Current War 4/28/16

So here's how this particular war is working. We have an agreement with the other alliance we are fighting against to use only 2 star heroes as defenders with one 4 star champion set in each battle group as the boss. So if you haven't joined war yet, join up, place ONLY 2 star defenders and what attack phase begins, bring your best champions in to fight and we get higher participation bonus and potentially could win the war overall if we defeat their 4 star bosses. If you have any questions let me know.

yeah drez you are right but then if we know the stats of all the players in our alliance and their fighters .... we can mix and match and choose which players place their defenders as .... with every duplicate fighter power rating goes up .... on the other side we are using our best heroes to attack we would take em out no sweat

When we battle within the network of alliances, it really comes down to who can get done faster and who can clear the boss. The boss' on the war with the agreed upon tactic will be a 4 star champion. So it's really a toss up as to who will actually win. For this particular war, we're severely outgunned, and they're giving us the opportunity to at least get a pretty good completion reward in the event of a probable loss on our side.

So they didn't use 2 stars on defense. The very first guy I faced was a 3 star, that was one of the very first people you had to face because you had to take him out to unlink the nodes for the others. I faced a 3 star Electro that had a rating of 3500. I'm not even sure how that is possible considering my maxed out 3 star only has a ranking of 1650 or so and he wasn't getting any sort of bonus from other linked nodes.

Much like our crew, a few of them didn't pay attention to their leaders and acted as usual with the war. They had like 4 or 5 people that didn't read what their leadership told them about this war. We had far more. It happens.

I honestly don't really see how this will benefit us. We will still get participation rewards no matter what is used as long as we participate. If both teams use their top 4 star player as a boss, we are still in trouble. I mean most of us who have 4 star heroes from what I have seen are about at level 3/5. If they are using a 5/5 max ranked 4 star we are in trouble. If both sides use their best heroes on offense, they will still roll right through our defenders. So I just don't see how all this really works out in the end.

I'm not trying to be difficult, I just don't understand why everyone thinks this is so great. If we are mismatched there is really nothing that is going to offset that as it is set up now. Now if they agree to only use 2 stars on defense and 3 stars on offense it could work because then we would really be on a more even footing.
