Tournament Difficulty Ranking

In Elvenar, when it comes to fighting, not all tournaments are created equal.  Especially if you find yourself using "Auto Fight"!  For most tournaments, you can easily use Auto Fight most of the time in the beginning round or so.  And in some, you can still use it often into rounds 3 and 4.  However, some tournaments are more difficult.  And for a few it will be difficult to use Auto Fight regularly.  I'm looking at you Scrolls and Magic Dust!  After trying a few out, you may choose to Cater the more difficult tournament types.

Below is a list, in ranking order, from the easiest to the hardest tournament to fight.  Remember, this list is largely fluid!  The difficulty for each tournament type is affected by each player's race, advancement in the tech tree, level of units, amount of squad size upgrades completed, etc.  But one thing everyone agrees on are the two most difficult types!

From easiest to hardest:
Planks
Silk
Crystal
Steel
Elixir
Marble
Gems
Magic Dust
Scrolls

A great explanation of why the tournament types are ordered as they are, can be found on a post by qaccy on the Elvenar Forums.  It goes into detail about the unit types and their general strengths and weaknesses.

A great resource for participating in tournaments can be found at Elvenar Gems of Knowledge.  This site has a ton of great information, including a complete breakdown of each tournament type.  The suggestions it gives for which units to use during each tournament type is normally spot on!  Just play around with the number of squads of each unit type, and eventually you will find exactly what you need to use when facing the different enemy groupings.

I hope this helps.  Good luck!
