Thank you my good sir.
Oh wow i have tavish O…O
Fair note that some of the mercs for pvp might be based around fire, destruction, or sweeping revenge mechanics with diablo/baron geddon etc.
So in some cases, a merc amazing in one comp with synergies might not be good in another.
Like i think something about tavish might have to do with a 2 speed fire trap and diablo/baron geddon, but im not sure, i just do pve since the mode is like 80% bots and people who climb pvp say they regret it sometimes losing the ez bot xp and wins or the top people just farmed mmr farming bots b4 patch.

I am 15/0 (11 people), after playing 3 wins a day for 5 days so I could be wrong about how people use Tavish.
The way I use him is as a back line merc that will come in after my first merc has died. He is strong on his own and the two things people don’t seem to know about him (or they seem to let me set up) are Rigged Wiring + Explosive traps stack and you can attack your own mercs–so if you let him stay up 3 turns odds are he will be hit with a 2-4 speed attack and all your blue mercs will take 64 damage.
I find it hard to believe tha Grull is king of B grade. And the guy did say before that they didn’t touch the stranger appearance rate, which may or may not have been true, depending on when the hotfix was made live.
At least there is some communication.
I wonder if this is intended. Tavish gets significantly worse if you can’t stack traps.
I am using sylvanas and ive finaly figured out i have to use her last so she gets the buff from all the mercenaries that have died.
it’s probably a bug since you, can’t have bear trap along with the explosive one. They’ll either fix it soon-ish or make it a feature.
+5 Fire Resistance can do a lot to reduce the impact of Tavish’s Explosive Trap. He’s also rather brutal against both dragons, with a 25 damage (vs dragons) targeted ability at speed 4 as well as a 30/30 Rush summon (if there are opposing dragons). But if there are no dragons (on 2 dragon mercs not counting Voone’s summon), his impact is a lot lower and he doesn’t completely counter Explosive Trap either.
That was said in response to some of the complaints about people not always finding Mysterious Strangers from Mystery coins in the first few days.
The Explosive Trap is great because it wrecks caster based comps as well as punishing indiscriminate AoEs. Many casters have and use AoE abilities, which means they’re all but guaranteed to get 16x2 damage in return (which turns into 11x2 if they’re backed up by Gruul).
Keep in mind tier lists in Mercenaries change frequently and between different players. It’s impossible to lock down the absolute best comp and even then if you start getting a mirror for the top comps there’s always a counter comp out there.
