RTA strategy question

[worldly wing]

Newbie here. Runes are not that great. My fastest swift set is on Craig which I use as lead which is around +160. My rating is 1200 atm.

I usually first pick craig then ragdoll and see what enemy picks. If I think I can outspeed, I’ll follow up with wind/dark robo, maximilian, and moore.

If not, I go veromos, woosa/riley, and last pick between shun/leo. And all of these are built much tankier. My goal with 5th pick is to either draw a ban on it away from ragdoll or be strong enough to take someone out in a turn.

My question is in regards to my second setup. How would you improve picks/roster?
I have limited amount of devilmons so would like to pick ones that are not too niche. Some options I was thinking of was Juno for Veromos spot, Sagar for 5th pick, and possibly vanessa/camille combo?

Sorry for kind of rambling and thanks for reading.

i think u can easily get away with moore dark robo craig maximilian core

slam in rag and go bruiser like rag leo riley verd into someone pick control against u

[fervent onyx]

for this core, 5th pick usually either a force ban, or something that can help your team have an easier time

like a charlotte, a sonia, a tiana so u have a lot of strippers

but keep in mind that u have low dmg output with the team if they go ultra tank comp

so it's more of trial and error for now

go do more matches, post some drafts and ask specific questions

will help u he most

thanks! appreciate it

First pic: shizu/maxi banned. Could not break through totem/oracle.

Second same guy. Vero/shizu banned. Same problem.

Third. Riley/robo banned. I messed up applying shuns shadow to Moore. Should have used on CP or Lich?

[fervent onyx]

if you want to fp craig, i remember a guy did it with Craig Rag Bolv +2

which instantly delete one unit with 5 stacks bolv

if you do maxi, i dont think u should pick rag unless they going moore fp

you need more kind of control coz moore + robo isnt enough against bruiser like pic 1/2

feel like u want to pick your ld5s as much as possible, but that's not gonna help u much. for maxi, consider doing Moore CP dark robo maxi +1

for shun, u pick it into bruiser, not control comp

for rag, pick it when people pick Leo into u

or slam down rag leo when they go with additional dmg comp with chip dmg

[worldly wing]

Ahh I see. I FP craig bc in my mind he seemed flexible enough in the teams I could build currently. It makes sense in above matches, ragdoll was deadweight when I needed someone with more control. Thanks

[worldly wing]

So it feels like moore/CP -> maxi/craig -> d. robo is very solid even with my bad runes. However, if someone takes CP first, I'm not sure what I can bring. Can Sagar fill that role? Triton maybe?

Bump

[fervent onyx]

sorry was in the hospital last week but im back, gimme some times to read stuffs

[worldly wing]

damn hope youre alright

[fervent onyx]

nah im fine, just my 1yo son with his fever

[fervent onyx]

i think Ragdoll is kinda downbad this season tho, but still good pick if you go ragleo, or want to disrupt their turn

not early pick material imo

just do usual stuffs and slam rag when u can

force him in 2nd pick is kinda weird if you dont have anything synergize well with him

[fervent onyx]

if someone take CP u can Sonia it ngl

[worldly wing]

Ive been picking ragdoll in 5th in times when I wasn't confident on speed fight. Worked pretty well with bans on booster/spd lead

[fervent onyx]

how is it so far

[worldly wing]

Should I just drop craig and use eshir

[fervent onyx]

they serve different purpose, craig is nice when u know they're slow, eshir is mainly for speed contest

[worldly wing]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZropIlUPIw I was watching this to emulate basically. Seems like core comp are same

[fervent onyx]

i havent watched any of his educational videos

but yea u can copy his strat and also improve it by yourself

[worldly wing]

Is shun slept on? As long as I can keep him alive, he puts in work

[fervent onyx]

shun is light?

[cobalt rain]

Shun is op

[worldly wing]

Got to 1300 with craig/moore maxi drobo shun

Most people ban maxi

[fervent onyx]

yea maxi is insane follow up

[worldly wing]

Can you help me build a rag leo comp?

Woulda been cool if my celia was vivachel instead

[worldly wing]

Rag/Leo/Verde core + situational/counter?

[fervent onyx]

lmao ye

uhhh

rag leo is simple

just brute force them in with a support healer

then counter picks

most of the time u go Molong

and veromos
