i present: Team Underdog
ive gotten so so so bored of trying to do horde with the meta, frog lion and mantis. so i came up with an unconventional loadout that is competent enough to match the meta.
frontlines:
i was always a fan of the paw pals combo, with voltazar’s vastly increased range most notably, which lets it smack stuff without needing to pull bosses down or make way in the lane.
kangachamp is a beast in damage. i remember at the start of s1, people discovered he was absolutely nuts but then just… forgot about him.
i like chefugu. its not very offensive, but warship roll is really nice for killing bosses and the bonus sushi he sends out to heal is nice. he’s a good all rounder.
the rest:
hyphoria is good, even at lvl 1. dmg reduction and attack speed from spores, i like using her more than bat tbh.
ashlarva, at lvl 3 and 5, can also put pressure on enemies if they get too close. healing and lvl 7 are great as well
fishopus and ptooielama are the designated boss killers. with decent dps in early game, and both their lvl 7s decimate bosses in the end.
waveflutter is waveflutter.
aquariel is aquariel.
everyone sleeps on ninjaguana, but after i made my post before ive seen some more support for it, my propaganda is working. putting it in the backline allows for its lvl 5 and 7 to put a lot of the map to sleep really quickly, and is also just some really good dps.
the reason silversear is here too: voltazar can function fine without silversear, but ideally the other teammate should use silversear. if i try to cram it in my team, i will lack dps, healing, or whatever i replace it with.
i reached 748 kills on d3 with 2/3 good chips, and i average about 600 kills on d4 (i never have good luck with chips).
this team is probably in no way meta changing because i bet most players already dont invest in any of these guys. its just a way for me to keep horde fun and engaging without endlessly looping meta picks.
dont define yourself only with the meta! explore, there are so many tatari with so many abilities to offer
