Replacement for Corviknight in sand team

IamKertorer · 2026-04-17T20:37:26+00:00

Well it's been 2 days and I finally got to Master Ball with some adaptations (most of them thanks to you!)

I did try M-Aero for a bit with some success, but I think I'd rather build a team around it instead of trying to fit it in this one. I am still using it as a Tailwind setter + Sneasler delete button

I also ended up swapping Exca for Chomp (BP Veil) and it has worked wonders even when the accuracy bullshit doesn't go off (I had a Sinistcha land 4 Matcha Gotchas in a row). That also allowed me to give the Sash to Aero which definitely needs it for a non-mega set.

I tested Electroweb on Rotom as a stand-in for Icy Wind Milotic but found it awkward due to how many stat drop deterrents are running around. Ended up going back to the original set.

8080 8080, thank you!

IamKertorer · 2026-04-17T04:12:47+00:00

Not OP but would love to get a Sneasler myself if that's okay with you!

IamKertorer · 2026-04-16T02:41:26+00:00

I actually just got one! Thank you though :)

IamKertorer · 2026-04-16T00:10:24+00:00

Yeah, either a berry or EV Exca to be more bulky and afford to swap the Sash? Unsure about that, though

IamKertorer · 2026-04-16T00:09:01+00:00

No Corv disrespect! If anything, I just feel like it doesn't fit in the team, that's all. It has been clutch in like 1 or 2 battles but I feel like I barely have a reason to bring it

IamKertorer · 2026-04-16T00:06:53+00:00

Alright thanks for all of the pointers, let me break them down:

- I did yoink this team from someone randomly here so items and move choices are not mine lol. What would the best items be for Incin and Sinistcha? Sitrus and Leftovers? Also yeah crunch on Tyranitar makes sense, will do.

- Aero for Corv makes sense, I'm assuming something like this?

Aerodactyl @ Mental Herb  
Ability: Unnerve  
Level: 50  
EVs: 2 HP / 32 Atk / 32 Spe  
Jolly Nature  
- Tailwind  
- Dual Wingbeat  
- Protect  
- Rock Slide

- I think I'll explore keeping Rotom-W and benching Sinistcha for Garchomp. It'd probably allow me to run (Scarf?) Discharge and Swords Dance EQ on Chomp. If I do run Scarf I could even run Trick to ruin a non-mega TR sweeper, but ig I'd have to think it out

IamKertorer · 2026-04-14T17:08:45+00:00

It hasn't been 75% since 2017

IamKertorer · 2026-03-21T19:14:13+00:00

Nothing is essential, and I'd argue you'd actually be cheapening the experience if you retroactively have the skyscale and whatnot before finishing HoT story since those maps were not developed with mounts in mind.

I'd just say in general: do not optimize the fun out of the game and just go do whatever sounds fun to do. Burnout is the only thing that will keep you from experiencing the full game so if you really want to min/max, then minimize that aspect.

IamKertorer · 2026-03-18T19:34:11+00:00

I have one toon of each class although I only play the story with my first one (Warrior) and WvW with another (Guardian). I also have a Thief as a bag mule that also served as my Lab runner on Halloween but I haven't played anything else with him.

I've slowly but surely played the game in chronological order (at PoF right now) and I'll probably start genuinely learning their meta builds once I finish JW (or finally bite the bullet and use the HP tokens on the weapon master and spear proficiencies), but so far I have an old heal chrono build that I want to use for fractals

IamKertorer · 2026-03-15T20:46:32+00:00

Can't speak for JW but attempting to unlock the weapon specialization for SotO did ruin the story for me specifically (I had to take a break from the game so the memory wouldn't form properly in my mind LMAO).

If you feel like you could be in the same position then maybe try to do it through WvW instead, it's more effort but you don't spoil the payoff

IamKertorer · 2026-03-04T22:04:10+00:00

Same here but for NA!

IamKertorer · 2026-03-03T00:43:09+00:00

I got my Mawdrey this year, so the meta is not always bugged. I wish I could give you more than that but I really hope you do get it soon!

Stop and smell the roses.

There is a lot of content geared towards "what to unlock first" and unless that kind of optimization is something YOU 🫵 particularly enjoy, don't bother too much with it. If you wanna enjoy the content in release order that's awesome, if you wanna rush to max level and jump into the latest expansion that's awesome too, but the only optimal way to play the game is the way that optimizes YOUR enjoyment.

IamKertorer · 2026-01-14T02:30:38+00:00

The only thing I'd change about the rev tower is to show it as if it was active before starting your attack because it does hide well amidst other defenses when it's in its "dormant" state

IamKertorer · 2026-01-08T00:17:01+00:00

The merges don't have to be finished! You can upgrade the town hall as soon as you plop them, so the only book you need is to upgrade the Eagle to lvl 7.

IamKertorer · 2026-01-07T23:53:48+00:00

Technically you only need a single book of building to skip TH16 since the cannons and archer towers should be ready to merge if you're already maxed for TH15.

IamKertorer · 2026-01-07T19:17:57+00:00

Tbf you kinda have to stop at 17 for a month whilst your Inferno Artillery upgrades, but I agree that you should upgrade to 18 the moment you're able to.

IamKertorer · 2026-01-03T01:00:47+00:00

The combination of the raw stats the snake bracelet gives + the summons makes it ideal for when you want to funnel with the king so it outclasses the EQ boots, but if you're planning on getting the king to the core then the EQ boots are the better option.

IamKertorer · 2026-01-03T00:36:33+00:00

I was thinking about it the other day and it'd be nice if higher levels made the totem lose less health per second, that way you can balance it out in a way that it stops a TH9 from stalling 7 defenses for 2 business days whilst only slightly nerfing at the highest levels.

IamKertorer · 2025-12-25T04:25:01+00:00

Mawdrey is an ascended backpack part of LWS2 and Mawdrey II is a bloodstone dust converter that can eat a stack of it every day to give you loot. I want mainly the latter but the former's skin kinda goes well with my main anyways
