This video shows a comp made by Sheperd Doggy and it shows 5 win matches in the row.
Sheperd’s special is a ,,damage-stress“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Shieldbreaker (dodge trinket + damage trinket) - damage dealer
2nd: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Bounty hunter (Grappling Mits + damage trinket) - deathblow dealer
4th: Arbalest (healing trinket + damage trinket) - damage dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Bounty hunter + Arbalest)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great healing potential
5) 3 disruptors
6) 2 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Stress is a menace
2) DoT is a menace
3) Disruption is a menace
Sheperd’s special is a nice damage team, that combines also stress and little bit of DoT. You have 3 disruptors, 2 deathblowers (if we count Arbalest’s „Sniper shot“ on marked character), 2 healers and powerful mark synergy. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress and DoT teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „original setup“, „support Crusader“, „mix damage + DoT“ and „full stress“. The „original setup“ is the best strategy for playing. In „support Crusader“ I tried even the „double finisher“ strategy.
My advice: Start with Bounty hunter for disruption OR marking someone, next use Arbalest for dealing massive damage. Then Crusader for stunning someone and lastly Shieldbreaker for dealing some damage.
What a team! Really shame, that I got only these players, so it wasn’t challenging. I’m glad, that I got AT LEAST a veteran player for trying „original setup“, the champion-darkest player would be much better option for comparison, but it is what it is. The team has great advantages, 3 disruptors, mark synergy and great healing. I like this team, sadly I cannot give them higher rate than „mid“, because of players. Still, not a bad team!
For another tips and how play this team better, ask Sheperd Doggy (on Discord).
Rating: 3/5
