Recommended Builds (4-Star and 5-Star)


Build 1

Riptide 

Full Nelson Slam


Nightmare Lock

Trainer 1: Xavier Woods "The New Day"

Trainer 2: Cesaro "The Professional"

Coach 1: Triple H "DX"

Coach 2: "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan

Skill Plate: All Heart


Prioritize Purple matches. Use Full Nelson Slam to charge the Green Moves, then use Nightmare Lock and place the Submission Gems on isolated Purple Gems if possible. Use Riptide and select the Purple Multiply Gems to destroy (their damage will be improved by the Skill Plate) to help recharge Full Nelson Slam and renew the cycle.



Build 2

Knee Snapmare Dropkick Combo

Backlift Facebuster


Release Flapjack

Trainer 1: Sting "The Icon" OR Xavier Woods "The New Day"

Trainer 2: Luke Harper "The Prodigal Son"

Coach 1: X-Pac "DX"

Coach 2: "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan

Skill Plate: Aftershock OR Eternal Positivity


Prioritize Red matches if Sting is equipped, prioritize Purple matches if Xavier is equipped. Use Release Flapjack prior to using Knee Snapmare, then use Knee Snapmare to destroy Purple Gems and deal boosted damage. Use Backlift Facebuster to help recharge her Moves. The Skill Plates in this case are simply for improving consistency when looking for early matches.


Recommended Builds (5-Star Only)  


Build 1

Riptide 

Nightmare Lock


Delayed Vertical Suplex

Trainer 1: George "The Animal" Steele

Trainer 2: Seth Rollins "The Undisputed Fiend"

Coach 1: Triple H "DX"

Coach 2: Undertaker "Dead Man Walking"

Skill Plate: All Heart


Immediately use Delayed Vertical Suplex to place a 1x3 area of Countdown Gems in a safe location (where they are unlikely to be destroyed). Prioritize Green matches, then use Nightmare Lock and place the Submission Gems over Green Gems. Once the Submission ends and the Countdown Gems activate, use Riptide and choose now-very-large Multiply Gems to destroy for massive damage and MP. The "All Heart" Skill Plate particularly shines in this build.



Note: these are a few suggestions, but there are additional viable combinations of Moves and Entourages; feel free to experiment!


Strong Against

  • Superstars that rely heavily on Purple or Green Gems.
  • Superstars that have difficulty against repeated Submissions.

Weak Against

  • Superstars that frequently manipulate Gem position on the Gem Board.
  • Very fast Tricksters.

    I prefer build #2 but instead of destroying additional purple gems I add a trainer to further increase purple gem damage. If you destroy more purple gems you run out of ones to destroy in future turns and the damage typically isn't enough in 1 turn.
