Showcase one of teams named by Red Hook. This video shows 5 win matches.
The Blockade is a ,,damage-stress" team, here are roles of characters:
1st: Highwayman (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
2nd: Crusader (damage trinkets) - damage dealer
3rd: Bounty hunter (Grappling Mits + accuracy trinket) - deathblow dealer
4th: Occultist (dodge trinket + accuracy trinket) - stress dealer
PROS:
1) Mark synergy (Occultist / Bounty hunter + Highwayman)
2) Great damage output
3) Great stress output
4) Great DoT output
5) Great healing potential
6) 3 disruptors
7) 3 deathblowers
CONS:
1) Marks are a menace
2) Stuns are a menace
3) Stress is a menace
4) Disruption is a menace
5) RNGsus is a menace
The Blockade is a strange damage team, that combines also stress and DoT. You have 3 disruptors, 3 deathblowers (if we count Occultist’s „Sacrificial stab“ on afflicted character), 2 healers and mark synergy. Sadly this team is vulnerable against stress and mark teams.
I tried to play a few strategies, such as „mix damage + stress“, „double finishers“, „full stress“ and „mark team“. I tried both variantions of Highwayman (bandit / gunslinger), it’s better to stick with bandit version.
My advice: Start with Bounty hunter for disruption, next use Crusader for stunning someone, then Highwayman for dealing massive damage, and lastly Occultist for stressing / healing someone.
I was suprised, how that went. You see, all Highwayman comps are quite strange due to his 1st position. It would be much better to have him in 2nd position. But the great damage from the start of match, it’s very powerful. Sadly this team is very vulnerable against stress and mark teams, I lost 1 match against darkest player with stress team. But still, you can make a great pressure and defeat even harder opponents. I like this team!
Rating: 4/5
