@pointless I’m only at Platinum and haven’t encountered nearly as many Valiant Set opponents as you, but I will be in Diamond next week. Have you considered that a good strategy against the Valiant set might be to concentrate more on taking the banner out than always trying to knock the enemy birds out?
Most people like to use Marksmen, Samurai and Cannoneer for the objective that requires you to take out the banner without knocking out any enemy birds or not using rage chili. That team works well unless your opponent is using the mana set. However it is nearly impossible to 3 star a battle without knocking out a bird using that team. I’ve discovered that I can 3 star a battle without knocking out any birds by using Samurai, Marksmen and Rainbird with the Blessed Set
I’m almost afraid to post this because in the past when I’ve posted things like this Rovio nerfed a lot of items. Another team that is very effective at concentrating on the enemy banner without knocking out any birds is Marksmen, Samurai and Priestess combined with the Blessed set. The Marksmen’s Volley adds a huge amount of damage and the Preistess’ Angelic Touch let’s your birds heal themselves almost as fast as casting Matilda’s Medicine every round. The extra 75% healing from the Blessed set is the key. Of course equipping with other items like Protector’s Aura, Sweet! and Save Me help a lot too. Even with rank zero items your Samurai will heal himself over 3000 every round.
