Interesting, I used to think Garuna was a second-rate hero, but you're saying something completely different here. Thanks, Antonagu, for enlightening me.

Regarding the Iris-Dread pairing. Browse the forum; there are some good replays of this matchup here. There are no counter-heroes against Iris if a strong player is playing her. At best, Ossir, Dread, and even White Knight are interesting matchups, and then it's almost even with Leto, Orson, and Jalib, maybe I forgot someone. By the way, the only hero I haven't beaten Iris with is Garuna).

Well, you have the same stats, after all. The djinn and golems didn't care about Armageddon, and all the others suffered greatly (it was even a bit strange that there wasn't double damage against mages, since gargoyles were standing nearby).

I wrote that you shouldn't feel sorry for the Order's troops, and then I started talking about their defense. Contradiction, I agree, but I meant preserving as many stacks as possible, not the number of creatures in them. That is, we don't look at the damage from Armageddon to our own troops – who cares. This is a common tactic for the Order.

As a result, a bunch of rakshasa died (I didn't eliminate them, on the contrary, they would have been incredibly useful, but they suffered a lot from your spells.

Oh, come on! Next time, I'll throw them into the attack just for you :D And I wrote "eliminated," but I meant "noted." Such inattention gives the impression that you "thoroughly" analyze my arguments as well :D

No, I think I've analyzed it. Okay, if that's the case.

Nah, Haven easily wins against Sylvan, even without Armageddon's Blade, what are you talking about?

Old Jaleb-Anwen pairing. It seems like the elf has a significant advantage. But there's a tactic: put the mages in the corner, and the Phoenix covers them. Here, it's important that the dragons don't bypass the mages. The replay is attached. In my opinion, Jaleb made mistakes: a delayed shield on the mages, the Hive (although debatable, as he should have focused on blocking the nymphs first), and he should have started by attacking the dragons (although this is also debatable, as the dragons themselves provide cover). I'm waiting for comments.

It seems that, firstly, Jalibu got lucky with the placement of his ATVs (it's quite possible that the dragons will be eliminated first, and if they guess the location of the "hiding spot" for the summoned phoenix, that would be even worse); and secondly, I think the elves didn't quite get the placement right (in my opinion, the dragons shouldn't be placed exactly in the center, but with an offset).

Okay, I'll try to break it down into points, although it's a bit complex. I recently celebrated the birth of my second daughter with my friends.
Firstly, not all of this is that crucial. Other aspects of this duel concerned me much more. Yes, definitely.
1. Jalib was weakened by the Attribute Bonus. In my opinion, in duels, Jalib is used slightly more often than Anven dragons. Let's say it's 50/50.
2. Deployment. Well, that's another reduction of half of what the Elves had. That's 25. Plus, the dragons should attack the Cursed ones, dealing another 40% or more of the remaining 25. Ugh, my head is spinning. It's all approximate. What am I getting at? That with skillful play, Jalib's initial chances against Anven are reduced to a minimum. However, a skillful Anven player can completely crush Jalib.
Campfire.
The Shaman beats the drum.
Anven, Deleb, Vittorio, Haggesh, and all the others are ranked in order of strength.
I wanted to distinguish between skillful and unskilled play. So, skillful play can be achieved by only a couple of players, at most. But there are also Padawans.
