Hello,

As I make a team as below;

First slot: Serpent  
Second slot: Infernal King  
Third slot: Alchemist  
Fourth slot: Valkyrie

I don’t have Mercy, Great Maw, Sheggra and Moloch.

I have only 2 legendary. First Infernal King and second Celestasia.

In that case, do you have 2 Infernal Kings?  
Try

Infernal King  
Infernal King  
Alchemist  
Green Slime

Err, scratch that.  
Green Slime is counter-intutive with Infernal King.  
Try:

Infernal King  
Infernal King  
Alchemist  
Giant Spider

Well, the 1st three cover all the mana colors in the game already, so you’re free to choose anything you like as the 4th. I would suggest another Purple/Yellow creature until you get your second Infernal King. This way you can pick up the excess mana when Infernal King is full.

@Liverah did you try that?

> im not sure of the first unit so for now considering something of those golem / northrender / rock worm / ship cannon / or a hero with single-brown colored weapon sylvasi infernal king snow sprite +abyssmal banner +2purple +1 red -1yellow (unlocked when you unlock blighted lands kingdom) in this setup nothing has to be traited but if u want the top unit to last longer the golem is really easy to trait his stoneskin 50% skull reduction tactic would be: try fill mana of sylvasi or infern…

i know giant spider valkyrie and alchemist are standard transmuters but i remmember early game i never got all the mana back using them as was lacking mana surges…

well its not a big deal if u want a classic team, i just wanna hear what u think of it at all

@Annaerith I don’t have only Sylvasi. Other troops have therefore I have not tried yet.

Do you have any tanky troops with their traits? Treant?

</div>

I am unsure about the top troop, here’s my input:

First slot: Undecided. Blue and green or at least blue would be good. Treant works great if traited. Serpent would also work. Also, both of those can give extra turns with their spell.  
Second: Infernal King  
Third: Alchemist  
Last: Valk

Progress or Dragon banner. Dragon is better if you use Serpent.

</div>

i would never trait treant, reason: i keep arcane swamp for mercy then for legendaries/mythics 😛

super early game i think only golem is possible to trait

later worth investment is knight coronet, maybe archon statue

until you get emperor khorvash or gorgotha

reason i never recommend using treant with infernal king is if he removes brown u arent gonna get extra turn with infernal king so easily then the skulls can turn against you.

But, you don’t have to cast the spell much. Just let it tank with stoneskin and catch blue/green. You can occasionally cast without losing your turn. Serpent is as easily traited as Golem, has agile, gains life, and makes red.

i agree about serpent

but mana going to treant only creates a problem, cast it or not cast it? could go to something more useful instead

Agree 100%. But, with limited options, sometimes you have to take something that works, not something optimal! While Treant removes brown, it also buffs it’s attack and armor and has stoneskin. You can still get extra turns with IK, just play smart. That team has insane board control.

To each their own, it was one of my first fully traited troops (but, Mercy is my most used troop).

Just go with the serpent, probably more exciting anyway. 🙂

I agree with saving traitstones for mercy as mercy is an incredibly useful addition to many teams even late game

Mercy is the most powerful troop of them all for invades, until they add another similar troop with empowered. The amount of time she saves is awesome.
