Yahh, like bob said, not to good on opposite sides. It would get the shit flanked out of it.

My suggetion is move the DMW diagonaly back one row and put the assasin diagonaly behind the knight on the other side

i like the DMW there cause if LW isnt in front row of cleric i can move up 3 and barior and then i could kill cleric

Yeah on my grey account it's something like that too. it's a good setup!

I only see about 2 errors. First off the Barrier Ward should be moved 2 spaces in front of cleric just so that if the opponent is out out of range units you can use your lightning ward because the unit is in it's range. Also the lightning ward should switch spots with the knight to the right of it. Just so that you can use the LW's range to it's advantage .. you can't do that in your set. Otherwise it's good :D

It isnt bad. However, the DMW is pretty useless there; almost every grey setup has the cleric behind the LW. I would put the DMW where the scout is and move the scout 3 to the right to protect the flank. Not bad, I honestly think grey games come down almost entirely to skill, so basically any reasonable grey setup can be used effectively.

EDIT: WHAT THE HECK!?!? Why am i golded!?!?!

It's very good, and it could work especially well opposite-sides.

Offline, that is a great same side formation one problem, if its oppsiste side your going to have a difficult time if they move threw the flank you have. Because they could easily fool you by having you move all your units to one side and rape you on the other. Otherwise overall, 8

1) Assassin position is very pointless, most same side forms have their front lines blocked, so that assassin would be very useless. Against opposite forms, that ass position only means you have to waste an extra turn moving it. I'd put in closer to the center so that it can be useful as a flanking unit.

The witch already prevents units from marching in from the side.

2) your B ward basically traps the cleric in that it has nowhere to retreat to in case of a flanking, making chanty your only defense. I'd move it one space foward or to the right.

3) The scout position keeps it from easily going on the offense. Since you use a B ward, you can afford to leave the scout a little more open, so it should either be in a more agressive location or off to the side (where the assassin is). But if you use it as a side blocker, then the witch should be moved to a more agressive location.

That is almost exactly like my set.

Though, it seems like a soild formation. Even though there is already a thread for this kind of thing.

move your chanty about 3 spaces or so outwards, and then move each of the two knights in the top right down one space

It leaves your cleric exposed to scout fire.

It leaves your cleric exposed to scout fire.The two spaces in the middle row on either side of the lightning ward, too ;)

move your chanty about 3 spaces or so outwards, and then move each of the two knights in the top right down one spaceThat leaves her a little bit too open to scout/assassin damage. Plus, the scout can hit the barrier ward if there's an assassin to damage the chanty first.

Next to the cleric works well enough as long as you don't let them park their scout back there and rush a knight or assassin up.

i think u need to put the scout in the first row n the assasin beside the barier ward . barier ward needs to be 2 space front of the cleric n i think a Pyro will be better than a witch :)

I played you on GL last night i believe, versus two sets. (I am die.)

they are both solid except i like moving the BW back one, the witch up one, the scout back one and the pyro up one. it gives you superior cleric protection and better position for your DMW. (DMW is key in same side matches.)

this is all in reference to the last one you posted.

I would say make your knights more agressive move them up one space and have only one knight on the left side of yor lw and one on the other and the other diagnol. just some thoughts

Exactly. Except you might want to move the DMW up one space (don't worry about 1st turn kills, extremely rare someone puts their LW there.) I was up to 1200 with a set similar to this. Remember a few things:
1. Keep the enchantress alive, unless of course you can trade her for a scout (and a DMW if you are lucky).

2. Your arch-enemies are DMWs, Pyros and Scouts. Kill them quick, but scouts the quickest ;)

If you are good enough with the enchantress, if the match goes long and gets close, you will win 90% of the time.

move the scout up and the witch out

dual chanty sets are rush sets where you rush their range, and then pull back. that usually means your witch and one knight will die, but then you win the game.

Move the scout 1 to the RIGHT and the knight thats more "downwards"/backwards (Not in line of other 2) down 1 and right 1. It may open a little hole for them to charge in, but that would take a few turns eh? So, if you faced a gold they would try and possibly flank you. With the knight down there for a little more protection (Lets say against a scout, Knight recovers 1 turn, scout 2). Thats just my opinion, other than that leave it the way it is because it looks great! :) :bigsmile:
