@maxxmatt  I played around a bit with subbing Illusionist for Tbird and one thing I noticed that might have been a one-time bug is that if I used rage at the beginning of a turn, it disabled the mirror effect from Illusionist for all the birds during that turn. But then I tried it a second time after restarting the game and there didn’t seem to be any effect of using the rage chili on the mirror effect. Have you seen anything like that, where use of a rage chili disables the mirror effect? Otherwise it’s a fun way to go through 26/10.

I tried using Skulkers early on for the increased damage (paired with Tbird) and I didn’t find it useful. Snor called allies most every time, and the increased damage from Skulkers doesn’t work on them so the allies killed one bird after another. But I’ll have to try it with Illusionist/Skulkers to see if that plays faster. Your idea of double attacking with Bard and Samurai is pretty killer in terms of stunning Snor (and the double-attack from TH is very good at resetting his counter).

The thing I like about Tbird is that if Snor does call allies, the Tbird shield effect (when combined with Samurai’s shield) is very effective at getting rid of the other pigs. That strategy doesn’t work with Illusionist. But maybe the mirror effect stuns enough that you don’t need to worry about getting rid of ally pigs.

The other benefit of Samurai/Tbird/Bard/TH is that it is almost brainless. Just cycle through the birds, use the rage chili as soon as it’s ready, and keep going. When I use Illusionist I’m constantly trying to figure out which bird needs a recharge from Illusionist. (And you are right, the fact that Bard resets the double stun from Samurai is annoying.)

Thanks for helping out with this. As an aside, why aren’t you using mastery buys at the dojo to level up your flock?
