Multiplayer Defense Teams

[RACCAR-8000]

First do we get to pick are defenseive lineup ? If so I'm thinking green bomber boy, red wicker man, and maybe a PDK ( but only if he gets his wings back🙄). Idk about witch Eddie to use , but most my team is built for high damage not defense. So they might not make it to there first attack. What's your best defense?

Basically every attacker will win my team even I passed the whole game depend on activating the effect or my team wont pass to second round either win or loss

As currently configured, game is purely attack driven. Since Eddie's gets to fire the first shot, all you need is a team that can cripple/kill the opposition. Having 2-3 5* talisman red characters is all you need to auto farm most levels. No real reason to think about defense as yet. Maybe PvP mode change that, but devs have not shared any specifics as yet....

Because the Campaign and Dungeons currently consist of 3-5 waves, it is much more desirable to use characters that can OHKO the opposition, so you have as much health with you for the next wave. Outlasting your opponents is just less viable because you'll generally be a lot more beat up when you reach your next wave. Also, most bosses tend to have more HP than you do, which discourages this even further.

Of course, I doubt PVP will be wave based. Hence, tanky teams may be a bit nicer there. On the other hand, Skill Shards generally up the offensive power of character moves, and other than improved heals, there are few defensive skills that Skill Shards level up

It's a bit similar to Pokemon, really. When playing through the game, the glass cannons are way more efficient than a bunch of tanks, but with the competitive scene has had its share of good tanky teams.

As for an actual answer to the question: most Sentinels will do fine. Pharaoh Dog King is also quite sturdy and his Passive is actually good now. Pharaoh Dog has a nice heal, Magus Allied Soldier's Reflect shield is still defensively viable and I believe Magus Golden Son is also pretty good. Assassin Golden Son may be interesting due to his Endure skill, and Gunner Undead Allied Soldier has a pretty good heal+shield move. Warrior Troll and Warrior Pyro Soldier also carry nice defensive buffs with them.
