Sea Dog
I finally saved up enough LC to buy the Sea Dog. Too bad I didn't have enough to buy him before the Into the Void event because my Sea Dog would have 12,000 more mastery and be level 5 instead of 1. Had I known that he wouldn't get those mastery points I would have spent $1 to buy 15 LC.
Below is a combo I thought of and I've been wanting to try, but I didn't know if the game mechanics would work. I was worried that the Sea Dog's Gang Up might not work with things like Egg Surprise or Ambush. Now I know it works with both. Following is a pretty devastating combo that would have worked really well in the Into the Void event.
Princess, Sea Dog, Marksmen
Princess attacks to force enemies to attack a single enemy. Marksmen casts Ambush on that bird. The Sea Dog casts Gang Up on the Marksmen. In my case the enemy attacks my Princess, but eventually my Sea Dog will have more health than the Princess. Marksmen get to counter. If the target is still alive, the Sea Dog gets to counter the same target doing his enormous damage plus extra damage due to the Marksmen. The Scissors and BEEP sets do the most damage of all the sets so the amount of damage you do goes up exponentially if you can equip with those sets. It is like your enemies are being continuously carpet bombed.
I tried this strategy in SRC and despite my Sea Dog only being level 1 mastery I was able to kill WizPig before he got to attack. I got scores of 139K and 140K for SRC and I don't even have Scissors.
Edit: Less than a week after I posted this awesome strategy, Rovio made sure both the Scissors and BEEP attack sets were nerfed and for good measure they also nerfed the Candy Bomb set, but only cut that one in half. The scissor set used to have a 33% chance to do an extra 100% damage to all enemies and the BEEP set had a 45% chance to do an extra 75% damage to all enemies. Now Scissors only does an extra 35% and BEEP only does an extra 25%. This is still a very effective strategy even though the damage output has been cut tremendously.
