Blitz Strategy
Tips and Tricks
The Blitz just started and you are at tier 1. Always start with your lowest strength team and work your way up to your best. You want your best teams getting the best multipliers so hold them for your end tier goal. You can either make pre-set teams to use during your initial climb or just use your lowest 5 available characters in each team. Also, you can auto-play the early tiers if your teams are good enough to be reliable, play guided auto-play, where you don't choose the abilities but select the targets as it auto plays to increase your odds of winning, or the best chance of winning is usually to control everything yourself. If you want to use blitz charges wait to use them until you are down to you 5-6 best teams. Then use your worst best team multiple times until the cost to use the team is no longer 25 charges. Then move onto your next lowest and repeat.
This is the hard part. Stop your climb at the tier you can reliably win with your top teams. For everyone this is different so you will have to test it out. Luckily the multipliers at the higher tiers do not increase by that much so stopping at tier 6 isn't too much worse than stopping at max tier (8).
Overall Strategy:
Initial Climb:
To score as big as possible in Blitz you want to maintain as high of a multiplier as possible by climbing tiers fast and then maintaining the highest tier you can comfortably win in. The following details how I do this and how you can begin to try to do the same.
This method is controversial and some people consider it cheating so if you want to use it be aware that it might not be strictly okay.
As you win battles in blitz you will increase the difficulty and get a multiplier on the points you would earn. Every 4 wins in-a-row advances you to the next multiplier. If you lose at any point during the progress to the next multiplier you reset that tier and have to win 4 more in-a-row to advance. Also, if you haven’t made any progress in the tier and lose you drop down to the next lowest tier multiplier. That’s where force quitting comes in.
If you are about to lose and do not want to: Don’t quit the match. Instead force close the app while the battle hasn’t finished yet but you know you are going to lose. (For apple products that means opening up the app switch screen, double tap the menu button or with iphone x slow swipe up from bottom, then you slide the app off the top to force close it) This essentially tricks the app into thinking you got disconnected and prevents your tier progress from being effected. That means it won’t log it as a lose but the team is still put on cooldown.
Now that you have finished your initial climb you can start scoring the majority of your points.
If your top tier is any tier other than 8: Win up to 3 battles at that tier then use the weakest team you have and quit the battle to lose. This will reset you down to the start of that tier so that you can use the rest of your top teams at the tier you can reliably win at.
If your top tier is tier 8 you have two options: Do the same thing as listed above if you cannot win reliably at 8.3 tier, or do not reset the tier if you can reliably win with your top teams at 8.3. You cannot progress higher than 8.3 and 8.3 will pair you against harder (and worth more points) teams to score higher if you can manage it.
If you want to score the highest possible, play every 2 hours (you crazy crazy person).
If you want to use Blitz Charges to score even higher: Make sure you do not collect any charges while you are at the maximum of 500 or they will turn into gold. This means save your daily challenges and your daily quest. Now use your top teams until they no longer cost 25 Charges. This means using them several times. Then move onto the next team doing the same thing. Once you are starting to run low on Charges start collecting them from your various sources. More top teams means more Charges you can spend. If you do not have a lot of top teams and have a lot of Charges left over you can instead start spending 50 Charges to attack more with your best couple teams.

Team Building:
This is the hardest part for a majority of people. I have a webpage dedicated to team-building that you can use to either create your own teams, or use the pre-set teams I have come up with. The general goal of teams in Blitz is to cover the major jobs (buff-clear, taunt, AOE, single-target damage, etc.) and to have unique teams. Unique teams are teams that do not re-use the same character. This allows for you to have more total fights and use your Blitz Charges more efficiently than having the same character used in multiple teams.
