This video shows a comp made by Kaschey and it shows 5 win matches.
Swiss knife is a ,,damage-stress“ team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Leper (damage trinket + accuracy trinket) - damage dealer
2nd: Shieldbreaker (dodge trinket + damage trinket) - damage dealer
3rd: Jester (dodge trinket + damage trinket) - deathblow dealer
4th: Crusader (healing trinkets) - healer
PROS:
1) Great damage output
2) Great stress output
3) Great DoT output
4) Great healing potential
5) 2 disruptors
6) Disruption isn’t a menace
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
4) DoT is a menace
Swiss knife is a damage team, that combines also stress and DoT. All characters can make AoE damage, next you have 2 healers and 2 disruptors. Sadly this team is vulnerable against mark and stress teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, like „original setup“, „support Crusader“, „mix damage + DoT“ and „the finishers“. The „mix damage + DoT“ is probably the best strategy for playing.
My advice: Start with Jester for buffing the team, next use Leper for an immediate attack, then Shieldbreaker for disruption and lastly Crusader for dealing some damage OR healing (stress).
Well, now this team. I have a mixed feelings about this team. As you can see, the team doesn’t have much advantages, only few. The disruption here isn’t so bad, it’s possible to move the pushed Leper forward thanks to Shieldbreaker and Jester. And the damage output is big, if you buff the team. UNFORTUNATELY if you will face some stress teams, you will lose. No chance. I lost 4x - 4x against darkest players (two with strange DoT teams, one with stress team and one with mark team). I almost lost the penultimate match against novice player. Horrendous. The big suprise for me was the last match - against the team owner. Quite a nice match.
My conclusion - don’t lose Jester or Shieldbreaker. If they'll die, you cannot win the match, because you will lose the momentum/pressure for opponent. Playing this was… mid.
For another tips and how play this team better, ask Kaschey (on Discord).
Rating: 3/5
