So, I just ran it against FT/Nyx/DB/Mab and it worked nicely. I have to say that I rather enjoyed Nyx not being able to drain 75% of the team. Every time she missed it made me giggle with joy.
It was nice to have Liang around to counter FT while feeding Diviner which in turn feeds DB.
Well done @Fvffar I’ll definitely use it again against FT/Nyx teams for a change up.
Like the team a lot! For a little extra protection (and 0% chance of Nyx drain), you can put The Silvermaiden in front, moving Yao Guai back one spot and dropping the hero out.
This is a very original one, @esslee , and a good one that I’m going to try.
Letting nyx screaming and draining nothing is a hell of a satisfaction, these days.
Also, your explanation helps to understand that, when countering nyx, we have to care NOT to fill some troops (like the myzmer) or to download them as soon as possible (like Dawnbringer).
I wouldn’t have thought to use the Silvermaiden in one hundred years, if you hadn’t mentioned it. Thanks @XLS78 !
It’s a really safe team for a picnic with nyx.
Lots of teams can best the Nyx meta. Almost anything from ShenTang with defense against Mana drain is a good start but I also just over power them with my standard PvP team as well.
I’ve been using different methods to counter the dreaded Nyx teams that are so popular. Mainly, troops capable of one shotting her ie Ketras or Lady Ironbeard. Or my other option is total board control with a looping style team. At the moment I’m killing just about everything with Mercy / Alchemist / Hellcat / Worldbreaker - dragon banner. An old popular build but it works 97-98% of the time. Sometimes can even pull the win out if Nyx does get to fire and starts their dreaded roll of cascades.
Worldbreaker is a troop that gives some sort of satisfaction indeed. His weak point is mana burn, I think, but troops that deal damage, explode gems and get chances of extra turns are fantastic.
In my opinion the team you mentioned is flawless.
I guess nyx likes targeting hero’s downbringer because of the high mana cost. If you set hero to Orbweaver class, the whole team will be immune to mana drain.
after more than 200 fights against troll nyx kraken/db/fox mab i can say, this team is unbeaten. some fights are hard because cascades and db spam but over 80% are easy and quick.
also good against psion ragna famine and something
