You deliver a jab, expect a counter.
Matter dropped, but points still stand.

Actually, I noticed that the more points your team scores (power value) the better opponents you find (more points and gold), so, when I play, I set a defense to some rubbish cards I could upgrade to mythic / 3 traits.
When I’m not playing ( = outside of Mondays), I either set it to Maw or to something so weak I won’t be worth invading for end game players…

Here’s mine…
All are level 1 with no traits.

I wish i could try that, but all my troops are mythic (Except for Wraith). I am averaging 8000 pts. Still too lucrative of an opponent.
Don’t you have anything unleveled or untraited though?
My troops are also mostly mythic, but it looks like troop level and traits affect team score more than rarity. I was able to get a team score of 4k by using (mythic) unleveled troops.
How about putting only one troop?
I have a few troops.
I could very well do that.
I just tried putting up a weak defense, but it doesn’t seem to give me any weaker opponents. Are you sure it actually works like that?
I’m a lower level mind you, but I noticed when I accidentally had an unleveled test team set to defense, that my invade choices suddenly dropped in team power dramatically. When I put my usual defense back in, the invade power levels went back up after a refresh. This happened last week though. I don’t know if that is still the case.

7043 is the lowest i can go. <==Doesn’t this count as an exploit? Anyway, I changed my defense team. No Queen Mab(terrible on defense anyway), no Maw, and no Mercy. Be the change…usher in creativity.
Also, my team is 8493 so there is no exploitation on my part.

Ah… teams don’t save well across devices… so I changed my defence team on PC version earlier… then logged in from iPad, and it changed back to Maw x2 and Mercy without my doing… hmmmmmm…

Happens all the time when i check my phone for tributes. 3 goblin teams and 2 stoneskin teams. I think the devs are making some tweaks to the system.

At some point it did, I know that from the moment I changed my Maw defense (counting 3 missing traits, 4 legendaries lvl 19) to that other weird defense (all traits, all mythic lvl 20), I got from 26-30 points per hardest battle to 30-45 per hardest battle.
But maybe it doesn’t work the other way around as there should be some “base” value of what are you worth.
Anyway, the weaker team is meant not to be invaded by end game players.
EDIT : oh, and you need to complete a battle with it first, to refresh your opponents accordingly of course.

I think the OP has a good suggestion. I don’t have Maw so I’m in no danger of using it on defense, but I’m going to make a point of switching up my defense teams.
I’m sure that people actively competing for rank will have a different perspective, but I’m never going to be in the top 100, so once I get my Tier rewards, why not play around a bit? I have absolutely nothing to lose at that point.

You’re exactly right. I have embraced it. My only request is for that blinking to stop indicating that the AI lost. Getting really annoying.

I may try another novel defense when I get home this afternoon. Got frustrated from too many losses in a row the last time, but I haven’t been able to keep up a top 100 pace again this week anyway so why not. Maybe a daemon hunter team with Valor. Hmmm…

This is the defense I am currently running with.
To be honest, it’s having a pretty decent win/lose ratio.

Nice… Until people realise how quickly Rowanne will shred any true damage team…
…but oops, sorry, shouldn’t complain about variety!? And you made their game more fun letting them exploit a different strategy…
sorry bros, i like my high defensive win rate 
Lol i bet you do!
