Just finished with my war. this is my observation 1. Heavy healers in defense - my only 1 loss was against a defense with 4 healers/revivers + 1 sniper. They removed their insanity quick and dragged the fight for so long and I died when my heroes' insanity reached hundred and they all killed each other. 2. Fawn & untold tales 1 costume - just like you said, immunity. 3. Softskin - I noticed Hathor's resist ailment didnt block the insanity but gargoyle with softskin on resist the insanity 4. Speed - I won 3 times going mono with average and fast speed heroes winning the fight even before the insanity kicks in. 5. Dont bring hit all slow speed heroes, my loss also because of that. Insanity kicks in and killed my own team. Fast sniper preferable as even your heroes goes insane, he/she will only hit 1 of your own. 6. Use the like of sniper healer hero like Voidstar or Sha Wujing. if goes insane only hit 1 of your own. If it goes well, hitting an opponent + reduce insanity.
I didn't do bad in this war type as I was fourth in a new alliance and it was the first one we've had after merging two alliances into one. What a test it was. I always took two healers, preferably fast or average at the very least. I also did take some snipers and it's worked well. You could take two snipers with very high damage, build up their specials and focus on one hero at a time. The opponents' defenses usually started to defeat themselves in the end. What about the counter attack? I didn't have such situation but what if you would have it as a buff on your team and would then hit yourself with a damage inflicting special? Do you get the damage from special and then counter as well? Seems like taking counter heroes can be veeery risky, especially if you would have attack-all heavy hitters as well. Could anyone confirm that it works this way?
Grimsteel, Astrid and Humbert, lodius and lemonwood! Three hitters and three healers. Cupido also works. The opposing team lowers your insanity for you and you don't have to worry about your specials backfiring with the mindless heal from Cupido ( just something I've noticed so far)
@GeneralJdontspend any heal lowers insanity by 10%. Be it a 48 or 50% heal or a 25% heal so any heal lowers insanity by 10%. Milena at fast lowers insanity by 10%. Humbert's hit/ heal also lowers insanity by 10%
I love the tunes they're hard hit actually reflected back on Themselves with the insanity toon Evelyn to azlar to khagen they killed themselves in my War LOL
Only direct healing works, minion in heal don't work. Monk resist or toon don't work either. Soft skin is a option if active.. soo good luck folks .. personaly running 2 healers on Defence and some slow heros.. to try to avoid it. Will be trial and error..😊
whats interesting in this war, if you kill the tank healer at very start of the fight, you can just try to ghost and wait for insanity to do its part :) it can be risky but sometimes you just cant get that last tile to charge before the def hero does and now maybe its a good thing :) also if using insanity heroes, dont put them in the corner, by the time they fire they can already have 40 insanity wich will fill them up close to 100 fast and than the whole fight can go downhill :)
@McNaultyYT my alliance mates are saying that every 2nd flag they basicly kill their own team. Their heroes reverse at 20 insanity while opponents fire normal at 70 🤣 btw we have some teams against us that have 3 or 4 wilderness heroes in them. I wonder how the f are we going to kill thoose 🤣 they get 0 insanity
I have fought Insanity Heroes before with 2 Insanity Heroes on 1 Enemy team. I believe I had 3 Healers(Grimsteel, Tsang, Toxicandra). As you have to have the insanity cleared ASAP. The Key is holding Heals till whenever insanity hits.
Whete is the costume exchange event ? Isn't it today . And how cheap of them the pick up summons Hel and black knight don't have costumes in their portal
So I started after Hel was available all ways wanted her . New i could do 50 pulls pray I don't get black knight and get Hel . Then I can spend 1000 gens to get her costume because they were too cheap to put black knight and Hel costume in the puck up summons . They need them there have low stats compared to the new heros
@@unholywarrior9007 Really, all SG/Zynga hands out to us are crumbs. They could afford to give us much more in the daily gifts, free summons, etc., but they just give us little bits at a time. It's sad when you've been a loyal customer over time, and their rewards are insignificant crap.
I knew you wouldn't let me down! I looked earlier to see if you had advice on insanity but found nothing and I told my hubby, I need McNaulty , where is he? And here you are! Thank you and hubby is relieved that he doesnt have to listen to me bitch about the war anymore lol. 😂 oh and who should i give the mats tobfirst, Armand Kolya or Smartongue?
I don't have anyone that resists Insanity. I've got Toxicandra, but with no costume her stats are pretty dated. My defense picks currently are: Roz (green super-elemental) - Belladonna (purple healer; bonus if fiended) - Satori (blue sumo wrestler) - Domiventus (red corrosive burn) - and then either Matilda (holy fiend caster) or Toxicandra (green fast healer).
It’s definitely going to be trial and error. I’m going to use at least 2 healers. Still debating on the others… I’ll be recording my hits so I can study up!
I'm lucky to have Costume Thalassa, Costume Media, Costume Gestalt and Peregrine which will all have innate resistance against Insanity. I will also bring Fungustine as the Main Healer which should work in my Defense Wars minus Fungustine. On attack, 100% I will bring Insanity Heroes, heal first if I can to remove the Insanity on my Team and to fire off right after the Insanity fire offs. Atwood and Dolores will be the most impactful Insanity Heroes IMO. Great video.
Problem with this war is a pure lottery. You can’t plane anything. I took a good (I thought so) team on def: Gestalt costume, Peregrine, Diao costume, Cleopatra Sobek - both costumes. Was dead by the FIRST opponent ☠️☠️☠️ as a attacker 20% insanity put on me activated each time I fired off. On the opponent the oposite. Nothing … 🤪A pure chaos …
@@medyk1976kris hahaha pure chaos is exactly right. Got lucky with my first 3 hits but I know it's coming.. every time I cast a special its with my eyes closed 🤣🤣🤣 it's pretty fun tbh 🍺 🍻
This war is silly! with 20 insanity my Bearnadette and then Von Rothbart attacked my team and game over. So random. I don't really see the point of this particular war.
Ouch!! That's not the kind of double whammy u want 😅😅😅 it is silly I agree, some might even say insane. Lol. I'm of a similar mind i don't think it works quite as well as the other 2 and it's definitely a pay 2 win format but it's still kinda fun to be silly every now and then.
@@sassykitty8539 that could work but it's kinda the wrong way round. Cause ur stopping the enemy from inflicting the insanity on themselves. This is all so bonkers I am loosing my mind 🤪🤪🤪😜
Well my view is that this version of war is a great way of getting players to quit the game. I would say 6 players on our team will bypass this war next time another 6 to 10 complained about how stupid this version was. A couple talked about quitting the game. Even people that normally didn't post talked for once. I found that was hard to see and understand what was happening. Out of the 3 new versions this is the bottom and get rid of it version. Liked the other 2 versions. Yikes.
Yikes indeed. Thanks for the feedback. 👍 maybe there is a way you can make it more fun between your crew. If not then those who hate it can always skip this one. Tbh even if the insanity war is a bit of a wierd one and even if they are targeting certain players to spend more specific to this format. I'm still happy that at least we are trying something different. 😉🍻
Just did insanity war which is made imo to rig the game even more to help whales.Prime example 3 straight specials backfire on me at 20 insanity than the enemy fires theirs off perfectly fine at me right after...Even with the worst rng this is very unlikely in any game with real rng that isn't rigged.
Lol 😂 sos but I can't argue there. Still and as always we let the whales do their thing and have to be semi content with the carnage. I don't think it's righed tbh but I get that it feels that way. Had a similar thing and then 2 hits later the complete opposite. The Insanity is real 🤪
Insanity war is trash. Not sure who thought of such a poor concept. I boycotted this current because the concept is straight Trash. Definitely a sign this game is struggling.
Well just finished my war and have to say I'm not a fan at all. Once again like the clover wars they have introduced another variable of chance to the wars and strategy takes a bit of a backseat. Sure you can have 2 healers per team but I don't have 12 healers and a few of them are slow so they become less effective. I should have won 4 out of the 6 attacks but insanity was not my friend in the 4 loses as my heroes always seemed to go insane with a 20% chance or less. And to be honest I had no business winning the 2 attacks I won as their team had those exact same problems. And that's the main issue I have with this type of war along with clover. I just get frustrated with the format of these war when I loose because it has nothing to do with my strategy but all comes down to a roll of the dice. And conversely I get no satisfaction when I win for those very same reasons. I'd rather see 4 and 3 star wars than these new wars. I've already told my alliance I won't participate in these new wars and I'm not alone.
Thanks for the comments. 👍 I totally agree on Epic and Rare wars btw that would be excellent!. I'm personally not too fussed as long as they are trying new formats, I like when they shake things up! 😅Although I must admit I had a better result in Clover than this one, it is gonna be a more 'pay to win' war format for a while, but if you're not it's just one you know is gonna be a bit more of a dice roll. Like u said there's always the option to skip. Tx again love the feedback 🍻
It's the most annoying format so far. I have 20% risk to attacks myself --> I attack myself. My opponent has 20% risk to attack itself, they're heroes ignore it completely and attack me. As I said to my alliance, I'm not gonna take part in ... the next event like this. I really value condition of my mental health xD
@crimson I remember when gaming use to require skill not money or luck/lack of luck in games.All game devs sold out to money and don't really care about the quality of their games.This is exactly why I hardly ever buy games at full price it's always a letdown.

Mono healing,reverse my special and cast healing on myself?The jokes on you.
Lol 😂 I think that's the reverse of the reverse TBH 🤣 but it could work,.. make them kill themselves or time out.
Didnt realize it could heal them thats so stupid whoever came up with this war needs to be fired.
