53

So Expat goes Boom, Zero does Icy-Hot and it is over, right?

54

Yup. Ambuscade is lost in the Unforgiving Wasteland. He's much easier this way, I have to say.

55

That's what she had.

And it's game over no later than the end of my turn. :slight_smile:

56

No it's not, I changed it when I saw his correction.

VICTORY :D

57

Gah! Why won't you guys just lose so that way TeamRonwayG+ will be the victors of the Grudge match?

58

We thought about losing to Ambuscade, but then we did the math and it was just way too hard.  You start hitting your allies for him even, but then oops, he tripped on the hero that you incapped first and fell off a cliff that wasn't even there a moment ago and your like "WTF, we spent five rounds damaging each other for that?"

59

OK, guys -- we've got Voss, in the Tomb of Anubis. We have left to us Chrono-Ranger, Haka, Legacy, Nightmist, Omnitron-X, Scholar, Tachyon, Tempest, Visionary, Wraith. I'm less concerned about having Legacy in this round since we aren't playing on Advanced. I like Tempest vs. Voss mechanically and thematically. I think Visionary should be left for round 4.

I can run Voss for this match if we want.

Ideas about a lineup?

60

The 4's are Iron Legacy, The Matriarch and The Chairman.  We need to shut down damage and tank a few different damage types.

Legs/Tach is awesome in any of those fights.  Tempest as well.  Haka is epic for ground pound, savage mana, rampage, etc, savage rampage can absolutely crush the Chairman, but Visionary and Brain burn can as well.

I'd go 

Omni

Wraith

Nightmist

+1 of Haka, Visionary or the Scholar.
