I choose blue as my worst. ---

Sometimes it’s hard to tell but I think @Jainus was making a funny. 😉 ---

I’ve had the most difficulty with red and blue. ---

Blue is my best GW team. Red has been the weakest. Lack of options for stun and summoners. ---

Purple, easily. Guild got hammered _hard_ in that color this week. Was the only color I struggled to make a team with as well. Red is a close second, though the first week we had boosted Crimson Bats so I didn’t have an issue - and that team wasn’t too bad this week either. Green and Blue aren’t quite as bad, while Yellow and Brown are easily managed given the existence of Gorgotha. ---

> [@Shimrra](#): > > Yellow and Brown are easily managed given the existence of Gorgotha. I agree Gorgotha is a main asset for these colours, though i found Carnex to be almost as resilient on red and purple day, unless you are faced with strong true damage. ---

Hogans and Unrepentant still did better on points than anyone in bracket 1, other than anonymous. So I can’t feel too bad about our performance. Granted, it’s harder to get points in bracket 1, but Unrepentant beat the lowest in bracket 1 by 211K. I hope we both move into bracket one. Perhaps we could even have a rivalry there. None Of The Above Unrepentant ---

Red because: - “no cleanse to all” troop, - no good summoner, - no good drainer. ---

Yes well done to you guys, as well; it was a fun week. Sniping you guys wasn’t our strategy, we just had a couple members who weren’t able to play this week and it happened to work out that way. Looking forward to fighting you guys again in Tier 1. Since you came in top 3 in the entire GW, I’d imagine you’d get moved up, too. 🙂 ---

Yes, I definitely enjoyed this week in bracket 2 and Hogans is part of the reason for that. You’re the only team that beat us on the daily wars. We won the other 5 by 30k margins. I’m guessing your results look similar. 🙂 ---

Yeah our final tallies for the week were about that each War, though I think some of our opponents in Tier 2 were tougher than the final scores indicate. They (and you guys) definitely made us work for it this week. 😃 ---

Red lacks: Cleanse All A good, reliable stun A _good_ summoner. A fast mana drainer that also does damage or board control. Color diversity for some of the better troops. A lot of the ones that can potentially support other troops share _both_ colors, making them not viable to use in a guild wars team because it would cripple your mana flow. Its just terrible at dealing with the gimmicks that come along with your average guild wars battle. I may revise this next week now that I know barrier can block a deathmark activation, and Jotnar is red, and red has a couple decent looping options. Purple is probably right behind it, lacking many non-random board control options with most of them sharing both colors (yellow/purple), having the _worst_ stun options (rock troll with knockout, Dracos with a spell that has a chance to instantly kill _and trigger death curse anyways_ in addition to using the colors you probably want for board control), but it is easier to build a mostly impervious/warded team that is still just barely good enough to beat the stuff _accompanying_ the death knight when death curse eats most your team than with red. I’d put blue and green as the easiest, then yellow and brown. Blue/green has some of the best utility troops in the game, yellow has some of the best converters, and brown has a lot of decent power options plus Khorvash for stun. ---

I’m really surprised at the number of mentions of purple. Purple is one of the easier (if not the easiest) days for me. Red is definitely the hardest for me, followed by blue. For all of the talk about the power of blue in this game, it has become painfully obvious that the strongest blue troops don’t work all that well without somebody to fill them. 😃 ---

Yeah i don’t think this poll will arrive at any other conclusion than _different people have problems with different mono colours_. 😉 Purple is really easy to avoid ending with less than 4 troops alive. It has amazing exploders, great manadrain options, Kerberos who essentially makes your team indestructible, transformers and some fantastic base mythics to boot. Red i also feel really secure on and Sir Gwayne just became an incredible great extra option. > [@htismaqe](#): > > For all of the talk about the power of blue in this game, it has become painfully obvious that the strongest blue troops don’t work all that well without somebody to fill them. 😃 Which is why my blue team runs on green mana 😉 ---
