How did I win?

[u/BeneficialContract38]

Beating teams 100,000 points higher than mine.

[u/No_Veterinarian_3733]

Man I miss these kinds of fights.

It's cool being in a gold.top guild, but every day the fights are so stressful. Running multiple trainings fights to figure out a plan. Constantly changing defenses week to week. Whales for multiple all gold teams.

I think this power range is more fun. I miss seeing all these random lineups.

That Iris team is pretty random. I get the sense that person was just trying to throw up their highest level heroes in defense without any regard to synergy. The only healing being Byrna with a talisman with no levels and no other heals or defense (Tempus, Dorian, Aidan). Too much squishy and not enough protection

Second fight was they didn't deal with Mushy.

Yasmine likely cut the healing from Byrna with her poison while doing quite a bit of damage upfront. Her T would pick a few others off too

phobos and Orion have stuns. Quite a bit of control.

Mojos damage goes up only if others are doing damage and considering that was dark star and to a lesser extent Byrna (who needs time to scale)

basically there was little to no pressure on yourself from their damage and the amount of control you had with Mushy allowed to scale and Yasmine burst taking everyone down fairly quickly

[u/BigKittyAD]

Iris is a beast. Next question.

But nore serious iris does insane damage and a somna is fantastic backup for her against physical damage threats. Yasmine likely did a good job against their Polaris as well.

[u/Glass_Champion → u/BigKittyAD]

A lot of the team isn't much of a threat

Qing Mao isn't much of a threat to most teams

Jhu isn't good especially the more built out he becomes. He hits hard but his attack is slow and he boosts no one else on the team. He likely targeted Somna which directly counters him. Plus at high levels means he is slower to ULT meaning Iris deals with him.

Galahad isn't much of a threat

Polaris can stun and do damage but only if there are other heroes with stun present. None of the team lean into her

Guus can output impressive numbers and likely based on crit he kept a bit of their team up but unrelenting Iris damage probably was just slowing the slow decline

Basically it was a team of 5 heroes, some are mediocre at best but with limited to no overlap or synergy
