It’s generally considered to be, especially if you plan to run a bombot team, as it allows the bombots to fill in only one match (with a +2 brown banner) allowing for some very quick battles.
Yup can’t be faster then
Deep borer
Boombot
Boombot
Black manacles
Mec clasd and brun+2
Except now it can be faster. Terrorist princess sets the bombs up 1st turn 95% of the time, and usually gets an extra turn out of the deal.
Deep Borer
Bombot
Steam Turret
Black Manacles (mechanist hero)
Blackhawk (blue/brown) banner
…is faster, for me at least. Better type and kingdom bonuses > more armour on Bombot > more insta kills. Only legendaries and LifeDrain troops survive, and Steam Turret is better than a second Bombot for mopping those up.
You should try Hero with Imperial Jewel, it’s a nice weapon with the explosion from Bombot ;-).
I think I just commented in another thread that it’s a rubbish weapon…? Black Manacles or even Skullblade would be better choices, for me…
In this context, this weapon is nice because:
- you need 10 mana to fill your Hero so with Bombot’s explosion, you should have it or close to.
- it fill with any mana so if 1) is not enough, any 3-match should finish to fill your Hero
- its damage is generally enough to finish the remaining troops (split damage).
But I’m not against your recommendation to boost this weapon .
And I remind that Bombot block Brown mana during his death…
My bombot hit 39 this is why i prefer have 2 bombot then a turret
Great job!
Through testing I found that Ship’s Cannon out-performs Traited Mechchanist Hero, simply because there are often situations where a Bombot cast AND Black Manacles cast will fail to get the job done.
Some of these are when a Mythic or Boosted Event Troop is present and has too much health, or an On-Death Summon triggers. In those scenarios the Ship’s Cannon swap-in brings efficiency boosts. by reducing the number of rounds necessary to complete the full-kill.
edit: I should say that what works for me might not for all due to kingdom bonuses, level, difficulty, etc, etc.
This is why 2 boombot and black manacles do the job but you need to be quick of course if someone hit any of your boombot you will lost your strengh unless this is a true damage hit
Edit: also this team is good only against certain type of troop, i don’t recommand using it against mana drain or troop that resurrect or summon another troop when they die. This is a risky team but when you know when to pick it, it really can help
to grind in pvp
I agree. I just tried the Elspeth team and it often has left overs that take time to clean up. I actually like even better:
Deep Borer
BombBot
Steam Turret
Imperial Jewel ***
Hardly live ever have trouble with long clean ups and goes the fastest of all I have tried.
Necro thread…
Try:
Elspeth
Rowanne
Penguin
Aurai
+2 green banner
I have Rowanne on top so I can choose to take out Penguin instead of Auri if there is a lot of blue on the board. No clean up required.
Also works though when I tried that I got annoyed as now and then Rowanne could get hit - losing some armour - and also getting frozen or deathmarked by enemy traits…
I found it doesn’t matter if he gets hit - he still has plently left to wipe everything ( Cant remember ever being frozen or death marked in explore using this !)
Probably. But the one in a thousand time I lost her to a death mark lingers in memory…
He is probably a she?
Transgender ?
Trees (which Rowanne certainly seems to be) typically produce their own sperm and ova. Make of that what you will.
