Second Tourney tips?

[tkoshark]

I've been doing a little research into the Second Tournament and daaang it looks hard. What level should most of my characters be at when I attempt? Any other tips?

I don’t have any basic tips other than “have a good crew” and possibly “have a bench which can fight” (if you take injuries). If and when you attempt it, and if you don’t make it through, evaluate WHY you lost, and make adjustments based on that ^_^

Bring Phoenix Bands on your squishiest units. The AI typically won't be afraid to beeline toward your most vulnerable characters. Two of the fights will have the enemies stack buffs on first turn - bringing Dispel (druid), Cleansing Blade (templar), or Steal Buffs (scoundrel) will definitely help out.

I personally like running gadgeteer, running the Dispelotron and having Energizer makes for great turnarounds. Combined with Harmonizer, makes for easy pickings.

Gadgeteer is decent, but the dispel gadget only affects a single target without any other effects. Dispel is AoE, Cleansing Blade does great damage, and Steal Buffs gives the buffs to the attacker. I wouldn't rely on it as the only buff remover.

That's fair, I just like the aesthetics of the class all my gadgeteer users have goggles and monocles.

Also I like Energizer a lot, I should probably use Blood Magic more but I don't like Lich's.

Thanks for your input, folks. I ended up attempting three times and just kept adjusting after each attempt. The first time, I got pwned in the first round. The second time, destroyed in the second. The third time, I rearranged my skills much more conservatively and did a lot of redundant menders, and then I utterly defeated the whole tourney!
