Hey all,

Xanthus and I were doing a little research on turn 7 and discovered a new strategy that people have come up with called 'Renaud 4 Stack'.

The idea behind it is simple - if 4 renauds are active in the arena at the same time no more renauds will spawn.

This can be accomplished easily with a summoner in the group because Miasma applies a 120% slow to the target and the Renaud also has a heavy effect on them… the two effects stack and literally make the Renaud move at a glacial pace, virtually immobile. This makes it easy for the 4 to literally be on top of each other and each get Cursed Stone every time from the healers.

Linked is a video. I think we should really give this a shot. Removing the random factor of Renauds/Voices/Shrieks all working out would help considerably.
Here is a video showing the strategy:

ALSO:
There is an important 'phase-change' mechanic that both Xanthus and I were not aware of. You can view the reddit thread here, I hope you all have a chance to check it out, I think this will make Turn 7 tremendously easier, I know it sounds like it will at least.
