Crazy mixed water march w. Hanni-Richard-Qin-Merlin-Water Dragon (patch 2.5)

Unveiling the Unconventional: A Remarkably Effective Water Build in Infinity Kingdom

In the vast realm of Infinity Kingdom, where strategy and tactics reign supreme, players are constantly seeking innovative ways to gain the upper hand. Among the countless builds and strategies that have emerged, one stands out as a shining example of the unexpected: a peculiar water build that defies conventional wisdom and delivers astonishing results. As an avid player with 845 days of experience, I can confidently say that this build is one of the most intriguing, fun, and effective strategies I have ever encountered in the game.

You must place Richard in front of the enemy Alexander and then sit back and enjoy seeing earth melt on your water build! Amazing build for all of you water mains who need a counter to strong earth setups. In particular, this build is amazing for younger servers where pute earth dominates the rankings. If you cannot go lightning Khan or join the earth horde – then kill them with this instead!

Imagine diving into uncharted waters, where the rules of engagement are rewritten and the familiar tropes are shattered. This unique water build challenges the norms, offering a fresh perspective that will leave you both surprised and delighted. It proves that in the ever-evolving world of Infinity Kingdom, there is always room for innovation and experimentation. All in all it’s one of the most powerful cheap and interesting setups i’ve ever seen and I am super hyped to share it with you all!

What makes this water build truly exceptional is its surprising effectiveness. While it may seem strange and unconventional at first glance, the combination of different Immortals in this build showcases an unexpected synergy that catches opponents off guard. The tide turns in your favor as you witness the remarkable power of this unorthodox strategy, surpassing expectations and achieving victories that defy conventional wisdom. We are used to builds that reap the benefits of elemental synergy buffs. In this setup, we have only two parts water and as such we do not even get the 3/5 elemental boost, despite most of us thinking ‘you can’t run something without elemental bonuses’ this setup truely defies that with quite extraordinary results.

Beyond its impressive performance, what truly sets this build apart is the sheer joy and fascination it brings to the game. Playing with this unconventional strategy breathes new life into your gaming experience, offering an engaging and entertaining approach that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s a testament to the boundless creativity and endless possibilities that Infinity Kingdom has to offer. Huge respect to Deej from server 73 BUNS who came up with the crazy cool build!

The build setup

For Merlin we have a very standard setup. Concentration + Annihilation + Death Breath is a very run of the mill build for Merlin that will always secure impressive performance from our master damage dealer Merlin.

For Emperor Qin we have Berserk + Assist + Fighting Master. Basically, Qin becomes a wounds and attack speed vending machine. He functions very well in this role and has huge synergies with Hannibal Barca (especially if you obtain his Unique Artifact). Moreover, because we are only interested in attack speed buffs and wounds from Qin we can comfortably run assist on him and allow his troop count to be nuked instead of Merlin’s.

For Hannibal Barca we have a pretty standard cleave – attack speed setup: Anger + Combo + Cleave. It is clear that we are relying on the attack speed buffs from Qin and from a powerful Hannibal Unique Artifact to make this build work. I would argue that he can be replaced 1:1 with Alex if you are in a situation where you have high level Alex unique but not Hannibal.

However, with this build setup it is clear that this is an extreemly powerful build that costs you almost nothing to run if you are in a younger server and you have had the chance to obtain free or cheap Hannibal Barca unique artifacts.

Last up we have Richard. A surprising choice of Immortal for me personally, but also a very underrated Immortal. Richard’s stun is very powerful and he performs the role of tank quite well too. In this build we are running: Misleading + Life Link + Oaken Guard. Playing on our enemies being non hit-capped will work very well until you reach the 400k+ threshold giving huge defensive value to misleading. Moreover, Life Link is an amazing tower of knowledge skill mitigating damage and even turning a tanky Richard into a thorns-damage-dealer. Lastly, Oaken guard is just solid solid solid and a must have in the current physical damage meta.

For the Dragon this team wants to get the control from the water Dragon in combination with Richard stuns to take control of the battlefield. To further the control this team wields we use the energy regen dragon specialization, effectively removing the energy regen of up to 3 enemy Immortals while Frozen. A very powerful control mechanic.

Moreover, you want the healing from the water dragon to keep your troop count up. This does leave you vulnerable to wounds, but if your enemy does not have access to wounds you get a nice and healthy boost from the added healing over time from the dragon specialization talents.

Results

This team makes cheap / free water mains able to kill even earths at much higher levels! It overperforms greatly and provides a very fun an different way of winning against much bigger opponents. Overall a very impressive build that I am super hyped to see work so well!
