Had a pretty good string of wins in the early morning today. I was facing several variations of Valk/DAH/Whatever and the team I put together was winning almost every time. The players seemed skilled as well, so I believe that this team is very solid. In fact, this team did well against just about everything except Idol teams, but if his hit rate ever gets fixed, this team would do well against them as well. I even somehow beat a triple SS crow team with it. The most common team I hit during this time were:
[pet]Unborn Valk'yr[/pet] / [pet]Death Adder Hatchling[/pet] / [pet]Fiendish Imp[/pet]
I know that it was at least two different players because one team had named pets and I would queue into the same team with just generic names from time-to-time. The team that I ran was:
[pet]Emperor Crab[/pet] / [pet]Fossilized Hatchling[/pet] / [pet]Cogblade Raptor[/pet]
The Crab was P/P running with [ability]Surge[/ability], [ability]Heal[/ability] and [ability]Shell Shield[/ability],the Hatchling was running with [ability]Bonestorm[/ability] (wanted to use [ability]Bone Prison[/ability] to trap the Imp, but just doesn't work well because of NG), and the Raptor is S/S (equal speed of the Adder, thus negating a round of blind if you go first) running with [ability]Batter[/ability] and [ability]Overtune[/ability]. The only thing that made wins trying at times was the Imp, as he is difficult to deal with. Due to [ability]Surge[/ability] going first, and the Cogblade's speed (especially if you [ability]Overtune[/ability] and are faster), this means that [ability]Blinding Poison[/ability] actually only lasts for one round, which takes a lot of the sting out of this pet. The Cogblade eats up the Adder, the Hatchling whittles away at the Imp with Bonestorm, and is useful as a dmg-soak, and the Crab can almost take the Valk and the Adder by himself. I also ran into a [pet]Unborn Valk'yr[/pet] / [pet]Death Adder Hatchling[/pet] / [pet]Murkalot[/pet] team a few times and absolutely destroyed it.
Has anyone else tried this combo yet, or ran the abilities different with it?
