities for applying DoT or stress. Unfortunately I got only these players, so it wasn’t too much challenging. Having 0 loses is nice, but against novices… not great. If I could get at least 1 or 2 harder opponents (champion-darkest), the rating would be much higher. Don’t get me wrong, I like this team, but the opponents… mid.
For another tips and how play this team better, ask SergetheGrim (on Discord).

This video shows a comp made by Baguera and it shows 5 win matches.
Regular boys is a ,,damage-stress“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Man at arms (Spiked shield + accuracy trinket) - guardian
4th: Arbalest (healing trinket + damage trinket) - healer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Arbalest + Highwayman)
2) Porcupine
3) Great damage output
4) Great stress output
5) Great healing potential
6) 3 disruptors
7) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
Regular boys is a damage team, that combines also stress and little bit of DoT. You have 3 disruptors, 2 healers, 2 riposters, 2 deathblowers (if we count Arbalest’s „Sniper shot“ on marked character) and weird mark synergy. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress and mark teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „support Crusader“, „full stress“, „the finishers“ and „Porcupine“. I tried both variantions of Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), the bandit version is the best for playing. And Man at arms (damager / stresser), the damage variantion is more useful than stress.
My advice: Start with one of your riposters (Highwayman / Man at arms), next use Crusader for stunning someone and lastly Arbalest for dealing some damage.
Firstly I must say, I really tried to find the original setup, unfortunately I didn’t found, so I had to improvise. On the paper it looks great - so many choices and possibilities, ALMOST no disadvantages (everything can be cleared, riposted, healed). I was hyped for this team…
And after the set of matches I’m dissapointed. Why? Everything on paper looks nice, but in reality it’s worthless. Porcupine strategy works only against easy opponents, mark synergy isn’t great (who need „Pistol/Sniper shot“ to just use precious Arbalest’s turn?), healing only with 2 decent healers and most importantly… RNGsus. Sometimes you will miss every hit, even with buffs, sometimes you will not deal the deathblow (in one lost match I’ve got deathblow on 1st try by opponent, but for his characters, even 40% deathblow resist wasn’t enough to kill that injured character). I lost 4x - mostly against harder opponents with based teams [Hit squad, Septic shock team], 1x against an apprentice player in rematch.
The biggest problem with this team is… you have almost everything, what’s the team most need. But you can’t make a good pressure to opponent. Even with this… „bad“ score, I can give them at least „mid“ rate, because of versatility. But honestly, I wouldn’t play this anymore.
