g1-3 rush arena defence

[limber sierra]

Hi all, will tryhard rush hour every week from now on to get some new records now. I feel like AD is my main weakness. What would you use for a tank or swift stripping AD? I attached my relevant nat 5s and LDs, I think have most relevant non-lds except Savannah for AD.

Mainly looking for things people avoid to hit.

[graceful bough]

isn't halphas triton great?

[valid blade]

Halphas triton nessa molly

Uncleavable

[limber sierra]

Hmm I feel like people christina that

Could be good enough tho

[keen copper]

christina is over represented on this discord, solely because hippo has a huge mouth

it's also not even good into that because triton can mess up your turn order

[limber sierra]

That is true, it can stall by messing turn order

[keen copper]

i think halphas and abellio are must haves

[limber sierra]

halphas abellio triton +1? can use halphas lead or a 33 +1

[keen copper]

then add a stripper. triton is the obvious one but honestly even a single target stripper like rakan could be enough

or even the "f2p" option of clara can be good since she has a def break

spd lead + fast stripper is already enough to scare away tiana. you don't need ultra fast stripper like triton to do so

meanwhile halphas abellio will deter lushen enough

[graceful bough]

nora would be great right?

[keen copper]

yes nora is amazing if you have her

[limber sierra]

ah I'm also missing nora besides savannah

[keen copper]

and then lastly i like molly on AD a lot but if you use her then you really have no damage and more people will be tempted to just bruiser you

so if you do use a stripper that is a bruiser and can add dmg, maybe molly is fine for last slot

otherwise you do need to add a bruiser, something with def break preferably

[limber sierra]

xing zhe maybe?

[keen copper]

nana can be a great bruiser too

[limber sierra]

but I don't have real damage with that def break

[keen copper]

i think it would be fun to try swift rakan as your stripper, like halphas abellio rakan (on swift) + nana

[limber sierra]

hmm let's see

[keen copper]

otherwise you can just do triton over rakan

you can build nana on dmg

[limber sierra]

I like the rakan idea

Could even do this, no def break but does stall if someone bruisers it

clara instead of triton would add def break and more value vs bruisers but then people leah it

and many people in guardian have leah

[keen copper]

That’s fine too

[limber sierra]

commons AOs I think are:

• leah
• lushen
• tiana
• christina/bael/whatever with leo
• lucifer

This should deter those 5 enough, will go with this I think, thanks all

[valid blade]

Rakan here can give you a lot of wins

Since hes unexpected

[limber sierra]

I love the unit ever since his buff

my siege def with him goes pretty well too

[valid blade]

I mean, i would hit that thinking that rakan is just for the trolls
