Thanks for the reply. 🙂

From your answers to the first two questions, my understanding is basically this:

A team with good push wants a slow game because they are weak early but will scale from the income.

A team with bad push wants a fast game because they are strong early but will not scale as well.

However my observations are that both types of teams almost always will send 10 and will need to up king. It’s pretty rare in my experience to see a game where one team does not send 10 and also rare for a team to get away without upgrading king. As such, I do not understand how the team with bad push has the advantage in terms of how will they win on 10 exactly? If they go 4 regen, I can assume they will not spend any more lumber until around wave 5 when they decide to send 7 or not. If they decide not to send 7, my guess is they will upgrade king some more unless they are sure they have a very strong 7 (such as your example of 3 ygg mermaid) and a very strong 10 (idk maybe hades necro?) so I don’t think I quite understand how the bad push team intends to win on 10? Maybe you can clear this up a bit for me.

In my example draft, I was curious what you would look for more specifically. I’ll give you 3 fake teammate rolls and see if you could give me your logic on what to do in that specific case, but if you could also write more about the logic process behind what constitutes a good ally holder etc that would be helpful.

(Assume if it’s a bad roll then they already rerolled as many times as is reasonable)
Teammate 1: Colt, Spitter, Bottom Feeder, Medicine Man, Harlot, Dhawk

Teammate 2: Parrot, Aqua, Sprite, Mermaid, Alchemist, Firelord

Teammate 3: Orc Warrior, Egg Sack, Phantom, Polar Bear, Wyvern, Firelord

You reasonably answered the question about holders, except I’m not sure if I understand when you think it’s the right idea to have nobody building as holder? Let’s say for example you have a team with everyone rolling a good yolo unit such as Aqua and the best holder style unit anyone got was just a harlot. (maybe this is unrealistic, idk) Would you recommend that everyone just do aquas in this case? Are you going to do a lot of king or only when needed?
