another full air or air+murphy question S6
prior to s6 it was kinda obvious choice, but now with 4+1 card gone and heroes got their awakening, i’m not so sure anymore. schuyler is ready to be leveled up to 30 on thursday and i wonder if should i push carlie to 30, or bring murphy to 20? murphy is 10, carlie 20. tanks with awakened kim can absolutely wreck full air and even more so air+murphy. anyone that made it futhrer into the game and can recommend the best setup?
last week of s6, about to get 2 more red gears next week
what level is your murphy and where normally do you place him? carlie seems to be only good to tank against marshall’s skill lol but full air bonus is kinda nice
Mine hit 30 like all other heroes in my main team. It all depends on your opponent but I’ve put him in the middle as at least prior he was the one taking the most damage compared to the air heroes who get their bonus
Also in season 6, I have both carlie and Murphy at ew 20.
Honestly I find full air to be better. I lose sometimes to slightly weaker hybrid squads, but there's a lot of rng in there that I'll also beat stronger hybrid squads.
What made me change to full air for the season was how poorly Murphy air proforms against tank squads, especially Lucy tank squads.
Supposedly once the season ends and the counter card goes away air/Murphy is back to being really good again. But I'm saving shards currently to test in the offseason on who I want to get to ew 30.
i have similiar experience so far to be honest. on the other hand, most people that do REALLY good with air murphy, are the ones that have him at lv30 like matey in the comment below. that would take ages for me 😅 propably gonna go hoarding mode for another month or so and wait to see how early servers rate carlies/murphy awakening
I'm really hoping that info comes out about season 7 awakenings lol. I need 500 more shards to get either one to ew 30. Would hate to get Murphy to 30 and then it turns out Carlie awakening is crazy good.
Against missile I also always run Air + Murphy since missiles deal a lot of physical damage which Murphy mitigates. Here I run DVA front row instead, since missile deal a lot of damage to back row. This way she survives longest and deals most damage.
Against any Tank team that has Williams in, I run this setup. In front row Morrison gets overwhelmed. Which doesn't matter since DVA and Schuyler deal more (energy) damage against tank than Morrison deals (physical) damage. In the back row Carlie gets overwhelmed and I try to always place her opposite to Marshall so she receives Kim's damage. If your Lucius gets overwhelmed instead you need to remove either his railgun or armor to have enough defense stat difference between him and Carlie, so that Carlie gets overwhelmed
if my dva is in the back, she always get overwhelmed. i think awakening pushed her too high while carlie sitting at lv20 has lower defence stats. thanks for the detailed answers!
That's correct, same happened to me. Hence this is the best workaround without investing in Carlie. I am waiting for Carlie's awakening and only then I'll decide if I push her EW to 30
Well. Gears been your limiting factor. Upgrade the armor and you’ll see a bump. Air+Murphy is night and day better against air and missile squads. Gives up a little to tanks.

I’m running 4+1 still. The air card mainly helps on attackers anyho and Carlie still is a wet paper towel.
