My current favorite combination is EK and Bat on the same team. Unless the defense gets really, really lucky, e erything goes down in a hurry. Btw, @Velkyn, I like your analysis a lot. ---

On Console I’ve been using; Emperor Khorvash Shadow-Hunter Valkyrie Rowanne Been outperforming anything with Queen Mab or Mercy in it. ---

my go to team right now is Soothsayer Emp Valk Bat Sooth absorbs any and all unwelcomed tick damage and early I just use him to fill and boost team. When bat does 20+ damage, I start unleash him. I keep khorvash in waiting until either of first two spots fill and hammer them draining to keep them on lock down. Valk keeps souls coming in and makes sure Emp and/or Bat are always where they need to be. It works. Takes me to 1 each week with little effort… but in this build, Bat is the main source of the damage, Khor just plays control and clean up. Bat is doing all the heavy lifting for sure. ---

My team is EK Valk EK Amira Amira snipes out death or enemy EK in a single hit which is wonderful 🙂 (For those wondering why amira) On the before topic mana shield could prevent mana drain, while impervious shouldn’t be preventing mana drain or devour. ---

uhh khorvash meta still too strong… i just caught myself **3rd** time today that when **seeing that coronet gets full mana** i am thinking ‘ **uhh it gonna drain my mana again** 😞’ the relief when it hits and the mana stays… 😂 ---

I have a beef team for fighting Khorvash. Works pretty good because of high life (to absorb true damage) and multiple AOE troops. He’s mostly just annoying at this point - he’s the new Manticore. ---

> [@TaliaParks](#): > > Emperor Khorvash > Shadow-Hunter > Valkyrie > Rowanne I will try that team out but Emperor Khorvash Valkyrie Crimson Bat Mercy has been VERY good to me, I would actually be surprised if this team beats it out in speed/efficiency, but definitely plan to give it a shot. ---

@Dustin1280 I use that team if Rowanne can’t get hit, otherwise I swap SH for Queen Mab and/or Rowanne for Mercy depending on the opponent lineup ---

Shame Bats traits are gick. Team works splendid without them though ---

Bloodsucking is good, but nobody puts Bat in front of Valkyrie. ---

Yeah, mana blocking Valk isn’t sensible. ---

> [@Robert](#): > > Thats why I said its gick. Also, its skull damage. That’s why Bloodsucking exists, for teams with 2 Bats. You can block Valkyrie’s Reds if you can make up for it on the Yellows. Soothsayer Crimson Bat Valkyrie Crimson Bat Holy Banner This is still a highly effective and quick team. ---

I wouldn’t be concentrating on skull damage in a double bat team. Bloodsucking wouldnt serve any purpose for me there. Id rather khorvash and untraited bats. ---

> [@Robert](#): > > I wouldn’t be concentrating on skull damage in a double bat team. Nobody does, but the Skulls drop with the Blue spam. Also 2 Bats and EK together is a lot of Blue to fill, you rarely get all 3 charged at the same time. Overall, both teams work about equally as well, so it’s a matter of personal preference and/or your opponent ---

when i go bat - i go bat valk bat mercy but thats only since my bat gets 18-20(mercy bless) dmg at the beginning of game, earlier sooth was indeed better ---

I wouldnt use the three of them. But if it was a choice of soothsayer + 2 bats (and it depending upon soothsayer dieing) or khorv + 2 untraited bats I would pick the latter. ---

i find EK +bat more safe but also slightly slower in comparison to: bat + bat while the: EK + EK i find even more slow the choice between sooth and mercy depends on the personal preference and stats i suppose ---

Yep, for blazing through PVP, I’ve settled on EK / Valk / Bat / Mercy. EK / EK and Bat / Bat work but not as good as the two of them together, at least not for me.
