Ah, sorry, yes I did change the thread title to attract attention to the vote - I did mean to mention it in a reply here but sorry I forgot. So… let’s cancel the poll - I apologise, we did veer off-topic a bit, but I was hung up on your statement that it would counter the meta… The poll closed at 83% against the suggested Maw team - which I suspect is pretty indicative though it was only 6 votes… I will edit out the poll and change back the title… …and let’s see some more interesting Empowered teams… but @killerman3333 let’s also stop the posturing that this might be a perfect counter to the current Maw/Mercy meta enemies. So… moving back to Empowered, how about: Faunessa Ragnagord Soothsayer Mercy …which has good colour spread, and Ragnagord has Fast so is half-Empowered 🙂 EDIT: I can’t delete the poll as it’s been there more than 5 minutes and the system doesn’t permit me to remove it; I have closed it. @JasonAshcroft you’re right, sorry. ---

If you check the edit, @Jainus made the edit to my title to give his poll more views. He was also the first one to mention maw/mercy teams. Even after i mentioned it was an anti-skull team and posted a team that was easy to build that could counter maw’s spell and trait instead of apologizing he decided not to let up and continue the thread as a maw/mercy thread. This means he purposefully ignore how easy the teams are to build. Then when i gave how each card does to effect the team he stepped back finally but the work was done. I posted teams that are easy to build and he thinks that those teams are hard counters that are god-counters. ---

I’ve been open about what I did, and why. I have apologised for taking it so far off topic. > [@killerman3333](#): > > i noticed troops that are perfect counters to what is commonly played > [@killerman3333](#): > > it is easy to make empowered teams that uses all 6 colors that counter the current meta I do not apologise for disagreeing with this in the _opening post_. The high end meta is all about Maw/Mercy right now and your suggestions _do not_ present any effective counters, in my view. A view supported so far. I am sorry for hijacking the thread a bit. I am not sorry for presenting counter-arguments to the grandiose side of the OP which I think is just wrong. Back on topic, how about that team: I switched the order a bit: [Custom Team - Teams - Gems of War Database](http://ashtender.com/gems/teams/6105,6139,6154,6167) ---

Why not lamia? Her charm deals damage to one or two targets even though the charm target is random. ---

I don’t like the random aim… Lamia looked good briefly when the 1.08 game had stupidly high attack scores… but since stats have been realigned, feels to me like a waste of a turn… I like how Faunessa deals damage and gains Life, and should have good synergy with Mercy… ---

Good point. I do recognize that her charm can fail if there is space between troops. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/best-empowered-troop-team-ideas/7972.md?page=1)
