I watched the Carli-Orson battle, and in my opinion, Orson shouldn't move anywhere at all, but simply stand in place and kill all of Carli's troops with a direct attack from the hero or with crystals (kill the cart and the ballista). If Orson's troops start to move forward even a little, they will most likely die from a direct attack. And we should kill the spear masters first, not the harpooners, although the harpooners hit harder from a distance, but they have few shots, and the masters are much stronger in melee combat later.
I once defended with Orson, and Alboglabr came to me with a full set of runes and a devastating zapind, wiping out all the necromancers. There, many troops huddle near the shield, exposing themselves to the dragon's breath and the chain lightning of the jarls. It also becomes quite problematic and dangerous to destroy the cart, because after teleporting, the skeletons are left alone in the rear and are destroyed, and the liches will most likely be blocked. You just need to understand what tactics the opponent is using, and then you can apply a counter-tactic.

I once defended Orsam, and an albolabr came to me with a full set of runes and a devastating zap against all the Necropolis units. Many troops were huddled behind the shield, exposing themselves to the dragon's breath and the chain lightning of the Jarls. It also becomes quite problematic and dangerous to attack the cart, as after teleporting, the skeletons are left alone in the rear and destroyed, and the liches are likely to be blocked.

The cart and ballista are killed by a hero. Jarls are certainly scary, but I think when they arrive, there will be no more than 6 of them (they can be hit once or twice by dragons), as they are all in defense. The problem, of course, is killing the dragons, but there is a hero, a crystal, and mines for that. There is absolutely no need to teleport anyone – that's a guaranteed loss. And if you block the liches, there won't be a stack blocking. In general, there's also morale and luck, which play an intangible 20% role, as well as invulnerability and stunning.

I apologize if my previous comment offended anyone, especially the esteemed Wistrit, but I stand by my opinion. I haven't seen strong players split their Hunting Hounds for Lethos, as almost everyone shares their Witches, but sometimes even one extra Witch in a stack with a Vampire allows them to survive longer. I didn't suggest casting two mass spells in a row for Lethos; in my opinion, mass slowing is sufficient. But overall, everything is debatable and a matter of taste.
I wasn't offended; it's just that you can say a lot of things without arguments.
I didn't rely on the Hunting Hounds; they were just a backup for the end of the battle, to go into invisibility and cast Plague. But it didn't work out.
I didn't share the Witches for roughly the same reason.
More arguments, and it will be good:)
Tomorrow holds no promises

The pairing of Dirael and Jalib has been discussed many times. Ultimately, a single mistake decided the outcome. Erin versus Nimue. Both players made some noticeable mistakes, and the battle turned out to be interesting and tense. At the end, I'll ask - when was the last time you used Meteor Shower with Erin?! Karli defeats Ossir. By the way, I myself once lost playing as Ossir, but the starting conditions were completely different. Jalib versus Ossir. It was amusing to see how much trouble the gargoyles managed to cause, without killing anyone in the process...

Everyone seems to have disappeared from this thread:confused:
I'll post a few interesting replays. The first 3 are from a tournament on the league.
1. Anwen defeats Ibbu Dexterwar. It was just a very strong opponent. He won at least one out of four.
2. Battles with Ildarik. Deleth is definitely stronger than Erin, but the battle turned out to be quite tense.
3. Basically, it's the same as 2. Ravenna is stronger, but Shaka still gives her a good run for her money.
4. And a battle with Yubi. Axel defeats Shaka, albeit with some mistakes.
I would like to hear comments about the mistakes made.

Actually, these are mismatched pairs. The only interesting matchup is Raven-Shak, and perhaps Shak-Axel. In the second pair, a more or less strong opponent could easily defeat Axel with that tactic. However, in the Raven-Shak pair, I think they should focus all their efforts on defeating the vampires and using slowing effects, rather than speed boosts.

Ibba vs. Deleb. I think Ibba is much stronger on an empty arena. Here, Deleb got lucky with the arena. The main advantage of Deleb, as I see it, is to summon Cave Lords in time and use them to kill dragons, because otherwise, no one else can handle them.

Regarding Shakraven. Yes, of course, there are mistakes, I agree. I hope I'll learn to play duels someday.
What else about Axel-Shak? It's obvious how the archers opened up, but that was when everything was already decided. But how do you play Shak in such a tactic? Also defensively?
Deleb-Ibba is an interesting pair, as it's quite possible to see it in a tournament. I don't know if it's better to slow down or attack the melee units directly.
Well, I'll add my two cents: Razak-Ossir, the opponent allowed me to win. Somewhere it was discussed that Razak can, but I don't remember if there was a replay anywhere.
I'll post an interesting replay in the evening where Vitya, without archers, defeated Ossir.
It's interesting that there are still some duel pairings that many players haven't discovered. There's something to learn, at least for me.
Another replay with Direael, showing how she defeats Raven, I got lucky with the cursed.

I just discovered a bug today. Sinithar's enhanced Armageddon doesn't affect war machines, but the regular one does. I tested this with Deleb.
Ravenna and Dire's match was interesting; Dire was incredibly lucky, especially with the unicorn spell deflection, but the result was still impressive.

yeah, it's a bug, and not just with the sharing (
Yeah, I got lucky. It's interesting that this pair appeared randomly before. I played better then, but I lost, I was just a little short.

A few new replays.
Albolabris played as Dungeon and came up with something original; the result was noticeable.
Karli vs. Letos. A very intense battle.
Dirael vs. Vitya. Many mistakes were made by Vitya, but overall, he is stronger.

Yes, Abolarbis played well, he just messed up the ending, Jalib should have lost there. And Carly - Letos had a strange game. Letos grouped everything together - he immediately focused on control and his ranged units were out of position. In the ending, Letos should have used dragons to attack the towers instead of focusing on them, or he could have killed the ballista. And "Word" probably prolonged the battle in the end.

Abolarb played correctly, he just messed up the ending, Jhalib should have lost there. And the game between Carli and Letos was strange. Letos put everything in one pile – he immediately used Subdue and his ranged units were out of position. In the endgame, instead of attacking with Titans, Letos should have attacked with two ranged units or killed a Ballista. And the Word of Power probably prolonged the battle.
It seems Carli put everything in one pile. Yes, that's not the way to do it; one Subdue spell and the ranged power of the Dwarves is useless.
Abolarb is generally very strong. His setup is just a bit strange for Jhalib; usually, mages are placed in the corner so that it's convenient to cast Wall. Also, he used a Magic Bomb on the ranged units and then closed off the rest with a Fan of Fire, meaning he could have used the Magic Bomb on someone else, like the Channeling Druids. Although, it's easier to see that from the situation itself. The Walls for Dira are also a questionable decision – they don't encourage a long siege of the mages. A simple Magic Bomb would have dealt as much damage as a Rain of Arrows from two Walls, and with a bit of luck, even more, while using three times less mana.
Recently, Abolarb defeated my Airia with Carli. There, something was wrong with the morale and luck of the blonde, while the Dwarf had good morale. And I also put my own units in a bad position once, exposing them to Battle Fury. When you're just unlucky and your opponent is also playing well, it really gets to me. I almost lost to Delebe with the Fox faction; there was no morale or luck either, so I barely managed to win.

Thank you for the comments. In the match against Jalib, I wanted to position my units in a way that wouldn't expose two units to the dragons, but I didn't have time. The barrage of walls surprised me, so I recorded that battle. Then there was another wall, and that was it; Dir had no mana left. Albolabr disconnected, but he could have still put up a fight at the end, although without mana and the Phoenix, his chances were slim.
I definitely played poorly against Karli, to put it mildly. Letos should have won.

I have a question: did I play Dyraell correctly, and did my opponent play Shako correctly? And in general, is Dyraell stronger or Shako?
