No callouts but I must say I keep running across some of the strangest teams I have run across in PvP recently.
There is the 1 Zombie team (1 Mythic Zombie - fully traited)
A lot of 1 card teams only.
And then there was Kerberos - all by himself… I was a fool to think I could beat that.

Probably an all Sacrifice team. They killed themselves pretty quick. Gotta say it was fun to watch.

I think I have seen one of those…

Strangest? I see a lot of stranger teams on my lower level account. A lot of them just look like they mashed together whatever the highest rarity troops they happened to have at the time and hope for the best.
In high level PvP, a lot of people have their low score or throw the match teams set, which accounts for most of the “strangeness” - single shrooms, villagers, bombots, etc, some of which might even have a chance of winning 1v4 against lower level opponents due to matchmaking. I’ve also seen some creative teams that can occasionally be nasty if you underestimate them, too, but I think it would ruin the novelty of facing them if I shared them here.
However, sometimes, it just looks like they are trying to have a strong defense, but just don’t quite have all the pieces for the “meta” team and decide to make a little substitution. One that gave me a chuckle was Manticore, Manticore, Deep Borer… Keeper of Souls. So close, and yet so very far.

I see this quite a lot too, even from high level players. Bombot teams without third mechanist trait. Justice teams without third mab trait. Maw/IK/mercy/sheggra teams without an empowered mercy. It’s usually some form of tacet team with a crucial link missing!
And there’s always the classic ‘the game has accidentally switched my actual defence team with my farm team’ which is the explanation for _most_ uses of KoS and **ALL** uses of Aziris!

Rock Worms without Deep Borer
Goblins without the base common Goblin
3x Mythic/traited Ysabelles with a Pride Guard. That was pretty funny.
Fourgotha. Which is a thing I’d like to try some day.
MantiFour. Which has a low winrate but is annoying as hell

Fourgotha and Mantifour, now those are funny! =) I’ve seen lots of posts about how some people make defense teams just to slow and and annoy the crap out of the attacker. I can sure see evidence of that here!

I love that. I saw for Ysabelles today and just don’t quite know whether to laugh or take them on. 🙂
Mantifour!!!

Or just keep the trait(s) stunned. EK is pretty good at that.

1 Knight Coronet (a standard Ultra-Rare troop but fully traited).

I changed my defend team to Mantifour last night just for grins. The funny part is I’m about winning about 40% of the attacks lol.

I just saw a 4 Abhorath team. It didn’t work very well, but it was still kind of neat.

This was probably my longest PvP fight ever because I kept letting the Mimics cast just to see what would happen. I did end up beating the easily even with them having double the health of my troops.

Tonight’s actually really powerful team - 4 mythic fully traited Archon Statues…
I would give up one of those Archons and replace it for a The Devoted or Paladin and just create a lot more armor — they can take a beating and keep on ticking.

Earlier I fought a 4 x druid team (unfortunately for them I got famine charged before they could fire), but this next one is really odd:
Manticore, blade dancer, deep borer, bone dragon with yellow/green banner
Including blade dancer and using that banner shows that this person has completely misunderstood what is so hard about fighting the current meta! I mean blade dancer is practically doing you a favour 😂

BLADE DANCER?
Oh my god. I feel so sorry for that person. Any wins they have on defense must be pity-surrenders

I’ve found Borer, 3 x Famine to be really annoying

I came across a solitary spider knight, ultra rare, no traits can’t remember the level. I had a Bunni in top slot with 5 x skull damage and the game started with skulls kindly lined up for me to match. One turn, game won!
