> [@Ivar](#): > > The Anointed One brothers: Anointed One and Anointed One (2). Why is this a good pairing? is it because the first Anointed goes and fills the second Anointed? Wouldn’t it be better to replace #2 with a different red-based damage dealer that isn’t dependant on skulls? ---

It depends of your taste or strategy, but two Anointed Ones can get pretty decent numbers while denying green for the enemy, and since it gains life instead of armor it does survive better true damage. For some cases i do prefer two of the same troop. Like two Dryads (with any blue generator/transformer (yes Valkyrie)) keeping everyone safe and with a “full belly”. 😃 ---

The Great Maw and Mercy come to mind. And Infernal King and Sheggra… And if you put those 2 pairs together you’ve got a PVP team that can kill just about any opponent in under 2 minutes… ---

The Great Maw and whoever he eats, best pair in the game! ---

Knight Coronet + Shadow Dragon were presumably designed to work together, and can drop a pretty significant amount of damage in one turn if you chain them right. Then they run out of steam because you’ve wiped out all the yellow and purple on the board, so certainly not the best pair in the game. Templar + Rowanne has some staying power, and can build up to wiping out the enemy team in one strike. Similar to Paladin teams, but synergizes better with different troops. ---

I love my Venoxia / Dryad / Sheggra combo… Covers all Colors - gives heal and shield, venoxia stacks attack very fast - sheggra gives extra skulls^^ Last spot is free to use for example Orion, Crimson Bat or whatever u prefer! running this team as main pvp since weeks 😉 ---

How has no one mentioned Jarl Firemantle + Eternal Flame these two alone can get enough turns to wipe a team 75% of the time. ---
