Saw Tacet using a team using 3x Iron Hawk with Dust Devil. It took longer to load the game then to win it on explore 1. Doing \<5 sec games will be insane for gnome farming next Vault Event. ---

Yeah but no Hero xp. Also, 99.9% of players won’t have more than 1 copy of Iron Hawk so my team suggestion is doable by a much wider range of players and only maybe 3 seconds slower. ---

If you’re turn dropping, you may as well go back to Rowanne/Maraji Queen/Leprechaun ---

Because that team isn’t a guaranteed 2 turn match therefore it’s slightly slower. We’re at the point in GoW now that even a tiny improvement in games played per hour is hard to do. Ironhawk does that. For those who aren’t lucky enough to have 3 copies the 2x DD option is still a slight improvement on Rowanne. ---

I spent way too much on a second copy of Ironhawk so I could try one of these teams. The following team with any Fast/Mana Source hero is just as fast as Rowanne/Maraji Queen/Leprechaun on Explore 2. [1239,6991,6991,6638,3052,1,1,1,1,2,1,0,14017] Garland Staff Ironhawk Ironhawk Leprechaun If nothing else, it’s a nice change of pace.
