Defense masteries

When exactly do your masteries lock on your defenders? When you join the war, or when you actually place the champ? Say for example, I want my dr doom to have mystic dispersion, I'd put that mastery on before I place my defense, but I want suicides on my Elsa bloodstone, but not doom. Would I be able to place doom with MD, and then change masteries to put suicides on after I place him to put the rest down with them on, or do they lock the moment you join?

edit: nvm was thinking of synergies, not masteries

Masteries do effect defenders. Synergies don’t. I would assume if their was a way to avoid suicides on defenders the highest alliances would already be doing it. So I’m guessing they get locked as soon as you join.

I dunno, usually people set masteries for offense, suicides for added attack damage at cost of health, via poison and/or bleed.. Omega Red, robots, and some other champions are great for it, but if a person has suicides on, their defender also get drawback from it..

59 points to assign in masteries. For mystic champions, at least 3pt in mystic dispersion, 4 to 5 points if your lock solid on mystic champions for offense and defense.. if your using bleed champion, I suggest setting some points in deep wound, assassin.

I guess others will chime in.

I guess the world may never know... since people don't typically comment on the defense they fought, it's not like we could experiment and then ask the person who fought them to find out.

Masteries are in play during defense. Any and all masteries a player has; those masteries are in effect for all 5 champs they place.

Boosts and synergies do not work in AWD.

Hey All,

So, we've done a lot of deep diving into the issue. From our first investigation, we found nothing wrong. It looks like there were no changes to Masteries on those Champions between Placement Phase, and the War ending, but we wanted to be sure that nothing else went on.

We spent a lot of time looking into this, and even went into some very specific reproduction steps. Our investigations so far have concluded that there is nothing wrong, and that your Masteries will not change between Phases if you change them.

Thanks for your patience on this one!

Should be locked at placement.

OP was asking for a much more specific interpretation of “when” as opposed to the broad sense of “when they are placed”.

Wants to know if it is at the time you initially commit to the 5 defenders, versus when you actually move them from your 5-member list onto an actual map node # (and thus could they change mastery in between actually moving each of the 5 champs from the bench to the actual map and have each of his different defenders have different Masteries in place).

I would tend to say it’s the first case (locked in when the 5 are first committed), no matter when it is that you later move them onto a map node (and for that matter, no matter if you or officers actually move them around from one node to another later on either).

All 5 of the defenders should ALL have the SAME Masteries.
