PvP tactics - Faiza 1v3 solo

I've been toying around a bit with different setups, using the new empowered E-isos. If you are willing to spend a bit of gold, here's a massively strong offense combo I came up with that can wreck your opponent with ease.
 

- E-iso 1: Tacticians Battle Plans (MUST HAVE! It's 15 gold during the current sale, 30 gold when sale ends. Grab it now.)

- E-iso 2: Pretty much free reign. Inspiring is good for the team stat boost. Inceptive Resurrection/Survival/Intangible can be helpful to prevent her from dying before she gets her turn.

* A-iso L1: Mauling (MUST HAVE! It's 30 gold, worth it... trust me)

* A-iso L2: Burdening or leave empty. DO NOT PUT LETHAL OR AILING HERE! They cause her L2 to gain a 2 round cooldown which you DO NOT WANT!

* A-iso L6: Rising or leave empty

* A-iso L9: Up to you, doesn't really matter. Dependable would be the optimal choice.

With this setup, Faize can solo your opponent as long as she gets at least 1 turn and doesn't get interrupted. How? Check it out.

You MUST use AoE hack for this to work.

The Mauling A-iso in her L1 causes Flanked on all enemies meaning every time she attacks with her L1 afterwards, she immediately follows up with her L1 again afterwards for double damage. Because this is a single target attack, she gains an immediate extra turn from the Tacticians Battle Plans E-iso, allowing her to use her L2 ability and lock down all enemies, forcing them to do nothing but recharge. As long as you do not slot a Lethal a-iso in it, it has no cooldown and you can use it every turn.

During round 2, all enemies will waste their turn by recharging, and you just repeat the above step again over and over until they are all dead. Your agent can sit with his thumb up his arse while your third hero is away on the flight deck. Faiza takes care of everything.

Add your agent and another hero into the mix and things will be so much easier.


Enjoy it before the nerf-hammer strikes again.

thanks for explaining this

the only problem i notice is that tactical tendencies first application is a buff that can be removed.
so it is important that her buff not be removed, and well that she gets a turn, and does not die.

Nice observation, I hadn't noticed that. Bring along a Mystic or Lantern of Doom on your agent to help survivability and prevent debuffs like Exhausted and whatnot. As a third hero I'd definitely suggest Nico as the absolute #1. She deals crazy damage, especially her L1 against flanked enemies which hits them twice, and her L2 can grant an immedately free turn to Faiza if needed.

Just keep in mind if you do bring Nico along, don't bring Mystic/Lantern as she won't be able to bleed herself with L9, which is required for her to grant extra turns. Alternatively you can swap her out for Mantis, who is also an amazing support hero that can grant free turns as a Quick Action. Cable can also grant free turns, although I'd only pick him if you have none of the others.

Even IF Faiza gets purged and loses the extra turn benefit, you can still use her L2 and then finish off the opponent using your agent and third hero. It really is a win/win no matter what.

The only thing I can see beating this combo is a massively pumped up Spitlord type team that can potentially wipe you out instantly. Some of the mentioned e-isos should prevent that from happening though.

At the end of the day it's not a 100% win team, but I dare say it's damn close.

Go high defense armory and bring along a debuff/DoT setup group and just load em up with those sweet dots while they all sit there recharging like debilitated turds.

I will try this setup and keep you posted. It seems like a great way for easy wins. Thanks for the advice fathead.

I don't see any Burdening A-iso, neither to buy. I don't have any that you mentioned and nothing that I afford to buy, but is very good tactic

A really really REALLY strong team-up with Faiza on offence is Black Panther in his Urban Jungle Bruiser suit. He can do team wipes in 1-2 rounds now with AoE hack.

was a rare drop from the cammi (33) specop
 

Also, you can put leeching on her lv2 and drain your opponet to death

do it increase the cooldown of lv2 or only the lethal a-iso increases the cooldown?

how to prevent faiza get interupted?

In Adamantium, you face opponents with Mystic Shroud/Wadring Essence+Intangible.

You would need a really lucky turn order with this setup for a reliable victory streak.

Bring Pestilence Beast.

But yes it's not a fool-proof strategy. Unlucky turn order can still screw you over, as can bugs and fucked up debuffs that prevent Hippocratic Oath from working even when it should. This game is a pile of dogshit in that regard.

Ya, I have been noticing this a lot where I will use Hippocratic Oath and it either won't stick initially or I seen it be removed even though no one attacked her. I believe it is attacking enemy faiza removes it which is 90% of defense teams right now.
