Video dump [Defense videos]

[Sag7272]

Videos are invaluable aspect and we can learn much from them so I fully understand Sag below.

Actually reporting a better hold rate since videos..
Probably a coincidence thought..

Actually team, beside some tweaks, is exactly the same lol
Biggest upside seeing those videos is seeing your def "In the wild" there's a point in testing things in the manager where you can't go further & just hope it unfolds as expected once someone else than you will be attacking..

Giving away some surprises seems a fair compromise & helps lower ranked players getting ideas in the process

But that's me... Can also understand the secrecy of some, I really like that there's a consensus on just filming those ok with it


(First time I quote myself, it's kinda weird)

I attacked some guys from the list so I'm expecting to see videos of my poor team smashed to the ground as well, would like to see that. Come on guys, share the videos.

Yeah i thought i recorded you but did not, next time for sure

My defense is SO easy to beat if you go first - and manageable if you know the right tricks - but can be a real pain if you go in second without the right team. Like I said - if defense turns out to be a bust (which it very well may cause they often are) I'm happy to share freely again as this lulu defense may be changed. As a rule I agree these videos don't matter - but right now my defense is a one trick pony so keeping things as "mysterious" as possible

True, your team is weak if attacker goes first. But if attacker goes second he can only win if wrath does not remove all buffs in the first move. All buffs gone and the second wrath doing the power move translates into defeat 9 out of 10 cases. I'll try again as soon as i see you on my list. Zidar's team also is hard to beat if you go second

Inspired by Gmac's defense, only switched WUR for Nomad.

Would love to put my current attacking team to have a go at defense, but am still saving it out of sight

Connection is dreadful here where I'm currently at, so I will have to go through the videos at a later time.

Definitely not 9/10 but it can be a challenge depending on how the cards fall. Holds definitely better this week and have occured against both top players and the lower ranked. But if you go first you may as well hit Auto and grab a beer cause you'll win every time

I'm at 98% this week with only two losses - you and Lulero - so I'll second this.

Haven't faced Kamuz yet though

hey guys,

i swiched my defense today, so please take me from the list from for the next time. will see how it goes first but it seems i have to swich it again. can't hold anyone anymore kinda frustrating at the moment...

[Fudjo]

I'm not a top player around here, but I sometimes get attacked by you folks. Feel free to record my games! I'd love to see myself getting my ass kicked.

Okay, hope you don't start a trend

I know that Gmac's absence is tempting, but that won't change too much in top 10- they will simply shift +1

Filming someone's defense in my opinion isn't decisive as probably .9 of the score comes from (Saturday) attacks.

We've all learned a lot from these videos and this trend of "put me in, pull me out" will be the death of this thread; whoever aims for top 25 will memorize your defense and will simply adapt in the second go. Top 10 probably not even that.

I can't keep the videos flowing for two weeks simply because of being on paid mobile connection (3G speed at best, errors lurking) with no flat around, so please keep the vids flowing!

Anyway, looking forward to meeting my VHE incognito with your defense to see if I help with your ratio

Yeah I don't think pulling out of this thread is gonna have much of an effect on the hold % although, we'll definitely want to hear from both Nicko and Slauki (and anyone else who removed themselves) after Saturday to see if they noticed a huge difference.

It's helped me a lot and is still enjoyable to watch everyone's styles... keep me in and please continue to post any victories or defeats against me!
