Game Plan
DP targets with hard to catch spikes until the opposing team is defeated. 8v8
Spike targets.
Flag
Hold it on your runner.
If you need to run a flag, move with your entire team.
Split
Defend with the runner.
Full collapse on splits with "Fall Back!"NightfallParagon. Command 10"Fall Back!"ShoutFor 8 seconds, all allies within earshot gain 12 Health per second while moving and move 33% faster. "Fall Back!" ends on an ally affected by this Shout when that ally successfully hits with an attack.1020 and "Incoming!"NightfallParagon. Command 10"Incoming!"Elite ShoutFor 8 seconds, all allies within earshot move 33% faster, and gain 12 Health while moving.520.
Lategame
If you see an opportunity to wipe their monks and end the game, keep your damage together. If necessary and if they don't have much damage defending, you may play without a monk in the offensive team.
Else, send the fire elementalist and if necessary mind shock to help defend your base.
Playing against this team
8v8 Situations
Stay in the shield set.
Interrupt the elementalists.
Remove enchantments from the elementalists, especially the fire elementalist.
Use energy denial against the elementalists, especially the mind shock elementalist.
If you don't have means to neutralize their spikes, try splitting.
Flag
If your team can survive the spikes, dual run until you have a decisive advantage.
Split
Splits can be a useful counter against A/P spike. However, only commit when you know that the main team is very far away so you could survive a full collapse.
Lategame
Any team with frontliners should have the advantage.
Don't allow them to monkstomp.
