Anger Games 6: Final Weekend Teams – Rusty Hyenas

Rusty had a bit of a soft group stage, though they were able to get through JUTSU and emerge at the top of their group. They’ve historically been a mid-tier team and it would be great to see them potentially push deeper into this tournament.

Bans:

Bhaalgorn, Loki, Orthrus
Bhaalgorn, Loki, Orthrus, Redeemer

What would I do?

Somehow this team has managed to stay in the tournament with essentially one comp, with a mixed Gila kite. If we ban Florida and bring a heavy core with some control we should find a great matchup. I would ban Scimitar, Alligator, Gila.

Comp Options:

Leshak
Oneiros
Sentinel
Sentinel
Pontifex
Confessor
Draugur

Here we have a strong Leshak comp that is highly resistant to RHML clip based dps and can screen and push damage across the grid while disrupting the clips that are typically present in this comp.

Redeemer
Redeemer
Deacon
Deacon
Pontifex
Bellicose
Sentinel

If you want something more spicy, you can work on running remote boosted Redeemers with a Sentinel for mitigation and Deacons to survive any clip based damage, but it limits you entirely against a heavy strong rush comp.

Hyperion
Hyperion
Oneiros
Magus
Nergal
Ishkur
Ishkur

Finally, the Vanilla Hype comp is quite a solid counter as well to the RHML based platforms as they allow you to dive the battleships and keep them scrammed down and trade well early with the enemy particularly given their lack of logistics that can be cleared out quite easily by your low end.
