Please, no more troops with random effects, I beg you. Their unpredictability renders them totally useless from a strategic standpoint, and a real pain being forced to play with them; even more so in a bounty run, where every single troop counts.

Yup. Thank goodness I have a three-troop core bounty team. This way I can slot in any other troop as the bounty captain, never cast it, and do just as well.

Troops with random effects are made for funny defense teams.

I’ve cast this guy 20 or so times, he’s only tried to summon lol. The secret is that summon is weighted at 75%.

Do people not share their all-bounty-hunter teams? 😜

Did some forum searching. Based on discoveries, I tried some characters that work well. Of course, I also spent gems in the bounty shop to fully ascend the new bounty captain, and all of those potions help a little.

I always use these three troops - gold medalled - 3 Nysha, T5 shop

Crysturtle  
Corpse Mare  
Tigraki Warrior  
Captain - T5, blue orb, gold medal it - off you go.

Close your eyes, wish it was 2 hours from now, and soon it will be all over… 🤣

My 3-troop core is Corpse Mare, Tigraki Warrior, Excavator. This week each troop at rank 20 died to a 1-2 combo of Corpse Mare + Tigraki Warrior, so things were blessedly quick.

Reminds me of that really annoying secret book boss in Final Fantasy IX.

Mine:

Ridgeback  
Tigraki Warrior  
Rift Lynx or Soldier of Wrath  
Bounty captain (sub Parrot if captain not ascended)

Love the new troop art! 😃 It’s a shame the troop is useless and I’ll never see it again after this weekend 😆

Interesting variations. Common themes. Mine is:  
Crysturtle  
Tigraki Warrior (w/ gold medal)  
Rift Lynx  
_bounty captain_

I suppose the efficacy will depend on the opponents each bounty weekend?

Thanks all for sharing.

Lately I’ve just been using 4 old troops for a x24 bonus, plus a 30gem investment for Enchanted. The new Tinkertown Banner fits it pretty good:

Corpse Mare, Tigraki, Half Mane and Rift Lynx.

I don’t have the time on weekends anymore to go full assault mode on bounty rewards. gl hf

Purchased up to Tier 4 and used 2 Blue Orbs for ascension to mythic. Based on previous bounty calculations, this should guarantee all rewards. I use two different team variations – skulls and true damage. Last bounty I used Crysturtle, Tigraki Warrior, Soldier of Wrath, and the awful Dread Steed. Using that same team…

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/f/0/f0ad802f1a0808a45f74d7b8147d7b6b7f8266e6.jpeg)

The skull team uses War Elephant, Man-at-Arms, Dire Cub, and then the bounty captain.

This team is max points and is maybe 20-30 seconds rank 20 battles. Highly effective, recommend 100%.

There is absolutely no way you are doing rank 20 fights in 20-30 seconds. I think you are grossly underestimating how much time each fight takes. Here’s a rank 20 fight with that team, 3x Nysha Medals, max Magic possible from Kingdoms, Delves, Campaign, Guild, and troops upgraded with Medals max. Took me four minutes for 3 fights – that’s 80 seconds per fight average.
