Pixel Heroes: Tales of Emond Tiamat Battle of Supremes PvP Guide

To win high-level Battle of Supremes matches in Pixel Heroes: Tales of Emond using Tiamat as your primary carry, position her in the backline behind a durable frontline tank and run a damage-sharing support core. High-ranking arena teams frequently rely on maximum speed and opening-round burst damage to wipe targets before they can act. Tiamat overcomes these compositions by surviving the initial assault and wiping depleted enemy formations through sustained area-of-effect damage across rounds two through four.

Tiamat Counter-Burst Team Composition

Tiamat requires a protective shell capable of absorbing focused damage, removing crowd control, and keeping her above critical health thresholds until enemy defensive buffs expire.

Team Role	Recommended Heroes	Battle of Supremes Function
Primary Carry	Tiamat (Dark)	Backline AoE damage dealer who executes survivors in mid-to-late rounds.
Frontline Anchor	Gil or Heavy Tank	Absorbs single-target ultimates and delays opponents with taunts or stuns.
Damage Distribution	Themis	Spreads incoming burst damage evenly across allies to prevent Tiamat from being one-shot.
Sustain & Cleanse	Twins or High-Sustain Healer	Strips debuffs, provides revival insurance, and restores team health pools.
Flex Sub-DPS / CC	Baal, Valkyrie, or Chronos	Breaks enemy frontline barriers and disrupts enemy turn order with crowd control.

The defensive anchor of this composition is the synergy between Tiamat and Themis. In top-tier play, pure defensive stats cannot reliably absorb concentrated Light and Dark burst skills. Damage distribution links Tiamat’s health pool to sturdy frontline units, spreading spikes across the entire board and allowing her to enter her second-round skill cycle undamaged.

Battle of Supremes Turn Sequence

Rather than investing entirely in speed gems to race top-ranked burst teams, structure your team around a deliberate second-strike tempo across four combat phases:

Survive the Opening Strike: Allow faster enemy lineups to expend their primary single-target ultimates and AoE nukes into your frontline tank and Themis’s damage-sharing barrier.
Cleanse and Stabilize: Ensure your support units act immediately following the enemy's opening turn to remove crowd control debuffs, deploy shields, and heal chip damage.
Trigger Tiamat's Retaliation: As initial enemy defensive buffs and barrier skills expire, Tiamat unleashes her ultimate across the opposing team, targeting units softened by aggressive opening positioning.
Win the Attrition Phase: By rounds three and four, burst-focused opponents lack follow-up damage. Tiamat's repeated AoE skills clear secondary supports, leaving isolated tanks with no offensive backing.

Investment Requirements and Matchup Checks

Running Tiamat as a solo carry requires specific stat thresholds and matchup scouting:

Star and Stat Thresholds: Because Tiamat is a Dark-faction hero, she requires substantial star promotion and defensive substats (health and damage reduction). Low-star copies will fold to high-tier critical strikes before supports can cycle heals.
Backline Dive Threats: Opponents fielding dedicated backline assassins can bypass frontline tanks. If Tiamat is targeted directly, swap your flex slot for a secondary tank or equip spell-immunity relics.
Anti-Heal and Heavy Lockout: If an opposing team combines high speed with anti-heal debuffs and multi-target crowd control, your cleansers must carry enough resistance to ensure damage-sharing and recovery buffs trigger after round one.
