This video shows a comp made by Nodens and it shows 5 win matches in a row.
Serpent Root is a ,,damage-stress“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Shieldbreaker (dodge trinket + accuracy trinket) - DoT dealer
2nd: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Man at arms (protection trinket + accuracy trinket) - guardian
4th: Antiquarian (Tears of the Lost + dodge trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Great damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great DoT output
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 disruptors
6) 2 guardians
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) Marks are a menace
3) Stuns are a menace
Serpent Root is an odd damage team with great strength of stress and DoT. All characters can make AoE damage/stress, next you have 2 healers, 2 guardians and 2 disruptors. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „support Crusader“, „mix damage + DoT“, „original setup“ and „full stress“. I tried both variantions of Man at arms (damager / stresser), both variantions are actually good.
My advice: Start with Man at arms for buffing the team OR guarding Antiquarian. Next use Antiquarian for regeneration spamming, then Crusader for stunning someone and lastly Shieldbreaker for disruption / dealing damage.
At the start I was a little bit skeptical, because you don’t have any synergies and the damage output isn’t too big. BUT you have some advantages, like 2 guardians or 2 healers. Even with disruption in your team, you can manage that and make a match victorious. I was very suprised, how went the matches against harder opponents. Very cool and nice! I like this team, unusual, but very fun to play! And the perfect score… just awesome! You’ve should try them too!
For another tips and how play this team better, ask Nodens (on Discord).
Rating: 5/5
